[yocto] [meta-raspberrypi] linux-raspberrypi versions

[Herve Jourdain]

Hi Paul,

I had the same line of thoughts...
I believe 3.18 should be dropped, maybe even 4.1, default to 4.4, and maybe
add 4.7 to the mix, since 4.7 seems to be where the bulk of the work is done
now.

Hi all,

I'm planning to look at the linux-raspberypi recipes once I've had time to
send V2 of my u-boot patches. I'd like to know people's thoughts on the
available kernel versions in the meta-raspberrypi layer:

Is anyone still using the linux-raspberrypi 3.18 recipe? The commit
referenced in SRCREV is from June 2015. I think it's probably time to retire
this unless anyone has a reason to keep it around.

Is there any reason to keep linux-raspberrypi 4.1 as the default recipe? The
last commit to the 4.1 branch was in April and the default branch on the
linux-raspberrypi GitHub repository has been
4.4 since then. I think we should change the default version to 4.4 unless
there's a good reason not to.

If there's no objections I'll send a couple of patches to drop 3.18 and
change the default to 4.4.

Thanks,
Paul Barker
