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

[Martin Bergek]

Paul,

I am having stability issues with the USB subsystem on Raspberry Pi 3 under 4.4 that I can’t reproduce under 4.1. I assume 4.1 will still remain in the recipe when 4.4 is made the default option. How long would the 4.1 version stay so that those that want to can keep the old kernel version?

For more information about my issue please see: https://www.mail-archive.com/yocto@yoctoproject.org/msg30362.html

Thanks,
Martin Bergek
