[yocto] [meta-raspberrypi][PATCH 0/2] Drop kernel versions 4.7 and 4.8

[Herve Jourdain]

Hi Gary,

I believe that we will see for 4.9 the same issues we had with 4.8, heavy
rebasing from the downstream.
I'm currently working with the upstream - plus patches - and I plan to have
a yocto build that would take the upstream source and add some patches,
instead of taking the downstream as a reference.
Is this an approach that could be interesting to people using yocto and
RaspberryPi? Any thoughts on that? Or another solution to remove the
dependency to the downstream and its constant rebasing?

Cheers,
Herve

However, there is this error when I tried to switch to 4.9:
