[meta-raspberrypi][PATCH 0/1] linux-raspberrypi_4.7.bb: upgrade to latest good version

[Herve Jourdain]

There seems to be a lot of rebasing these days on the raspberrypi linux repository for 4.7, with previously well-known revisions not existing anymore in the tree.
Also, some files have mysteriously disappeared from the tree when they were available 2 months ago, and just re-appeared 3 weeks ago...
This attempts to upgrade to the latest "good" version for 4.7, with all the files that should be there being present.
It does compile, as of today - until when depends highly on what's going on in the raspberrypi tree.

I think, we should abandon all non-lts recipes except one
which will be latest release ( 4.8 ) as of today.

Hi Khem,

If I may, I have an interest in keeping 4.7 for a few more months (2 or 3 I
guess).
I'm using it for a few things, and I don't currently plan to switch to 4.8,
but rather to 4.9 when it's more stable (hence the 2 or 3 additional
months).
As you already know, 4.9 is supposed to be the next LTS (if Greg
Kroah-Hartman doesn't change his mind), and I'd like to wait for it while
keep using the version I already use.

This said, given the recent rebasing on the raspberrypi github, at least for
version 4.7, it definitely is a maintenance burden.
If that can help, I'm volunteering to maintain the revision for the 4.7
raspberrypi linux kernel, for the next 2 to 3 months.

After that, the question that will remain is what revisions do we keep: we
currently have 4.1, 4.4, 4.7 and 4.8.
We will soon have 4.9.
4.1 and 4.4 are LTS (EOL = 09/2017 & 02/2018), neither 4.7 nor 4.8 will be,
and 4.9 is supposed to be.
What do you think we should do, scrap 4.1 and 4.7, leaving 4.4, 4.8 and 4.9?
Or keep only the LTS ones?

Herve

I think, we should abandon all non-lts recipes except one which will be
latest release ( 4.8 ) as of today.

Two LTS and one latest version of given time should be sufficient. I
should have deleted
4.7 when 4.8 came out.
