4.17 kernel published

4.17 kernel published

[Joel Stanley]

The 4.17 based kernel has been pushed to the openbmc Linux repository.
From gerrit:

    kernel: Move to 4.17

    This brings the dev-4.13 development cycle to a close. By the end of the
    cycle the 4.13 tree contained 236 patches.

    This moves all of the 4.13 based functionality on top of a 4.17 base. We
    currently have 97 patches in the tree. The reduction of 139 is mostly
    due to code landing in Linus' tree, with a handful of fixes being merged
    into the base patch.

    The configuration is updated with newly landed drivers. In addition new
    upstream security features are enabled, and legacy ATAG DTB support and
    /dev/mem are removed.

Please address future patches to the dev-4.17 branch.

Cheers,

Joel
