This really shouldn't be allowed to happen.  All the patches applied to
4.4-cip to support this board were already upstream, so this must be a
regression.  If this board is used as a basis for real systems that
need to run beyond EOL of the 4.4-cip branch (~2026), it needs to be
possible to upgrade them to a new kernel version at that time.
