Correct, our convention in defconfigs is that the version of the Linux
kernel and bootloader/firmware should be fixed. Indeed, we want the
defconfigs to be known working configurations, that have been tested on
hardware. If we let them the default/latest Linux/U-Boot version, it
means this version gets auto-updated, without the defconfig maintainer
necessarily checking that it is still works OK on HW.
So: policy is to use fixed version for Linux kernel and bootloaders in
defconfigs.
Best regards,
Thomas
