Hello,

I'm new to i.MX6 and don't use yocto, so pelase forgive me if I ask a 
maybe stupid question.

> 	-  Kernel upgrade to 3.10.31

3.10.y is already at 3.10.52. Is there any reason why the current stable
version of the longterm 3.10.y branch isn't used as a base?

Because I've run into a problem with 3.10.17 which was fixed with
v3.10.22 (december last year) I've recently rebased those 1200+ patches
myself on top of 3.10.52, without any problems (took me around 15
minutes to solve 3 conflicts, testing excluded). So merging the current
stable version of 3.10.y, if prefered, should be equally easy.

My understanding of the stable trees is that they are especially used to 
provide security fixes (besides bugfixes). So I don't really understand 
why about 20 minor releases of maybe import fixes are ignored.
