[PATCH 0/2] poky/yocto-bsps: introduce 4.9 as the default kernel

[Bruce Ashfield]

Hi all,

4.9 has been soaking for a while now, and it is ready (as far as we know) to
be the default for the qemu* machines.

I've also introduced a 4.9 bbappend for the reference BSPs, but have not
confirmed their boot myself. The reference maintainers can follow up with
ack/nak and updates.

I also have patches to remove 4.8, but I'm sitting on them until we know
that switching to 4.9 as the default has gone smoothly.

Bruce

[PATCH 2/2] yocto-bsps: add 4.9 bbappend

[Bruce Ashfield]

Introduce a 4.9 bbappend for the h/w reference BSPs. Since 4.8 will
be removed, we need to have this file in place.

I noticed that the 4.9 bbappend merged, but not the switch of the default
version
to 4.9.

Is there a bug or other issue lurking that I should look into ?

I'm prep'ing a 4.10 tree now, so this may be a moot point and we could jump
all
the way to 4.10 instead of the intermediate 4.9.

The autobuilder sanity tests were failing for every MIPS machine.  I can
run a rebuild now to verify it still happens.
