I think this is not a good approach. We would need to have a new linux-cip folder for each
release.

Patches for the cyclone board should be on its own CIP kernel repository (where you
can merge cip releases and add tags). Then, we can choose which version we want
by specifying the repository and tag/commit_id.

I don't think it is necessary since the CIP root filesystem only supports a few packages. Do you mind if I rewrite this and other 
unnecessary definitions?

Thanks,
