Thanks for this, I put it through testing after tweaking it to remove a
rouge inherit. There were some issues:

a) genericarm64 version issue:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/166/builds/687

Warnings since genericarm64 isn't available as 6.10. Everything else
seemed to miss the preferred_version and build 6.6

b) crypto-dev failures:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/64/builds/9329
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/45/builds/9340
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/40/builds/9313
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/52/builds/9161/steps/11/logs/stdio
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/117/builds/5141/steps/12/logs/stdio
(the latter taking out the reproducibility build so that wasn't tested)

c) meta-virt xen issues:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/128/builds/3455

d) meta-agl kernel config fragment warnings:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/120/builds/4556

e) meta-arm kernel config fragment warnings:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/113/builds/5810

f) qemumips64 parselogs issue:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/74/builds/9240/steps/14/logs/stdio
"failed when register_sysctl_sz sched_fair_sysctls to kernel"
"failed when register_sysctl_sz sched_core_sysctls to kernel"
"pci 0000:00:00.0: [Firmware Bug]: BAR 5: invalid; can't size"
(and other BARs)

g) qemumips parselogs issue:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/60/builds/9256/steps/15/logs/stdio
Similar to qemumips64

h) qemuarmv5 config fragment warning:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/160/builds/989

I've copied agl/arm people.

Probably nothing too surprising. I'll drop some of the patches whilst
we resolve these but see if we can keep the headers upgrade and the
point release bumps.

I'll try and test the crypto-dev upgrade on the list as that might help
that issue.

Cheers,

Richard
