meson: remove tag defined in KERNELBRANCH for 6.6 mainline kernel #7712
Conversation
The 6.1 kernel is no longer supported by armbian and will be removed very soon. |
Usually the commits applied to linux-stable are necessary fix, and usually no changes to current kernel API. If that breaks our patch, we should fix ours. |
The point of this is to adapt the patches to the new kernel version for sunxi-legacy, which is 6.1.125 today. The tags for sunxi should be left off. P.S. I want to limit my participation in the Armbian project to just putting the patches for sunxi |

Now this pr will only change meson family. |
Description
After we enable BTF for all families in #7629, mainline kernel 6.1/6.6 before v6.1.113/v6.6.54 can't load dkms module because of missing patch torvalds/linux@f34d086.
Deleting the line defining a tag to KERNELBRANCH can make us use branch linux-${KERNEL_MAJOR_MINOR}-y in linux-stable repo by default.
I use command
git grep KERNELBRANCH|grep tag|grep -E "v6.1\.|v6.6"
to find the tree families defining a tag for 6.1/6.6 kernel.6.1 and 6.6 are lts kernel release long time ago and there should not be much change in the stable branch which can break our patches, and we can always keep the kernel up to date by using the linux-stable branch.
