Today myself, Srinath, SameeraP, Jayanga discussed about the kernel
patching strategy on GIT and agreed to following procedure. Please let us
know if you have any concerns.


   - When accommodating changes (new features + bug fixes) it will be
   always merged to master branch (trunk).
   - We will allow API changes such that it supports backward compatibility.
   - When we need to deprecate or remove API's we'll keep those pull
   requests and will be merged only during a major release.
   - During a release team will create a release branch from master branch
   and do the release with a new version.
   - When doing fixes on released branches it will be apply to master
   branch if its not already fixed on master.


Srinath, SameeraP, Jayanga please feel free to add if I missed anything.

Regards,
Manoj
