All, Recently several Yocto Project members have expressed interest in being able to upgrade the Linux kernel in Dunfell LTS release from 5.4 to 5.10. Both of those Linux kernel versions are designated "longterm"[1], but at the time Dunfell was released in April 2020, 5.10 was not out yet.
Recommended way to add new features or upgrade components in Yocto LTS releases is with the so called "mixin" layers[2]. After discussing some of the details of such layer among the Yocto Project TSC and other interested developers, as well as testing the concept for few weeks, I'd like to make this open to a wider consumption in hopes it would be useful to others. This Linux kernel "mixin" layer is currently hosted on GitHub under my name[3], but can be moved to a more public space, like Yocto Project git server, if it gets traction and is found useful to others. Please feel free to try it and provide feedback. Thanks!
