Yes we do. The case where we don't need the patch (ie kernel 4.4) is the case we *can* test. If the patch is found to cause problems with newer kernels then certainly it should be removed (or updated as Martin suggested), but I haven't seen anyone suggest that it's causing any issues. -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
