From: Bruce Ashfield <[email protected]> The -dev kernel used to only have standard/* branches, which were managed similarly to linux-next. Which means, they are for testing integration of patches, and are rebased as needed (typically on version changes).
We now do some leading edge BSP development on the -dev kernel, so the standard/* branches are not deleted, but are instead archived with a version prefix v<kernel version>/standard/* The branch renaming causes problems for maintained releases (they'll jump forward to newer kernels), and for anything that wants to specify a particular commit (-dev is AUTOREV by design). There's no reason why the branches can't start versioned at this point, and that solves both problems. So we switch our default branch to v5.16/standard/base now, and it will be updated with each new version (we bump the version anyway).
