It's pretty simple:
- If a platform has reasonable support in the mainline Linux kernel,
then we prefer if our defconfigs use the mainline Linux kernel. By
"reasonable" support, I mean support with sufficient features for
the platform to actually be useful.
- If a platform doesn't have reasonable support in the mainline Linux
kernel, then we accept defconfigs that use other Linux kernel trees
(from vendors, or community maintained, etc.).
Best regards,
Thomas
