My understanding is that 4.4 is the BSP version that Marvell considers
complete and stable, which has received full QA testing. 4.14 is still
in development, and will be fully ready by the end of the year.
Therefore, in this defconfig using vendor-provided versions of the
components, it probably makes sense to stick to 4.4 for now ?

Best regards,

Thomas
