Can someone explain the difference between "kernel-branch" and "kernel-describe" to me and why they would show two different kernel version numbers?
kernel-branch is supposed to be the kernel branch used. kernel-describe is the output of git describe.
Why do you have a branch per "rc" anyway? That's going to be crazy...
Sumit's tree has a single branch 4.4.y-rc-hikey, which isn't. The kernel-branch value in this case is the tag that he used.
See https://git.linaro.org/lkft/arm64-stable-rc.git
As we use the same template for all the kernels, we end with this bogus value. For this particular tree, we can either remove the value as a whole or set an empty value instead of fallback to the tag name.
thanks,
