Before I switch kernel versions, I execute a
bitbake -c clean linux-omap3-2.6.31
and then start working on linux-omap3-2.6.29
Shouldn't that remove all the older linux kernel version artifacts.
For a build system, you should be able to go back and forward with
respect to versions, not only keep moving forward.
In this particular scenario, the reason I have to switch between
kernel versions is omap-pm and dss2. I'm trying to get a proper power
management infrastructure working with linux-omap3-2.6.29, modified to
work with android. There is not much active development on pm for
v2.6.29.
v2.6.31 has integrated pm and dss2 support, but I have issues with
DSS2 not working for some reason with android-2.6.31. Hence, I keep
having to shuttle back and forth trying new patches, testing a few
things out.
The release that I make to my customer is v2.6.29, however, my
experiments take me to v2.6.31.
