Although your patch seems technically correct except missing
checksum.ini entry. There was concern amongst devs in the past about
handing minor releases
of kernel. Should it be added as a patch on top of base release or
should they be added as
separate recipes. There were opinions on both sides I am not sure what
the outcome was.

Thanks
