The version of this firmware provided by linux-firmware is 7.45.41.26. This
version seems to have connectivity issues when bonding interfaces. Raspbian
included an updated version (7.45.41.46) which tested, proved to fix this
problem (see https://github.com/resin-os/meta-resin/issues/812).
The version Raspbian is providing is not yet in linux-firmware as they have it
directly from Cypress (see https://github.com/RPi-Distro/repo/issues/88).
Besides the issue described above, it fixes various other issues including a
broadpwn fix.
Hopefully this version, or a newer one, will end up in upstream soon. In order
to catch when that happens and stop overwriting this firmware, a check is added
in the racipe based on the md5sum of the current shipped firmware.
In terms of ditribution license, we got an informal one in the github thread
mentioned above.

This should avoid network traffic to resolve ${AUTOREV} unless this
recipe is explicitly selected as the preferred provider of
virtual/kernel.

currently there is no way to override the default CMDLINE,
this variable needs to be set only if the developer didn't set it already from
another layer.

The rpi-4.4.y branch has been unmaintained for a couple of months now.
Let's drop it before branching for pyro.

This makes the linux-raspberrypi_dev recipe more flexible by allowing
the kernel branch to be overridden in local.conf.

The development branches of linux-raspberrypi are rebased frequently. To
avoid fetch failures caused by out-of-date git hashes we need to use
AUTOREV.
LINUX_VERSION may need to be overridden in local.conf to match the
upstream version.

Currently the firmware is installed but kernel fails to load it
due this .txt file missing in the firmware directory and it ends
up with wifi/bluetooth i/f not being initialized. The error is
also in dmesg
[ 3.120991] usbcore: registered new interface driver brcmfmac
[ 3.148240] brcmfmac mmc1:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt failed with error -2
After applying this patch now ifconfig -a can list wlan0 interface
successfully.

The linux-raspberrypi 4.1 recipe has been broken for a while, probably since
09b76a43f6. It should now be safe to drop this
version.

DISTRO_TYPE doesn't seem to be set anywhere in OE/poky. This causes
CMDLINE_DEBUG to default to "debug" which is very noisy. This is
especially true when building a systemd based system, as systemd
also looks at the kernel commandline to set the debug level.
Such a system is nearly unuseable from the serial console due
to the amount of data logged by systemd.

The rpi-4.8.y branch of git://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git was rebased,
losing any previous commit hashes. This latest update doesn't include the
raspberry pi patches for 4.8.6, but the upstream patches are included starting
with 4.8.11.

The NO_GENERIC_LICENSE map value for Firmware-broadcom_brcm80211 needs
to have the full path to LICENSE.broadcom_brcm80211 from the URL
instead of just the filename.
Fixes the following warning building the linux-firmware recipe:
