[Buildroot] [PATCH] [RFC] platform: update galileo to 3.14 kernel

[Connolly, Padraig]

Hi Thomas,

That's perfect, I will do that.  I will also have to
update the .config file as some of the configuration
names have changed with the new 3.14 kernel.

Can you update the status of this patch or will I 
submit a new one?

Thanks,
Padraig Connolly

Then, it's fine to use a non-upstream kernel for this platform. Just
update the existing galileo_defconfig.

Best regards,

Thomas
