By default the -dev kernel uses the "AUTOREV" to pull in the branch
head as the revision. Some of our BSPs are based on the -dev kernel and
we choose to nail down the kernel to a specific revision when releasing
our product by using some setting like below:
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-yocto-dev"
SRCREV_machine:pn-linux-yocto-dev = "6fb48ae18a10770702266dd1f1aa500149e361ec"
KBRANCH:pn-linux-yocto-dev = "standard/x86"
LINUX_VERSION = "5.15"
Since all the standard/* branches will be rebased after each kernel
version bump, we would get bitbake fetch failure due to that specific
commit is not reachable in the new version branch. This kind of issue
can be fixed by setting the "nobranch" parameter in the SRC_URI because
it will cause the fetcher to skip the SHA validation for the branch.
And this also won't cause other side effect because all the branches
will be created in the do_kernel_checkout() and the current branch will
be reset to the reversion we want in do_validate_branches().
