kernel-dev: Scrubbed out the 3.4 kernel references.
This kernel is not supported and is ancient. Many of the examples were referencing this kernel. I switched to use the 3.19 version. Reported-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@crashcourse.ca> (From yocto-docs rev: ba04c4f11a02b4562994d5d79838cd2cf90efc7e) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>

This "fri2" standard description introduces a few more variables

and commands that are worth further discussion.

Notice the <filename>branch fri2</filename> command, which creates

a machine-specific branch into which source changes are applied.

With this branch set up, the <filename>git merge</filename> command

uses Git to merge in a feature branch named "emgd-1.14".

You could also handle this with the <filename>patch</filename>

command.

are a convenient mechanism.
