Just to try to shorten the round trip: it seems your change wasn't effective, the merge commit is still part of this PR.

Not from my end... I think Khem or Andrei might show up any moment, and either comment or press the Merge button

Looks like 6.18 doesn't support armv7 builds anymore? There are some hints online that bcm2711_defconfig was dropped intentionally due to the deprecation of ARM LPAE (whatever that is).

@OldManYellsAtCloud you are correct probably I need to leave:

PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-raspberrypi-v7 ??= "6.12.%"

set PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-raspberrypi-v7 ??= "6.12.%" to keep support for armv7

Please take a look at
https://github.com/agherzan/meta-raspberrypi/actions/runs/27426322708/job/82067458689?pr=1604

it seems v7 is still using 6.18 which is unexpected.

@kraj : I pushed again a fix for that, sorry

linux-raspberrypi: switch to Linux 6.18
c402938 
Switch the default linux-raspberrypi to 6.18.

Pin raspberrypi-armv7 to 6.12 for both linux-raspberrypi and
linux-raspberrypi-v7, since bcm2711_defconfig was dropped from
arch/arm/configs/ in 6.18 and 32-bit builds fail do_kernel_metadata.
arm64 machines stay on 6.18.
