Poem

🐰 A kernel so fine, version two-point-six-three,
Across all the boards, we bump with such glee!
From point sixty-two to sixty-three true,
Configuration lines changed—just one through and through! 🥕✨

21-21: LGTM! Kernel version updated correctly.

The kernel version has been bumped to 6.12.63 as expected.

21-21: LGTM! Kernel version updated correctly.

The kernel version has been bumped to 6.12.63 consistently with other board configurations.

21-21: LGTM! Kernel version updated correctly.

The kernel version has been bumped to 6.12.63 consistently with other board configurations.

buildroot-external/configs/odroid_n2_defconfig (1)

21-21: Kernel version 6.12.63 is valid and includes security fixes.

The kernel version bump to 6.12.63 is confirmed:

The update across all board configurations is appropriate and security-justified.

21-21: Kernel version bump looks correct.

The update to kernel version 6.12.63 is consistent with the other board configurations.

buildroot-external/configs/khadas_vim3_defconfig (1)

21-21: Kernel version bump looks correct.

The update to kernel version 6.12.63 is consistent with the other board configurations.

buildroot-external/configs/ova_defconfig (1)

21-21: Kernel version bump looks correct.

The update to kernel version 6.12.63 is consistent with the other board configurations.

buildroot-external/configs/green_defconfig (1)

21-21: Kernel version bump looks correct.

The update to kernel version 6.12.63 is consistent with the other board configurations.

buildroot-external/configs/odroid_c2_defconfig (1)

21-21: Kernel version 6.12.63 is available and the configuration is correct.

The kernel tarball is available at cdn.kernel.org (confirmed HTTP 200). The configuration is syntactically valid and internally consistent—the kernel version, header package (line 2), and build config fragments (line 24) all reference the 6.12.y series appropriately.

Note that 6.12.63 is an older stable release (current stable is 6.18.3), so verify that this version meets the stability and security requirements for the ODROID C2 board.

buildroot-external/configs/odroid_m1_defconfig (1)

21-21: LGTM — security/stability update.

Kernel version 6.12.63 is confirmed available at kernel.org and includes multiple security and stability fixes (CVE-2025-68344, CVE-2025-68347, CVE-2025-68352, CVE-2025-68371, CVE-2025-68733, CVE-2025-68744, CVE-2025-68747). The version string is correctly formatted and consistent with Buildroot conventions.
