I still won't take a patch that adds an option like this. It makes the
build non reproducible, which is plain and simply unacceptable in
Buildroot. So until you remove this, this patch cannot be accepted.

According to
https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/civilinfrastructureplatform/start,
gitlab is only a mirror, and the official Git repository is
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bwh/linux-cip.git/.

And in fact, according to
https://lists.cip-project.org/pipermail/cip-dev/2017-March/000167.html,
they even say that the gitlab mirror is no longer updated that
regularly due to technical issues.

So could you rework your patch using git.kernel.org instead of gitlab
(and therefore dropping the gitlab helper), and also dropping the
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_LATEST_CIP_VERSION_BRANCH option ?

Thanks,

Thomas
