Slight nit is it could be good to have a bit more documentation for our future selves (specifically, that setting LINUX_MAJOR_VERSION overrides LINUX_VERSION, were both to be set in build-kernel.sh), but not worth a hold-up. Thank you for these changes!

Research direction

Read build-kernel.sh and inspect how LINUX_VERSION and LINUX_MAJOR_VERSION are set and used. Update the documentation to state that setting LINUX_MAJOR_VERSION overrides LINUX_VERSION when both are configured, then verify the wording covers the version environment variables mentioned in the issue.
