I prefer the option test -- this means no changes are needed on the
kernel build side if it ever finds itself backported to earlier versions
(and it handles the current case of "14" not meaning "absolute latest").

More specifically, I think you want this (untested):

diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index b5fd51e68ae9..9845ea50a368 100644
--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile
