need to generate an updated one that would support both rpi2/rpi3/rpi3b+ and not wait for 7.5.18xx release,
There are a couple of SRPM for 'kernel-alt' for alternate arches in the CentOS tree already. Why not cut to it?
kernel-alt /var/ftp/pub/nfs/mirror/redhat/centos/centos-7/7.4.1708/updates/\ Source/SPackages/kernel-alt-4.11.0-45.4.1.el7a.src.rpm
kernel-alt /var/ftp/pub/nfs/mirror/redhat/centos/centos-7/7.4.1708/updates/\ Source/SPackages/kernel-alt-4.11.0-45.el7.src.rpm
Because kernel-alt only contains specific patches for aarch64/armv8 and armhfp isn't covered at all (there is no "upstream" for it) So that's the reason why I have to use a different one for armhfp/armv7hl, and that we use so far the 4.9.x LTS branch.
After some discussions in #centos-arm, we are thinking about rebasing to 4.14.x when 7.5.18xx will drop, but nothing written in stone at this stage
