I've found another trick, if you can actually booting a Linaro kernel
that you want the source for then early during boot you should see on
the serial console something like:

[    0.000000] Linux version 3.9.0-rc3-00212-g0f66281 ...

or if you have a console running on the device entering

   uname -a

will give the same result. The part of the name after the '-g' part is
the SHA1 of the git commit from which the kernel was built, e.g. in the
above example it is 0f66281.

You can then use this commit hash at the end of the URL for the gitweb
interface of the to the git repo like this:

https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=kernel/linux-linaro-tracking.git;a=commit;h=0f66281

and if the kernel was indeed built from that git repo then you should
see the tip commit of the kernel source used to build the kernel.

Now, I don't know how long our kernel names have included the SHA1 of
the commit, so for old kernels this may not work. Also, some kernel
releases didn't come out of the main Linaro kernel git. So this method
isn't foolproof.
