The rule is simple: r1, r2, etc for platform fixes and a, b, etc for core code fixes.
So may look like this:
3.1      // official, generic core change
3.1r1    // official, platform change only
3.1r2    // official, platform change only
3.1a     // official, generic core and platform fix
3.1a.r1  // official, platform change only
