[SUGGESTION] Add mvebu 6.8 patches, move to rmk tree

Open Heisath opened this issue 1 year ago • 10 comments

Description

Hi. mvebu has been moved to csc some time ago. Now every once in a while a patch breaks and we have to remove it / fix it. Russel King keeps a pretty up to date kernel tree for clearfog over at http://git.armlinux.org.uk/cgit/linux-arm.git/log/?h=clearfog So I tried to move our mvebu-edge to be based on his work. This allows us to include lots of mvebu patches without the need to maintain them.

I would like to discuss the advantages and disadvantages with you!

Also this is some movement to finally get the helios4 pwm patch mainlined over at the linux-pwm/gpio/kernel mailing list.

Jira reference number AR-2015

How Has This Been Tested?

Ran kernel build.

Pro: less maintaining, perhaps more features and fixes Cons: development branch that goes with the mainline code when developers finds time. Can be days, but also weeks - months behind upstream. Making release out of this might not be best using this code.

I am fine with both ways. EDGE is here to experiment. If it proves to be worse, we still can go back.

is vitesse-vsc73xx distributed switch used by any of the solid run boards?

removed vsc73xx and ran into a different tangle... I'll have to try harder and look more closely

I can have a look at it this afternoon.

I looked at it and moved the kernel to 6.8 for mvebu edge. Compilation of kernel works I think. Sadly the build framework fails at the end and I have no idea whats wrong. Never got into the new build output format...

I think this is the same problem @lanefu ran into.

Closing, outdated.
