Description Tomasz Kłoczko 2017-04-03 17:36:41 UTC

Hi,

I've manage to boot first time ever my pine64+ out of Fedora rawhide resource.
Full boot log:
https://pastebin.com/0HKLX7ar

To come to this stage is necessary to add ATF support to uboot and I'm going to submit necessary modifications in separated ticket.

After booting from current fedora 4.11 rc3 kernel seems most of the things are working and only one minor OOPS is reported during boot (AllWinner maintainer is looking on it now and hopefully it will be clean this issue as well shortly).
However two things are not working: eth nic and wifi.

I've contacter Icenowy and he told me on IRC that two small patches needs to be included:

https://github.com/Icenowy/linux/commit/3113306348272dea340499bb972da79fc9fc6506 https://github.com/Icenowy/linux/commit/2ed635073e3f76031f4fa487df19412f39c63c0a

I still have few other things to do and as I have no crosscompile env ready to use or rebuilding fedora kernel + those patches on pine64 may take very long may I ask to include those patches in next kernel release? It will help me greatly.
As long as those patches are related to only pine64 specific dts files it is no risk affecting other things is null.

Please hold on I'll try only confirm that those patches are applying without rejections.

Comment 2 Tomasz Kłoczko 2017-04-06 20:36:07 UTC

closing. Those two patches are not needed.
