ugh. protip: if you're going to wrap your thing in a soc {} block, make sure to specify `ranges;` :/

I'm guessing the goal is to mainline it, so I'd assume 5
<hanetzer>
5
<Xogium>
3 didn't have dt afaik… or if it did it was probably a lot more primitive :D
<hanetzer>
I mean, aside from stupid pitfalls dts stuff isn't that hard.
<Antitrack>
I'm working on odroid c4 , but kernel 5 has problems all over. bad/slow video driver, UART getting only ready after 30 secs, slow u-boot makes booting a 50sec pain-experience due to i2c bugs, etc.etc.
<Xogium>
its certainly more fun than crappy acpi *cough*
<hanetzer>
Xogium: or a million board files.
<Antitrack>
I once messed with a dtb file for kernel 3 and odroid c2 to enable all uarts - it was one file and it worked.....
<Xogium>
Antitrack: ouch, that's not nice
<Antitrack>
and I have no real idea how to fix all these issues, or when they will be fixed. seems to dangle on one single lonely kernel developer, "tobetter"...
<hanetzer>
on another note, KASAN is very useful for figuring out why shit is borked :P
<Antitrack>
KASAN?
<Xogium>
sigh… the joys of sbc barely supported in mainline because the vendors don't bother upstreaming
<Antitrack>
I googled for Kasan, but I am only getting a town in usbekistan
<hanetzer>
Xogium: heh. yeah, this and similar chips are all over the world in cctv/nvr devices.
<hanetzer>
not a good look to have old ass kernels in them.
<Xogium>
hanetzer: I know right ? I tried to make the mangopi work
<Xogium>
typical chinese sbc trying to take over the world and failing. Armv5
<Antitrack>
"mangopi"! (soon they are gonna run out of fruit names...!)
<Xogium>
Antitrack: yup they'll have to go with vegetables ;p
<Antitrack>
:-)
<Xogium>
honestly I tried but… ugh. Even the vendor kernel was a mess (no surprise there), they actually did not give the kernel
<Xogium>
they gave me the buildroot, though ! ... with a 3900 lines long patch to add support for the board
<Xogium>
for kernel
<Xogium>
so kile you take this 4.4.99 mainline and stick their giant patch on top
<Xogium>
*like rather
<hanetzer>
heh. I had to get the sdk for this chip (and similar ones) from taobao lmao
<Xogium>
good luck finding something broken in there
<Xogium>
I mean… goodness sake. At least have the decency of splitting your changes into multiple patches
<hanetzer>
heh. they didn't even give patches. just a prepatched tarball
<Antitrack>
did anyone use buildroot to get a system working for odroid c4? the original docs from hardkernel give me some compile error, nothing else
<hanetzer>
it says its 3.4.35 in the root Makefile but there are changes which are obviously backports :/
<Xogium>
hanetzer: ouch that's even more mean than what I got…
<hanetzer>
and I haven't even gotten around to working against their blob drivers lmao
<Xogium>
Antitrack: fwiw upstream buildroot doesn't have support for c4 only xu4 and c2

ah okay, thanx for the info

anyone know offhand if/how you can get a platform_device from a device_node ?

hanetzer: of_find_device_by_node()

Xogium: I dunno what the problem is. There is apparently enough people caring and updating/fixing the code? Does it need to have an active maintainer?
<milkylainen>
Generic fs stuff?
<milkylainen>
Should be enough of those anyway.
<Xogium>
milkylainen: I saw that it is already orphened
<Xogium>
the guy who submitted it in one patch only is already unresponsive and hasn't bothered replying to emails or anything
