16:02 <phh> hello (ping notably narmstrong), we would like to mainline our device (Freebox Player Pop, that's an S905X2/secure boot device). It is however not buyable, since it's only available as part of our operator subscription, though there are >1M people who will be able to boot that kernel. (even though we'll gladly provide some hardware samples to maintainers). Is it acceptable to put non-buyable devices' device tree in kernel?

16:08 <f_> I don't see why it wouldn't be acceptable IMO.

16:16 <narmstrong> phh: hi, yes, there's plenty of development boards that are internal to vendors, and they aren't buyable, so I don't see the difference here

16:17 <narmstrong> phh: having a real product using secure boot would be great!

16:17 <f_> amlogic reference boards come to mind.

16:18 <f_> Those have DTs in the kernel but aren't actually buyable.

16:18 <narmstrong> exact, I had access to those when at BL, but they were produced only for engineers and sent to companies to evaluate the soc

16:18 <narmstrong> but buyable hw are heavily based on them, so..

16:19 <f_> and their DTs are (ab)used by people to get their box to boot linux lol

16:20 <narmstrong> if it make people use mainline, then it's worth it...

16:20 <f_> Never said it wasn't :D

16:41 <f_> mm :/

16:42 <f_> Looks like the dwc3 driver is too big

16:43 <narmstrong> you don't need it for gadget

16:43 <narmstrong> only dwc2

16:43 <narmstrong> and only the gadget one

16:43 <f_> Don't I need the "glue" code?

16:44 <narmstrong> hmm, yes but it's completely independent even if it's in the dwc3 dir

16:45 <f_> yeah so the glue driver depends on dwc3 support being enabled

16:46 <f_> talking about CONFIG_USB_DWC3_MESON_GXL depending on CONFIG_USB_DWC3

16:46 <narmstrong> damn, yeah, it's quite bad, it shouldn't

16:46 <f_> :P

16:47 <f_> It's under "*** Platform Glue Driver Support ***"

16:47 <narmstrong> there's no good place for that...

16:47 <narmstrong> perhaps it should be moved to drivers/usb/glue

16:48 <f_> GXL BTW.

16:48 <narmstrong> yeah it will be the same stuff got g12a

16:48 <narmstrong> *for

16:49 <f_> So in theory I only need the dwc2 gadget code?

16:50 <narmstrong> no, the glue is needed to configure the phy and the glue code to redirect signals to the dwc2

16:50 <f_> (and the glue code)

16:50 <narmstrong> yup

16:50 <f_> yeah so I'll try getting it to not depend on USB_DWC3 and see what happens

16:51 <f_> I expect lots of undefined functions TBH

17:07 <marc|gonzalez> be back later, bye :)
