Did you ever get a chance to test this series?

Uhm, I never prepared a branch for Benoit to test. I have pushed the
patches with Thomas Acked-by's and renamed eeprom node based on
v3.17-rc1 to

Hi tahnks, that was my last question, because I was lost about which to apply from the list of 8.

Also I've noted you did some other patch for Armada XP not related to ix-4-300d, are they included here or should I get them too ?

I'll test those over Sunday night.

No, they are neither included nor is there any need to test. They are
about pcie-lanes property but it is more or less unused on Linux.

It is too late for v3.18 anyway, so I'll resend them once v3.18-rc1
drops.

Ok, great!

Hi,

No so great, so far what I've done:
- use my working config this config has worked over mainline 3.16 for weeks
- compil you branch with it using you dts file
- boot KO it get stuck on i2C pcf8563 init (at least it is the last message dsplayed.

then I turn on DEBUG_LL but I get nothing more on the serial that could help

- I've tried removing the eeprom section you added to the dts -> same results

Maybe I missed something ? is this branch you sent me a bare fork from mainline 3.17 ? does it includes the armada XP step A0 patch ?

Benoit,

the branch is straight forked from v3.17-rc1 with the patches in
question added. If there is any fixes that got in after rc1, they
are not included. I'll rebase the series on latest next tonight.

Anyway, I doubt the series is involved in the regression you see,
can you also boot plain v3.17-rc1 and v3.17 which got just released?

Also, DEBUG_LL will not give you any more information on this one,
as you passed serial console hand-off. You only need it for early
debugging and you have to make sure that (a) you select the correct
DEBUG_LL Kconfig for MVEBU with registers located at 0xd0000000 and
(b) you should always double check the phys/virt addresses of the
early console.

/dev/md0 is soft-RAID on your harddisks, isn't it?
Also, you should not need the mem= parameter but that is just a nit.

Jason, Thomas, Gregory,

we should add a "cache-unified" to the l2cc nodes for all SoCs.

Here is the serial console hand-off, i.e. if you get this far, you
don't need DEBUG_LL at all.

Shouldn't it detect your hard-disks attached here?

Benoit,

I prepared more branches with the series
- on top of v3.17 release:
https://github.com/shesselba/linux-dove.git devel/mvebu-ix4_v3.17

- on top of next-20141003 (i.e. what will become v3.18-rc1):
https://github.com/shesselba/linux-dove.git devel/mvebu-ix4_next-20141003

It would be great, if you can test in this order:
- vanilla v3.17
- mvebu-ix4_v3.17
- mvebu-ix4_next-20141003

If any branch fails, you can stop and please report back.

I also have the ix4 but I need more time for a full setup like you
already seem to have ready. Again, there is no hurry, take your time.

Thanks!

Sebastian

All the 3 branch works WHEN APPLYING A0 patch (below), with both my custom kernel config and the arch/arm/configs/mvebu_v7_defconfig

The reason why it didn't worked last time was that apparently the A0 patch (copied) below was not merged into 3.17 :(

This means that ix4-300d support is broken on 3.17 because of the A0 stepping patch not merged.

patch (from Andrew Lunn Acked-by Gregory Clement is missing:

Do you have a link to an email thread or the patch Subject line? I can
confirm it's missing from mvebu/fixes...

But you and Andrew should check what Arnd suggested. IIRC, there
was also an appropriate follow-up patch discussion started by
Andrew.

There was a lot of back and forth with Arnd. In the end, he gave up
arguing because too many voices did not like his solution. So my
original version stands.

However, the patch at the end of

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2014-July/275528.html

is useful, and it would be nice if it could be merged as well.

Yes, this appears to have been a mistake on my part. In the
