Yeah, TI pretty much gave up on trying to get support for that chip=20 upstream a few years ago.

OK, it will be great to get my DM8168EVM booting on mainline. But there=20 are a few preliminary issues with the patches: 1. All new chip and board support needs to be DT-only. So, no new board=20 files. Also, all the hwmod data shouldn't have IRQ, DMA, etc. data - that= =20 should come from DT. See for example the recently posted patch "[PATCH=20 13/14] ARM: AM33XX: hwmod data: irq, dma and addr info clean up" 2. Looks like patch 2 is missing from the list. If it's too big for the=20 list, please break it down into smaller patches. 3. Did you write this code and data, hwmods, etc., or did it come from a=20 TI kernel? Please note this clearly in the patch descriptions. - Paul --843723315-942192677-1370490748=:15042-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
