The next thing I'd like to point out is that as part of this release we've re-synced with upstream for libfdt
Hello Tom,
Regarding the DTC parser (/scripts/dtc/version_gen.h)
#define DTC_VERSION "DTC 1.4.6-gaadd0b65"
Is this compatible with the new libfdt that we have , and, are there any plans to update this to a newer version? (aadd0b65 is about 2 years old -2018/02)
I tried to try out with a new DTC version but most devicetrees have new warnings popping out blocking travis/CI etc.
I believe that needing to fix all of the device trees was what put my last effort to re-sync with upstream dtc on hold. That I think in turn was blocked by wanting to re-sync dts files with upstream Linux and that in turn for TI am335x at least got stuck on changes to the cpsw driver and associated bindings. That last problem I think is either unblocked now, or can be once I go through my queue of TI related patches to apply.
On a related note, I also want to start a slow re-sync of the Kbuild files as they've gone a while without a re-sync and I think just doing a big jump looked hard, but a release or two at a time didn't seem too bad.
