Hi Quentin,
Could you please update this patch with OF_UPSTREAM support?
No, I cannot yet :/
Tiger is only available in Linux kernel v6.9-rcX and dts/ in U-Boot is currently at v6.8.
I see, then we may need to support the board without OF_UPSTREAM during the dts is available
in kernel tree but not available in U-Boot dts/upstream.
What are we supposed to do for this then?
Would bumping dts/ to an -rc tag be ok for U-Boot?
Hi Tom,
What's policy of the dts/upstream suppose to update? This is the typical issue there is gap
between the dts merge in mainline kernel and available in next release.
Thanks, - Kever
After all, those are rc and not "stable" branches. Do we need to wait for the actual kernel release before bumping dts/ (so wait for up to 2 months before supporting a board in U-Boot)? Should we have an intermediate solution where we use the "old" model (NOT OF_UPSTREAM) until we bump dts/ to the latest kernel release and the DTS is available through OF_UPSTREAM?
Cheers, Quentin
