Package: linux-image-rpi
Version: 5.10.70-1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: bernha...@mailbox.org
Dear Maintainer,
I attempted to use a plain Debian image created with [1]
with a Raspberry Pi Zero WH and with
a "Serial Expansion HAT" via I2C.
Unfortunately it looks like the Debian kernel has the
needed module not enabled [2].
(A Raspbian shows the configuration shown in [3].)
But I am not sure if this would be sufficient already
(at least for multiple of this HATs),
because the manufacturer description leads to
adding some device tree overlays (sc16is752-i2c.dtbo), which seem not
to be contained in the linux-image-rpi package too.
Kind regards,
Bernhard

Hi
This bug was filed for a (very) old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution. Maybe it was for a feature enablement which nobody
acted on. We are sorry we were not able to timely deal with this issue.
There are many open bugs for the src:linux package and thus we are
closing older bugs where it's unclear if they still occur in newer
versions and are still relevant to the reporter. For an overview see:
https://bugs.debian.org/src:linux .
If you can reproduce your issue with
- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports
or, if it was a feature addition/wishlist and still consider it
relevant, then:
Please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.
Please try to provide as much fresh details including kernel logs where
relevant. In particular were an issue is coupled with specific hardware we
might ask you to do additional debugging on your side as the owner of the
hardware.
Regards,
Salvatore
