As you maybe noticed from the history of the git, I first tried older more minimal patches, before I stumbled upon this current one which actually works for me: Today was first time ever that I booted my Teres-I off of an up-to-date (and then patched) u-boot. As I noted a moment ago at https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Olimex/Teres-I#A2019.01_fork I suspect the patch include some legacy parts no longer needed with arm-trusted-firmware 2.0. But I am hesitant messing with it myself due to my quite limited skills here. > Have the patches been submitted upstream? Is the added .dts based on > the one included in the linux kernel? Short version: No. I am not in contact with the author of the patch, just lifted it our of their rpm source package and applied ot to our u-boot package. This is as far as I know the newest conversation related to this (and the post that clued me in on searching for work done by Torsten Duwe): https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/2/4/1012 My understanding is that it is is being pushed to Linux kernel actively by Icenowy Zheng, and for u-boot seemingly only exists as the work by Torsten Duwe which seemingly is not pushing it upstream actively. My (wild) guess is that Icenowy will push it to u-boot when in Linux. > It would be helpful to either include the patches in the bug report, > or submit a merge request on salsa.debian.org. Mixing the two methods > feels a bit suboptimal to me. I was awaiting your response to know what you preferred. I am not familiar with Gitlab merge requests, but am willing to try if guided. But easiest for me is to simply push directly to the u-boot git if that's ok with you (I got write access already since you put it in the debian area on salsa). If you want me to add it in a separate branch, then what branch name do you prefer? - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
