Help for 4.19 needed

[frank-w]

Hi,

because 4.19 will be the next lts-kernel (see https://www.kernel.org/releases.html), i need some help to get features from 4.14 working.

i pushed my work here https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14/tree/4.19-rc

what is working (additional to mainline):

• wifi-driver
• poweroff
• hdmi+fbdev (hdmi-branch)
• thermal ( cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp )

what is not working:

• hdmi @ryder.lee is there a newer patchset of http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mediatek/2018-May/013240.html
• bluetooth (also not working in 4.14)
• second gmac (tried to port in 4.18-gmac, but since 4.15 dsa-driver changed to much)
• hnat @ryder.lee how far is the driver?
• fbdev (ported by alex r aka d3adme4t to 4.16), i currently try to port

i hope some people help me getting things to work. maybe other features are missing, please test and tell me. you find compiled kernels on releases-tab of github

also want to kick-off wmt-tools from wifi-driver: https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14/tree/wifi_patching here i need most help (currently it crashes because not finding regulator nodes which are present)

regards Frank

as for hdmi, i added the patches (modified some) except fbdev and got a xserver displayed

frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14

if i add fbdev (hdmi#5_fbdev_cd45c8c1e5df98dae58ad916c06dbee8726f483a.patch (14,3 KB) ) i get this build-errors:

as far as i see in 4.16 each function in this file has returntype mtk_drm_fb…in 4.19 it is a generic drm_framebuffer

frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14/blob/4.16-main/drivers/gpu/drm/mediatek/mtk_drm_fb.c

so i added this type, but can’t get it running by changing return-type alone, tried now to fix by using drm_framebuffer

struct drm_framebuffer *mtk_drm_framebuffer_create(...) {
struct drm_framebuffer *mtk_fb;
...
return mtk_fb;//&mtk_fb->base;
}

compiles fine…and i got a FB-Console over HDMI
