<mturquette>
Turl: but i'm always idling and logging, so just go ahead and ask your question
<Turl>
mripard: np
<Turl>
mripard: I've started to write a PM driver, and I require to get a hold of some clocks for it
<Turl>
usually, if it were a normal driver I'd just use clocks = <...> on dt and be done with it, but pm is not a device as such
<mturquette>
Turl: i think you are auto-completing mripard, but do you mean to auto-complete mturquette ??
<Turl>
err yes, sorry mripard
<Turl>
I got a bit used to pidgin's autocomplete and irssi's one is different :)
<mturquette>
so the driver you are writing, does it have a corresponding DT node?
<Turl>
mturquette: not really
BJfreeman has quit [Client Quit]

mturquette: unless I stuff the clocks somewhere else, like on a cpu node or soc bus, but I don't think it's a very clean solution

hello
<hramrach__>
ssvb: I tried some tests with wemac
<hramrach__>
finally got the iperf working properly
<hramrach__>
results so far: my reference 2 weeks old 3.4 kernel on a10 is broken. current 3.4 kernel on a10 (hansg a20 branch) is broken current 3.4 kernel on a20 is broken. reference 3.3 kernel on a20 works.
<hramrach__>
lpa is the same every time wemac wemac.0: eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1
<hramrach__>
patch does not apply - I don't have the phy_link_check function
<hramrach__>
applying the patch with some manula intervention raises speed from hundreds kbit to 30 mbit
<hramrach__>
the reference 3.3 kernel does 60mbit so there is room for improvement
<hramrach__>
I get 3 EMAC PHY Link waiting...... so the wait would be like 1.5-2s

so there is some hw difference I guess
<hramrach__>
in general the patch does improve things a lot on cubieboard
<arokux1>
oliv3r, I somehow do not like the idea of messing around with openwrt
<oliv3r>
openwrt is awesome
<oliv3r>
all my routers run openwrt
<arokux1>
full blown distro would be much better
<oliv3r>
and I wouldn't want it any other way
<oliv3r>
i actually even have some virtual machines running as webservers, openwrt
<oliv3r>
15mb for the OS is pretty cool, with aapche, mysql etc
<arokux1>
oliv3r, wouldn't you want you routers to run debian? :)
<oliv3r>
no
<oliv3r>
openwrt is tuned and optimized for routing of networking packets
<oliv3r>
though I wouldn't be supprised this would run emdebian (if there's enough space) just fine
<oliv3r>
and if using it only as a router, why run a full blown distro, wasting flash space :p
<oliv3r>
not to mention there's not even a nice GUI :)
<arokux1>
oliv3r, where?
rellla has joined #linux-sunxi
rz2k has joined #linux-sunxi
<oliv3r>
arokux1: in debian; openwrt has a nice gui (to configure your wifi/firewall
<arokux1>
oliv3r, this is not so important for me
<arokux1>
oliv3r, i just find it amazing that the router like hardware could be actually only bought most cheaply as router!
<arokux1>
(dlink, tplink etc)
<arokux1>
then one need to smash the stock software and flash it with openwrt
<oliv3r>
yeah :)
<oliv3r>
i wonder how usable a tp-link is as debian
<arokux1>
oliv3r, why there is no JUST hardware, without software...?
<arokux1>
it should be cheaper.. or?
<oliv3r>
you'd think
<oliv3r>
but remember, consumers (users) want something they buy, plugin and it has to work
<oliv3r>
then most of these manufacturers buy the whole design, chiP + software
<mripard>
arokux1: no one would buy it except a few geeks, production would be very low, the hardware would be more expensive.
<oliv3r>
so it's 'done' mostly as they buy it
<oliv3r>
mripard: Hi
<arokux1>
mripard, and could tp link just offer hacker friendly version of their devices without their software with reduced price? :)
<mripard>
arokux1: why ? they have no interest in doing so
<arokux1>
mripard, because their software sucks and i do not want to pay for it :((
<oliv3r>
how much is their software worth do you think?
<oliv3r>
They budget maybe 2 cents per router for the software?
<oliv3r>
which is why its so totally crap most of the time
<mripard>
arokux1: yeah, but the software cost is almost null, so you wouldn't benefit from it
<mripard>
while having to handle this in production is an extra burden. and an additionnal cost
<arokux1>
oliv3r, and then they prohibit others to develop something else
<arokux1>
WHY?
<oliv3r>
they don't care
<oliv3r>
that's why
<oliv3r>
they buy the chip, they get a "free" sdk with it from the chip manufacturer
<oliv3r>
they change the options/settings so that the firmware supports their hardware configuration combination
<oliv3r>
(e.g. wifi chip A, ram chip B, flash chip C)
<arokux1>
oliv3r, i'm not sure, but my impression was that they do not like see people develop openwrt etc
<oliv3r>
burn that image to millions of flash chips at the factory, and sell their device
<oliv3r>
if they have to sell unflashed versions, they have to a) badget them seperatly (costs money) b) make sure only the right people buy it etc etc
<oliv3r>
arokux1: of course not, you are doing something with their prodcut that might break it, or brick it and then you come back crying for warranty
<oliv3r>
which costs them money
<arokux1>
oliv3r, and it's not easy to understand what happened to the product?
<oliv3r>
investigation == time
<oliv3r>
time == money
<arokux1>
oliv3r, they need to investigate anyway
<oliv3r>
why?
<oliv3r>
you are doing something unsupported, you should go way, bye bye and good luck
<arokux1>
yes, but if somebody brings the device and says it's not working they check if it was used properly..
<arokux1>
if still sealed and stuff
<arokux1>
the could check if the firmware is still in place, computing some checksum..
<rz2k>
no one does that for a long time
<mripard>
arokux1: it's also a matter of cost and statistics
<mripard>
if the router costs 50$
<mripard>
that checking for the firmware costs 1$
<rz2k>
logitech for example just sends you replacement without many questions asked
<mripard>
and that only 1% of the returned router is actually returned because you flashed a broken firmware
<Turl>
mturquette: as long as you don't get scared by ugly code, sure :P
<mripard>
the vendor has to pay 100$, while it gained 50$
<mripard>
so in the end, he lost 50$
<mripard>
so why doing the check in the first place?
<rz2k>
seagate also sends you replacement hdd's after S/N picture sent and info about whats wrong
<arokux1>
ok, so the 2% that are not in mainstream are just screwed up..
<oliv3r>
you are drifting from your own original point. Why is it not cheaper without software, very small market, software cost is nearly zero, if not zero
<oliv3r>
Why don't they want you to run anything but their firmware, because you messing with it and sending it back costs them money. You not touching it but only 'using' it in the warranty period is good for them
<arokux1>
oliv3r, hm.. could their be an option to refuse to have warranty from the very beginning
<oliv3r>
nope
<mripard>
options cost money.
<arokux1>
oliv3r, if I refuse from warranty they send me a magic key how to load new software
<oliv3r>
jinx mripard
<oliv3r>
arokux1: but how is that an issue
<oliv3r>
99% of the routers can be re-installed with custom roms anyway
<oliv3r>
they don't really protect it most of the time
<mripard>
ah, so your point isn't about hardware without software, it's about you being able to flash a new firmware
<oliv3r>
all you need is a method to flash the firmware, either via serial port or via spi if your really desperate
<mripard>
or JTAG :)
<oliv3r>
or jtag :)
<oliv3r>
besdies, if it's really a big issue
<oliv3r>
they most of the time use u-boot and/or linux; which you can get nearly all ifno for, unless they are GPL infringing scumbags
<oliv3r>
anyway, your point about refusing warranty if they send you amgic key
<oliv3r>
ask how micrsoft will like that
<oliv3r>
i want this windows surface thing, but i want to run linux/android on it, give me the uefi key, i hereby refuse warranty
<oliv3r>
i bet microsoft will give you the key without questions asked! :)
<arokux1>
oliv3r, they still sell hardware :P
<oliv3r>
seriously though, there's actually NL law (european too?) about this kind of behaviour from manucaturers. ROoting a phone, flashing a custom rom on it, is legally allowed and they (samsung etc) are not allowed to deny you warranty
<oliv3r>
arokux1: lol in microsofts case, they don't give a rats ass about the hardware sale; they want world domination
<oliv3r>
so if you run android on their tablet, that makes them very unhappy
<Turl>
slapin_nb: a driver for buttons on boards would be nice too :)

<mripard>
slapin_nb: ok, great then :)
<slapin_nb>
IIRC LRADC is these damn buttons with resistors attached to ADC, which is intended to drive resistive touch screen?
<slapin_nb>
on my last tablet I have single button attached this way...
<mripard>
the touchscreen is handled by a separate IP iirc
<mripard>
LRADC is mostly used for buttons yes
<slapin_nb>
mripard: the capasitive touch is separate chip, not inside processor.
<mripard>
ah, capacitive, probably
<mripard>
but you were mentionning resistive
<slapin_nb>
mripard: LRADC was intended to drive resistive touch IIRC. I currently make device which will need resistive touch and can't find driver for A13 so I could use LRADC as touch screen interface :(
<slapin_nb>
resistive touch is cool for stylus and drawing, capacitive is only for fingers
<slapin_nb>
and people will need to draw sketches
<mripard>
slapin_nb: I'm not sure it has what's needed, like touch-down interrupts and so on
<mripard>
oh, it does

ok. nevermind.

<oliv3r>
slapin_nb: there's a resistive touch screen controler inside the SoC; you can also use it as an ADC otherwise
<oliv3r>
slapin_nb: but mtd work would be completly awesome :)
<oliv3r>
since we lack storage support in mainline atm; and yeah i have some skeleton pwm thing, but i was trying to push sid driver, and working on a31 u-boot which is a bitch i tell you
<oliv3r>
mripard: wish i could push some of these changes somewhere for others to look at :S
<oliv3r>
mripard: i think you did cc the a31 patchset; i saw it pop by
<oliv3r>
hno: check my github; i've split the patch, unless you hint at something else i overlooked
<oliv3r>
arokux: the power button is usually (almost always) connected to the AXP. A long push actually shuts down the AXP, and hence everything else
<oliv3r>
and everybody is gone again :(
<slapin_nb>
oliv3r: tough luck if you have additional PMICs in parallel to AXP (instead of being controlled by it) :)

Turl: libv was a little down yesterday, about to abandom lima n stuffs :( which made me sad and almost cry a little

oliv3r: :/
<arokux>
oliv3r, do you still use emac from uboot-current?
<oliv3r>
arokux: what do you mean?
<arokux>
like for network boot from uboot
<oliv3r>
arokux: first off, if you boot u-boot, u-boot is active 2 seconds before handing over to the kernel, at which point, u-boot seizes to exist
<oliv3r>
arokux: turl does heavy network booting, the PHY on mine is busted
<arokux>
no, the kernel isn't loaded yet, I endup in uboot shell
<oliv3r>
and you can't boot the kernel from u-boot?
<oliv3r>
do you have uart connected?
<arokux>
i can i.e. going to (meaning it is not a problem), but i thought network boot could be more fast for developing and booting the kernel each time, since sd card need not be rewritten
<oliv3r>
arokux: that is true
<oliv3r>
you setup a nfs server (for root fs if you need it)
<oliv3r>
a tftp server
<oliv3r>
then you make a boot.scr or whatever and make u-boot load the kernel via tftp
<oliv3r>
you still need an SD card with u-boot-spl and u-boot on it (and u-boot.scr/env)
<oliv3r>
Turl: is your expert :p
<arokux>
oliv3r, yep, but uboot won't be rewritten.
<libv>
mali-400 will never be opengles3 compatible, it lacks some features for that iirc
<arokux>
oliv3r, question: where can i load kernel? what is free in memory space?
<oliv3r>
arokux: 0x48000000
<oliv3r>
0x43000000 for script.bin
\\Mr_C\\ has quit []
<arokux>
i'm going to load mainline kernel, so no script.bin
<arokux>
after which 0x.. there this an empty and unused ground? :)
<oliv3r>
memory address space starts at 0x40000000
<oliv3r>
before are for registers
<arokux>
ok, that is what I wanted to know :)
<arokux>
its accessible up to 0xFFFFFFFF? :)
<oliv3r>
you can load your kernel at 0x40000000 if you want to
<oliv3r>
if you have that much ram, sure
<oliv3r>
2g is our amx address space :)
<oliv3r>
but i think the a10 ram controller pukes at anything over 1g
<arokux>
amx? :)
<oliv3r>
?
<arokux>
<oliv3r> 2g is our amx address space :)
<mnemoc>
max
<mnemoc>
typos happen often on irc ;-)
<arokux>
but the kernel will be extracted starting at LOADADDR=0x40008000
<arokux>
so one need to be careful so that the space taken by the loaded kernel (with fatload) does not overlap with space after 0x40008000
<arokux>
am i right?
<oliv3r>
mnemoc: yeah especially with my add typing :p
<oliv3r>
mnemoc: also, HI!
<oliv3r>
correct; hence I load my kernel at 0x48000000 :)
<oliv3r>
it looks like 0x40008000 and is far away from it :)
<arokux>
yes, 16*8 MB far from it.
<arokux>
(roughly)
<mnemoc>
oliv3r: hi :)

<mnemoc>
yes, real hw. i7 980, 24GB, 4x1.5TB, 20TB/M

<arokux>
Turl, and you boot to initramfs only? I've used some miniroot from hno, and get kernel panic becase VFS: Cannot open root device "VFS: Cannot open root device ... Please append a correct "root=" boot option..."
<oliv3r>
arokux: yes, you must boot either via initramfs
<oliv3r>
or nfs root
<oliv3r>
there's no storage possibilties yet
<arokux>
oliv3r, yes, I've built initramfs into kernel
<arokux>
wiki page says it should boot to shell prompt...
<oliv3r>
where did you get that initramfs from? :)
<arokux>
why LOADADDR istn't part of the dev. tree, having it as a parameter still results in one kernel per board..
<oliv3r>
it's part of the BSP
<oliv3r>
but only my local branch
<oliv3r>
i should push it actually
<Turl>
arokux: LOADADDR is just used for "mkimage", ie, the uboot wrapping
<arokux>
ah, so it's not inside of kernel, ok

after loading the kernel and dtb into memory with fatload, I boot them with bootm 0x48000000 - 0x49000000, Then nothing comes after "Starting kernel ..."

this is with builtin ramfs
<Turl>
arokux: enable DEBUG_LL, EARLY_PRINTK and the sunxi option on debug_ll
<Turl>
then pass earlyprintk on the boot arguments

if it is not built in i see kernel log with "VFS: Cannot open root device"

earlyprintk is on

then you should see output ;)
<arokux>
oliv3r, I see it if initramfs is not included
<oliv3r>
kernel boots either way, with or without
<oliv3r>
and should output stuff
<arokux>
i see, but with it does not.
<oliv3r>
but without initramfs, you'll get root missing panic :)
<arokux>
yep
<oliv3r>
i extracted the cpio to /usr/src/initramfs
<oliv3r>
because i wanted to modify it a tiny bit
<oliv3r>
and i include that dir in my kernel build
<arokux>
hm.. i include cpio, I've read it's also possible
<oliv3r>
yep
<oliv3r>
you include either a file, or ad irectory
<oliv3r>
the kernel is smart enough to figure out what you've included
<Turl>
arokux: are you passing 'earlyprintk' on kernel params?
<Turl>
oliv3r: I include cpio, it works, it's not that
<arokux>
Turl, yep, this is in dts
<Turl>
arokux: yeah but uboot overrides it
<arokux>
Turl, but it works if without initramfs..
<arokux>
Turl, do you use kernel from mripard ?
<oliv3r>
i don't even pass earlyprintk as para :)
<oliv3r>
arokux: you can even use plain vanilla linus kernel
<oliv3r>
there's support for this stuff tehrer allready
<oliv3r>
your best bet imo
<arokux>
so nobody of you has used mripard 's kernel?
<oliv3r>
probably mripard :p
<oliv3r>
actually mripard pushed my tree to github because i broke mine
<oliv3r>
so technically yes I am
<arokux>
oliv3r, not quite, because yours was 3.10
<arokux>
i have 3..1
<arokux>
3.11
<oliv3r>
ah yes, i haven't pushed my latest stuff to github
<oliv3r>
that one is old :)
<arokux>
anyway, you have adjusted sunxi-bsp, so it uses your kernel?
<arokux>
oliv3r, because by default it will use some ancient stuff
<oliv3r>
yep
<arokux>
Turl, what kernel do you use?
<oliv3r>
we all use our own
<oliv3r>
based on linus's
<arokux>
:)
<arokux>
ok
<oliv3r>
since we write patches against linus's
<oliv3r>
well turl, mripard and I
<oliv3r>
for mainline stuff that is
<oliv3r>
3.4 we use stage
<arokux>
on wiki it was advised to use mripard , however he wrote that page......
utente_ has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<oliv3r>
well that is a safe choice
<arokux>
i'm cloning 3.10 vanilla now, and will see
<oliv3r>
3.11-r2 :p
<oliv3r>
though 3.10 has a10 stuff
<Turl>
arokux: I build my own, as oliv3r says
<arokux>
Turl, how, using sunxi-bsp?
<Turl>
arokux: no, using "make uImage dtbs" :p
<arokux>
and adding path to the cpio in the menuconfig?
<Turl>
yes
notmart has quit [Quit: notmart terminated!]
<arokux>
Turl, I specify full path there, can it be a problem?
<Turl>
nah, I do too
<Turl>
I'd start by enabling debug_ll with sunxi uart0, early printk, and passing earlyprintk from uboot

rellla, ssvb i 4got who of you i tal to me about my problem with audio issue in xbmc. anyway finally i worked on it, and the solution on my sistem is: AUDIO STREAM = DPLII_Q0.4 (2/2) it came out english language from hdmi.. Curiouslym audio autput is set to "analog" but the audio cames out from hdmi. also AUDIO STREMA set to AC3 5.1 vorks (in my own language)
<rellla>
utente: fine
<utente>
aniway sometime came out "squared wite area" all on monitor, but it happens rarely and for few seconds.
<rellla>
you simply don't have to start it. what distribution are you using?
<utente>
debina
<utente>
debia
<utente>
debian!
<utente>
the echo didt give a solution
<utente>
i suppose is enough to comment or disable some scripts... right?
<utente>
hat about to change name to script /etc/init.d/x11-common?
<utente>
nope, graphic start again.. what script i bave to modify to avoid X start automatically?
<rellla>
dont know where xserver is started nor which watchdog is holding it up
<utente>
i see /user/bin/X seems to ve the server. I try to change name to int and restart CB. hold on...
<oliv3r>
Turl: arokux machine ID isn't used with DT anymore, so i think we either ignore it, or it needs something fixed
<arokux>
oliv3r, you cannot ignore it, since it prevents kernel from booting
<Turl>
oliv3r: I know, but there's sth fishy going on on multi_v7_defconfig in .11
<oliv3r>
u-boot-spl is stored in sram-A, so at 0x00000; u-boot after that, is stored in DRAM, probably 0x400000000 I guess
<arokux>
oliv3r, ok, so it's not overwritten or so
<Turl>
ojn: hi, are you aware of any issues with multi_v7_defconfig preventing DT boot on 3.11-rcN?
<ojn>
Turl: for what hardware?
<Turl>
ojn: we're in the sunxi channel, so sunxi :)
utente has quit [Quit: Sto andando via]
<ojn>
it booted fine on the two systems i have setup for automatic testing, a panda and a tegra seaboard. I don't have any sunxi hardware in the board farm yet (will hopefully add the a31 soon)
<ojn>
Turl: mripard is probably a better person to ask. i'm not sure if we have enabled all the right drivers in the multi config for sunxi yet.
<Turl>
ojn: are you booting multi_v7_defconfig with bootm triplet?
<Turl>
ojn: it's not a matter of drivers, but we're getting things like "Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID (r1 = 0x00001008)
<Turl>
If I disable all of the other nonsunxi platforms it works fine
<oliv3r>
we're not supposed to use machine types with mainline anymore
<Turl>
ojn: let me get a boot log, sec
<ojn>
(I've ordered a cubieboard 1 to add to the boot farm, but it hasn't arrived yet -- the cubieboard 2 isn't supported in mainline yet so i haven't added it in)
<ojn>
0x102e? That's not the same as you said above
<ojn>
Oh!
<Turl>
ojn: well, I copied the error from arokux :) I'm using a different sunxi
<ojn>
I wonder if nothing matched the compatible field, and thus didn't boot. That looks like it's for A13 hardware, and I don't think there's mainline support for it yet?
<Turl>
ojn: the other interesting bit is that if I don't embed initramfs on the kernel, it works
<ojn>
how big is the initramfs?
<Turl>
(of course it explodes right after booting because there's no root, but that's another story)
<Turl>
4.7M cpio
<Turl>
and I chose LZO in menuconfig
fredy has quit [Excess Flood]
<ojn>
ok, no that large then. try using a different address for the device tree?
fredy has joined #linux-sunxi
<arokux>
Turl, which uboot do u use, there is no such CONFIG_MACH_TYPE in uboot-next
<arokux>
ojn, I've tried with different addresses
<Turl>
ojn: I don't think it's the addresses, they're quite separated and they've been working fine for quite a while
<utente>
rellla, ok, i disabled X, reboot and start xbmc. video is more fluid, from remote ssh i see xbmc dont use more than 15% of cpu. sometime still pink/white bug. audio is ok. now i will it run for all the movie, to see if there is some block like before.
\\Mr_C\\ has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<arokux>
Turl, so it got stuck?
<Turl>
arokux: yes
<arokux>
Turl, haven't you added earlyprintk?
<Turl>
arokux: yes :)
<rellla>
utente: which xbmc do you use? and are you using libhybris?
<rellla>
*xbmc commit
<oliv3r>
arokux: i use github.com/oliv3r/u-boot/wip/a20 :)
<oliv3r>
well that url sorta :p
<utente>
rellla, im using the fixblue2
<utente>
rellla, im not yusing libhybris.
<rellla>
utente: do it!
<rellla>
artefact bugs should be solved with some avc1 files
<arokux>
Turl, weird.. it seems to me that its kernels fault
<utente>
rellla, ok, but fist i prefere to leave run all movie... i use it ase test, but never seen it tille end :)
<utente>
and is a goot test to see stabolity of xbmc
<arokux>
Turl, you see: if mdesc is NULL it falls through here
<mripard>
arokux: I have that in my configuration as well
<arokux>
mripard, Turl: update, mripard's config works for me
<Turl>
mripard: it isn't the appended dtb option :(
<mripard>
Turl: damn :(
<mripard>
Turl: and I do have the same problem.
<arokux>
mripard, with default config?
<mripard>
yep.
<mripard>
and current master
<mripard>
but why the passed machine id is not the DT one
<arokux>
mripard, :)
<mripard>
and most surpringly, why is it the *right* one if we were not using DT
<arokux>
mripard, can I explain findings once again?
<mripard>
yep, go ahead
<arokux>
setup_machine_fdt gets NULL
<arokux>
thats why it returns NULL in row 197
<arokux>
arch/arm/kernel/devtree.c
<arokux>
arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:858
<Turl>
mripard: I think some early assembler is clobbering them
<Turl>
mripard: disable CONFIG_SMP and try to boot
<arokux>
mdesc is now NULL so setup_machine_tags is called
<arokux>
but it's not supposed to be called, I think
<mripard>
Turl: CONFIG_SMP is enabled on both multi_v7 and my config file
<mripard>
arokux: yep, your analysis looks right
<Turl>
mripard: yeah but your config doesn'thave all the machines
<Turl>
so a smp .S for, say, tegra or whatever might be clobbering stuff. It's a long shot theory though :)
<mripard>
it has already two of them, and picks the right one.
<mripard>
ah, yes, maybe
<mripard>
it's quite late here, I'm going to bed
<arokux>
mripard, __atags_pointer is NULL, but this is wrong. this is 100%
<arokux>
so why it's NULL if initramfs is there...?
<mripard>
let me know if you find something
<Turl>
mripard: I will
<arokux>
Turl, what assembly do you mean?
\\Mr_C\\ has joined #linux-sunxi
<arokux>
Turl, it seems atags_pointer is set in arch/arm/kernel/head-common.S
<Turl>
ojn: totally unrelated, but it caught my eye when turning off SMP http://sprunge.us/PRDM
<ojn>
turl: thanks, easy fix
<arokux>
Turl, any ideas how to proceed?
<mturquette>
Turl: ping
<mturquette>
Turl: so I think that your code needs to be made into a device driver
<mturquette>
Turl: and then it can have a nice DT node to fetch clocks from
<Turl>
mturquette: but it'd be abusing DT then, wouldn't it?
<Turl>
because "PM" is not a thing in itself
<mturquette>
Turl: there has been some discussion about having a miscellaneous /drivers/syscon for handling SoC-level PM and integration needs
<mturquette>
not just PM, but the rest of the chip glue that doesn't fit easily into existing driver classes
<Turl>
mturquette: was this discussion on a list?
<Turl>
mturquette: apart from that, I also wanted to ask you about cpufreq, what would be the best way to approach it when you need to manage multiple clocks?
<slapin_nb>
AYIIIIEEEEEE!!!! it seems my u-boot patch was applied (and broke lots of things, which were then fixed) so we have good working MTD (which might be slightly updated up to taste)
* slapin_nb
pushes his table with his head
<Turl>
slapin_nb: upstream?
<Turl>
congrats :)
<arokux>
slapin_nb, is this for sunXi NAND?
<rz2k>
slapin_nb: would be nice to see your linux/u-boot trees with your patches for MTD
<slapin_nb>
Turl: yes, upstream
<slapin_nb>
rz2k, arokux: it was important update of u-boot's MTD system to support current large NANDs, so yes, it is important for sunXi.
<slapin_nb>
rz2k: as for my patches, it is all messy now. github/slapin/uboot-allwinner, but I can't prevent your disappointment - it is yours now.
