Hi, We really need all the 96boards to be fully supported in the upstream Linux kernel, not vendor trees. I appreciate that it takes a lot of effort to get code upstream,
We are on it. You should see more in v4.4, v4.5. for HiKey/Hi6220 SoC.
but the benefit is that *all* the interested distros (i.e. the ones we may not be working with directly) can then more easily support the boards once they are in the kernel. Also, the stability and performance of the board can improve due to wider peer review of the code and the effective lifetime of the board can be increased as potentially breaking code changes can be spotted in tree.
I have been unable to do any meaningful work with my Hikey board because I haven't been able to work with a mainline kernel on it. Hopefully this will soon improve.
We have a hikey mainline branch now. It based on v4.3, plus several topics which are not accepted yet.
https://github.com/96boards/linux/tree/hikey-mainline-rebase
This is a rebase tree, with tracking mainline as its target.
And yes, you reminded me that I should send emails to this list when I got new features in hikey-mainline-rebase.
