Automated DT boot report for various ARM defconfigs.
Tree/Branch: queue Git describe: v3.11.4-84-ga598a2b Failed boot tests (console logs at the end) =========================================== armada-370-mirabox: FAIL: multi_v7_defconfig armada-xp-openblocks-ax3-4: FAIL: multi_v7_defconfig
For those keeping track, these mvebu failures are because multi_v7_defconfig does not currently enable CONFIG_ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT, which is needed for u-boot to be able to pass an initramfs.
There is a patch submitted to stable to address this: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-October/202759.ht...
Hang on a moment. If your test setup requires certain kernel options, you really should force those kernel options to appropriate values rather than relying on the defconfigs to conform to your own test infrastructure.
I agree in general.
In this particular case though, the patch submitted is to ensuring an existing fix that is already in mainline is also in stable.
