Hi,
after Nicolas' announcement of linaro-2.6.39 [1] I had a look to the bsp/freescale/linux-linaro-natty.git lt-2.6.38 kernel [2] what has to be done to port that to 2.6.39.
Looking at that lt-2.6.38 branch, I exported 184 patches [3] which seem to be specific for this lt kernel (?).
Then, I rebase them to Nicolas' linaro-2.6.39 using quilt. See the attached quilt series file for which patches were used and which were dropped (because they seem to be already in 2.6.39 mainline).
The result does compile with the imx5_defconfig. I've done no boot tests, yet. So this is only compile tested.
The resulting quilt patch series is ~2,5MB bz2 compressed. I don't want to send it to the mailing list. I will send it as a reply to this mail to Eric and Nicolas. Let me know if you are interested in it, too (or where to put it so that everybody can access it).
Note: I couldn't figure how to put binary firmware files into a patch. This does mean that the patch series misses the firmware/imx/sdma/ files. You have to download them from [4] and put them manually to firmware/imx/sdma/ to be able to compile imx5_defconfig successfully.
Opinions?
Best regards
Dirk
