upstream tracking

[kasperk81]

is there a sheet or page where bianbu kernel patches are tracked?

e.g. starfive guys had this sheet for tracking JH7110 https://rvspace.org/en/project/JH7110_Upstream_Plan

eventually, we would like to try other distros on spacemit hardware.

There is https://github.com/spacemit-com/linux/wiki by @dlan17 and co.
I think they are making good progress..

thanks @yaneti!

@dlan17, great wiki! are there any pending patches for uboot / opensbi to be upstreamed? if so, please include it to the wiki so we can track.

based on https://gitee.com/bianbu-linux/opensbi/issues/IBQR9H?from=project-issue there are atleast some for opensbi, here is the delta riscv-software-src/opensbi@master...cyyself:opensbi:k1-opensbi

@cyyself are you or someone else planning to upstream these patches to opensbi?

This tree contains some malicious drivers and hacks. Upstreaming these patches may not be easy.

I would appreciate it if someone could follow my tree clean these patches and submit them to the upstream.

@cyyself thanks. the link in my top post has list like this

maybe first we can rebase your branch and group the patches in those categories, then submit them to mailing list (or pull request). during the review the details will be sorted out. at least some of the patches will make it in a first few iterations then we will be left with a handful of tough problems that will require help from others. the sooner we start this process, the better our chances of saving ourselves from a merge conflict. right now, your branch has no conflicts.

Malicious ?

@kevin-zhm, I noticed that VPU and ISP were recently removed from the Phase 3 tracking list. Just wondering, was this due to technical blockers, deprioritization, or something else? Would be great to understand if they’re deferred or dropped entirely. Thanks!
