09:15 <CounterPillow> mmind00: for https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rockchip/20250425-rk3576-tsadc-upstream-v5-0-0c840b99c30e@collabora.com/ is there anything you'd want in a V6 once 6.16-rc1 is out, or should I resend V5 if it still applies by then? No rush about reviews right now because it's way too late for this cycle anyway, but I thought I'd poke you about it early so it doesn't slip through the cracks next cycle :)

09:19 <mmind00> CounterPillow: I should probably give that series a spin on my rk3576 :-) ... other than that looks great and all ... if you're updating/resending, one option would be to split the rk3576-hwsupport and the trim parts ... all the patches are already split along those lines

09:19 <mmind00> CounterPillow: i.e. for subsystem maintainers (that don't know the soc in depth) it is often harder to discern if it makes sense to apply parts of a series

09:20 <mmind00> CounterPillow: especially as the rk3576 hw-support itself is so nicely minimal

11:26 <CounterPillow> Yeah but if I split it into two patch series that'll just be the base one which will give us sensor readings that are off by a couple degrees, and then another one that depends on the base one, and I'm not sure this will help it get any review/merge. The spicy part imho is the trim bindings, which have robh's R-b already. Basically I don't want it to look like the series is still undergoing changes that it needs because if anything

11:26 <CounterPillow> that'll delay review+merge even further, because it looks like it hasn't "settled down" yet.

11:39 <mmind00> CounterPillow: also a fair point

15:08 <diederik> Is the rk3576 TRM publicly available?

15:49 <CounterPillow> not that I'm aware of, no

15:59 <diederik> ok, thanks for the info

20:55 <diederik> CounterPillow: Does https://plebian.org/running/dt-overlays/ describe how to apply overlays with the upstream kernel? Or is that Plebian specific?

21:06 <CounterPillow> diederik: I don't know what developments happened in the kernel wrt DT overlays since then, but that explains how to apply them by having mainline u-boot apply them to the DT it passes to Linux

21:07 <diederik> ok, cool. Thanks :-)

21:30 <mmind00> I think runtime-application of overlays is not inside the kernel

21:32 <mmind00> though geert does seem to spin those patches forward for each release: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geert/renesas-drivers.git/refs/heads ... topic/overlays and topic/overlay-v6.???

21:33 <mmind00> But having u-boot apply overlays definitly is the safer method ... either from extlinux, or you can also add everything (kernel, dtb, dtbo's) into a FIT image for u-boot to load

21:36 <CounterPillow> alright, so I guess the only change kernel wise is that overlays now are included in the repo in an overlays subdirectory

21:37 <diederik> I noticed errors wrt Rock 5B regarding mmc2 (M.2 E-key) ... probably because its empty. So I guess it could/should be moved into an overlay, but then I need a way to test it with an overlay (and then I should see the error again)
