Title: kernel patches? to Vanilla
Post by: DiTBho on February 25, 2025, 08:22:07 am

hi
I am in the process of resurrecting my old Gentoo Catalyst arm-v5.
Zaurus is one of the two targets.
I'd like to write some overlays for emerging the kernel, in this case I'd like to use a Vanilla kernel + patches.

Is there a repo with the patches, or do I have to extract them by comparing a "modified/hacked" kernel with a "vanilla" kernel?

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/commit/85ecb614101fe05b8141c0e4975be2d58e13642d does have the last patch set.

Yes, the latest voidz package is 5.4.229. I can upload a build if needed, still working on a new voidz rootfs with new kernel.

There is binary package for 5.3.221 here https://github.com/greguu/voidz-packages/releases/download/build-008/zaurus-5.4.221_1.tar.gz

as far as I observe, the patches are only about GPIO.
Right?

Code: [Select]

        1. 7 Kbyte patch_from_void/01-fix-pxa27x-udc.patch
        3. 8 Kbyte patch_from_void/01_revert_mmc_slot-gpio.patch
        2. 8 Kbyte patch_from_void/02_revert_mmc_spitz_pxamci.patch
        1. 6 Kbyte patch_from_void/03_revert_mmc_pxamci_platform.patch
      295. 0  byte patch_from_void/04_revert_mmc_pxa_platform.patch
        2. 3 Kbyte patch_from_void/05_revert_mmc_pxa_gpio_desc.patch
      759. 0  byte patch_from_void/06_revert_mmc_pxa_gpio_desc.patch
        3. 7 Kbyte patch_from_void/07_revert_mmc_spi_gpio_desc.patch
        3. 8 Kbyte patch_from_void/08_revert_pcmcia_cpufreq.patch
      342. 0  byte patch_from_void/09_usb_power.patch
        1. 1 Kbyte patch_from_void/10_sandisk-cf.patch

MMC reverts are related to the SD card support (this is GPIO driven)
the others are supporting a certain CF card
fixing OTG support
bumping power budget on USB

so no, not only about GPIO
