It was interesting, that we turn out to be almost the only folks using an upstream kernel. I talked with some TI folks about how to get better upstream-only testing with configs like Fedora. Let's followup on that. This might be a config issue, but hopefully we can get some others to help test configs and find this kind of thing more quickly. >> * Might be more similar issues around other SoCs that lack support in >> upstream kernel. > > The SoC's we support (omap, tegra, imx, kirkwood, highbank and > vexpress) all work fine with a few minor patches to fix build issues > and bugs. Most of the patches are just a few lines. Indeed. But the point is still there. Lots of other folks are using non-upstream trees as their source, which is a difference, and so we wanted to convey that Fedora is taking a different (and I think ultimately the right one, but I'm biased) approach.
