It looks like this will be rendered unnecessary by upcoming changes to the DRM core: http://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg143831.html
The patch will still be needed for kernels that have already been released. I will proceed with this process. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698700 Title: hibmc driver does not include "pci:" prefix in bus ID Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: On the HiSilicon D05 (arm64) board, X crashes when started. [0] The crash is attributable to the bus ID that the hibmc driver reports for the hibmc graphics card on the board. In particular, the bus id is missing the "pci:" prefix that most other cards provide: [1] - The busid reported on the arm64 system is "0007:a1:00.0" - The busid reported on a amd64 system is "pci:0000:00:02.0" X tests for this prefix. A missing prefix for PCI cards leads to an Xorg crash. A patch is attached, which prevents the crash. [2][3] I submitted the patch upstream. However, upstream is refactoring the drm core, and set_busid is going away, so I'm working on testing if this will be necessary once that lands. [4] This bug exists to help keep track of the status of this fix across upstream and then into our kernels.
