Right now all brcm2708 patches are extracted from the non-mainline
raspberrypi/linux git tree. Many of them are hacks and/or are unneeded
in LEDE. Raspberry Pi is getting better and better mainline support so
it would be nice to finally start maintaining patches in a cleaner
way:
1) Backport patches accepted in upstream tree
2) Start using upstream drivers
3) Pick only these patches that are needed for more complete support
Handling above tasks requires grouping patches - ideally using the
same
prefixes as generic ones. It means we should rename existing patches
to
use some high prefix. This will allow e.g. use 0xx for backported
code.
I agree with the split, but could you please use a number much lower
than 999? ;)
I'd like to have "access" to all standard prefixes:
0xx - upstream backports
1xx - code awaiting upstream merge
2xx - kernel build / config / header patches
3xx - architecture specific patches
4xx - mtd related patches (subsystem and drivers)
5xx - filesystem related patches
6xx - generic network patches
7xx - network / phy driver patches
8xx - other drivers
9xx - uncategorized other patches
and have these patches applied on top of everything else.
Would something like 950 be a better choice?
