I've just added a merge request for this:

  https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/merge_requests/209

I'll add another MR for the "sid" branch in a moment.

Bug#944546: linux-source: Require build and include Hisilicon Hibmc drm driver in the installer

2019-11-11 Thread She Kairui
Package: linux-source
Version: 4.19.0-6
Severity: important

I'm trying to install Debian buster on to the Huawei Kunpeng arm64 server,
found that the installation graphic output not show up via the server BMC
virtual console.

Huawei Kunpeng arm64 server using a hibmc chip on the mainboard, the lspci
output of the VGA device is:

  ~$ lspci -nn | grep VGA
  05:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
Hi1710 [iBMC Intelligent Management system chip w/VGA support] [19e5:1711]
(rev 01)

Currently the kernel VGA driver module (hibmc_drm.ko) was not included in
the netboot initrd (
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-arm64/20190702+deb10u1/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz)
.

I have verified the BMC virtual console graphic output works well after
adding the hibmc_drm.ko into the netboot initrd, could you please help to
built and include this driver module in the installer?
Thanks
