Re: new binutils needed for arm in 3.12-rc1

2013-09-28 Thread Pavel Machek
Hi!

 Given you're not upgrading your binutils anymore that means
 you'll have to apply that patch only once instead of having to
 apply it
 to every kernel upgrade.
 
 Indeed. Patching my own toolchain isn't really a problem. My
 objection was to the Documentation patch telling the world at large
 that for all targets, older binutils aren't supported even on x86.
 That was worth pushing back against.
 
 I don't indend to use old gcc/binutils versions forever, I just want
 to be able to use them until I can replace them with llvm or
 similar.

So, what is the proposal? Just ignore the problem and make people
wonder why their arm kernels are not compiling?
Pavel

 Some of us can't ship GPLv3 binaries and are looking forward to the day LLVM

 Sorry, I didn't have a coffee yet, but which subtility am I missing
 that prohibits
 you from shipping GPLv3 binaries?

/me had coffee but still doesn't get why you can't ship GPLv3 binaries.
Rob, can you please enlighten us?

 Added a generic PHY framework that provides a set of APIs for the PHY drivers
 to create/destroy a PHY and APIs for the PHY users to obtain a reference to
 the PHY with or without using phandle.

 This framework will be of use only to devices that uses external PHY (PHY
 functionality is not embedded within the controller).

 The intention of creating this framework is to bring the phy drivers spread
 all over the Linux kernel to drivers/phy to increase code re-use and to
 increase code maintainability.

 Comments to make PHY as bus wasn't done because PHY devices can be part of
 other bus and making a same device attached to multiple bus leads to bad
 design.

 If the PHY driver has to send notification on connect/disconnect, the PHY
 driver should make use of the extcon framework. Using this susbsystem
 to use extcon framwork will have to be analysed.

 You can find this patch series @
 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kishon/linux-phy.git testing

 I'll create a new branch *next* once this patch series is finalized. All the
 PHY driver development that depends on PHY framework can be based on this
 branch.

 Did USB enumeration testing in panda and beagle after applying [1] (needed 
 for
 non-dt)
 
 All now applied to my usb-next branch.  Thanks for redoing this many
 times and sticking with it.

Thanks :-)
