But yes: I hope to get this merged in time for 4.17. If simplefb is a problem for that, I'd rather drop it then postpone the entire series. Thanks for testing, Harald

Thanks for the patches w/ defconfig could reach to prompt via serial console using audio jack. And just by enabling PWM_SUN4I & FB_SIMPLE, laptop could function standalone as well. Suggestions (feel free to ignore): 1. seems currently only review comment pending is on simple framebuffer, perhaps you can proceed removing just that so that a basic bootable system can be achieved at the earliest (iiuc, anyway drm would be the final solution for display) 2. in next revision (if), may be you can put keywords DIY and/or Open Hardware (irrespective of whatever exactly that means) Laptop in the subject itself, that might bring more interest/eyeballs, especially at this time of ME & so on.
