[meta-fsl-ppc][PATCH] linux-qoriq: Remove Altivec from T1040 64-bit defconfig

[meta-fsl-ppc][PATCH] linux-qoriq: Remove Altivec from T1040 64-bit defconfig

[Bob Cochran]

T1040 uses an E5500 processor, and E5500 doesn't have an Altivec unit

[Bob Cochran]

Note that I didn't address patching the meta-fsl-ppc metadata (e.g., 
adding patch to SRC_URI) since there is a meta-data patch from Zongchun 
still pending regarding the support of scc files.

Unless I am directed otherwise, I'll just keep sending up the kernel 
patches by themselves.

[zhenhua.luo]

Bob, 

Since the kernel fragment patch is still under discussion.

Please submit patch to append the kernel patch in kernel bb file. 


Best Regards,

Zhenhua

Thank you Zhenhua.  I will.   I also have at least two more patches 
coming in the FMAN integration area (still testing).  I'll try to wrap 
them up (suitable for review) by the weekend.

Zhenhua and Otavio,

Please guide me on how I should submit multiple kernel patches for 
linux-qoriq that also require multiple SRC_URI line additions to the 
same linux-qoriq_3.12.bb file in the meta-fsl-ppc layer.

I have a few different kernel patches that I want to submit related to 
the T1040 (e.g., remove Altivec flag).  I'm ready to send a few now, and 
I expect to have one or two each week going forward.

Each patch addresses one problem and is self contained in its own kernel 
.patch file.

Should I send these as one email that contains multiple kernel patches 
plus a single patch to linux-qoriq_3.12.bb to include the SRC_URI 
additions?

Or maybe I should send each kernel patch out separately in its own email 
(like I have already done), wait for comments, and then combine them 
into one email patch submission that then bundles the 
linux-qoriq_3.12.bb patch.

Please let me know what you would like to see.

Thanks

Bob

This is my opinion, so wait Zhenhua to comment on this as well...

I think it is better to:

* Have one commit for each patch which detailed explain the issue and
includes the:

  . kernel patch file (with Upstream-Status: Pending)
  . modification for .bb to include it

Thanks for the reply Otavio.

So if I want to send multiple patches (each patch is a separate email 
that includes both the kernel patch & a patch for linux-qoriq_3.12.bb), 
then each patch of linux-qoriq_3.12.bb will depend on any of my 
previously submitted patches, right?

In other words, the SRC_URI in the linux-qoriq_3.12.bb patch will show 
my prior kernel patch submissions regardless of whether they have been 
merged / approved.

Example: (assume that "configure-T1040-for-FMAN-3VL.patch" was 
previously submitted but not yet approved / merged) -


...
 
file://Fix-CVE-2014-5077-sctp-inherit-auth-capable-on-INIT-collisions.patch

     file://configure-T1040-for-FMAN-V3L.patch   \
     +file://remove-Altivec-from-T1040-64-bit-defconfig.patch \

[zhenhua.luo]

Bob, 

I agree with Otavio's suggestion.

Thank you Otavio and Zhenhua.  Look for two patch resends today or 
tomorrow for what I already sent up but didn't include the linux-qoriq 
recipe patch.

I'm sure you'll let me know if it's not what you're expecting.

If they're acceptable, then I'll start submitting new patches.

Bob
