Many thanks for distilling this! Using this on the SalvatorX, we get the latest kernel with the latest drivers. On the other hand, there is https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/horms/renesas-bsp.git/log/?h=v4.2/rcar-3.0.x which is on an older kernel using older driver versions. But, it seems to me that compared to renesas-drivers-2015-12-01-v4.4-rc3 it has some additional drivers / functionality. I wonder if we want to try to combine both to get something like the "latest and greatest" for the SalvatorX? I.e. take renesas-drivers-2015-12-01-v4.4-rc3 and extend it by the additional functionality from v4.2/rcar-3.0.x. To illustrate what I'm talking about I cherry picked some low hanging fruits from v4.2/rcar-3.0.x and put them on renesas-drivers-2015-12-01-v4.4-rc3: https://github.com/dirkbehme/linux-renesas-rcar-gen3/commits/dirk/gen3-latest-update The idea is to extend this step by step by additional parts of v4.2/rcar-3.0.x. What do you think? Maybe the first step would be to identify the parts from v4.2/rcar-3.0.x not yet in renesas-drivers-2015-12-01-v4.4-rc3. Having a quick look based on the defconfigs results in * more/extended USB functionality? * SATA? * I2C / ADV7482? * media / camera? * DRM / framebuffer / HDMI? * eMMC ? * ...? Best regards Dirk
