Re: [PATCH v3 2/5] arm64: dts: sophgo: add initial Milk-V Duo S board support

[Michael Opdenacker <michael.opdenacker@rootcommit.com>]

Hi Joshua

Many thanks for this update! I'd love to have this board supported in 
mainline, and when this happens, I'll add it to Yocto's meta-riscv layer 
to make it easy to use.

I managed to boot the board and run tests:

Tested successfully:

  * uart0: boot console
  * mmc0 (sdhci0?): root filesystem

Issues

  *

    eth0:

    ifconfig eth0 172.24.0.2
    [ 48.893725] stmmaceth 4070000.ethernet eth0: Register
    MEM_TYPE_PAGE_POOL RxQ-0
    [ 48.903077] stmmaceth 4070000.ethernet eth0: cannot attach to PHY
    (error: -ENODEV)
    ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device

    I believe I have all drivers enabled though...

  * emmc:

    [ 2.730194] mmc2: Failed to initialize a non-removable card
    [ 2.764843] mmc1: Failed to initialize a non-removable card

    I tested with a board that has an eMMC

  * i2c4: detected by "i2cdetect -l"
    but no devices found by "i2cdetect -r 4"
    I tried both pins 3/4 and pins 50/48, with two different devices
    connected to the bus.
    Which pins did you use? I could check the SoC pin muxing, but your
    answer will save me time :D

Would you mind sharing your defconfig file ("make savedefconfig") via a 
private message or through a link (to avoid sending the entire file to 
the list)?
Thanks again
Cheers
Michael.
