Hi,

Toradex is currently working on integrating the new NXP
release
'L5.4.24_2.1.0'. For this we created a new kernel branch
'5.4-
2.1.x-
imx'
based on NXP's kernel 'imx_5.4.24_2.1.0'.
We already merged patches from stable linux 5.4.47 into
'5.4-
2.1.x-
imx'.
This is great news! I was half the way of working on the same
update,
but now since you have the merge done - I can take your
version
instead.

@Otavio: I sincerely ask you if you could place the branch
'5.4-
2.1.x-
imx' that resides currently in my private github account:

https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fphilschenker%2Flinux-fslc%2Ftree%2F5.4-2.1.x-imx&;data=01%7C01%7Cphilippe.schenker%40toradex.com%7C1b2edaea486b43f0d2bf08d83d1a29be%7Cd99958660d9b42518315093f062abab4%7C0&amp;sdata=BZDTVKY%2BQJDwIgsBjAeRshdTw2i7Ksh0RjGtw92ZZHw%3D&amp;reserved=0
I'll grab this one to test on i.MX8M Mini EVK now and try it
out.
I've tried to build the branch from your repo with latest master
of
meta-freescale, and saw couple of issue with imx8mmevk machine:

1. imx-gpu-sdk recipe fails to build, as it requires the header
which
is most probably missing in the kernel:
make: *** No rule to make target
'/development/projects/master/build-output/work/cortexa53-crypto-
mx8mm-fsl-linux/imx-gpu-sdk/5.0.2-r0/recipe-
sysroot/usr/include/bits/sys_errlist.h',
needed by
'build/Yocto/obj/Release/source/FslBase/Bits/ByteArrayUtil.o'.
Stop.
I guess any user-space stuff need updating to versions that NXP
provides
with BSP 'L5.4.24_2.1.0'.

OE-core updated glibc which is the provider of 'sys_errlist.h' so
maybe
that is the reason for build failure?
Correct! My bad: I did a pull of OE-Core and then your Kernel branch,
which I should not have been doing in the first place. This issue is
not from Kernel, it is a pure glibc one. Thanks for pointing it out!

2. Kernel panics on the startup, there is something related to FEC

Thanks for pointing this out, I could reproduce the issue and
checked.
There were still two commits missing. One revert that we believe is
not
applicable to downstream fec_main.c
This one also solved the issue. The other IPU commit was also
missing.
Now it works on our side. Can you confirm?
Yeap, Kernel build off commit 1e10771673463a332a7e477fcba0b9488ec5362b
boots fine on i.MX8M Mini EVK. I haven't verified whether graphics and
multimedia are OK, but in general at this state this merge is
absolutely fine!

I believe you can make a PR in https://github.com/Freescale/linux-fslc
for Otavio to have a look at it.
Thanks Andrey for testing!
I guess Otavio needs to pull it from my branch, I'm not able to create a
new branch as PR.

Have you ported the patch [1] from upstream? Without it - the
latest
master build would fail (it is needed for binutils-2.35).
Hi Andrey,

We were building binutils-2.34 so didn't notice this issue. I've
cherry-
picked the patch you mentioned.
That's great, I've synced up the tree to your latest commit and
the
perf build build went through.
