Package: linux-image-rpi Version: 6.9.7-1~bpo12+1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Debian rpi kernel has missing IR support in because it has not set CONFIG_IR_GPIO_CIR and CONFIG_IR_GPIO_TX. Every user who needs IR support has to recompile kernel from source. Can we enable GPIO support by default? In rpi kernel source (https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-6.10.y) can be found dts files for booth modules required to enable IR. Here is an example how config.txt should be changed: dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=14 dtoverlay=gpio-ir-tx,gpio_pin=15 According to ./arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/README gpio-ir is an gpio_ir_recv module. Kernel config should be also adjusted to enable those modules: CONFIG_IR_GPIO_CIR=m CONFIG_IR_GPIO_TX=m -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: armel (armv6l) Kernel: Linux 6.9.7+bpo-rpi (UP) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_CRAP Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages linux-image-rpi depends on: ii linux-image-6.9.7+bpo-rpi 6.9.7-1~bpo12+1 linux-image-rpi recommends no packages. linux-image-rpi suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
