The current v0.118 (yes, it does be packaged as v0.118) I got from unstable archive doesn’t contain the patch that handles with the ‘regulator, clk, phy and pinctrl’ modules, while the git tree has already had it. I rebuilt the initramfs-tools directly from the git. And it works on OMAP5432 uEVM. Baozi
