The problem of patches no longer applying happens with other platforms as well sometimes. Once we have kernel 4.19 support and 19.01 has been branched, I would like to introduce a new target bcm283x and phase out brcm2708. The idea is to use a vanilla kernel with as little patches as possible, and boot with vanilla u-boot. But to support the target at all in 19.01, which will use kernel 4.14, I would like to push this to master, and preferably sooner rather than later. > > Thanks > Alex > > On Sun, Nov 11, 2018 at 6:37 PM Stijn Tintel <st...@linux-ipv6.be> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I have just pushed support for the 4.14 kernel on the brcm2708 target to >> my staging tree [1], and would like to get some feedback before pushing >> it to master.
