Hi All, As you probably know in my spare time I'm working on Linux Allwinner SoC support. We (the linux-sunxi community) are currently making good progress on getting Allwinner SoCs supported in the upstream kernel. It looks like the majority of it will land in 3.14 and 3.15. As such I believe the time has come to start supporting Allwinner SoCs with the official Fedora kernels ootb for F-21. I've written a Feature page for this, which you can find here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AllwinnerSunxiSupport This will likely require carrying some kernel patches for 1-2 kernel releases, until all the necessary bits for headless operation have landed upstream. As always I'm willing to put my time were my work is, and I'll maintain these patches for as long as necessary. To give you an idea of where things are going, here is a break down of the tree I'm currently using for testing and development, see: https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi/commits/sunxi-devel This branch contains 3.13-rc5 + the following, which should all go upstream for 3.14: https://github.com/mripard/linux/commits/sunxi-clk-for-3.13 https://github.com/mripard/linux/commits/sunxi-drivers-for-3.14 https://github.com/mripard/linux/commits/sunxi-core-for-3.14 https://github.com/mripard/linux/commits/sunxi-dt-for-3.14 sunxi-bits of: https://git.linaro.org/people/daniel.lezcano/linux.git/shortlog/refs/heads/clockevents/next Emilio's "[PATCH v3 00/13] clk: sunxi: add PLL5 and PLL6 support" series + the following which is not quite ready for 3.14 yet, but people are working hard to get it ready so hopefully we will see some of it in 3.14, and the rest should make 3.15: Emilio's sunxi-clk branch: patches not part of the above set David's and mine sunxi-mmc work Chen's gmac work Oliver's ahci work Arokux' ehci work mripard's "ARM: sunxi: Add A31 High Speed Timer Support" series wens' "v2 of A20 external output clock support patch series" hansg's resistive touchscreen controller driver (rtp) including temp sensor support Of the above list, we should at a minimum carry the mmc, gmac (gigabit nic) and ahci patches if those don't get upstream in time. USB support would also be very nice, but is not a must have. The last 3 patch-sets we don't need.
