[PATCH 0/5] ARM: Initial devicetree for Kobo Aura

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series adds a devicetree for the i.MX507-based Kobo Aura e-book
reader, and fixes a few things in imx50.dtsi along the way.

A lot of functionality is still missing:
- poweroff/reboot, RTC, and battery monitoring support, as well as a PWM
  channel for the display backlight are provided by a custom embedded
  controller, which will be supported by a future patchset.
  The EC driver will also tell the EC to keep the board powered on;
  otherwise the EC will power the board off after about ten seconds
  (presumably to avoid battery drain if the OS is missing or corrupted)
- The touchscreen controller, eKTF2132, currently doesn't have a
  mainline driver.
- The e-paper display controller (EPDC) embedded in the i.MX50 SoC will
  need a whole new DRM driver, devicetree bindings, etc.
- The TPS65185 PMIC, which generates the voltages necessary for driving
  the E Ink panel, also needs a driver
- The backlight doesn't quite fit the existing pwm-backlight DT binding,
  because it uses an additional GPIO to boost the brightness. This
  requires some devicetree work
- Linux doesn't currently support suspend-to-ram on i.MX50

In order to keep the system running when CONFIG_PM is enabled, the
following fix is also required:
