Hello, I've been holding on to these devices dts' for a while now. But ever since the recent purge of the PPC405, I'm feeling the urge to move forward. The devices in question have been running with OpenWrt since around 2016/2017. Back then it was linux v4.4 and required many out-of-tree patches (for WIFI, SATA, CRYPTO...), that since have been integrated. So, there's nothing else in the way I think. Now, I've looked around in the arch/powerpc for recent .dts and device submissions to get an understanding of what is required. >From the looks of it, it seems like every device gets a skeleton defconfig and a CONFIG_$DEVICE symbol (Like: CONFIG_MERAKI_MR24, CONFIG_WD_MYBOOKLIVE). Will this be the case? Or would it make sense to further unite the Bluestone, MR24 and MBL under a common CONFIG_APM82181 and integrate the BLUESTONE device's defconfig into it as well? (I've stumbled accross the special machine compatible handling of ppc in the Documentation/devicetree/usage-model.rst already.) Cheers, Christian Note: If someone has a WD MyBook Live (DUO) and is interested in giving it a spin with 5.8. I've made a: "build your own Debian System" sort of script that can be found on github: <https://github.com/chunkeey/mbl-debian> (the only remaining patch hack is for debian's make-kpkg crossbuild) Furthermore, the OpenWrt project currently has images for the following apm82181 devices: Cisco Meraki MX60(W) - Needs DSA for the AR8327 Netgear WNDAP620/WNDAP660 - (Could be next) Netgear WNDR4700 - Needs DSA for the AR8327 Note2: I do have a stash of extensive APM82181 related documentation.
