I think the easiest (if definitely not the fastest) way for me to test these patches the Arch way IF they will apply cleanly against 4.11-rc1 is to patch the linux-armv7-rc PKGBUILD so that it will apply Phillipp's patches before it builds the kernel. The linux-armv7-rc PKGBUILD is available from git clone https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs.git under core/linux-armv7-rc. I think all I should need to do is add: git fetch https://git.pengutronix.de/git/pza/linux.git tags/v4.10-ipu-dp-plane-fix git checkout FETCH_HEAD To the prepare() section of the PKGBUILD, prob just after the last `git apply ...` line Should your patches work fine under 4.11-rc1 Phillipp or do I need to test againt the very latest git? I realise that would be preferred. If anyone can tell me how I would build linux git specifically for Arch on the SABRE Lite, that'd be even better! I haven't needed to build a kernel in a very long time!
