Hi Gustavo,
Your patch works! Thanks a lot! I tested it with my Freescale P5040
board and P.A.Semi Nemo board with a connected AMD Radeon HD6970 NI
graphics cards (Cayman
XT) today.
Have a nice day,
Christian

Hello,
The Nemo board (A-EON AmigaOne X1000) [1] and the FSL P5040 Cyrus+ board (A-EON AmigaOne X5000) [2] with installed AMD Radeon HD6970 NI graphics cards (Cayman
XT) [3] don't boot with the latest git kernel anymore after the commit "drm/radeon/nislands_smc.h: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member in
struct NISLANDS_SMC_SWSTATE branch" [4]. This git kernel boots in a virtual e5500 QEMU machine with a VirtIO-GPU [5].
I bisected today [6].
Result: drm/radeon/nislands_smc.h: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member in struct NISLANDS_SMC_SWSTATE branch
(434fb1e7444a2efc3a4ebd950c7f771ebfcffa31) [4] is the first bad commit.
I have a fix ready for this bug:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gustavoars/linux.git/commit/?h=testing/drm-nislands
I wonder if you could help me to test it with your environment, please.
It should be applied on top of mainline.
Thank you!

I was able to revert this commit [7] and after a new compiling, the kernel boots without any problems on my AmigaOnes.
After that I created a patch for reverting this commit for new git test kernels. [3]
The kernel compiles and boots with this patch on my AmigaOnes. Please find attached the kernel config files.
Please check the first bad commit.
Thanks,
Christian
