Hello Jeremy,
When I tested these patches on linux-next, the bootloader on my Nexus 6P
wasn't finding the dtb until I adjusted the board-id value to <8023 0>.
Apparently, my hardware matches "Huawei Technologies, Inc. MSM8994
Angler VN2" in the original kernel sources:
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm/+/android-msm-angler-3.10-nougat/arch/arm64/boot/dts/huawei/huawei_angler_vn2.dts
I'm not sure what the most common hardware is out in the wild, but the
board-id for your dts comes from this commit, which seems to indicate
it's a DVT model (as opposed to a PVT model):
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm/+/e9a476191862cfe8e5e30e2babc04052f9ab936b
We should definitely get a sample size of > 1

This last property is undocumented, and unused.
They are required by the bootloader which AIUI can't/won't be updated
to use the mainline compatible string. The alternative is leave them
That is my understanding as well after talking to some QC people over
beer the other night.
out and then you have to run the dtb thru QC's dtbTool to add them
which is worse IMO.
If there is an expectation that one has to run the dtbTool as a post
compilation thing, in my opinion its not a good idea. But if that is
the path that is decided (not my personal favourite) then we should
at least let people know somehow that they have to run this tool in
order to boot their kernel. (dont like that either)
Its already hard enough to get debug serial going, or figuring out how
to get serial debug out. We should make it as easy as possible for
people that want to contribute and help. Google did _NOT_ lock down
these phones on purpose so that people can do what they want with them
(within reason). The fewer barriers to entry the better.
I'd also leave them undocumented as we want to minimize their usage.
I agree with this and will leave policing of their usage to RobH ;-)
