Thanks Thomas, may I take this moment to poke you about a nother issue I
don't quite understand how to resolve/figure out.
I made the realtek target work with the GENERIC_MIPS_KERNEL, but only if I
disable SWAP_IO_SPACE[0].
is this little endian or big endian ?
The kernel config currently states Big Endian
While I could act all smart and ask what this is for, I better ask, why is
this concidered 'generic'. The comment in mangle-port [1] mentions 'sane
hardware'. I don't know what is considered sane here, as the number of
targets following generic mips seem to be around 5.
I always thought that SWAP_IO_SPACE is needed for big endian, but
looking at arch/mips/Kconfig I see a lot of SWAP_IO_SPACE for pure
little endian machines. I need to dig deeper to understand why.
Thank you!
So any pointers (other then doing SWAP_IO_SPACE if !REALTEK_SOC, which I
have now) would be appreciated
such a change would defeat the generic part of GENERIC_MIPS_KERNEL,
because it will then only work on REALTEC_SOC and nothing else.
Ignoring the potential incorrect detail here, obviously I would prefer
to use the GENERIC_MIPS_KERNEL, but having to copy the whole config just
to leave out that one option also is kinda meh. So i'm hoping we can
find a solution of course :)
