Previously we used to get the warning: "amba xx: ignoring dependency for device, assuming no driver" Now we have the kernel warning in addition to the above. > since the system is essentially broken (i.e. the hardware/firmware doesn't > actually match what the DT describes). > Not sure if we can term it as "essentially broken". Definitely not 100% functional but not broken if the situation like on Juno where SCP firmware is fundamental for all OSPM but not essential for boot and other minimum set of functionality. Either way I am not against the warning, just wanted to get certain things clarified myself. -- Regards, Sudeep
