Please read > also Darren's comments in this post. Thanks for that. The DT looks absolutely bonkers, no wonder that things break with something like that. But Darren's comments made me jump a bit, and I quote them here for everyone to see: <quote> [...] The dtb passed by the CFE firmware has a number of issues, which up till now have been fixed by use of patches applied to the mainline kernel. This occasionally causes problems with changes made to mainline. [...] </quote> Am I right in understanding that the upstream kernel does not support the machine out of the box, and that you actually have to apply out of tree patches to make it work? That these patches have to do with the IRQ routing? If so, I wonder why upstream should revert a patch to work on a system that isn't supported upstream the first place. I will still try and come up with a solution for you. But asking for the revert of a patch on these grounds is not, IMHO, acceptable. Also, please provide these patches on the list so that I can help you to some extend (and I mean *on the list*, not on a random forum that collects my information). Thanks, M. -- Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
