Nikolaus, when I tried to merge my rebased patch branches into letux-4.10-rc8 I got a big mess of merge conflicts because you merged previous patches from me into it already. Please don't.

It is easy to remove them completely

Please do so from your main letux branch while the patches are still in development, I'm currently relying on it being a (or rather the only) known-working kernel for the pyra which I can use to test my patches.

+1 Well, I generated the branch list from the big merge commit and did a merge myself without that not-ready tiled-fb stuff using the merge script.

But I would favour to be able to just use the letux-4.10-rc8 branches directly without having only a white screen after booting.

Well, in my setup I didn't have a white screen, neither on GTA04 nor on Pyra so I never noticed a problem myself... On GTA04 it works for me while on Pyra I don't get a rotated screen.

If that is important for some showcase, merge it on top of letux-4.10-rc8 to form a pyra-showcase-4.10-rc8 branch or something like that.

Well, it should not be a special showcase, it should be possible to point pyra and gta04 users to the latest letux kernel w/o making such differences. It is the core philosophy of the letux kernel to support all devices.

If there is a bug we should not fix it by workarounds that users can see and make them trouble. And pointing people to different kernel flavours is not a solution.

So my main goal is to get the Pyra rotated screen working in 4.10-rc9 without influencing the GTA04 screen.

That is what we should work on. Not workarounds for either.

but then we have no default kernel to test the Pyra with properly rotated

screen.

You can make such a kernel at any time by merging the latest version of my patch/tiler-fbdev into the base letux kernel.

I also explicitly mentioned patch/tiler-buf-dumb should not be merged at

...

all, not even for pyra.

Treat it as my attempt to do a quality assessment...

What part about "should not be merged at all" is so hard to get?

I don't need a quality assessment of it, I'm perfectly aware that it is neither necessary nor useful for the rotated fbdev, breaks all dma-buf clients of omapdrm (including SGX) on targets with tiler, and breaks omapdrm almost entirely on targets without tiler.

PLEASE STOP MERGING THAT PATCH.

So that tiler-buf-dumb branch is really the main evil here?

A first step seems to be to remove the tiler-buf-dumb branch because it does not solve the Pyra issue but adds one for GTA04 (and probably for OpenPandora as well). I will push it in some minutes. Then please test.

Regards, Andreas
