The upstreamed patches for Cubietruck I managed to grab and backport trivially, and someone verified that they work, so I will include that much. If someone wants ahci support included, please backport the patch series to the Debian package and the submit patches. My attempts so far have taken longer than I'd like, and even if I got the patches to apply, I don't have the hardware to verify that they work correctly. > (You are also already carrying code which is not simple an un-invasive > and have a much longer road towards being included upstream, so I'm > having a hard time understanding why adding these would be a problem. > Please enlighten me so I can help solve it! The difference with the rather large patchset for cubox-i is that someone was willing to provide the patches and commit to keep them working with new upstream versions, and I was personally able to test that it works, as I have the hardware. The fact that it's not upstreamed and doesn't appear to be moving upstream does make me a bit nervous... maybe it was not good judgement on my part. :/ live well, vagrant
