Bug#946551: Enable TI PHY for 5.x kernels

2019-12-26 Thread Bastian Germann
I do not install any modules on that device intentionally. If you
think that this is not supported by Debian, please close the bug.

As I commented on that MR, the symbol is not configurable.

Not loading modules is a problem, and might be caused by using an old
device tree.  Please make sure you are using the device tree from the
current Debian package, and report whether that makes a difference.

Bug#946551: Enable TI PHY for 5.x kernels

2019-12-10 Thread Bastian Germann
Package: linux
Version: 5.3.9-3
Severity: normal

The armmp Linux configuration had CONFIG_TI_CPSW_PHY_SEL enabled to be
built in the kernel up to including the buster kernel version. As this
config was deprecated with 5.1, it was removed from Debian's
configuration. With the 5.x versions comes the successor
CONFIG_PHY_TI_GMII_SEL enabled as a module. This just hit me updating
a BeagleBone Black (that does not load any modules) from buster to
testing.

I have created a merge request with CONFIG_PHY_TI_GMII_SEL=y for
armmp: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/merge_requests/194
