It's more up to me, as I ended up being the initial author of the mainline files - and if you look at: http://www.home.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/cubox/hummingboard-cubox-i-v3.16-rc2-20140624/0041-sgtl5000-hacks.patch you'll see the patch I refer to above, which is my own work, and it's hardly changed to the 3.18 patch: http://www.home.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/cubox/hummingboard-cubox-i-v3.18-20141216/0113-sgtl5000-hacks.patch > OTOH, did you already have a license update somewhere in your backlog > of patches? Well, I do now. :) I had dropped the ball on a load of kernel stuff as it seemed to be going nowhere, no one seemed interested in it, and my massive backlog of patches (especially things like the ethernet driver) just became far too difficult both to merge into mainline and to keep forward-porting. In any case, anyone who is serious about using the SolidRun hardware runs Jon Nettleton's fully featured kernel (which is the basis for SR's kernel) - sadly something which mainline likely is never going to be. It's a bit like the MMC stuff, I'm still carrying Olof's solution for the SDIO wifi/bt power and reset control stuff, and I'm not at present intending to do anything with it other than continue forward-porting it. I'm not interested in wasting free time trying to re-work that to suit some other solution, especially as people couldn't settle on a solution when I /did/ have an interest in it (not that I have much interest in wifi or BT - I tend to prefer old fashioned wired connections. It also doesn't help that the Broadcom driver seemed to be very flakey with brcm4329 hardware for quite some time.) Anyway, you can find all my kernel patches in a suitably trimmed version of the above URL, and on http://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/cgit/ is a huge pile of effort I put into an accelerated X server with etnaviv and /my/ kernel version of etnaviv drm, complete with Xv support. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 10.5Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net.
