<aholler>
so it might make sense to send that patch to meta-freescale too
<aholler>
I'll check their 3.10.17 and 3.10.31 and if I will see the driver there, I will send it to that list. I really think it's a big mistake to have such a dangerous thing enabled.
<jnettlet>
probably easiest to send it to otavio. Yocto may want to pick it up.
<aholler>
I'll put him into cc, do you want to be there as well?
<jnettlet>
sure, throw me in there. If there is discussion as to why they want the functionality exposed like that I would like to hear it
<aholler>
just checked 3.10.17 and 3.10.31, fsl_otp is there and the patch applies without any problem
<aholler>
so I will send it to meta-freescale as this is the only list I know about their kernel
<jnettlet>
great thanks

aholler, it is a process. I think with a kernel config option that defaults to off, and a write_enable node in sysfs we are putting a decent safety mechanism on that driver.
<jnettlet>
I was thinking we can also spit out a nasty warning when the write mode is enabled
<aholler>
jnettlet: I don't care much. I'm aware how most devs think about disabling or removing "features". I just have no reason to further discuss.
<jnettlet>
aholler, fair enough. If I rework you patch for inclusion would you like your name on it?
<aholler>
jnettlet: Maybe as reported-by, but you were the one which made me aware. I've just ringed the bells. ;)
<jnettlet>
aholler, and I appreciate it. I actually had that in my todo list for 3 weeks before you took the ball
<aholler>
btw., do you've seen the last response. Looks like s warren made a patch
<jnettlet>
looks like I wasn't included on that.
<aholler>
you are
<jnettlet>
hmmm, what has gmail done with it?
<aholler>
but the sender seems to use a rather long resend-intervall. I've got one mail of him just 3 hours later (first time greylisted, retry only several hours later)
<aholler>
hmm, it wasn't the s warren with two r ;)
<jnettlet>
ah okay
<aholler>
maybe you want to replace fsl_otp with his version
<jnettlet>
aholler, I may.
<jnettlet>
I didn't realize the tegra had a similar interface.
<aholler>
we've just seen how hard it is to make devs aware of such problems. ;)
<jnettlet>
yes, but you should be happy that you got such a quick reaction
<jnettlet>
it isn't being ignored
<jnettlet>
now I feel bad that I shelved it on my list for so long
<vpeter>
aholler, jnettlet: You two are doing this things professionally right? As part of the daytime job.
<aholler>
no. I did, but I'm currently vacant ;)
<aholler>
so for me it's currently just a hobby
<jnettlet>
vpeter, my list is a mix of paid work, curiosity, and masochism. But most my iMX6 work is done in the name of SolidRun or Kosagi (Novena) at this point.
<aholler>
besides that my embedded time was quiet some time ago. ;)

jnettlet: about SolidRun: I'm working on OpenELEC and we are moving to common imx6 project. Kosagi/Novena: Like the laptop :)
<jnettlet>
vpeter, yeah we are working a lot with the OpenELEC team on a new image
<aholler>
jnettlet: you could add a Ringed-the-bells: <me> to your repo ;)
<jnettlet>
:)
<jnettlet>
sure

in regard to solidrun, I'm thinking about an CuBox-i4Pro as backup or main device in addition to the wandboard. should have been available before I bought the wandboard
<jnettlet>
aholler, they are good devices. The thermal management that they have managed with that little box is pretty amazing.
<jnettlet>
it handles the iMX6Q better than just about any other board produced with it.
<aholler>
I like especially the rtc. besides the nice box.
<aholler>
and I assume it has working edid and cec
<jnettlet>
yes they all work
<jnettlet>
CEC mostly works, but it is a current working item. That is more a problem with oss CEC libraries more than an iMX6 specific thing
<aholler>
I know
<jnettlet>
it depends how complex your CEC network is. I am using hdmi ARC which seems to hate linux's CEC implementation right now
<aholler>
anyway, it has to wait for budget.

<sjoerd>
jnettlet: i've always failed to look into that but is there actually a standard kernle interface for cec ?
<aholler>
no
<aholler>
there are just some drivers and some libraries which do support some drivers.
