<MoeIcenowy> https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/u-boot-orangepi/blob/v2018.05-sun50iw9/arch/arm/mach-sunxi/Kconfig strange hybrid between mainline code and Allwinner code, when Allwinner updates there SW version

<libv> pretty sad how so many people fail to understand the basic goals git solves
<MoeIcenowy> libv: BTW allwinner has complaint that dl.linux-sunxi.org hasn't updated since a long time ago
<KotCzarny> lol
<KotCzarny> what kind of complaint it is?
<MoeIcenowy> they say that some customers download document there
<KotCzarny> LOL
<Werner> lol
<libv> MoeIcenowy: allwinner should first address our complaints before it should try to utter its own
<libv> and what i tell my 4y old when he runs into a doorhandle because he is all over the place due to being tired, and just after he got warned:
<libv> "selber schuld"
<libv> (it's your own fault)
<KotCzarny> libv, but that means linux-sunxi.org is more meaningful for allwinner customers than allwinner itself
<KotCzarny> at least for some
<KotCzarny> and maybe they thing linux-sunxi.org is owned by allwinner
<libv> the question has to be asked... would there be a market for allwinner chips still if linux-sunxi did not axist
<KotCzarny> *think
<libv> tablets are dead
<apritzel> someone should tar up some mainline sources there, to show them the light
<libv> who chooses an arm device over a 2x as expensive wintel machine as a media playback device these days?
<libv> that leaves the development boards
<libv> and we all know what those depend on
<libv> the mainlined code and the wiki
<MoeIcenowy> let's try to keep H616 from being mainlined? ;-)
<MoeIcenowy> it has been released for a long time, but only recently Orange Pi made a SBC
<libv> would there be any development boards if it were not for the cubieboard?
<libv> and the cubieboard and linux-sunxi went hand-in-hand
<MoeIcenowy> BTW Allwinner really have some weird market
<KotCzarny> libv, maybe add some nice header on http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/ ?
victhor has joined #linux-sunxi
<MoeIcenowy> consider the suniv family, which is a newly created SoC with ARM926EJ-S
<libv> KotCzarny: mimicking the "community" section on the wiki?
<MoeIcenowy> and there are still very cheap Allwinner-based OTT boxes
<MoeIcenowy> (considering Amlogic is well developing recently, Allwinner has now only the lowest end market
<KotCzarny> libv: for example. but really any info
<libv> but would you really waste your time with them if you can buy a fanless atom based intel machine for 100?
<MoeIcenowy> 100 what?
<MoeIcenowy> CNY?
<KotCzarny> usd
<libv> usd/eur/gbp, whatever
<MoeIcenowy> but I can buy an Allwinner for 100 CNY.
<libv> not worth the hassle tbh
<libv> anyway, KotCzarny, good point
<libv> mnemoc is spending his spare time reworking the server now
<libv> and it makes sense to go there
<MoeIcenowy> To be honest I don't think Allwinner have gain a lot of market from linux-sunxi
<MoeIcenowy> many of their mass customers are still part of the strange Chinese electronics
<MoeIcenowy> which just accepts their weird BSP
<libv> but for the rest of the world, what market is left?
<KotCzarny> tinkerers
<libv> development boards only
<libv> and people get disappointed quick with what bpi/opi provides itself
<libv> and then land with armbian, or with linux-sunxi directly
<libv> in as much as bpi/opi does not already mostly depend on the sunxi community
<KotCzarny> xunlong is a nice bsp provider
<MoeIcenowy> well Allwinner is although weak, not so weak that they will care individual customers
<KotCzarny> but they are mostly hw company
<libv> KotCzarny: to that point, just like with ati, arm, etc, why not sell more hw and give some support to the software people
<MoeIcenowy> they still have OEMs that make products
<MoeIcenowy> because Allwinner always try to give out a full solution (although always dirty too)
<libv> a full solution never is throwing something bad over the fence
<MoeIcenowy> their solution-based business model is also why they name the same SoC under different series letters
<libv> a full solution for development boards is providing full docs, and some development resources, but the first is needed to ensure actual long term support
<MoeIcenowy> because each letter will be distributed with different SDK
<MoeIcenowy> in addition, to prevent SDK being used on the same chip with other letter, they closed libdram
<MoeIcenowy> (because they added identification code there)
<MoeIcenowy> libv: they never care development boards market
<libv> but the development boards, and the products being made from them, is soon all they that will have left
<gediz0x539> interesting complaint. hardware vendor complaining about a fully volunteered community effort? eh...
<libv> gediz0x539: not fully
<KotCzarny> gediz: i bet on hw vendor not knowing who owns the site
<gediz0x539> libv: sorry, some obfuscated SDKs?
<gediz0x539> KotCzarny: highly likely
<libv> bootlin got paid by c.h.i.p. a allwinner spin-off kickstarter as that was a .us company doing a kickstarter with hw with a well known and then very prominent GPL violation shit throwing contest
<libv> which they only got wise to a week or so into the kickstarter
<MoeIcenowy> some SBC vendors do pay
<MoeIcenowy> but nothing is got from Allwinner itself
<MoeIcenowy> well, someone with @allwinnertech.com did the mainline of A100, but he's just doing this in part time
<libv> MoeIcenowy: which is a smart thing to do, this employee might get a better paid job elsewhere because of that
<gediz0x539> libv: oh i did not know chip had a relation with AW
<libv> gediz0x539: some former employees were at the now long defunct Next Thing Co, and no-one else was getting such a low price for those chips
<libv> but really, if we had not stepped up the gpl violation noise a few months earlier, next thing co would've continued on its original path
<libv> (before anyone complains, we had 3 years trying to convince allwinner of anything, and communication always ended up stalling even when playing nice)
<MoeIcenowy> By the way it's said that Allwinner will deliver a RISC-V chip the next year
<libv> anyway, nice to know that allwinner complains
<MoeIcenowy> let's wonder how they can do on that chip
<libv> but then, nothing will come of that either, it's allwinner, we've been there before countless times
<libv> MoeIcenowy: allwinner is far from alone
<libv> so no edge to be had there
<MoeIcenowy> yes, they're far from alone

<mripard> it's unclear at this point
<pgreco> ack, thanks. I'll keep them in my trees for now
<mripard> eventually I guess they will, but the contentious part seems to be in the driver
<mripard> and the DT changes are being held until it's figured out
jonkerj has quit [Quit: brb]
<pgreco> are there any other clear "victims" of the patch?
jonkerj has joined #linux-sunxi
<MoeIcenowy> I think everyone is the victim
<MoeIcenowy> except part of original Pine A64+ boards can benefit
<MoeIcenowy> mripard: I think the driver patch at least broke DT backward compatibility
<MoeIcenowy> and as I know Fedora now depends on DT backward compatibility (they do not switch DT when update kernel, but include a new kernel DT in U-Boot when distributing system)
<pgreco> MoeIcenowy: you mean that if they were to revert the patch, dt fixes be reverted too?
<MoeIcenowy> I don't know what will happen
<MoeIcenowy> at least this patch shouldn't break so many boards
<pgreco> I think Fedora updates dtb symlink to the "latest" installed
<MoeIcenowy> but it's not used
<MoeIcenowy> at least not used for sunxi
<MoeIcenowy> because they used U-Boot EFI + Grub
<pgreco> right, for armhfp it is linked to the right kernel via extlinux
<MoeIcenowy> and their image contained / in a LVM
<MoeIcenowy> which cannot be parsed by U-Boot
<hramrach> doesn-t u-boot load the DT
<MoeIcenowy> U-Boot can load DT
<hramrach> yes LVM
<MoeIcenowy> but /boot is not a vfat that can be read
<mripard> MoeIcenowy: well, no, not really. The DT was wrong all along
<mripard> it's a bug in the DT, it should be fixed
<MoeIcenowy> to have U-Boot load a new DT
<MoeIcenowy> you need to put it at ESP
<pgreco> fedora has /boot/efi as vfat (esp)
<MoeIcenowy> because ESP is where U-Boot will load files (it's a vfat)
<mripard> it's no different than having a wrong interrupt or a wrong base address specified somewhere
<hramrach> once reshaped my LVM and had to add an USB disk for /boot because grub would not understand it anymore
<pgreco> I haven't tested any of the new images with btrfs
<MoeIcenowy> pgreco: yes, but Fedora won't automatically put DT into ESP
<MoeIcenowy> by experimenting (with I instructing someone else), put a DT file into ESP will let it be loaded
<pgreco> ok, now I understand what you were saying :)
<MoeIcenowy> but w/o it U-Boot internal DT will be used

<mripard> in answer to the PR
s_frit has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
s_frit has joined #linux-sunxi
<apritzel> so are we actually changing the PHY type for *all* boards?
<apritzel> couldn't we then change the driver to do this, which would allow older DTs to both stay compatible, but also getting the fix?
<mripard> we have no way to differentiate the boards that got it right from the one who got it wrong
<apritzel> OK, so that's not affecting all boards then?
<apritzel> ah, it's rgmii-txid vs. rgmii-id, I see
