Hello Greg, Sasha,
this series for 4.19-stable backports all the fixes (and their dependencies) for Armada 3720 PCIe driver. These include:
- fixes (and their dependencies) for pci-aardvark controller
- fixes (and their dependencies) for pinctrl-armada-37xx driver
- device-tree fixes
Basically all fixes from upstream are taken, excluding those that need fix the emulated bridge, since that was introduced after 4.19. (Should we backport it? It concerns only mvebu and aardvark controllers...)
Does anyone care for these old kernels? I doubt it.
Debian oldstable is using 4.19 kernel.
Yes, for older hardware and systems. If this hardware never worked on that kernel, you shouldn't be using old distros on it.
OpenWRT is using 4.14 kernel and only recently there was a new release where is 5.4 kernel.
They are getting closer to a modern kernel release, nice :)
thanks,
greg k-h
