From: John Crispin <john@phrozen.org> EN7523 is an armv7 based silicon used inside broadband access type devices such as xPON and xDSL. It shares various silicon blocks with MediaTek silicon such as the MT7622.
This is a Cortex A53 isn't it? So it's ARMv8. I thought the issue is that it's actually a 64bit system but you only have a 32bit bootloader, firmware etc? Off-topic but related: Another MediaTek spin off, SigmaStar, seems to have done exactly the same thing. Cortex A53 chip running as a 32bit system to avoid having to fix their software. I'm interested to see if this makes it into arm or arm64. :) Cheers, Daniel _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
