Hi Rich,

I applied your patches on my tree.

Thanks !

Thanks! Which is your current tree?

I was looking and couldn't find
it. This is the one thing (and it's a boot blocker) keeping Linux on
J2 from working out of the box and I'd really love to see it go in
4.9.

Unfortunately it won't happen. v4.9-rc1 is already out. The driver will be
in v4.10.

If you wanted patches merged for v4.9, they should have been merged in the
downstream tree before v4.8-rc5, so they hit the upstream tree for v4.9's merge
window.

I've been trying to get what's essentially the same patch merged since
before the 4.8 merge window. I would be more understanding if this
were something new that's not upstream, but broken support for the
hardware (that, from a user perspective, is a bug, since they can
select the target but then it doesn't boot) has already been in one
release due to missing core drivers, and the irq patches have already
been merged in this release (post-rc1 even).
