Patches have been left as is because all of them applied fine, except for the device tree overlay compilation and installation. The device tree things have changed in 6.9 and the patch does not apply anymore. After some headeaches with the terrible makefiles, the second commit of this PR contains some hints on how I did the job and can serve as a icebreaker for other families perhaps. In particular: Some little accomodations in the overlay Makefile. the kernel makefile already supports dtbo files, but it wants the sources with .dtso extension, so all the device trees in overlay directory must be renamed with .dtso extension. This also greatly simplifies the existing general-add-overlay-support-compilation patch the kernel lacks support for .scr, but it is simple to add into scripts/Makefile.lib (see general-add-overlay-compilation-support.patch patch) architectures that have the flattening device tree directory kernel config option enabled (like rockchip), really flattens everything. Changing a line in scripts/Makefile.dtbinst strips away the base vendor name (rockchip/ in this case) and keeps the subdirectories (perhaps this can be generalized to work with all families, but makefile are awkward and I could not find a simple way to strip just the first directory entry in the path) With such changes, the dtb deb package contains this in the boot directory: paolo@armbian-build:~/armbian-build/output/debs/dtbs$ find boot/ | sort boot/ boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/overlay boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/overlay/README.rk322x-overlays boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/overlay/README.rockchip-overlays boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/overlay/rk322x-bt-8723cs.dtbo boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/overlay/rk322x-cpu-hs-lv.dtbo boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/overlay/rk322x-cpu-hs.dtbo boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/overlay/rk322x-cpu-stability.dtbo ...cut... boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/overlay/rk322x-fixup.scr ...cut... boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/overlay/rockchip-ds1307.dtbo boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/overlay/rockchip-fixup.scr boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/overlay/rockchip-i2c1.dtbo boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/overlay/rockchip-i2c4.dtbo ...cut... boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/rk3188-radxarock.dtb boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/rk3228-evb.dtb boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/rk3229-evb.dtb boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/rk3229-xms6.dtb boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/rk322x-box.dtb boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/rk3288-evb-act8846.dtb ...cut.. boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/rk3288-rock-pi-n8.dtb boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/rk3288-rock2-square.dtb boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/rk3288-tinker-s.dtb boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/rk3288-tinker.dtb boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/rk3288-veyron-brain.dtb boot/dtb-6.9.3-edge-rockchip/rk3288-veyron-fievel.dtb ...cut... which seems quite ok (.dtbo, .src and readme files are all in overlay directory, .dtb files are outside) compared to a live installation I have around. Jira reference number AR-2347 How Has This Been Tested? [x] Compilation works without errors [x] Manually checked dtb file [ ] Upgrade of a living system - this is crucial, since the previous overlay compilation involved other steps that have been removed and I don't know if they are still necessary (perhaps they aren't, since dtc matured in the years).
