Research Migration Schedule: U-Boot needs some technical data from Banana Pi R1 (Lamobo R1) [Allwinner A20, sunxi] maintainers / users

[mutluit]

I'm a newbie to Armbian, just a hobby user, no company behind me.
While building Armbian for my Banana Pi R1 (aka Lamobo R1) [Allwinner A20, sunxi] the build system gave the following warnings originating from the U-Boot project.

I think some maintainers and/or experienced users should take a look at the following.

 

===================== WARNING ======================
This board does not use CONFIG_DM_MMC. Please update
the board to use CONFIG_DM_MMC before the v2019.04 release.
Failure to update by the deadline may result in board removal.
See doc/driver-model/MIGRATION.txt for more info.
====================================================
===================== WARNING ======================
This board does not use CONFIG_DM_USB. Please update
the board to use CONFIG_DM_USB before the v2019.07 release.
Failure to update by the deadline may result in board removal.
See doc/driver-model/MIGRATION.txt for more info.
====================================================
===================== WARNING ======================
This board does not use CONFIG_DM_SCSI. Please update
the storage controller to use CONFIG_DM_SCSI before the v2019.07 release.
Failure to update by the deadline may result in board removal.
See doc/driver-model/MIGRATION.txt for more info.

Migration Schedule

====================

U-Boot has been migrating to a new driver model since its introduction in
2014. This file describes the schedule for deprecation of pre-driver-model
features.

CONFIG_DM_MMC
-------------

Status: In progress
Deadline: 2019.04

The subsystem itself has been converted and maintainers should submit patches
switching over to using CONFIG_DM_MMC and other base driver model options in
time for inclusion in the 2019.04 rerelease.

CONFIG_DM_USB
-------------

Status: In progress
Deadline: 2019.07

The subsystem itself has been converted along with many of the host controller
and maintainers should submit patches switching over to using CONFIG_DM_USB and
other base driver model options in time for inclusion in the 2019.07 rerelease.

CONFIG_SATA
-----------

Status: In progress
Deadline: 2019.07

The subsystem itself has been converted along with many of the host controller
and maintainers should submit patches switching over to using CONFIG_AHCI and
other base driver model options in time for inclusion in the 2019.07 rerelease.

CONFIG_BLK
----------

Status: In progress
Deadline: 2019.07

In concert with maintainers migrating their block device usage to the
appropriate DM driver, CONFIG_BLK needs to be set as well.  The final deadline
here coincides with the final deadline for migration of the various block
subsystems.  At this point we will be able to audit and correct the logic in
Kconfig around using CONFIG_PARTITIONS and CONFIG_HAVE_BLOCK_DEVICE and make
use of CONFIG_BLK / CONFIG_SPL_BLK as needed.

CONFIG_DM_SPI
CONFIG_DM_SPI_FLASH
-------------------

Board Maintainers should submit the patches for enabling DM_SPI and DM_SPI_FLASH
to move the migration with in the deadline.

No dm conversion yet:
    drivers/spi/cf_spi.c
    drivers/spi/fsl_espi.c
    drivers/spi/lpc32xx_ssp.c
    drivers/spi/mpc8xx_spi.c
    drivers/spi/mpc8xxx_spi.c
    drivers/spi/mxs_spi.c
    drivers/spi/sh_qspi.c
    drivers/spi/sh_spi.c
    drivers/spi/soft_spi_legacy.c

    Status: In progress
    Deadline: 2019.04

Partially converted:
    drivers/spi/atcspi200_spi.c
    drivers/spi/davinci_spi.c
    drivers/spi/fsl_dspi.c
    drivers/spi/fsl_qspi.c
    drivers/spi/kirkwood_spi.c
    drivers/spi/mxc_spi.c
    drivers/spi/omap3_spi.c
    drivers/spi/ti_qspi.c

    Status: In progress
    Deadline: 2019.07

CONFIG_DM_PCI
-------------
Deadline: 2019.07

The PCI subsystem has supported driver model since mid 2015. Maintainers should
submit patches switching over to using CONFIG_DM_PCI and other base driver
model options in time for inclusion in the 2019.07 release.


CONFIG_DM_VIDEO
---------------
Deadline: 2019.07

The video subsystem has supported driver model since early 2016. Maintainers
should submit patches switching over to using CONFIG_DM_VIDEO and other base
driver model options in time for inclusion in the 2019.07 release.
