Disable CONFIG_EXPERT as well since DEBUG_KERNEL=y is a dependency for EXPERT=y, meaning DEBUG_KERNEL would be re-enabled automatically if EXPERT is enabled
Manually forcing kernel options with 'call_extensions_kernel_config()' can introduce missing dependencies or misconfigurations. This commit introduces a function which checks the config, re-establishes its sanity if necessary and outputs any changes to the user.
This also makes `./compile.sh kernel-config` (exiting without changes) and `./compile.sh rewrite-kernel-config` ouput the same config file. Previously, this was not the case.
* Re-add functionality to create linux-libc-dev when building kernel packages.
* linux-libc-dev: append -${BRANCH}-${LINUXFAMILY} to package name and update control file
- This way we can safely include BOOT_SOC in /etc/armbian-release as done in the previous commit
- this will cause a rebuild of _all_ bsp-cli packages, even those for boards that don't define BOOT_SOC
- hopefully one day we will have BOOT_SOC ("What is the SoC?") defined for all boards
- for now, it will be empty for those that don't define it, which should be harmless
- RTW8723DS, RTW8723DU is unsupported/deprecated/obsolete by the author since kernel 6.7 in favor of RTW88, so deprecate it for kernel >=6.8
- RTL88x2cs specifically says in its repo: "USE RTW88 NOT THIS DRIVER", so deprecate in favor of RTW88, except for meson64 family
- move random RTL88x2cs hook specific for meson64 family in drivers_network.sh to their family config
Also add commit dates to make life prettier and easier
The following drivers have been updated with fixes for 6.8
- driver_rtl8811CU_rtl8821C
- driver_rtl88x2bu
- driver_rtl8811_rtl8812_rtl8814_rtl8821
The following drivers have been updated without specific 6.8 patches:
- driver_rtl8189ES (patches for 6.7, deleted two upstreamed patches)
- driver_rtl8189FS (patches for 6.7, deleted four upstreamed patches)
- it prepares git, applies patches to git, and re-writes them back from git
- same as kernel, it does git archeology for mbox-less patches, etc
- `uboot-patches-to-git` alias is also added, but my guess is rewrite is more useful
- refactor a common config function for both kernel and uboot
- example invocation: `./compile.sh BOARD=xxxx BRANCH=edge rewrite-uboot-patches`
- example: `./compile.sh BOARD=xxxxx BRANCH=edge kernel-dtb`
- outputs preprocessed DTS source for board in question to `output/`
- also outputs same preprocessed DTS source, ran through `dtc` with input and output DTS formats for "normalized" comparisions
- `inventory-boards-csv.py`: moar Python atrocities done to data; idea here is to output one line per board, with <<varies>> for fields that, well, vary (mainly across BRANCH'es)
- `inventory-boards` sets `TARGETS_FILE` to something that doesn't exist, so the `default-targets.yaml` is used (so same list for everyone, save for userpatched-boards)
- `DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR` must be set during the 1st stage, but NOT the second stage
- latest devel versions might be missing scripts for old releases; just symlink to the default one if so
- this hopefully should _end_ the debootstrap madness we've been handling, at least until we get around to mmdebstrap (Perl) one day
