11:11 Ke> is anyone still alive here
14:38 Ke> linux-4.19-rc5 hangs on boot on my mcbin
15:06 suihkulokki> Ke: tried with clk_ignore_unused ?
15:06 Ke> nope
15:06 Ke> would it be a regression after 4.18?
15:12 suihkulokki> could be
15:17 Ke> well, why not
15:17 Ke> I guess that's command line parameter
15:24 Ke> yeah, seems to work, is it like Keanu Reeves in Matrix?
15:24 Ke> I have heard someone else pointing to that particular option also
15:35 Ke> suihkulokki: let's assume it was the clk_ignore_unused, what would it tell?
15:38 suihkulokki> Ke: it tells that the kernel and device-tree have different idea on what clocks are really neccessary
15:39 Ke> on some of the boots I still had my old 4.16 device tree in use
15:40 Ke> I don't need it anymore though, since I have new EFI
15:40 suihkulokki> As discussed last week with Grant Likely and Rob Herring, we need to start considering kernel's failing to boot with in-firmware device trees as regressions
15:41 suihkulokki> in case of McBin they can still cop out with "we didn't ship it in firmware, you build the firmware yourself..."
15:42 Ke> if you run unmodified dts in it, it's not really different
15:44 Ke> though it's not like my build script could not handle updating the dts
15:44 Ke> I guess you noticed that mcbin efi is mostly upstream now
15:45 Ke> I guess it's actually linaro maintaining the edk2-open-platform
15:46 Ke> https://github.com/Linaro/OpenPlatformPkg or this
15:47 Ke> other than that, there is mv-ddr-marvell and ble-marvell that did not yet fit into arm-trusted-firmware
15:50 Ke> there is rumours of 4.19 being frozen for debian buster so I can stop worrying
