Description The Orange Pi Zero 3 board was recently added as a WIP configuration, and through testing it was determined that the CPU frequency configuration was not working for this board, but was working correctly for the Orange Pi Zero 2. Further investigation determined that the h618 CPU (which differs from the Zero 2 h616) was not in the allow list in the CPU frequency kernel driver. This PR updates both the current and edge sunxi kernel configurations with a patch that enables the h618 device in the configuration whitelist. The goal of this patch was to make the smallest change possible change to the driver code to enable the capability for the Zero 3. In the code, …

Description In some file systems, calling du shows an invalid amount of occupied filespace.

Remove stmmac change from net-phy-Support-yt8531c.patch as its causing 32-bit allwinner boards to hang on boot Description The 32-bit allwinner boards are known to hang with 6.1.30 kernel. On investigation, I was able to narrow the issue down to the above mentioned patch.

Description The 32-bit allwinner boards are known to hang with 6.1.30 kernel. On investigation, I was able to narrow the issue down to net-phy-Support-yt8531c.patch and upstream change for lib/mapple tree for some reason these two changes don't seem to be playing along very well. I am trying to get the reason for it, but so far even after enabling low level debugging, hung task detection, earlyprintk and countless such debugging option, I was not able to get more output from the kernel or to get the kernel into kgdb mode. This merge request is raised as a workaround for fixing the hang issue so that other task depending on the same can be unblocked. Jira reference number…
