Description I was accidentally burned when updating my BSP package this week. I had inadvertently left some important xorg config in 01-armbian-defaults.conf, and this file was overwritten during the upgrade. I came to the conclusion that either: the comment in 01-armbian-defaults.conf should be updated to indicate to users that the file may be overwritten and should not be edited, or 01-armbian-defaults.conf should be placed in the conffiles list so that an end-user can review any potential changes to the file as part of the package upgrade process. I contend that option (2) is better, because even if a user hasn't edited this file, they should still get some notice …

Description This PR partially reverts #5677 that I raised and merged today. I was able to get in touch with Samuel Holland and he suggested a fix for the network slowness issue which worked fine for current and edge. The fix doesn't seem to make a difference for legacy, but then the driver in legacy seems to be some early version of the driver that got merged in mainline. Hence I am leaving the driver disabled for legacy, while re-enabling the driver for current and edge with his proposed fix. Jira reference number AR-1833 How Has This Been Tested?

Description This problem was first reported by a user on Armbian forum affecting Orange Pi Win and Orange Pi Prime with 6.1 kernel. The problem was when running iperf3 for network testing, it reported extremely low speed in the range of 40Mbps instead of 900Mbps that was shown on Debian kernel. It was also observed on multiple other devices during testing of 6.5 including Orange Pi Zero Plus by @schwar3kat and Pine A64+ by @PanderMusubi. Legacy kernel performed a bit better giving 400+ Mbps speed. Running something like htop or watch -n 1 echo in parallel seemed to resolve the issue. I was able to narrow it down to sun8i-a33-mbus driver which is dram frequency scaling dr…

Description With this change, it is possible to select the collabora branch and build it on a Radxa Rock 5A. How Has This Been Tested? In Ubuntu on an x64 CPU, I have run ./compile.sh, selected the Rock-5a wip product, and then selected the collabora branch. I built if with desktop (which is overkill of course), but it boots nicely to Linux. I was allowed to setup my own user and the Ethernet port works nicely. uname -a Linux rock-5a 6.5.0-rc1-collabora-rockchip-rk3588 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Jul 28 15:49:06 UTC 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux lsusb Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub B…

Description Bumped legacy, current and edge kernel. Legacy - 5.15.127 -> 5.15.130 Current - 6.1.47 -> 6.1.51 Edge - 6.5 -> 6.5.1 Fixed compilation of xradio and as its working fine, disabled cw1200 driver that I added for edge last week. Refreshed kernel configs. Also uwe5622 patches needed for orange pi 3 lts were not being applied as least kernel version was set to 6.0. Moved it back to 5.15. Not sure if it works though will test next week once I receive my orangepi 3 lts. Also for edge kernel, enabled rtw88 based drivers and disabled their corresponding legacy counterparts.

Updated: 6.1 / 6.4 Added: 6.5 For doc sake, this update makes 6.1 slightly different than 6.4 and 6.5 in one particular area of main.c. As shown here: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88/commit/7746e2fa87a6687c068c9c746f6efbeee2616496 6.1 requires we use del_timer_sync, where the above releases use timer_delete_sync. Tested-on: ODROID-C4 X96-AIR BPI-CM4 (linux 6.x.y) There is no meson64-6.5 patch dir as of yet, so I didn't run an official test using Armbian. In my own personal builds, these patches all apply clean and the resulting kernel behaves as expected.

After rtw_usb_alloc_rx_bufs() has been called rx urbs have been allocated and must be freed in the error path. After rtw_usb_init_rx() has been called they are submitted, so they also must be killed. Add these forgotten steps to the probe error path. Besides the lost memory this also fixes a problem when the driver fails to download the firmware in rtw_chip_info_setup(). In this case it can happen that the completion of the rx urbs handler runs at a time when we already freed our data structures resulting in a kernel crash.
