[Pkg-raspi-maintainers] Bug#932158: raspi3-firmware: add DTB support for Pi Compute Module 3

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: raspi3-firmware
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hi,

I've just opened a bug report and a merge request against the linux
kernel to get a DTB added to support Pi Compute Module 3:
 - https://bugs.debian.org/932157
 - https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/merge_requests/155

The latter was just merged by Vagrant, so I hope to get this into sid
soon, and into buster after a while.

I've also pushed this commit into raspi3-firmware.git as the repository
is open to contributions from all DDs…
 - https://salsa.debian.org/debian/raspi3-firmware/commit/bf3b70946e2600c4197df9ca78996f10d134621e

… so that the extra DTB can be used when it's available.


It might be worth considering backporting this addition through
buster-pu so that buster users can benefit from it. I can probably
handle that on my own if you agree but:
 1. I'm not really familiar with this package and how often such
    backports happen;
 2. Due to improved console handling, I might end up using a package
    from buster-backports (either locally crafted or picked from that
    repository if/when that ends up existing) anyway, instead of a
    possibly updated buster package. But I suppose it would make sense
    to help other users anyway. :)


Please let me know what you think of my commit to master, and about a
possible backport.

Thanks for your time.


Cheers,
