Linux Kernel 4.18.8

[ddimension]

Saw this on your forums - many thanks to av (or whoever has done the cooking)!

Seems like a couple of things are improved since rc8 (e.g. DRM-ROCKCHIP doesn't cause major delays/timeouts) - I hope you are OK if I use this thread to list problems I have with 4.18 (in fact 4.18.8 now)?

3) The schedulling is not right: with either ondemand or performance high CPU jobs land on the little cores. I guess CONFIG_ARM_ROCKCHIP_CPUFREQ needs to be ported from 4.4?

4) Still get an infinite loop at boot "running CQE recovery" if eMMC is plugged in

5) This seems to be a defect in the DT but I cannot find it:

Code:

$ dmesg | grep vcc_sdio
[    2.092922] vcc_sdio: Bringing 3300000uV into 3000000-3000000uV
[    2.148951] vcc_sdio: unsupportable voltage range: 3300000-3000000uV

6) Similarly think this is an attempt to define OTG on USB2 whereas it should be the USB3 ports

Code:

$ dmesg | grep otg
[    1.818420] OF: graph: no port node found in /syscon@ff770000/usb2-phy@e450/otg-port

Thanks for your statement. Some comments:
3)
I noticed that crypto performance varies a lot and did not notice it was the missing scheduling. Interesting. But there currently no driver..
6) 
There seems to support for usb-c ports in kernel.  Perhaps I can fix it later.

Also there is another problem with sata and ssd. It is not stable, I get SATA disconnects... Normal HDD works. Do you have the same problem?

The purpose of this kernel was to stabilize my NAS, which works now as desired. Hopefully someone with more experience can fix these problems.

A funny fact is, that all other platforms get support/developement in the kernel. But not our beloved RockPro64.
