Just a short update: it will be a bumpy road :-(
The good news first: sdhci (incl. clk changes) and pinctrl are ready.
But there is hassle with DMA especially with current Linux 5.3 rc. So in
case the initial series land for Linux 5.4, there will be only debug
UART and no graphics support. Also i'm currently not sure arm64 support
will be ready.
Is there a tracking ticket for the changes that need to be made,
issues etc. I noticed you posted a v2 series this morning. Is the
aarch64 issue the one with the dma32 problems or is there other issues
as well?
