Looking for testers for Quartz64 patch for Debian kernel

[Diederik de Haas]

Hi,

I would like to add initial support for (various) Quartz64 devices from Pine64
to the Debian kernel. I've made a patch for it (attached).

Before submitting a MR to the Debian kernel repo, you need to verify whether
the change actually achieves what you want to achieve and you'd do that by
building a kernel with the patch and test that out on the actual device.

But I don't have a Quartz64 device, so I can't do that myself.
So I'm looking for people who do have such a device and are willing to help me
by testing it on an actual Quartz64 device.


Cheers,
Diederik

you'd do that by building a kernel with the patch

Of course it's better to build from source yourself, but as a convenience I've
also build them and uploaded it here:

I just noticed that CONFIG_MOTORCOMM_PHY isn't "=y", but "=m" in the kernel
build (probably due to CONFIG_PHYLIB=m).
This likely means that the NIC won't work as it is. I _think_ that if you add
'motorcomm' to the initramfs, then it should work.
