Description

  • bump edge to 7.2 for rockchip64, meson64 and both uefi variants
  • bump bleedingedge to unreleased 7.3 for the same families
  • copy over the relevant bleedingedge configs over the edge ones
  • generify a function name on mainline-kernel.conf.sh to slightly reduce effort when bump through rc kernels

How Has This Been Tested?

  • build rockchip64-7.2
  • build meson64-7.2
  • build uefi-x86-7.2
  • build uefi-arm64-7.2

Restore the NTFS3 settings.

The 7.2 regeneration removed CONFIG_NTFS3_FS, CONFIG_NTFS3_LZX_XPRESS, and CONFIG_NTFS3_FS_POSIX_ACL while retaining only the legacy CONFIG_NTFS_FS=m. Restore the previous settings unless this feature loss is intentional.

@EvilOlaf sorry to pester, but I've just recently discovered troubles with v7.2 and eBPF (not Armbian-related, just v7.2 stuff from upstream), and I might need to keep v7.1 for a while. Could we keep the v7.1 patchset?

Hm do you think this could be sorted out until 7.3-rc1 is out? We don't have to merge this until then.

Nah, just go ahead, I just realized there won't be a 7.1.9 stable (eg it's EOL, just not marked so yet) so 7.2 is the only way to fly.

armbian#10448 bumps the "edge" kernel target to 7.2 and drops the
rockchip64-7.1 patchset entirely.
Ported ahead of time:
rk3528.dtsi renamed the USB2 PHY labels (u2phy* -> usb2phy*) going into
7.2, and usb_host0_xhci now gets its USB2/USB3 phys wired by default at
SoC level, so the board override no longer needs to repeat them. All
other labels this board dts references are unchanged between 7.1 and 7.2.

Verified: compiles cleanly against the real 7.2 kernel tree
(BRANCH=bleedingedge, KERNEL_GIT=shallow).

…edge` to unreleased 7.3

just as a reminder: bleedingedge is mean for developers only and I don't care about breakage caused by this change
one thing less to edit every week to make sense
…sed as it was merged upstream

- very last minute before v7.2 (-final), but, thankfully

Another reason to wait with merge is that upstream git is lacking linux-7.2.y branch. For some reason it hasn't been created yet. Usually this is done immediately....

there won't be a 7.1.9 stable

lol, 7.1.9 was released, containing security fixes backported from v7.2. it should be EOL now...

Another reason to wait with merge is that upstream git is lacking linux-7.2.y branch. For some reason it hasn't been created yet. Usually this is done immediately....

It's there now, https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/log/?h=linux-7.2.y
