Everything else should just go in. Patches that are purely bugfixes should probably also get backported to stable kernels, so please add a 'Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org' tag in the changelog for things that are required to make older kernels work correctly (as opposed to adding features that were never supposed to work), and describe in the changelog which kernel versions should see that backport. > The patch set has been tested on an OLPC XO-1.75 laptop.

Dunno, I'd be careful there. MMP2 was broken long ago and mainline never booted on olpc-1.75 AFAICT. Seems like noone cares about MMP2. I'd just keep it out of stable; stable is for bugs when someone cares. Pavel

There are a few driver patches here that should be reviewed/acked by the corresponding maintainers as well, so I didn't apply most of them yet. > > The patch set has been tested on an OLPC XO-1.75 laptop. > > Excellent! OOooh, I have one of those... somewhere. -Olof

I'm working on adjusting the machine's OFW to provide a devicetree that matches what mainline Linux expects. I'll follow up with a boot script in a few days -- once it's good enough to be actually useful. There also seems to be a good chance that we'll get an updated firmware image at some point. Until then, CONFIG_ARM_APPENDED_DTB can be used, though a zImage header needs to be modified to account for the DTB at the end: https://github.com/hackerspace/olpc-xo175-linux/wiki/How-to-run-an-up-to-date-Linux-on-a-XO-1.75 > -Olof Lubo

It is still pretty great machine, can last 8? hours on battery, sunlight readable screen, and if you meet a tiger you can hit him on the head with it ... and it is still likely to work afterwards :-).

Yes. Best configuration is with laptop closed, ears locked, firmly held by handle, and use the narrow side edge to hit with. Users have tried the large flat surface behind the display, but the display tends to fail after five to ten hits. It will depend on the tiger.
