Description

disable a few patches

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Bumps rockchip64 "edge" kernel from 6.18 → 6.19, adds a rockchip64-6.19 kernel patching config, introduces many board/device-tree patches and new DTS files across RK3308/RK3328/RK3399/RK3566 families, updates mainline RC selection logic, and tweaks spidev ID table.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Kernel family config \config/sources/families/include/rockchip64_common.inc``	Updated KERNEL_MAJOR_MINOR for the rockchip64 "edge" branch from 6.18 → 6.19.
Mainline selection logic \config/sources/mainline-kernel.conf.sh``	Updated RC tag selection (uses tag:v6.19-rc3) and added function that sets KERNELSOURCE to Linus repository when that RC is selected.
Patching metadata \patch/kernel/archive/rockchip64-6.19/0000.patching_config.yaml``	New patch series config for rockchip64-6.19 describing branch, DTS/overlay copy rules, Makefile auto-patching and do-not-commit helpers.
spidev tweak \patch/kernel/archive/rockchip64-6.19/drv-spi-spidev-remove-warnings.patch``	Inserted new spidev ID entries ("spi-dev" / "armbian,spi-dev") into static driver ID tables.
New patch set: board/device-tree patches \patch/kernel/archive/rockchip64-6.19/board-.patch``	Many board-specific DTS patches: add/modify regulators, PMIC properties, PCIe/USB/Type-C/DP wiring, GPIO/pinctrl updates, audio nodes, PWM fan/thermal trips, LED triggers, SD/MMC tweaks, DDR timing includes, and ep-gpios changes.
New DTS files (many boards) \patch/kernel/archive/rockchip64-6.19/dt/*.dts``	Added numerous full board DTS files for RK3308/RK3318/RK3328/RK3399/RK3566 families (power/regulator trees, OPP/DMC timing, pinctrl, peripherals, thermal and PMIC wiring).
Board-level small fixes \patch/kernel/archive/rockchip64-6.19/* (various)``	Multiple small edits across DTS: vmmc-supply swaps, sdmmc capability adjustments, sata/PCIe properties, gpio-line-names additions, SPI flash speed change, bus-scan-delay additions, and minor property insertions/removals.

Poem

🐰
I hopped from patch to DTS with glee,
Pushed voltages, clocks, and PCIe,
Fans spin, LEDs softly glow,
Boards wake where quiet data flow,
A rabbit’s cheer for kernel 6.19, whee!

Is it possible to list all the deleted patches so we can continue working on them? I can't find media-0001 rkvdec patches now.

[EvilOlaf]

Yes, I did my work step by step and commited inbetween to make it easier to get such info: 12aeef4
