Vivante GPU driver cannot operate in X11 and Wayland in same
distribution as it needs to have different libraries installed. So in
case 'x11' is in DISTRO_FEATURES, Wayland is disabled.

Fixes [YOCTO: #7814].

The fsl-default-providers.inc is very simple and makes harder to
understand the defaults assumed for i.MX SoCs.

This patch moves the contents of it to the imx-base.inc and
mxs-base.inc so it can be more easily changed.

This recipe provides the FSL Community's i.MX6 Linux which is a Linux
kernel based on Freescale 3.14.28-1.0.0 GA release, used by FSL
Community BSP in order to provide support for i.MX6 based platforms.

The fork includes the official Linux kernel stable updates, backported
features and fixes coming from the vendors, kernel community or FSL
Community itself.

This version is based on 3.14.44 stable release and includes following
changes on top of both kernels:

9e71c2c ARM: imx_v6_v7_defconfig: Enable kexec support
3b15ffa Revert "net: fec: fix the warning found by dma debug"
3183696 mmc: sdhci-esdhc-imx: Fixup runtime PM conditions during ->probe()
434d1b2 ARM: 8338/1: kexec: Relax SMP validation to improve DT compatibility
33bb67d gpio: generic: clamp retured value to [0,1]
192f32d ARM: imx6sl: Disable imx6sl-specific code when imx6sl SOC support is disabled

The linux-fslc-mx6 recipe provides the FSL Community's i.MX6 Linux
which is a Linux kernel based on Freescale GA release, used by FSL
Community BSP in order to provide support for i.MX6 based platforms.

Every machine can override this value but by default the
linux-fslc-mx6 is now used.

I personally think that the naming of this kernel will cause confusion.

We had a discussion about why should both u-boot and virtual/bootloader
to be set at the same value, at the same time. My experience with
Dizzy/Fido shows that I can usually get away with only setting the
u-boot preferred provider. Is it possible at some point to have only
one of these variables?

Anything that doesn't contain "fslc", like "linux-fsl", "linux-imx", 
"linux-imx6" or similar.

What do you think?

Yes; this needs to be cleaned up but I didn't find the time to do so.
If you want to jump in, be my guest ;-)

I think it is important to provide the credit to fslc as this is not
an fsl initiative or a generic imx kernel.

I think the credit already goes everywhere - source code license,
author's rights in each file, etc. To be honest, I was thinking mostly
about functionality and not about credit.

So, in terms of functionality this kernel sits somewhere between
mainline and FSL releases, is that correct?

Nikolay

My question was whether you added both variables by knowing that this
will be the long-term solution, or it was just inherited as code from
the current recipes :D. Thanks for clarifying this.

I'm OK with revisiting this kernel provider naming topic. Because it's
always healthy to rework or reorganize, and because it's a while (I
think more than 3 years?) that we had this discussion in the past. So,
I do want to hear suggestions as well.

However, if this kernel provider get a name change, linux-fslc must
follow the same pattern. At the end, they point to the same git
repository, which is going to follow the same pattern as well.

Yes; it is FSL release + stable releases + vendor/community fixes

I've been thinking about this issue. And this provider (for imx6 only)
may make sense to have "fslc" sufix, exactly because it has freescale
+ community patches

However, the other (currently linux-fslc) does not make sense. Maybe
linux-cmt makes more sense today.

I remember one of the arguments to not use only "linux" and use a
prefix was that it's not a pure mainline provider (it clones from
github) and because it leave the "linux" only for internal kernels

Any other suggestion?

I think we need to consider some things here:

 linux-fslc is a kernel tree we maintain
 u-boot-fslc is a u-boot tree we maintain

both have same goals and the idea is to provide a place to share
patches and backports.

The motivation to make the 3.14 is because FSL is not taking the fixes
and security updates from stable, so a place to merge those seems to
be beneficial. I don't want a plethora of names as it makes harder for
people to contribute and share work so I propose two solutions:

 linux-fslc_4.0.bb
 linux-fslc-mx6_3.14-1.0.x.bb

or

 linux-fslc_4.0.bb
 linux-fslc_3.14-1.0.x-mx6.bb

Both works.

Thanks for sharing your ideas, this helps me to understand somewhat
better the motivation behind creating these linux kernel providers.

So, my comments are not to oppose any changes/improvements at all, but
just to add a more global perspective on where the Yocto kernel
providers fit in the long chain between mainline and the OEM:

1. linux-mainline
-----------------
Good generic imx6 support, no support for ASRC, VPU. Regarding the GPU -
Jon Nettleton is working on the etnaviv code, so probably some day we'll
have a fully open GPU support there. Until then - no GPU support in
mainline, only basic FB on hdmi/lvds (parallel lcd probably also works,
but I haven't tested it). Supported by the kernel developers.

2. linux-fslc
-------------
Almost mainline. Here we collect patches that either will take very long
to be applied in mainline, or are inappropriate for mainline (but still
useful for Yocto users). As stability and features should be as good
mainline, if not slightly better due to custom fixes for Yocto.
Supported by Yocto community.

3. linux-as-proposed-by-otavio
------------------------------
Man-in-the middle. Forward-ported FSL code, back-ported important
patches from mainline. Probably something like "linux-imx-next". Who
will support this code?

4. linux-imx
------------
THE FSL kernel. Freescale's team is doing a great job, and there are
more or less regular releases with good overall quality. It's quite
normal/expected that this kernel version will always lag behind
mainline. One thing which bothers me is that there's no way for the
community to interact with the FSL BSP team, which means no transparent
way to submit/track/resolve issues. This same role is currently being
played by the Yocto community due to several individuals who have
internal access to the FSL BSP team and can help pushing through issues.
Supported by Yocto community (including FSL engineers).


So, even if I like the idea that #3 will have newer code than #4, the
main question is who will support it (support means both development and
validation)?

Regards,
Nikolay

#2 linux-fslc is a tree to host fslc modified kernels. It has no
compromise to be mainline only.

#3 allow us to share work among vendors and bring fixes while reusing
the work done by FSL BSP team, board vendors and community.

#4 has no support; as soon you port it to your board it is
non-supported kernel. As soon you move away of their BSP release it is
non-supported kernel and plus it does not have patches applied once
tagged (nor security or fixes) so any change needs to wait for next
GA.

To be honest, FSL does not apply fixes until next GA so there is no
way to improve their kernel, u-boot, whatever. We try to fill the gap
here and avoid work duplication.

The amount of duplicated work done by board vendors is insane, I am
trying to improve it as much as I can.

I see, and fully agree with the explanations. My current understanding
(could be wrong) is that the current FSL drivers in 3.14.28 are not
possible to be rebased to newer mainline kernels, is that correct?

That's why I commented about the possible confusion, as for me it's good
to see in the kernel name whether it has or has not support for the SoC
bells/whistles (-mainline/-fslc vs -imx).

If my assumption is wrong and these drivers *can* be rebased while
retaining compatibility with the binary blobs, than probably #2 and #3
start to look like something that can be merged (what Daiane said also).

Regards,
Nikolay

Correct; some can be adapted to work on top of mainline kernel however
this is another derivative work.

Some features can be forward-ported but this is another possible fork
to be started, I won't commit to this myself at this moment.

Understood. Then here's my proposal, which I hope aligns with what you
already outlined:

1. Drop SOC name from the provider name
...in order to have more SOCs benefit from the same efforts. First,
patches in non-soc-specific common areas can be reused as-is (ext4
patches anyone :D?), and second, it would be great to have 1 repository
where all these efforts are concentrated, not separate for each separate
SoC (also, there are drivers for IP-blocks which are reused 1:1 across
SoCs).

2. Make sure the provider name doesn't contain a delimited string of
"fsl", "imx" or "mx"
... to make sure the provider is not confused with the FSL provider, and
to give due credit to the upstream + community efforts.

3. Drop the GA release version from the provider name
...for several reasons:
- it will limit the ability to merge patches from different GA releases
(if/when such need arises)
- to not confuse it with FSL GA releases
- sooner or later due to upstream patches merged this code will be
further and further away from the FSL release point.

So I think that a provider name like...

linux-fslc_3.14.28
linux-fslc_3.17.4
linux-fslc_4.0

...seems practical.

(I can only make the educated guess that "fslc" = "Freescale community", 
but "fsl-community" really seems quite long).

Nikolay

Yes, "fslc" stands for FSL Community.

There are reasons behind the use of another provider, the main ones are:

 - avoid use of version pinning (PREFERRED_VERSION_...);
 - make the SoC it targets explicit;

The 3.14.28-1.0.0-GA has only been tested on the *boards* listed in
the release notes. If you take this and use it in another board, this
is not supported by Freescale.

In case you take the 3.14.28-1.0.0-GA kernel and use it in another
SoC, it is at your risk. Freescale does not test the code changes on
the other SoCs so even if some IP components are shared they were not
tested and even checked when the changes in the drivers and
architecture code were done.

In summary the linux-fslc-mx6 is now a 3.14.44 kernel which merges
3.14.28-1.0.0-GA and should ONLY be used for i.MX6 SoCs. There is no
test or check of this tree for another SoCs.

The shared tree for all SoCs are the ones we maintain based on
mainline (4.0, 4.1...) and this can be expected to work on all SoCs.
