<p>Hi Jim, </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We've prepared more changes in order to support thunderx but changes are based at 4.2-rc5 version. To update kernel from 4.2-rc2 to 4.2-rc5 it would take huge bunch of patches. I've rebase them to rc2 fedora tree and tested with kernel you provided (build
rpms and so on). No issues so far.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Would it be possible to apply them onto your kernel or I should rebase them to rc2 (which could be painfull) or other version ?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Vadim</p>

Have you moved to 4.2-rc3 ? If so there would be some minor conflict (apart from 4.2-rc2) which I could help to address.<br>
Just in case - I've prepared patches for 4.2-rc2.<br>

I ran into a couple applying the patchset, but I think this is mostly<br>
solvable, and due to the fact that we don't have the kernel in git yet<br>
for common patching/updates. I'll play around with it a bit more this<br>
afternoon.<br>
