Hi Stephen,

I have been working on getting the OpenRISC backlog of fixes sorted out for upstream. Can this branch be added to linux-next?

git://github.com/openrisc/linux.git for-next

These have been through a few reviews and we plan to ask Linus to pull in the next merge window.

Hi,

I see that you have updated MAINTAINERS. Good.

Does openRISC support VGA console?
I tried to send a patch to Jason a few days ago.
Please look at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=147968525011508&w=2
(or I can resend it if you wish).

The kbuild test bot has been reporting this build error for several
months. If my fix is wrong, please submit something else.

Hi Randy,

I was watching that thread, I honestly thought it would have been pulled in by one of the console maintainers.

Openrisc does not have support for vga console, some people may have hacked something together, but its not in our kernel yet. So I have no issue disabling it in the build.

I will pull it in to my branch.

If someone else pulls,
