Thanks for posting this series, this chip is widely used by a large number of current Amlogic devices!

Patches 1-7 have been tested on Amlogic G12B (Khadas VIM3) hardware with 5.5-rc kernel and a LibreELEC (distro) colleague also tested with a Khadas Edge board (RK3399). The Ampak 6398S module on both boards are detected and can connect to networks to pass basic functional testing.

On the VIM3 board I do see the following warning splat:

I donât see this on older Amlogic SoCs (GXL/GXM devices with various other BCM chips) or another Amlogic G12B device (same SoC with a different Ampak module) or some RK3399 devices, so it may be something board (Khadas VIM3) specific.

I also see some errors like:

Iâm not sure if thatâs of any concern, but if yes, Iâd be happy to apply any debugging patches you provide to generate output.

Thanks again for working on this chipset!
