Yes, that actually came from ESWIN's hifive-premier-p550_defconfig which I disabled now.

Yes.

Ah, that one helped (;-p).

BTW: For CPU frequency scaling to actually work one may additionally need CONFIG_RISCV_SBI_CPUIDLE=y.

Yes, I also changed that from =m to =y (;-p).

Yes, it all works now perfectly incl. CPU frequency scaling. See [1].

Next one would be working PCIe and USB. Unfortunately, for PCIe on EBC77 one would likely need some sort of an
adapter cable/PCB. Maybe I can solder something together. Let's see...

Thank you very much!
