Enable PCI_MVEBU in linux-kirkwood-dt for Excito B3?

[sakaki]

Hello,

I currently provide an Arch Linux live USB image for the Excito B3 (Kirkwood-based) miniserver (project on GitHub here). It is largely derived from the archlinuxarm.org Kirkwood image. I've recently switched to using your linux-kirkwood-dt kernel (as opposed to my custom kernel), however, because CONFIG_PCI_MVEBU is not set, users with a WiFi-enabled B3 are restricted to using the wired Ethernet ports only (everything else pretty much seems to work OK).

Would it be possible to set CONFIG_PCI_MVEBU=y in the linux-kirkwood-dt .config please (I don't think it can be built as a module)?

Many thanks!

You've confirmed adding this configuration option solves this?

Hi,

yes, I've just built a 3.19.3 where CONFIG_PCI_MVEBU=y is the only change (wrt the current linux-kirkwood-dt .config), and the B3's WiFi module comes up OK. It does not start if I revert the setting.

Would you be so kind as to put up a PR against http://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs (see contributing page) ?

Be sure to see the PKGBUILD and not edit the config by hand!

Thanks for doing that so quickly, really appreciate it ^-^

I'll pull your updated kernel into my image and re-release it today.

Best,
