For people who have am335x computers - e.g. beagle device

Hi All,

I've just done a new kernel for the various Beagle boards - basically for am333x devices.

I've pushed it back to Arch Linux - so it will have to be accepted, and then processed before pushing it out to all of you - but its on its way!

I've remove the firmware package for two reasons:
[*] Its huge so well worth removing
[*] It has nothing in it used on this device, under other it has some mali stuff in it - but the am335x doesn't use mali - so it not need needed.

I've tested it on both a beagle board black, and a pocket beagle - and both works.

Its version 6.18.1 btw,

David.

Minor problem in the commit, the device tree blobs compiled don't have symbols, this means that you can't apply overlays to them, Just looking how to fix as part compile ...

I've just pushed an update to the 6.19.6 kernel for am3xx devices.

The problem with overlays was lack of symbols in the dtb. As part of the inversitagtion here - it turned out that the overlays we have been using are years out of date. So I've updated to modern overlays with symbols compiled in. As part of this I've moved the overlays into /boot/dtbs/overlays - which is a more logical location for these. So anyone using overlays will need to move their scripts to the new location.

All of the patches were examined, some didn't apply, So were not relevant to beagle devices. So this means less patches applies, and not tied to the debian patches for arm hf. This also means can just straight to latest released kernel.

This has been tested on both pocket beagle and beagle bone black.
