My goal was to rely on upstreamed features as much as possible, which
means that some bits are only half-baked for now:
- Due to the DTS restructuring in upstream kernel, we require 4.11+. The
latest LTS or CIP kernels do not know about the -Base model.
- Linux has no generic support for SFP cages (yet). It seems that this
has hit the net-next tree in August 2017, but there's been no release
(it's probably targettting 4.14). Also, the merge only included the
required infrastructure; the mvneta driver conversion is not included.
Patches which finalize this exist in Russel King's tree and also in
random vendor trees.
- There's no access to the SPI flash in these versions of
uboot/linux/dts.
