Linux dev-4.19

Wed Dec 12 23:05:25 AEDT 2018

Hi Joel,

First, I like to apologize that there is many patches of NPCM to add, so it
look quite messy...

After adding the below our customers could use (in most cases) OpenBMC
linux tree and not Nuvoton Linux tree.

We have the following patches to add:

·         Patches already have accepted.

·         Patches on upstream process.

·         PCI Mailbox patches - The PCI mail box will not upstream, because
it not build with the mailbox driver interface,

but still OpenBMC have an application to use the miscellaneous mailbox but
still OpenBMC have an application

to use the miscellaneous mailbox.

·         ETHERNET MAC CONTROLLER (EMC) patches – the patches is on final
stage of upstream work, but it is very important to us that the patches will

add now because costumer requests that are using the OpenBMC linux.

·         Device tree and defconfig patches – in our github it is a bunch
of patches, so I prefer to send you one patch to each topic.

I will start to send device tree update to Rob soon.
