Preparing the repo to go public (ADR-0007):
- CI: kernel-build moves from the self-hosted runner to ubuntu-latest
(installs its own cross toolchain + qemu, caches the pristine tarball).
On a public repo a registered self-hosted runner is reachable from
approved fork-PR workflows — i.e. arbitrary code on private
infrastructure — and the build never actually needed the SDK host.
ADR-0004 marked superseded-in-part; docs/ci-cd.md rewritten (site
specifics now live only in the private deployment log).
- Licensing: LICENSE gains the GPL-2.0 carve-out for patches/ and the
kernel source excerpts (Linux derivatives; per-driver provenance was
already tracked in PROVENANCE.md); patches/README.md states it too.
- Scrubbed from the tip: bench-unit dev credentials and its gadget IP
(m2-boot notes), the site AP SSID+BSSID and a neighboring AP's BSSID
and the device WLAN MAC (wifi bring-up evidence — BSSIDs are
geolocatable), the runner mesh IP. NOTE: these remain in git history;
decision on a pre-publication history rewrite is separate.
- Emoji cleanup across 21 tracked files (kernel port docs, review report,
enforce-mcdc.sh) per repo text conventions: status marks became
[x]/[wip]/[ ]/OK plain text.
- "[maintainer]-gated" process phrasing normalized to "maintainer-gated"
(attributions in dated evidence docs kept).
Verified: zero emojis tracked; scrub grep clean; patches carry no internal
references; ci.yml parses; shellcheck unchanged.

Adding the eMMC dw_mmc node (mmc@ffa90000, clocks from cru + grf_cru) was all M3
needed. On warden-c8a3 the 6.18 kernel enumerates the eMMC at HS200
(mmcblk0 8GTF4R 7.28 GiB), mounts the ext4 rootfs, runs /sbin/init, and starts
every WardenOS daemon. Serial root login confirms:
Linux warden-c8a3 6.18.46 armv7l
ps: warden-flared warden-modbus warden-mikrotik warden-asic warden-ui warden-flight
Expected M4/M5 gaps are clean failures: the 5.10 aic8800 wifi/BT .ko won't load on
6.18 (vermagic), and no backlight/framebuffer yet (no VOP node). Next: M4 display,
M5 AIC8800 SDIO port, M6 the rest; plus a lean defconfig + Buildroot-on-6.18.

The Linux 6.18.46 forward-port boots on the panel through our ported drivers,
verified on the serial console: earlycon, arch timer (BogoMIPS calibrated), our
clk-rv1106 CRU, pinctrl, and the mainline 8250 bound to uart2 clocked by our CRU
(ttyS2 16550A), then rootfs mount.
Two DT fixes got it past "Starting kernel":
- fdt placed high (load=0x08000000) so the bloated multi_v7 zImage (~20 MiB
decompressed) stops overrunning the DTB at 0xc00000 (was: r2=0, "invalid dtb").
- added the rockchip,rv1106-grf-cru node (grf-clock-controller child of grf) so
clk-rv1106's grf_ctx isn't NULL (was: panic in rockchip_clk_register_branches).
Console pinned to 115200 (readable on the CP2102 bench adapter; prod uses 1.5M).
The boot-image format and the A/B _b-slot safe-test method (which auto-reverted to
_a on every failed attempt) are in docs/m2-boot-on-c8a3.md. M3 next: lean defconfig
+ dw_mmc DT + our Buildroot userspace rebuilt on 6.18.

Per [maintainer]: forward-port the RV1106 SoC enablement from the vendor 5.10 tree to
6.18 LTS ourselves (no plan44), on our Buildroot. Verified mainline has ZERO
RV1106 support, so this is a whole-BSP port. docs/bringup.md = the console-first
milestone plan + method (sibling-delta from rv1126/rv1108, which exist in both
trees). M1 (clk driver) underway: gcc-8.3 builds 6.18; wired CLK_RV1106; ported
55 CRU macros + the panic_notifier header split + the armclk signature change
(flagged PORT-VERIFY for the CPU-mux, TRM-check needed). Captured in
rv1106-enablement/. Honest: first of ~120 files; multi-month effort.
