Second conciseness pass per review feedback: bullets and tables over prose (vendor-SDK failings, repo layout, sim models, kernel-port rationale, QEMU scenarios), duplicated content cut (provenance pointer, scenario prose the qemu README already carries). Also fixes two stale claims in architecture.md: the flared seam unification and real-image boot both landed (flare-edge #110, PR #8) but were still marked pending.

# The Kernel Patch Series
|
|
|
|
The delta that forward-ports the vendor Rockchip 5.10.160 RV1106 support onto a
|
|
pristine upstream **linux-6.18.46**, as a reviewable, subsystem-split series. Every
|
|
patch applies cleanly onto pristine 6.18.46 (`git apply --check`), and the whole set
|
|
reproduces the 223-file / ~136K-line delta that boots and is hardware-verified on
|
|
`warden-c8a3` (see `../kernel/rv1106-enablement/`).
|
|
|
|
Build it with `../build/build-kernel.sh` (fetch pristine → apply these → configure
|
|
with `../build/warden_defconfig` → `zImage` + `rv1106-warden.dtb`).
|
|
|
|
## The Series
|

|
|
| `20-arch-dts-bindings.patch` | `arch/arm` DTs (`rv1106.dtsi`, `rv1106-warden.dts`, pinctrl), mach, configs, `include/dt-bindings` |

|
|
| `60-wifi-aic8800.patch` | out-of-tree AIC8800 wifi/BT (the 88.5K-line vendor blob) |
|
|
| `70-audio-codec.patch` | `rv1106_codec` + I2S wiring |

## License
|
|
|
|
Everything in this directory is a derivative work of the Linux kernel and of
|

GPL-2.0 vendor kernel code: **GPL-2.0-only** (or the per-file SPDX identifier

where one is present), the same license the whole repository carries.
|
|
|
|
## Provenance & regeneration
|
|
|
|
Baseline: `linux-6.18.46` from kernel.org (`build/linux-6.18.46.tar.xz.sha256`
|
|
pins the tarball). The series was generated by overlaying the hardware-verified
|
|
source tree onto pristine (build artifacts excluded) and splitting `git diff` by
|
|
subsystem. Licensing/origin of each block is tracked in
|
|
`../kernel/rv1106-enablement/PROVENANCE.md`.
|
|
|
|
Whitespace: `60-wifi-aic8800.patch` carries the vendor blob's trailing-whitespace
|
|
verbatim; `git apply --whitespace=nowarn` (the build wrapper) accepts it. Do not
|
|
re-flow vendor code — it must stay diffable against future vendor drops.
