Hi All,

I created a Tabor patch for the stable kernel 5.2 today. After that I compiled the stable kernel 5.2.11 for the Tabor board.

Download: linux-image-5.2.11-A1222.tar.gz

Please test it.

Could you also test it with all device tree blobs?

Downloads:

• tabor2.dtb: linux-image-5.3-rc7-X1000_X5000_A1222.tar.gz (Old dtb file included in the RC7 package)
• tabor3.dtb: Tabor_device_tree_blob_0.3.tar.gz (This was built from a reduced dts file. There were some dublicated entries because of external included source files)
• tabor4.dtb: tabor4.dtb (without "fsl,eloplus-dma-channel" support)

Thanks,
Christian
