No, but most people running this kind of hardware tend not to upgrade to current
kernels on a regular basis.

The j-core guys tested the 5.3 release. I can't find an email about 5.4 so I
dunno if that's been tested yet?

I just tested yesterday's git and it works fine with
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1912.0/01554.html installed, modulo it
_still_ has the suprious stack dump shortly before calling init, which I've
complained about on linux-sh and off for a year now?

But it's cosmetic...

I haven't got one of the new Turtle boards yet (next time I visit Japan...) and
the USB connector broke off my old one, so I haven't got test hardware in my bag
to boot it on with me at this coffee shop. So just qemu testing at the moment.
The actual j-core deployment environment I'm working on this month is a deeply
embedded thing with 128k sram so isn't running Linux. :)
