Hi,

(please make sure to CC: the linux-sunxi mailing list on Allwinner
related patches)

I do hope that this whole patch is unnecessary, as Marc pointed out, but
just for the records some comments for future reference, since this
patch seems either premature or out of place.

"sun55iw3" is a CPU die identifier only used in Allwinner's BSP
kernels, mainline uses a different naming scheme.

Also the erratum name looks odd, at the very least I'd expect it to
read "ALLWINNER_ERRATUM_00001" or something. But there is already some
Allwinner timer erratum, which we boldly gave ID 1 (short of an
official erratum number from Allwinner), so using the same number again
will surely lead to confusion.

"default ARCH_SUNXI" would be better suited here, I think.

You cannot reference a compatible name here that is not documented in
the bindings. Which brings us to the elephant in the room: there is no
upstream support for this SoC (family) yet. I have some
work-in-progress series [1], but it's far from finished, mostly blocked
by the lack of hackable hardware (hopefully fixed soon).

So what kernel is this patch supposed to be applied against? You would
need at least a pinctrl and clock driver for even basic operation, none
of that I have seen posted.

Cheers,
Andre
