Hello,
Thank you for the help. We are going to look into sysfs / debugfs as
soon as we have time.
I tried with this and result was the same, BD71847 was not probed:
[ 0.000000] Kernel command line: console=ttyO0,115200n8 root=/dev/nfs
rw nfsroot=192.168.255.126:/home/user01/nfs,nfsvers=3
ip=192.168.255.1:192.168.255.126::255.255.255.0:bbb1:eth0 nfsrootdebug
fw_devlink=no
With todays linux-next the BD71847 got probed; I assume the changes got
dropped for the moment.
