Cool, thanks for testing, i guess we can change NT to OK in the chipset_enable.
Yes.
About the "Bad board" list. A bad board is not like lepracy from before medicine advanced enough. When a board is added, it is not banished to some forsaken island to rot for the rest of its life. It is added to the
Sure.
known bad list in part to warn users and in part to spur developers on to do something about it. So we need to require an email address before adding a board to this list.
It shouldn't be strictly required, though it's definately recommended, yes.
For instance, I've seen flashrom logs (-r, -wv, -E, etc) together with their output on some blogs, wikis, mailing lists etc. which are sometimes enough to tell if the board is working OK or not (e.g. requires chipset-enable or board-enable). For these external "scraped" pages we might not be able to find an email address, but it's still useful to add such a tested non-working board to our list until some user shows up in IRC/ML and helps us supporting the board.
But yes, in general, we should record who tested a certain board as OK/BAD, if possible with email address.
I think the only reasonable thing to do is to:
- mark the a7n8x deluxe as tested ok.
- remove the a7n8x-e deluxe from the known bad list, but not add it as
tested ok.
That's fine, yes. Removing it from the BAD list is ok, but we should not add it to the OK list, indeed.
Please feel free to commit.
