[SEABIOS] Plans for either 1.9.1 or 1.10.0?

[Ian Campbell]

Hello,

The xen.git development branch currently points to SeaBIOS rel-1.9.0, but
Roger has tripped over a build issue which is fixed by 3b8c5378dfe2 "build:
fix typo in buildversion.py".

Is there any plan for either a 1.9.1 or a 1.10.0 in the near future which
would include this, so I can roll forward to that?

Or if not a 1.9.1 release perhaps for now just a 1.9-stable branch could be
created?

No problem if not, we'll just track master for a bit until there is a
release.

Thanks,
Ian.

1.10 will take a while ...

1.9-stable created now, with the patch above cherry-picked.

Doing 1.9.1 soonish (next week maybe) is fine with me.  If someone would
like to see other patches backported to 1.9-stable please speak up now.

cheers,
  Gerd

Well, that was easy, thanks ;-).

For now I'll propose that Xen's tracks 1.9-stable so there is no enormous
hurry for a 1.9.1 for me (not that a release isn't always nice).

Thanks,
Ian.

There were a bunch of fixes that I think should be considered for 1.9.1:

aa34e4e5 - xhci: Check for device disconnects during USB2 reset polling
c01b41c5 - xhci: Wait for port enable even for USB3 devices
460e9aac - sdcard: Only enable error_irq_enable for bits defined in SDHCI v1 spec
8f7dc5ab - sdcard: fix typo causing 32bit write to 16bit block_size field
0c5a6077 - nmi: Don't try to switch onto extra stack in NMI handler
82f32797 - scsi: Do not call printf() from scsi_is_ready()
3e8d75f3 - coreboot: Check for unaligned cbfs header

Look all reasonable to me, cherry-picked them.

It's been suggested (by you :)) that
76327b9f32a009245c215f4a3c5d58a01b5310ae be cherry-picked into 1.9.1 as
well, perhaps.

Just raising it here, should you have forgotten. Also copying Marcel.

Thanks
