Import ntp 4.2.8 from meta-networking. Our version has some weird
dependency issues that create build breakages and more.
Remove the pps-tools dependency compared to meta-networking and
leave the ntp.conf as doneby Harald (e.g. drift on /etc and not
in /var...). Now I have not verified the upgrade path but I sadly
merged testing to stable when the ntp changes were comitted on
monday. This means I can't easily test the upgrade.
This new version of ntp has quite a number of changes, e.g.
certain utilities requiring perl, and some programs are now in
/usr/sbin rather than /usr/bin.
I edited the config through make menuconfig and then used
savedefconfig but the diff from our config to a minimal
defconfig is too big. So I enabled the temp sensors and i2c
by hand.
Fixes: SYS#1148
For the V-ODU we want to have vlan support as well. This requires
to use the debian ifupdown which means we need a script that creates
/run/network early enough.
On eth1 we should also use a network from the 172.16 block rather than
the 10.23 that we used on the sysmoBSC
Also, we now use 172.16.4.0/23 natively on the bridged onboard network,
this is a temporary measure so existing JBs will still connect and get
an IP address before their software is updated to use VLAN6. After they
(and all APs, BTSs, etc.) have migrated, the 172.16.4.0/23 can be
removed.
For systemd and the Debian ifupdown application we need to
have the /run/network directory. The debian init file is
creating it on the fly and we should do the same for now.
* needed to copy over the oe-core kernel-module classes
and modify them because there was no other way to use them and
name the packages kernel-module-backports

This means that currently only Yocto Dora and Yocto Master are
being targeted. The amount of maintenance to get it to work on
Edison again is too high and it is better to focus on a systemd
only world. Remove the symlinks for yocto-edison.
A quick look and some notes from henning pointed me to wget
which is in the default layers, the sysmobts-2050 which is now
handle dby sysmobts and some older notes that are unlikely
to be addressed.
Okay "make modules" will lead to the kernel.release file
being re-created. So kernel.bbclass of Yocto master needs
to be fixed.
This reverts commit 3cdbc49cbb.
Somehow the do_shared_workdir tries to access a file that
should be created by do_configure but isn't present then.
Add these items to see what happens during the build.
We want to use backported modules this means we need to make
some thing a module for it to work. Take Daniel's .config file,
run make savedefconfig and update our defconfig.

Go back to have our own do_configure. The kernel.bbclass would
execute "oldnoconfig" where we simply executed "oldconfig". Keep
on using our old way (for the legacy of it). E.g. with the question
how we ended up having SMP enabled in the BSC build this might
be the answer.
OE-Core seems to unpack the kernel sources into another
directory now (e.g. to share the sources with builds for
modules). Use the kernel.bbclass kernel_do_configure and
copy the .config to the build directory.
The kernel is now built in a dedicated build directory.
We actually only use the PMIC (TPS65910) RTC in the hardware,
and not the AM335x RTC. Having a driver for a hardware that doesn't
receive actual backup voltage doesn't make sense.
The odu-gpiotool is a small script created by roh to selectively reset
individual peripherals of the system by the administrator. It originates
from ticket https://projects.sysmocom.de/ortelius/issues/655
We use the new sysfs file to obtain the board version number and
configure the port swapping accordingly. If the board_version sysfs
attribute is not present, we default to v2.
We also integrate resetting the hub chip from within this tool right
befeore writing the new register values via I2C.
* split out rtl-nic firmware from the big
linux-firmware package
[hfreyther: For whatever reasons the NIC works without
additional firmware as well. I couldn't see in the driver
source when that is the case and which features are missing]
Fixes: SYS#732
[hfreyther: I removed the MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS as applications
that use the symlinks should rdepend on the package]
[hfreyther: Changed mismatch of tabs/spaces]
We want to enable the watchdog in the bootloader already and
for this to be failsafe we need to have a kernel that can boot
and get ethernet without any additional modules. Now systemd
would not be able to trigger the watchdog and the system would
reboot within 60 seconds. I am not sure how the kernel upgrade
will go and we need to try this.
