BACKPORT change to install DT overlays via dtbs_install by vishwasudupa · Pull Request #654 · qualcomm-linux/kernel

vishwasudupa · 2026-06-04T10:14:34Z

Overlay binaries (.dtbo) are currently only built implicitly as
dependencies of composite firmware images and are therefore absent from the
kernel install output.

Even when final DTBs are produced at build time, some distributions rely on
standalone DTBOs for runtime selection and application by bootloaders or
firmware. Without explicit install targets, DTBOs are not picked up by the
standard dtbs_install flow and therefore cannot be packaged alongside DTBs.

BACKPORT change to add dtb-$(CONFIG_ARCH_QCOM) entries for all DT overlays defined in
this Makefile so they are installed via dtbs_install, matching existing
DTB install behavior.

Issues

Commit 1 - Timeline Anomaly:

⚠️ Commit date vs. lore link date mismatch: Commit authored on Fri, 3 Apr 2026 02:17:06 -0700, but lore message-ID indicates posting date of 2026-04-28 12:37:25. This suggests the commit was created ~25 days BEFORE the patch was posted to the mailing list.

Impact: This is unusual but not necessarily incorrect. Possible explanations:

Patch was developed internally first, then posted upstream later

Commit date was preserved from an earlier internal version

The cherry-pick source (7998dbf) may have the earlier date

Recommendation: Verify the timeline with the author if this matters for tracking purposes.

Network Restriction:

⚠️ Cannot fetch upstream patch from lore.kernel.org to perform byte-for-byte diff comparison due to network restrictions in this environment.

Cannot verify upstream acceptance status (merged/pending/rejected).

Verdict

Commit 1 (FROMLIST): Structurally correct with proper BACKPORT: FROMLIST: prefix, Link tag, Signed-off-by, and cherry-pick note. Diff pattern is clean and consistent. Timeline anomaly noted but not blocking. Cannot verify faithfulness to upstream due to network restrictions.

Commit 2 (QCLINUX): Correct vendor-only format with BACKPORT: QCLINUX: prefix, no Link tag (as expected), proper Signed-off-by and cherry-pick note. Diff pattern is clean and extends Commit 1's work to camx-specific overlays.

Overall: Both commits follow proper kernel commit message conventions and backport tagging. Diffs are surgical, focused, and follow consistent patterns. Merge recommended with the caveat that upstream faithfulness of Commit 1 should be verified when network access is available.

Root cause: Patch compliance checker detected two violations in the commit messages.

Failure details:

Commit 1 (3397b96fc7da):
Checking commit: BACKPORT: FROMLIST: arm64: dts: qcom: install DT overlays via dtbs_install
Change is different from the one mentioned in Link
Commit 2 (aaa651a84027):
Checking commit: BACKPORT: QCLINUX: arm64: dts: qcom: Install camx DTBO overlays
No 'Link' found in commit message
Analysis:

First commit issue: The patch claims to be a BACKPORT: FROMLIST: from the lore link https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260428123725.3457865-1-vudupa@qti.qualcomm.com, but the checker detected that the actual changes in the PR differ from what's at that upstream link. This violates the backport integrity requirement - a BACKPORT/FROMLIST commit must match the upstream patch exactly (or document intentional deviations).

Second commit issue: The commit is tagged as BACKPORT: QCLINUX: but lacks a Link: trailer entirely. QCLINUX patches should reference the internal commit they're backporting from, or if this is original work, the prefix should be different (e.g., just QCLINUX: without BACKPORT:).

Fix:

For commit 1:

If the patch truly matches the FROMLIST version, verify the lore link is correct and the checker may have a false positive

If changes were intentionally modified during backport, document the delta in the commit message (e.g., "[ Upstream commit abc123 with modifications: ... ]")

If this is actually a different patch, update the Link: to point to the correct upstream source

For commit 2:

Add a Link: trailer pointing to the original QCLINUX commit being backported (format: Link: <internal-commit-url> or (cherry picked from commit <sha>))

OR if this is new work (not a backport), remove the BACKPORT: prefix and use just QCLINUX: instead

Reproduce locally:
cd /path/to/kernel
git fetch origin pull/654/head:pr-654
git checkout pr-654
../kernel-checkers/check-patch-compliance.sh --kernel-src . --base <base-sha> --head aaa651a84027b82053e4bcec0081dc33decb3359
Verdict

2 blockers must be fixed before merge: Both commits violate patch compliance rules. The first commit's changes don't match its claimed upstream source, and the second commit is missing required Link metadata for a BACKPORT-tagged commit.

arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/Makefile ⚠️ Cannot verify against upstream - network restricted

Issues

Network restriction: Unable to fetch upstream patch from lore.kernel.org to verify diff faithfulness

Cherry-pick SHA: Commit 7998dbf1695da00ef7a54c3fe90328e251400c90 referenced but cannot verify if it exists in any upstream tree

Overall Assessment

Verdict

⚠️ PARTIAL PASS - Commits are well-formed but upstream verification blocked by network restrictions.

Reasoning:

Both commits follow proper kernel commit message format

FROMLIST commit has proper lore link and cherry-pick trailer

QCLINUX commit correctly marked as vendor-only

Diff patterns are consistent and logical (adding .dtbo install targets)

Cannot verify: Diff faithfulness to upstream due to network restrictions

Recommendation: Merge conditionally - manual verification of lore link required by reviewer with network access.

Technical Analysis

Commit 1: FROMLIST patch

Change pattern: Adds 18 .dtbo install targets to arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/Makefile

Pattern: Each .dtbo file already has a composite target (e.g., foo-dtbs := base.dtb overlay.dtbo) and a composite install target (dtb-$(CONFIG_ARCH_QCOM) += foo.dtb). This patch adds standalone .dtbo install targets.

Commit 2: QCLINUX patch

Change pattern: Adds 10 camx-specific .dtbo install targets

talos-evk-camx.dtbo

Pattern: Identical to commit 1 - adds standalone .dtbo install targets for Qualcomm-specific camx overlays.

Observations

Strengths

✅ Consistent commit message format across both commits

✅ Proper use of FROMLIST vs QCLINUX prefixes

✅ Cherry-pick trailers present on both commits

✅ Clear problem/solution description in commit 1

✅ Logical separation: upstream-bound changes in commit 1, vendor-only in commit 2

✅ Diff patterns are clean and follow Makefile conventions

Concerns

⚠️ Cannot verify upstream diff - network restrictions prevent lore.kernel.org access

⚠️ Future-dated lore link - Link points to 2026-04-28, but current date is 2026-06-17; suggests patch may have been posted after this PR was created (unusual workflow)

⚠️ Cherry-pick SHAs unverifiable - Cannot confirm commits 7998dbf1695da00ef7a54c3fe90328e251400c90 and abfeee71ec2257a591930d301f965151539d1380 exist in any tree

Recommendations for Reviewer

Manually verify lore link resolves and matches commit 1 diff

Check if cherry-pick SHAs exist in the target integration branch

Verify FROMLIST patch has not yet been merged upstream (check mainline)

Confirm camx overlays in commit 2 are Qualcomm-specific and not upstream-bound

❌ check-patch-compliance

Root cause: Two distinct compliance violations detected by the check-patch-compliance checker.

Failure details:

Commit 1 (7eec426):
Checking commit: FROMLIST: arm64: dts: qcom: install DT overlays via dtbs_install
Change is different from the one mentioned in Link
The patch claims to be from the lore link https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260428123725.3457865-1-vudupa@qti.qualcomm.com but the actual diff in the PR does not match what was posted to the mailing list. The checker validates that FROMLIST patches are faithful to their upstream source.

Commit 2 (aa95d42):
Checking commit: QCLINUX: arm64: dts: qcom: Install camx DTBO overlays
Commit summary does not start with a required prefix
The commit uses QCLINUX: prefix but the checker expects one of the standard prefixes. For Qualcomm-specific downstream changes that are not intended for upstream, the correct prefix should be one of: FROMGIT:, BACKPORT:, FROMLIST:, UPSTREAM:, or a subsystem-specific prefix like arm64: dts: qcom:.

Fix:

For commit 1 (FROMLIST patch):

Verify the lore link is correct and accessible

Compare the PR patch against the actual upstream patch at the lore link

Either:

Update the patch to exactly match the upstream version (if it was modified), OR

Update the Link: tag to point to the correct upstream version, OR

If this is a modified version of an upstream patch, change the prefix from FROMLIST: to BACKPORT: and document the changes

For commit 2 (QCLINUX patch):

Since this is Qualcomm-specific downstream code (camx overlays), change the subject prefix from QCLINUX: to arm64: dts: qcom: to match kernel subsystem conventions

Alternatively, if this is based on an upstream or mailing list patch, use the appropriate prefix (FROMLIST:, UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:, FROMGIT:)

Reproduce locally:
cd /path/to/kernel
git fetch origin qcom-6.18.y
git checkout qcom-6.18.y
# Apply your PR commits
bash /path/to/kernel-checkers/check-patch-compliance.sh --kernel-src . --base <base-sha> --head <head-sha>
Verdict

2 blockers must be fixed before merge: FROMLIST patch content mismatch and QCLINUX prefix violation in check-patch-compliance.

Issues

Cannot verify diff faithfulness: Network restrictions prevent fetching upstream patch from lore.kernel.org for byte-by-byte comparison

Lore link date anomaly: Link references April 28, 2026, but commit date is April 3, 2026 (commit predates posting by 25 days — unusual but possible if link was added retroactively)

Verdict

Commit message structure and diff pattern are correct. However, cannot confirm diff matches upstream due to network restrictions. Manual verification against lore.kernel.org required.

Commit 1 (FROMLIST)

Lore link present: Yes — https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260428123725.3457865-1-vudupa@qti.qualcomm.com

Lore link matches PR commits: Cannot verify — network restrictions prevent fetching upstream patch for comparison

Upstream patch status: Unknown — cannot query lore.kernel.org; link date (2026-04-28) suggests patch was posted upstream

PR present in qcom-next: Not checked — no kernel tree access per constraints

Commit 2 (QCLINUX)

Lore link present: No — QCLINUX: prefix; no lore link expected or required

Lore link matches PR commits: N/A — no lore link to compare against

Upstream patch status: N/A — vendor-only change, not posted upstream

PR present in qcom-next: Not checked — QCLINUX: vendor-only commit

Overall Recommendation

⚠️ CONDITIONAL APPROVAL

Commit 2 (QCLINUX): ✅ Ready to merge — properly formatted vendor-only commit

Commit 1 (FROMLIST): ⚠️ Requires manual verification:

Fetch upstream patch from lore.kernel.org when network is available

Verify diff matches upstream byte-for-byte (ignoring context line differences)

Confirm upstream acceptance status (merged/pending/rejected)

Investigate commit date vs. lore posting date discrepancy (commit: 2026-04-03, link: 2026-04-28)

Action items:

Manually verify Commit 1 against https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260428123725.3457865-1-vudupa@qti.qualcomm.com/raw

Check if upstream patch has been accepted into mainline or linux-next

If upstream differs, update PR to match upstream exactly

If upstream was rejected or requires changes, update FROMLIST commit accordingly

❌ check-patch-compliance

Root cause: Two distinct compliance violations detected by the patch compliance checker

Failure details:

Issue 1 — Commit 1 (733fa0c):
Checking commit: FROMLIST: arm64: dts: qcom: install DT overlays via dtbs_install
Change is different from the one mentioned in Link
The checker fetched the upstream patch from the lore.kernel.org link (https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260428123725.3457865-1-vudupa@qti.qualcomm.com) and found that the diff in the PR does not match the upstream version byte-for-byte. This indicates the FROMLIST commit has been modified from its upstream posting.

Issue 2 — Commit 2 (3565a31):
Checking commit: QCLINUX: arm64: dts: qcom: Install camx DTBO overlays
Commit summary does not start with a required prefix
The second commit uses QCLINUX: prefix, but the checker expects one of the standard prefixes. Based on Qualcomm Linux kernel conventions, vendor-only commits should typically use prefixes like:

ANDROID: for Android-specific changes

CHROMEOS: for ChromeOS-specific changes

Or subsystem-specific prefixes for vendor changes

The QCLINUX: prefix is not recognized as a valid prefix by the compliance checker.

Fix:

For Commit 1:

Verify the upstream patch at the lore link matches your intent

If upstream was updated after initial posting, either:

Update the Link tag to point to the correct version (e.g., v2, v3)

Or rebase your commit to match the exact upstream diff

If you intentionally modified the upstream patch, this should be a separate vendor commit, not FROMLIST

For Commit 2:
Replace QCLINUX: with an appropriate prefix. Options:

If this is Android-specific: ANDROID: arm64: dts: qcom: Install camx DTBO overlays

If this is a general vendor addition: Use subsystem prefix like arm64: dts: qcom: Install camx DTBO overlays (no vendor prefix)

Check with your team's commit message guidelines for the correct vendor prefix

Reproduce locally:
# Clone kernel-checkers
git clone https://github.com/qualcomm-linux/kernel-checkers.git

# Run check-patch-compliance on your branch
cd kernel-checkers
bash check-patch-compliance.sh --kernel-src /path/to/kernel \
  --base <base-commit> --head <pr-head-commit>
Verdict

2 blockers must be fixed before merge:

Commit 1: FROMLIST diff must exactly match upstream lore posting

Commit 2: Replace QCLINUX: prefix with a recognized vendor/subsystem prefix

Diff Analysis

File Status Notes

arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/Makefile ✅ +18 lines: adds dtb-$(CONFIG_ARCH_QCOM) entries for .dtbo files

Pattern: Each .dtbo file gets its own dtb-$(CONFIG_ARCH_QCOM) += <name>.dtbo line immediately after the corresponding composite .dtb entry. Consistent with Makefile conventions.

Files affected: 18 DTBO overlays across multiple platforms (apq8016, lemans, monaco, qcs615, qcs6490, qcs8300, qcs9100, qrb5165, sc7180, sc8280xp, sdm845, sm8650, talos, x1/x1p).

Issues

⚠️ Date mismatch: Commit date is Fri, 3 Apr 2026 but lore message-ID indicates 20260428 (April 28, 2026). The commit appears to predate the upstream posting by 25 days, which is unusual for a FROMLIST patch.

⚠️ Cannot verify upstream diff: Network access restricted; unable to fetch lore patch to confirm diff faithfulness.

Verdict

Conditional approval — Commit message structure and diff pattern are correct. However, the date discrepancy suggests this may be a forward-ported or rebased version of a patch that was posted upstream later. Recommend verifying:

The lore link actually exists and matches this diff

Whether this is the correct upstream version or if there were revisions

Diff Analysis

File Status Notes

arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/Makefile ✅ +10 lines: adds dtb-$(CONFIG_ARCH_QCOM) entries for camx .dtbo files

Pattern: Identical to commit 1 — adds explicit install targets for camx-specific DTBO overlays.

Files affected: 10 camx DTBO overlays (hamoa, lemans, monaco, qcs5430, qcs615, qcs6490, qcs8300, sa8775p, talos).

Issues

None detected.

Verdict

Approve — Well-formed vendor commit that extends commit 1's pattern to Qualcomm-specific camx overlays.

Final Summary

Lore link present: Yes (commit 1 only) — https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260428123725.3457865-1-vudupa@qti.qualcomm.com

Lore link matches PR commits: Cannot verify — Network access restricted; unable to fetch upstream patch for comparison. Date mismatch (commit Apr 3 vs. message-ID Apr 28) raises questions about version alignment.

Upstream patch status: Unknown — Cannot check lore.kernel.org due to network restrictions. The FROMLIST prefix indicates it was posted for review but acceptance status is unverified.

PR present in qcom-next: Not checked — No kernel tree access per constraints.

Recommendations

Commit 1 (FROMLIST):

⚠️ Action required: Verify the lore link is valid and the diff matches upstream exactly

⚠️ Action required: Explain the date discrepancy (commit dated Apr 3, lore message-ID dated Apr 28)

If this is a rebased/updated version, consider whether the message-ID should be updated or if a note should be added

Commit 2 (QCLINUX):

✅ Ready to merge as-is

Overall: The technical content and structure of both commits are sound. The primary concern is verifying commit 1's upstream alignment given the date anomaly and network restrictions preventing direct comparison.

Root cause: Two distinct compliance violations detected by the patch compliance checker.

Failure details:

Issue 1 - Commit 733fa0c (FROMLIST patch):
Checking commit: FROMLIST: arm64: dts: qcom: install DT overlays via dtbs_install
Change is different from the one mentioned in Link
The first commit claims to be FROMLIST: and references:
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260428123725.3457865-1-vudupa@qti.qualcomm.com
However, the checker detected that the actual patch content differs from what was posted to the mailing list at that Link. This violates the FROMLIST policy which requires patches to match their upstream submission exactly.

Issue 2 - Commit 4dfa321 (QCLINUX patch):
Checking commit: QCLINUX: arm64: dts: qcom: add camx dtbo overlays
Commit summary does not start with a required prefix
The second commit uses QCLINUX: prefix, but this is not a valid prefix for the qcom-6.18.y branch. Valid prefixes for this branch are:

UPSTREAM: - for patches already merged in mainline

FROMLIST: - for patches posted to mailing lists but not yet merged

BACKPORT: - for patches backported from newer kernel versions

Fix:

For Issue 1 (FROMLIST mismatch):

Verify the lore link is correct: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260428123725.3457865-1-vudupa@qti.qualcomm.com

Either:

Update the patch to match exactly what was sent to the mailing list, OR

Update the Link: tag to point to the correct version, OR

If this is a modified version, change prefix from FROMLIST: to BACKPORT: or another appropriate prefix

For Issue 2 (invalid QCLINUX prefix):

Replace QCLINUX: with a valid prefix:

If this is Qualcomm-specific and not going upstream: Remove the prefix entirely or use BACKPORT: if based on an upstream patch

If this will be submitted upstream: Use FROMLIST: and add a Link: tag

If already merged upstream: Use UPSTREAM: and add a Link: tag

Reproduce locally:
cd /path/to/kernel
git fetch origin pull/654/head:pr-654
git checkout qcom-6.18.y
git merge --no-commit pr-654

  --base 360986b713f88d182fb17fdf5decedf665a77834 \
  --head HEAD
Verdict

2 blockers must be fixed before merge:

FROMLIST patch content must match the lore.kernel.org link, or the prefix/link must be corrected

QCLINUX prefix must be replaced with a valid prefix (UPSTREAM/FROMLIST/BACKPORT or removed)

Overlay binaries (.dtbo) are currently only built implicitly as dependencies of composite firmware images and are therefore absent from the kernel install output. Even when final DTBs are produced at build time, some distributions rely on standalone DTBOs for runtime selection and application by bootloaders or firmware. Without explicit install targets, DTBOs are not picked up by the standard dtbs_install flow and therefore cannot be packaged alongside DTBs. Add explicit dtb-$(CONFIG_ARCH_QCOM) entries for all DT overlays defined in this Makefile so they are installed via dtbs_install, matching existing DTB install behaviour.

Issues

Lore link dated in future: Link shows 20260428 (April 28, 2026) but current date is June 18, 2026. The link returns empty content, suggesting either:

The patch was never posted to lore

✅ PASS - Properly formatted vendor-only commit with QCLINUX: prefix.

Overall Issues

Commit 1/2 lore link verification failed: The provided lore.kernel.org link dated April 28, 2026 returns no content. This raises concerns:

Was this patch actually submitted upstream?

Is the message-ID correct?

Should this use FROMLIST: instead of BACKPORT:?

BACKPORT vs FROMLIST: If the patch hasn't been accepted upstream yet, it should use FROMLIST: prefix, not BACKPORT:. BACKPORT: implies the patch is already in an upstream tree (mainline, stable, or subsystem maintainer tree).

No upstream commit SHA: A proper BACKPORT should reference the upstream commit SHA in the commit message (e.g., "commit abc123def456 upstream" or similar).

Overall Verdict

⚠️ PARTIAL - Commit 2/2 is acceptable as vendor-only. Commit 1/2 requires clarification:

Verify the lore link is correct

Confirm upstream acceptance status

If not yet accepted, change BACKPORT: to FROMLIST:

If accepted, add upstream commit SHA reference

❌ check-patch-compliance

Root cause: Two compliance violations detected by the patch compliance checker

Failure details:

Commit 1 (934e5dd): BACKPORT: arm64: dts: qcom: install DT overlays via dtbs_install
Change is different from the one mentioned in Link
The checker compared the patch content against the upstream patch at https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260428123725.3457865-1-vudupa@qti.qualcomm.com and found differences. This indicates the BACKPORT is not a faithful cherry-pick of the upstream commit.

Commit 2 (dd53524): QCLINUX: arm64: dts: qcom: add camx dtbo overlays
Commit summary does not start with a required prefix
The commit uses QCLINUX: prefix, but the checker expects one of the standard prefixes for the qcom-6.18.y branch. Valid prefixes typically include:

UPSTREAM: - for commits already merged in mainline

FROMLIST: - for commits posted to mailing lists but not yet merged

BACKPORT: - for modified backports of upstream commits

No prefix - for original downstream-only changes (but subject must follow kernel style)

Fix:

For Commit 1 (BACKPORT):

Verify the upstream patch at the Link URL matches your changes exactly

If the patch differs from upstream, either:

Update the patch to match upstream exactly, OR

Remove the BACKPORT: prefix and the Link: tag if this is a modified version

If this is truly a backport, ensure you cherry-picked the exact upstream commit without modifications

For Commit 2 (QCLINUX):

Remove the QCLINUX: prefix from the subject line

The subject should be: arm64: dts: qcom: add camx dtbo overlays

Since this appears to be downstream-only work (adding Qualcomm-specific camx overlays), no prefix is needed

Alternatively, if these overlays were posted upstream, use FROMLIST: prefix and add a Link: tag

Reproduce locally:
cd /path/to/kernel
git fetch origin qcom-6.18.y
git checkout qcom-6.18.y
git fetch origin pull/654/head:pr-654
git merge pr-654 --no-commit

Verdict

2 blockers must be fixed before merge: The BACKPORT commit must either match its upstream Link exactly or be reclassified, and the QCLINUX commit needs its prefix removed or changed to a valid prefix (FROMLIST/UPSTREAM/BACKPORT or none).
