Hi, thanks for your work, having "out of the box" support on other ARM
devices I think would be a great thing.
I unfortunately saw years ago when I tried several ARM devices for work,
before choosing what to use for thin clients that the support was
lacking and it took me a long time to prepare a system to use
In recent years I've seen more interest in integrating upstream (mainly
the kernel) and having more support in distributions to make it easier
and faster for users to use them
A first step is enable it in the kernel as you saw, add in stable
version is not possible FWIK but should be added in unstable before
(later, once added and migrated to testing, it will instead be possible
to have it in the backports), if it will be added before the approaching
freeze there is a chance it will be added in debian 12
looking at latest version of kernel packaging for experimental in arm64
config about renesas boards seems not present and I don't see an MR for
add it: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux
probably can be useful see other contacts related to ARM port (mailing
list, irc, debian developers working on arm on debian) here:
https://www.debian.org/ports/arm/
I'm not a maintainer of the ARM part, kernel, bootloader and installer
but I hope you will be able to find someone who can help you and that we
can have a further improvement in the ARM devices support
