Bug#995407: linux: Please enable CONFIG_MHI_BUS_PCI_GENERIC and CONFIG_MHI_NET
Source: linux
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: asedeno@mit.edu
Dear Maintainers,
The 5.7 kernel added support for the Modem Host Interface (MHI) bus,
and the 5.11 kernel added MHI network device drivers supporting some
new WWAN devices. The 5.13 kernel (among others) continues to add
additional device support. To take advantage of them, we should
enable (as modules) the following config options:
- CONFIG_MHI_BUS_PCI_GENERIC (v5.11+)
- CONFIG_MHI_NET (v5.12+)
- WWAN (enabled by CONFIG_MHI_NET) (v5.13+)
I'm currently running a kernel pulled from unstable and have compiled
these modules myself, but it would be nice to not have to do that
moving forward.
Given stable (bullseye) is on 5.10 for the foreseeable future, and
testing (bookworm) is already on 5.14, I would not worry about any
config changes for anything before 5.14.
Thanks,
-Alejandro
