google-crosshatch: switch to LineageOS kernel, enable /dev/mem
Tested on crosshatch.
- still boots into plasma-mobile.
- /dev/mem works. (Tested with a statically linked busybox with devmem support:)
google-crosshatch:/home/user# ./busybox devmem 0x5040000 32
0x00E01E36
- Wi-Fi still doesn't work.
I tried to boot the Wi-Fi by running echo 1 >/sys/kernel/boot_wlan/boot_wlan
. This didn't help:
[ 438.996345] wlan: Loading driver v5.3.1.1Q.1 ( +PANIC_ON_BUG)
[ 438.996739] CHRDEV "qcwlanstate" major number 223 goes below the dynamic allocation range
[ 438.997618] wlan_hdd_state wlan major(223) initialized
[ 438.997621] wlan: driver loaded
then nothing more is shown. There's nothing in the firmware load log, either:
# cat /var/log/firmwareload.log
cannot find firmware file 'venus.mdt'
(repeated 10 times)
The new device mentioned in the log is this:
# stat /dev/wlan
File: /dev/wlan
Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 character special file
Device: 6h/6d Inode: 32392 Links: 1 Device type: df,0

Change: 2019-01-27 04:38:22.000000000
So I guess I need to run another command to further boot the Wi-Fi.
I tried the commands from main/wcnss_wlan, but that didn't help:
echo 1 > /dev/wlan
echo sta > /sys/module/wlan/parameters/fwpath
Nothing happened, no firmware loading attempt in the kernel log.
Thus, this change doesn't get Wi-Fi working, but it gives a good starting point.
This kernel takes more than one hour to build, so you might want to skip CI.
Update google-crosshatch's kernel from the original AOSP December source to the lineage-16.0 source.
The LineageOS kernel integrates the Wi-Fi driver into the kernel source, unlike the AOSP kernel (which has it as an external module), which should help get Wi-Fi working on this device.
Also enabled /dev/mem since I thought it may be useful for dumping device registers to compare against mainline. (If you don't want this, feel free to remove this commit.)
