change from frank-w's tree to just a git-format-patches from his tree

[tabrisnet]

Description

More or less what it says on the tin, and more specifically what is mentioned in the series.conf

patch series derived from:
git format-patch -o ~/build/armbian-build/patch/kernel/archive/filogic-6.16/patches.armbian/ v6.16.12..6.16.12-rsslro
where 6.16.12-rsslro was from taking https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-Router-Linux branch:6.16-rsslro
then git rebase v6.16.12 where this tag was from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git tag:v6.16.12
two patches are then skipped for being empty, 0001 & 0017

Walkthrough

The change edits config/sources/families/filogic.conf in the edge branch: explicit KERNELSOURCE and KERNELBRANCH assignments are commented out. KERNEL_MAJOR_MINOR is fixed to 6.16 and KERNELPATCHDIR and LINUXCONFIG are computed from that value and the branch name, so the edge configuration no longer declares kernel source/branch directly.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~10 minutes

• Single-file, small syntactic change (commenting out assignments and adjusting derived variables)
• Review should verify downstream logic that computes/uses KERNELPATCHDIR and LINUXCONFIG handles the absence of explicit KERNELSOURCE/KERNELBRANCH
• Check consistency with other family configs and CI/build jobs that may expect explicit kernel source/branch values

Possibly related PRs

• filogic/bpi-r4 - fix edge kernel config #8772: Modifies filogic edge kernel configuration alongside filogic.conf — directly related to edge kernel settings.
• BPI-R4/filogic - demote current kernel to legacy, introduce frank-w kernel for current/edge #8746: Edits the same filogic.conf to change kernel versioning and source/branch handling — touches the same mappings.
• sun55iw3: move patches to archive/sunxi-dev-6.16 folder #8641: Changes how KERNEL_MAJOR_MINOR is used to derive KERNELPATCHDIR — overlaps with the version-derived logic here.

Docstring Coverage	⚠️ Warning	Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%.	You can run @coderabbitai generate docstrings to improve docstring coverage.

✅ Passed checks (2 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title Check	✅ Passed	The pull request title "change from frank-w's tree to just a git-format-patches from his tree" directly and clearly describes the main change in the changeset. The raw summary confirms this is the primary modification: KERNELSOURCE and KERNELBRANCH assignments are removed and replaced with commented-out lines, with the configuration now relying on KERNEL_MAJOR_MINOR and derived values instead of explicit source/branch details. The title is specific, concise, and accurately represents the transition from direct tree usage to git-format-patches generation that the changeset implements.
Description Check	✅ Passed	The pull request description is directly related to the changeset and provides substantial, meaningful details about the change. It explains the specific git command used to generate the patches, identifies the source branch (frank-w/BPI-Router-Linux branch 6.16-rsslro), specifies the kernel tag used for rebasing (v6.16.12), notes which patches were skipped and why (0001 and 0017 were empty), and provides context by referencing PR #8772. The description clearly conveys the rationale for replacing direct tree usage with a git-format-patches approach, making it well-suited to understanding the PR's purpose.
