> Wow - you've been busy, this patchset is huge!
I started in 2017 with a 2.6.35.14 patchset[1] maintained by Jürgen Urban,
and ported it through 3.x, 4.x and 5.x to present day. The history goes
back to 2.2.1[2] when Sony released a Linux kit.
Maciej W. Rozycki and Jürgen Urban have been very helpful along the way.
Most of the drivers in the 2.6 series are not present in this initial
patchset. It is supposed to be fairly small, after all. Most of the other
parts from 2.6 were eventually removed, reworked or expanded.
For example, the 2.6 kernel uses BIOS routines for certain services. The
BIOS is discarded and the kernel handles the hardware directly in this
patchset. Arbitrary video mode lines are now supported. The 2.6 kernel
supported n32, and 128-bit GPRs, but this patchset supports only o32,
and only 32-bit GPRs although I very much hope we can retain the support
for 128-bit GPRs, as suggested in the patchset cover letter, as that is
a defining feature of the R5900.
The input/output processor (IOP) modules, handled as firmware by the
kernel, have also been reworked and updated for a modern compiler[3].
Some ideas and discussions on further development etc. can be found here:

Sure!

Great, thanks!
