Dear Joel, dear Linux folks,
We have an IBM S822LC system (Firestone(?)). Building of OpenBMC
currently fails, as the not everything was ported from dev-4.10 to
dev-4.13 [1], and therefore a file cannot be found.
Looking at upstream Linux, there are BMCs for Power 8 systems, like
Palmetto, included.
```
$ ls arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed-bmc-opp-*
arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed-bmc-opp-palmetto.dts
arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed-bmc-opp-romulus.dts
arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed-bmc-opp-witherspoon.dts
arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed-bmc-opp-zaius.dts
```
Does somebody know, why Firestone was not upstreamed? Is somebody
working on upstreaming it? If not, do you have scripts to port such
work? Manually cherry-picking stuff in this case is hard, as there are a
lot of conflicts.
Kind regards,
Paul

Firestone was never really maintained. We hacked around with it for a bit, but nothing concrete really came of it. As far as I'm aware, no-one is working on upstreaming it.
Also, I don't think there were any scripts used in the process, so it's going to be some drudge work to get things running.
Sorry that I don't have a more positive answer. Maybe someone else knows better.
Cheers,
Andrew
