IMX53 on recent 4.4.x kernels

[Vellemans, Noel]

Hi Robert... 

I was mixing up 2 topic's .. ( my mistake sorry ) .


In short... I did a QUICK test on the 4.12 kernel as well ( but need to add lots of custom drivers ) in order to get it running on the same roofs.

But,  I believe FABIO ESTEVAM ( who was trying to give me some first aid 'help' ) did some test on a 4.12 kernel ( for the performance issue) .. and it seems it is in the ALLMOST SAME SPEED range as the 4.4.x kernel ( there was  small improvement ) but it was certainly not at the same speed as the 2.6.35 kernel .

( for the test program that looped for the Kernel time)

Regards Noel

NOTE: I'll try to get 4.12 ( or 4.13 ) running ( but needs a lot of patches.. that require manual rework if I want to run then om our hardware)

Looks like your mixing the performance thread with the mxc_nand one
:-) These are completely different topics.
