Tested on:
- arm i.MX6ULL (Armadillo 640)
- arm64 i.MX8MP (Armadillo G4)

No obvious regression in dmesg or basic tests:
Tested-by: Dominique Martinet <dominique.martinet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


By the way, I wanted to start semi-automatize this (for 5.10
specifically since that's the kernel we're based on) and started
watching the linux-stable-rc.git's linux-5.10.y branch, specifically the
rev in this command:

  git ls-remote git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git refs/heads/linux-5.10.y

And there were two different "Linux 5.10.200-rc1" commits on the 1st,
3rd before the final rev on the 6th (this mail) as I assume you were
preparing this branch (and it's perfectly fine!)
Is there anything appropriate to watch instead, or should I setup mail
filters to see the announce mail instead of trying to second-guess the
git repo?


While I'm asking questions, I'm also comparing the dmesg output from one
version to the next by hand (as ordering etc changes a bit from one run
to the next it's a bit hard to automate reliably), if you're aware of a
fuzzy-diff for dmesg outputs or should I just kludge that in a corner?
(Should have noticed the MMC quirk regression[1] in 5.10.199 if I had been
doing that properly last time... It's too easy to miss when a line just
disappears and there's no error
