not yet fixed

HDMI is fixed: a new format table arrived from upstream for ingenic-drm to have separate pixel formats for two planes.
Since the jz4780 is not supported upstream this table was empty. Using the same table as for jz4770 works, although I am not sure it is the right one.
USB port fixed: power was no longer enabled
OTG not tested

Was a false alarm. Observation of WLAN and Display broken could not be repeated. Maybe something broken in the users-space of the quick test setup.

> - PinePhone: ok but random WiFi MAC

not yet fixed

> - Kobolino: hangs after "Waiting for root device mmcblkp2" (5.9.16 did search for mmcblkp0)

fixed: there is new upstream code to use DTS-Aliases to map the mmc0,mmc1, ... numbers to mmc host ports.
The µSD card reader of the Kobolino is connected to the mmc1 controller and hence everything got mixed up.

> - Pandora: SGX driver broken and prevents Xorg from starting

fixed: was not the SGX driver but a misconfig in xorg.conf

> - BeagleBone Black + Chipsee panel: using wrong rootfs from eMMC

fixed: udpated boot.scr in u-boot so that it used "part uuid" to pass the proper partition number to the kernel.

Fixed where it did manifest.

Fixed.

This is more a warning if we use Jessie user-space with latest pvrsrvkm loaded. It seems as if the
Jessie Xorg omapdrm driver tries to query something through an incompatible ioctl. But it has no negative effect.
Using modeset oder fbdev driver does not show the warnings.
