Here it is (I hope it compiles since my final build is still running...)

	https://git.goldelico.com/?p=letux-kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/letux-5.11-rc5

There is a new alpha400_defconfig but that is untested. The letux_defconfig should work.

here is also another important change.

I have renamed the DTS/DTB to alpha400.dts. And modified all references to call
it Skytone Alpha 400 because that is the Wikipedia entry for this machine type:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skytone_Alpha-400

Basically there will be only three patch sets to make it work:

letux/jz4730-v7
letux/dt-mipsbook400-v4
letux/mips_mipsbook400_defconfig

(all these are already merged in letux-5.11-rc5 - but there may be a dependency on the jz4780-hdmi patches)

The first is for the jz4730 SoC while the other is for the alpha400 and despite its
(current) name the branch defines more than the DT, but also the PM MCU dun the
alpha400_defconfig. I think I will rename this branch later on.

IMHO we should submit them separately to have different audience (maintainers) for
the patch set.

So if you try or submit patches, please base them on letux-5.11-rc5.

BR,
Nikolaus
