The driver does not compile on systems with kernel version 6.x #11

I am trying to set up my beepy with Arch Linux ARM, using the files from https://github.com/DelusionalLogic/beepy-packages The PKGBUILD file pulls in the git repository, so I am using the current source.

When the system tries build the module, I get two compile time errors (see attached make.log)

The first points to a function which was available with kernel 5.x, but seems to be removed with later versions. I found this as a indication: https://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg374191.html Arch Linux ARM for Raspberry Pi comes out of the box with kernel 6.6.14

The second just needs another include file (drm/drm_fbdev_generic.h).

I know that Arch Linux is probably out of scope here, but sooner or later Raspbian will get newer kernels, so this is more or less future proofing ;)

Ah, I forgot to mention: this has worked in the past, some time ago. I sadly can't remember when exactly and which kernel and driver version it was.

hcdeeken commented 9 months ago

Ok, Kernel version 6.1 seems to work, but at least starting with 6.4 it fails. No idea about 6.2 or 6.3 yet

Same here. Kernel 6.4 or even 6.6 (current Armbian 24.2) would be highly appreciated.

I made the mistake of doing an apt update so now I am stuck without a working display or keyboard. Is someone looking at this? Don't think I have the time to chase it all down.

Sorry I missed these comments, I've pushed updates for both the display and keyboard drivers for Linux 6.6. Please let me know if you have any issues with the updates.
