rockchip64-edge: bump to 6.12

[amazingfate]

Description

rebase patches to 6.12-rc6. I delete rockchip64-6.11 to make the changes more readable by git

• Some patches merged upstream are deleted
• rk3399-opp.dtsi is deleted, so I delete it in our board patches
• add patch 0001-tools-disable-sched_ext_clean.patch to make kernel build success

How Has This Been Tested?

Please describe the tests that you ran to verify your changes. Please also note any relevant details for your test configuration.

• ./compile.sh kernel BOARD=orangepi3b BRANCH=edge DEB_COMPRESS=xz KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no KERNEL_GIT=shallow
• tested with rk3566 orangepi3b

• I have performed a self-review of my own code
• I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas
• My changes generate no new warnings

Does not boot on Radxa Rock-3A
UART dump 6.12: https://paste.armbian.de/oxivuzuqip.yaml
I checked the blkid and it was correct.

Working 6.11.y: https://paste.armbian.com/paculacagu

Same board, same PSU, same microSD card

Hm must have been a fluke or rewriting the kernel config into 6.12 helped.

build&boot on Nanopi R4s (RK3399): https://paste.armbian.com/hoviyuyuci

And just for good measure the same with mainline 2024.10 uboot :)

@EvilOlaf What't the output when setting verbosity=7 in /boot/armbianEnv.txt?
opi3b works fine, and the difference between rk3566 and rk3568 after 6.12 is that rk3568 has rng node enabled in devicetree. We have a patch of downstream rng driver, I have pushed a commit to delete this patch.

Rock 3A also works fine. As stated must have been some sort of fluke. The board is acting weird anyways. Maybe hw defect. Needed multiple power cycles until it recognized the sd properly.

With rng patches removed:
✅ Rock 3A UART: https://paste.armbian.de/ifunupafey.yaml with verbosity
✅ Zero 3E armbianmonitor -u: https://paste.armbian.com/igenuhekiq

Deletion of rockchip64-6.11 has broken a linked patch patch/kernel/archive/rockchip-rk3588-6.11/0027-RK3588-Add-rkvdec2-Support-v3.patch. Fortunate that this patch has not changed in 6.12, so update the symlink to rockchip64-6.12/media-0001-Add-rkvdec2-Support-v3.patch
Tested with ./compile.sh kernel BOARD=rock-5b BRANCH=edge DEB_COMPRESS=xz KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no KERNEL_GIT=shallow, and on rock5b rkvdec2 driver works.

Hello, did a quick check on a rk3328 device and the 6.12 kernel boots without issues, I'll give an eye on rk3399 too.

BTW, I got rc2 instead of rc6 (uname: 6.12.0-rc2-edge-rockchip64), wondering why...

[amazingfate]

Mainline 6.12 is defined rc2 now. I did the rebase on top of rc6 and it seems fine.

@amazingfate ok got it, thanks for the clarification and thanks for the work.
In the meantime I quickly checked on rk3399 (Opi4Lts), and the board boots and works ok. There is a warning/kernel dump due to infamous uwe5562 driver, but functionality is not invested.
