Bug#1033232: linux: Please enable support for RZ/G2M-HiHope

[Vincent Stehlé]

Package: linux
Version: 6.1.0-6-arm64
Severity: normal
File: linux

Dear Maintainer,

The RZ/G2M HiHope is the reference board for the Renesas RZ/G2M MPU.
https://www.renesas.com/us/en/products/microcontrollers-microprocessors/rz-mpus/rzg2m-hihope-rzg2m-reference-board

I think the Debian kernel is missing only a few configuration options in
debian/config/arm64/config to run on that board.

For SoC support and UART console:

CONFIG_ARCH_RENESAS=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_SH_SCI=y
CONFIG_ARCH_R8A774A1=y

For SD and eMMC support:

CONFIG_GPIO_RCAR=m
CONFIG_MMC_SDHI=m

For USB2 support:

CONFIG_PHY_RCAR_GEN3_USB2=m

All those options are set by default upstream.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/configs/defconfig

Could you please add those configuration options to the Debian kernel?

Best regards,
Vincent.
