Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
e4f2d1af71
The pistachio platform uses the U-Boot bootloader & generally boots a kernel in the uImage format. As such it's useful to build one when building the kernel, but to do so currently requires the user to manually specify a uImage target on the make command line. Make uImage.gz the pistachio platform's default build target, so that the default is to build a kernel image that we can actually boot on a board such as the MIPS Creator Ci40. Marked for stable backport as far as v4.1 where pistachio support was introduced. This is primarily useful for CI systems such as kernelci.org which will benefit from us building a suitable image which can then be booted as part of automated testing, extending our test coverage to the affected stable branches.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
