Hi!

Thanks for release work!

BTW, rt_x86_siemens_i386-rt.config is the build error.

/jobs/3405080634#L4519

I'm posting a patch to cip-dev that fixes this. Please check that.
[RESEND][PATCH for 4.4.y] extcon: adc-jack: Fix incompatible pointer type

warning

Yes, will take a look, thanks for noticing.

I tried to run tests before release, and they succeeded
https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-kernel/linux-cip/-/pipelines/709907648
:

1) Any idea why my testing differs / how I can properly run the tests
for the -rt branch?

The CI pipelines look at the branch name to determine what builds/tests get run.
For example [0] , RT build configurations will only run if the branch name contains "linux-4.4.y-cip-rt".

This is why Iwamatsu-san got a different result [1] on his "ci/Iwamatsu/linux-4.4.y-cip-rt-rebase" branch.
It obviously leads to lots of "ci" branches [2], but it does make tracking build/test history for the different kernel versions easier.

Would it be possible for you to switch to a similar approach?

[2] https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-kernel/linux-cip/-/branches?state=all&sort=updated_desc&search=ci%2F

2) Should we have config similar to rt_x86_siemens_i386-rt.config for
4.4-cip, too? The -rt bits will not apply, but we should be able to
test the rest.

We currently have two -rt specific configs for 4.4-cip, renesas_shmobile-rt_defconfig [3] and siemens_i386-rt.config [4].
Both will get built if a push is made to a branch name containing "linux-4.4.y-cip-rt".
RT specific tests also get run on renesas_shmobile-rt_defconfig.

[3] https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-kernel/cip-kernel-config/-/blob/master/4.4.y-cip-rt/arm/renesas_shmobile-rt_defconfig
[4] https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-kernel/cip-kernel-config/-/blob/master/4.4.y-cip-rt/x86/siemens_i386-rt.config

Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.

Kind regards, Chris

Best regards,
Pavel
