Yes, I told you that we probably should think about backporting patches=20=

(for e.g. ATF)  but that I don=E2=80=99t like to backport to 2019.10 ,
and instead would prefer to back port to 2020.01=20
Because why patching =E2=80=9Eold" versions when the upstream is already =
patched?
 You can ask Bernd :
There is no more reboot-issue with Rockchip with the version I=E2=80=99ve =
 uploaded to the Wiki .
You told me that you don=E2=80=99t want to upgrade to 2020.01..

Why waiting for months or so until they update if that=E2=80=99s =
manageable by a backport-patches?
I don=E2=80=99t want to patch all updates from "MacOS 10.15.3 to MacOS =
9.2.2=E2=80=9C  ;-)

What I meant is: I compile to src-head from TODAY(to whatever kernel), =
because if`ve seen many issues in that range the last weeks, which were =
solved(perhaps even by you) but other issues came new to head=E2=80=A6
( e.g. RPI4 booted again but suddenly only 1 CPU is detected)

But what I definitely can say is that the card reader- panic has nothing =
to do with any ATF-patch,
wherever ATF was patched.=20

So for the moment my question is : what causes 2020.01 to panic =
where=E2=80=99s Bernd`S 2019.10=20
Doesn=E2=80=99t crash=E2=80=A6 perhaps you know why,=20
until I know that=20
of course I will not send patches=E2=80=A6
