Walkthrough

Patch series modifications across rockchip-6.17 and sm8550-6.12 kernel archives. Two rockchip-6.17 patch configuration files disable the Verisilicon media patch entry, while SDR50 tuning logic is removed from an sdhci-msm driver patch in the sm8550-6.12 series.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Change Summary
Rockchip-6.17 Verisilicon patch disable patch/kernel/archive/rockchip-6.17/libreelec.series, patch/kernel/archive/rockchip-6.17/series.conf	Commented out the 0065 Verisilicon media patch entry in both patch series configuration files, effectively disabling its application
SM8550-6.12 SDR50 tuning removal patch/kernel/archive/sm8550-6.12/0042_mmc--sdhci-msm--Enable-tuning-for-SDR50-mode-for-S.patch	Removed SDR50-tuning support additions including CORE_HC_SELECT_IN_SDR50 macro, early return logic in sdhci_msm_is_tuning_needed, and SDR50-specific tuning block in sdhci_msm_execute_tuning

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~10 minutes

• Straightforward patch series modifications with clear intent (disabling/removing specific patches)
• Requires verification that commenting out the Verisilicon patch doesn't break rockchip-6.17 builds
• Confirm that SDR50 tuning removal doesn't negatively impact sm8550-6.12 SD card performance

Poem

🐰 A patch here, a config there,
We hop through the kernel with care,
Verisilicon takes a rest,
SDR50 leaves the nest,
Patch management done with flair! ✨
