claude-noether d5893e65f0 patches/driver/bes2600: mirror besser series (closes #2)
Mirrors all 30 BES2600 patch series from marfrit/besser/patches/ into
the kernel-agent scope-tagged tree under patches/driver/bes2600/.
15 base series + 15 -danctnix siblings = 45 .patch files including
cover letters.

Per-series promotion eligibility tracked in the README (default
unset → ka-promote asks before including in a build). Markus to
update as series mature.

DKMS-to-in-tree transition path documented (drop bes2600-dkms
once series lands in mainline / DanctNIX base).

Cumulative-patch ordering caveat captured: existing order is NOT
alphabetical (A,B,C v3,F,G,D,E,C2,c5.x,c6.x,c7,H). ka-promote
needs an explicit apply_order field, not a series-name sort.
Surface when fleet/ohm.yaml lands in #5.

Acceptance criteria from #2:
  [x] All series present under driver/bes2600/
  [x] Promotion eligibility per series (table in README, defaults unset for Markus to fill)
  [ ] Manifest for ohm references driver:bes2600 scope (deferred to #5)
  [x] DKMS-to-in-tree transition path documented

patches/driver/bes2600/

BES2600 WiFi driver patches (drivers/staging/bes2600/*, mainline-bound). Mirrored from marfrit/besser/patches/ on 2026-05-16.

Scope tag: driver:bes2600 (see fleet/ohm.yaml for the consumer). Consumer: ohm (PineTab2, RK3566 + BES2600 SDIO).

Series taxonomy

30 series (15 base + 15 -danctnix siblings). The -danctnix variants exist because vanilla series don't apply on the DanctNIX kernel base (slightly different in-tree state for drivers/staging/bes2600/*). Keep both as separate series until BES2600 lands upstream, then collapse — issue #2 acceptance criterion.

Each series directory contains numbered .patch files plus optionally a 0000-cover-letter.patch for multi-patch series.

Promotion eligibility (per series)

Marked here for the kernel-agent CLI (ka-promote) to pick up. Markus to update as series mature. Default UNSET means "ask before including in a build".

DKMS-to-in-tree transition path

bes2600-dkms (Mobian fork, in marfrit/bes2600-dkms) is the out-of-tree shim that ohm currently uses for the BES2600 wifi+BT. Once these driver/bes2600/ series land in mainline (or at least in DanctNIX's PineTab2 kernel base):

  1. ohm's manifest drops the bes2600-dkms package dependency
  2. kernel-agent builds the in-tree variant via the series listed here
  3. marfrit/bes2600-dkms repo gets archived (kept as history)
  4. PineTab2 buyers from then on get bes2600 directly out of the kernel

Track the dropdown in fleet/ohm.yaml (replaces_dkms: bes2600-dkms once the cumulative series is enough to replace it).

Cumulative-patch generation order

The current single-patch cumulative (0001-bes2600-besser-cumulative-series.patch in the existing PKGBUILD) is generated in this order on boltzmann:

A, B, C v3, F, G, D, E, C2, c5.x, c6.x, c7, H

This is NOT alphabetical — C2 follows E rather than coming after C v3. ka-promote MUST honor an explicit series-ordering field when concatenating, not sort by series name. Field name TBD; suggest adding apply_order: to fleet/ohm.yaml (issue #5 will surface this when the cumulative gets regenerated).
