Hello everyone,

I have been able to mainline the sony xperia z3 device and get it to boot up(alot of things are not working but at least it boots)
I'm using the torvalds repository version 6.0.0:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/

this is my kernel config:
https://pastebin.com/LzUrtGyE

but strangely If i add any of the followin options:
b43 brcmfmac brcmutil FAIR_GROUP_SCHED CONFIG_CGROUP_FREEZER CONFIG_CGROUP_DEVICE CONFIG_CGROUP_PIDS CONFIG_CPUSETS CONFIG_MEMCG

the device does not boot, I cannot see any messages as I have not gotten the screen to work yet.
so I was wondering if anyone had an idea on how to debug or solve thisissue.

thanks

Great work.
I always wish my old sony xperia z5c could use the mainline kernel.
Have no experience in this field, willing but unable to offer any help.

Could you please leave your email or github page so that I can get in touch with you?
I'm experienced in java, C and python. I know only a little about Linux kernel development.
