Re: orangepi zero 3 fails to boot after hw.blockcpu patch

Seems i have tested the wrong kernel. After booting the right one it boots (phew),
But i get the some pledge errors, likely unrelated to the patch,
but i think those relate to commit i put those on.
Commit i applied patches is (i think this might be a bit earlier than release commit):

commit bb8e03cabd2f8e2503e178dd95d38b806dea3e1a (HEAD)
Author: jsg <[email protected]>
Date:   Mon Apr 20 00:18:21 2026 +0000

    7.9-current
    ok deraadt@

How do i find the commit that relates to 7.9-release tree in git?
