Pull SoC devicetree updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"There are a handful of new SoCs this time, all of these are more or
less related to chips in a wider family:
- SpacemiT Key Stone K3 is an 8-core risc-v chip, and the first
widely available RVA23 implementation. Note that this is entirely
unrelated with the similarly named Texas Instruments K3 chip family
that follwed the TI Keystone2 SoC.
- The Realtek Kent family of SoCs contains three chip models
rtd1501s, rtd1861b and rtd1920s, and is related to their earlier
Set-top-box and NAS products such as rtd1619, but is built on newer
Arm Cortex-A78 cores.
- The Qualcomm Milos family includes the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 (SM7635)
mobile phone SoC built around Armv9 Kryo cores of the Arm
Cortex-A720 generation. This one is used in the Fairphone Gen 6
- Qualcomm Kaanapali is a new SoC based around eight high performance
Oryon CPU cores
- NXP i.MX8QP and i.MX952 are both feature reduced versions of chips
we already support, i.e. the i.MX8QM and i.MX952, with fewer CPU
cores and I/O interfaces.
As part of a cleanup, a number of SoC specific devicetree files got
removed because they did not have a single board using the .dtsi files
and they were never compile tested as a result: Samsung s3c6400, ST
spear320s, ST stm32mp21xc/stm32mp23xc/stm32mp25xc, Renesas
r8a779m0/r8a779m2/r8a779m4/r8a779m6/r8a779m7/r8a779m8/r8a779mb/
r9a07g044c1/r9a07g044l1/r9a07g054l1/r9a09g047e37, and TI
am3703/am3715. All of these could be restored easily if a new board
gets merged.
Broadcom/Cavium/Marvell ThunderX2 gets removed along with its only
machine, as all remaining users are assumed to be using ACPI based
firmware.
A relatively small number of 43 boards get added this time, and almost
all of them for arm64. Aside from the reference boards for the newly
added SoCs, this includes:
- Three server boards use 32-bit ASpeed BMCs
- One more reference board for 32-bit Microchip LAN9668
- 64-bit Arm single-board computers based on Amlogic s905y4, CIX
sky1, NXP ls1028a/imx8mn/imx8mp/imx91/imx93/imx95, Qualcomm
qcs6490/qrb2210 and Rockchip rk3568/rk3588s
- Carrier board for SOMs using Intel agilex5, Marvell Armada 7020,
NXP iMX8QP, Mediatek mt8370/mt8390 and rockchip rk3588
- Two mobile phones using Snapdragon 845
- A gaming device and a NAS box, both based on Rockchips rk356x
On top of the newly added boards and SoCs, there is a lot of
background activity going into cleanups, in particular towards getting
a warning-free dtc build, and the usual work on adding support for
more hardware on the previously added machines"
