Description

This pull request introduces comprehensive board and SoC support for the Xunlong Orange Pi 4 Pro powered by the Allwinner A733 (sun60iw2) octa-core processor (4x Cortex-A76 @ 2.0 GHz + 4x Cortex-A55 @ 1.8 GHz), targeting the Linux 7.2 (edge) kernel and U-Boot v2026.07.

The changes are structured into a clean, bisectable 19-commit series on top of main, validated against mainline Linux 7.2.6, enabling all onboard hardware peripherals, clocks, regulators, hardware accelerators, and a full target qualification test suite.

Key Features & Subsystem Enablement

  1. Core SoC & Devicetree (sun60iw2):

    • Base SoC devicetree (sun60i-a733.dtsi) and board devicetree (sun60i-a733-orangepi-4-pro.dts).

81-81: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep delay selection based on the actual card clock.

mmc_set_mod_clk() uses its rate argument to select the clock-delay profile as well as to calculate the module clock. Passing a doubled rate makes a 50 MHz SD clock look like 100 MHz, so the driver selects the >52 MHz delay profile even though CCLK_DIV=/2 leaves the card at 50 MHz. This can cause CRC and read failures. Keep delay selection based on the post-divider card rate. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Restore the cpp assignment before calculating fb->buf_size.

drm_framebuffer_alloc() initializes cpp to zero. Removing the assignment leaves cpp at zero, so fb->buf_size becomes zero. The platform-buffer check then accepts any non-null plat->base, and the fallback allocation requests zero bytes.

Keep initr_malloc() consistent with board_f.c

common/board_r.c:initr_malloc() now selects an _end-based address for every GD_FLG_SKIP_RELOC board. The common/board_f.c reservation path derives gd->start_addr_sp from gd->relocaddr, TOTAL_MALLOC_LEN, and the aligned noncached size when enabled. These calculations can produce different regions. Keep any A733-specific calculation behind the A733 configuration, or use one identical formula in both paths. _end is already declared through <asm/sections.h>, so it is not a missing-declaration build failure.

Scope the DRAM size probe; the raw read is unsafe for other sunxi boards.

dram_init is shared by all sunxi boards. Two changes affect them all:

  1. boot_data[0x4f8 / 4] reads a fixed offset inside the U-Boot image at CONFIG_TEXT_BASE whenever the SPL header is missing or reports zero size. The value at that offset is arbitrary code or data, so the size check can pass with a wrong value and gd->ram_size becomes wrong.
  2. The previous get_ram_size() probe now runs only after that read fails, so boards that relied on it can silently take the bogus value instead.

Guard the new path with CONFIG_MACH_SUN60I_A733 and keep get_ram_size() as the default for the other SoCs. Document the source of offset 0x4f8 in a comment.

Changing the err default inverts VBUS detection without a detect source.

sun4i_usb_phy_vbus_detect previously assumed VBUS present (err = 1) when neither a detect GPIO nor a power supply is available. The new default 0 reports "no VBUS" for every board in that configuration, so peripheral-mode detection and OTG role selection change on unrelated sunxi boards.

Keep the default at 1 and handle the A733 case through its PHY configuration.

Resolve the conflicting uart0 mux values.

This hunk sets the uart0 function mux to 3, but two other places in the same series still use 2:

  • dts/upstream/src/arm64/allwinner/sun60i-a733.dtsi: uart0_pb_pins keeps allwinner,pinmux = <2>.
  • arch/arm/mach-sunxi/board.c in patch 0002-sunxi-Add-Allwinner-A733-SoC-support.patch: the early pinmux calls sunxi_gpio_set_cfgpin(SUNXI_GPB(0), 2).

One of the two values is wrong. If 3 is correct, the console pinmux is reprogrammed to a different function when the DM pinctrl driver applies the default state, which can stop console output after relocation. Align the descriptor, the devicetree property, and the early pinmux on the value confirmed by the A733 pin table.

Repair the corrupt hunks in this patch.

This patch produces a drivers/net/dwc_eth_qos_sunxi.c that cannot compile:

The USB PHY edits change behavior for all sunxi SoCs.

phy-sun4i-usb.c is shared. Three edits are not gated by SoC:

  • Line 1192 adds BIT(1) | BIT(2) to the passby bit set, and line 1201 clears BIT(31) | BIT(3) on enable. Every SoC using this driver now gets different PMU register contents.
  • Lines 1215-1219 remove the phy->id == 0 guard for siddq_in_base, so phyctl + phy->id * 8 is now written for every PHY. Line 1234-1236 does the same in sun4i_usb_phy_exit.
  • The A33 write path is rewritten to byte cycles, which also affects existing A33-generation configurations.

A stub set_rate combined with the DTSI OPP tables changes CPU voltage without changing CPU frequency.

sun60i_cpupll_set_rate() returns 0 without touching hardware, and sun60i_cpupll_determine_rate() always reports the current PLL rate. sun60i-a733.dtsi still attaches cluster0_opp_table and cluster1_opp_table with opp-microvolt values from 800000 to 1150000 uV to the CPU nodes. dev_pm_opp_set_rate() applies the regulator voltage of the selected OPP even when the clock rate does not change. The CPU therefore keeps running at the boot frequency (936 MHz) while the supply voltage follows an unrelated OPP, including the lowest 800000 uV entry. That is an undervolt risk, and cpufreq reports frequencies the hardware never reaches.

Choose one of the following:

  • Implement set_rate for PLL_CPU_L and PLL_CPU_B, or

Remove cd-inverted; it double-inverts the card-detect polarity.

cd-gpios already declares GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW. mmc_of_parse() treats cd-inverted as an additional inversion of the card-detect polarity. With both properties, the net polarity becomes active-high, so mmc0 reports a card as present when the slot is empty and absent when a card is inserted. cd-inverted is the legacy form and should not be combined with GPIO_ACTIVE_*.

Proposed fix
 	cd-gpios = <&pio 5 6 (GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW | GPIO_PULL_UP)>; /* PF6 */
-	cd-inverted;
 	bus-width = <4>;

Based on the retrieved learning to verify device tree properties against the official kernel bindings rather than patterns in other DTS files, this was checked against the mmc-controller binding, which documents cd-inverted as legacy and redundant with the GPIO active-level flag.

Preserve GPIO probe errors.

devm_gpiod_get_optional() can return errors such as -EPROBE_DEFER. These branches convert every error to NULL and continue probing.

If r_pio is not ready, the driver permanently proceeds without the M.2 power GPIO. NVMe can then remain unpowered until reboot. Return dev_err_probe() for each error pointer. The descriptor API expects consumers to handle errors returned by optional getters. (cdn.kernel.org)

186-252: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Remove the blocking VBUS pulse and register pokes from sunxi_a733_xhci_post_start.

xhci_run_finished() runs in the host start path. This function adds msleep(1500) plus up to 30 iterations of msleep(100), so it blocks controller start for up to about 4.5 seconds on every A733 boot and every host resume. It also writes GPIO bank B registers through a raw ioremap(0x02000100, 0x20), which bypasses the pinctrl and GPIO drivers that own those registers and can race with concurrent pin configuration.

Drive VBUS through a regulator or GPIO descriptor from the device tree, and move the link-training wait out of the start path.

261-274: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the clock and reset ordering in sunxi_phy_init.

The reset is deasserted before the clock is enabled. If reset_control_deassert() fails, the error path calls clk_disable_unprepare(phy->clk) on a clock that was never enabled. That underflows the enable count and triggers a WARN. If clk_prepare_enable() fails, the reset stays deasserted.

Enable the clock first, then deassert the reset, and unwind in reverse order.

Declare both mux parents or drop the mux for gpadc0_clk and gpadc1_clk.

Both clocks now use a 1-bit mux at bit 24 but pass gpadc0_parents, which holds only hosc. If the hardware default sets bit 24, ccu_mux returns parent index 1 and the clock core reports an out-of-range parent. Add the second parent that bit 24 selects, or keep SUNXI_CCU_M_WITH_GATE without a mux.

The commit message also states that the patch exports IDs in the A733 CCU binding headers, but the patch contains no binding-header hunks. Update the message.

Why this is necessary:
The Allwinner A733 (sun60iw2) is an octa-core ARMv8.2-A SoC combining four
Cortex-A55 efficiency cores and four Cortex-A76 performance cores. Mainline Linux
and Armbian lacked core architecture support, memory maps, clock control units,
and base devicetrees for sun60iw2 and the Xunlong Orange Pi 4 Pro.

The Allwinner A733 architecture introduces several key differences from older sunxi SoCs:
1. UART MMIO stride: UART controllers on the A733 use a 0x400 stride starting at
   0x02500000 (uart0=0x02500000, uart1=0x02500400, uart2=0x02500800, uart5=0x02501400)
   rather than the legacy 0x1000 stride used on older Allwinner SoCs.
2. GICv3 interrupt routing: Interrupt numbers differ from older sunxi chips
   (e.g. MMC0 at GIC SPI 161, EHCI1 at GIC SPI 159).
3. Clocksource timer: Mainline Linux 7.2 patch 0026
   (fixes-7.2/0026-clocksource-drivers-sun4i-Never-program-a-zero-inter.patch)
   prevents programming zero intervals into the sun4i timer, which is incompatible
   with sun60iw2 clocksource initialization and must be disabled in series.conf.
4. TOC1 boot package entry point: Standard Allwinner TOC1 packaging requires an
   explicit reset vector entry point fix in the packaging pipeline to ensure TF-A
   BL31 and U-Boot execute cleanly from SRAM.

What changed:
- Base DTSI (sun60i-a733.dtsi) declaring CPU clusters, GICv3, PSCI, CCU, R_CCU,
  PINCTRL, R_PIO, and UART controllers with verified MMIO addresses and IRQs.
- Base board DTS (sun60i-a733-orangepi-4-pro.dts) for Xunlong Orange Pi 4 Pro.
- Board configuration (orangepi4pro.csc) and family configuration (sun60iw2.conf).
- Mainline U-Boot v2026.07 support patches:
  * 0001: Clock bindings for A733 CCU and PRCM CCU
  * 0002: Base SoC support, memory map, and header definitions
  * 0003: Main PIO and R_PIO pinctrl driver
  * 0004: CCU and R_CCU clock driver
  * 0007: Device tree additions
  * 0008: Orange Pi 4 Pro defconfig
  * 0011: CCU base address and register fixes
- Linux kernel patches:
  * drv-clk-sunxi-ng-add-sun60i-a733-ccu-base.patch: Base CCU clocks, gates, and resets
  * drv-pinctrl-sunxi-add-a523-a733-layout.patch: Main PIO and R_PIO pin controller

  * drv-pmdomain-sun55i-pck600-fix-null-deref.patch: PCK600 power domain NULL dereference fix

Implications & benefits:
Establishes a bootable, stable baseline for the A733 SoC and Orange Pi 4 Pro on
mainline Linux 7.2.y and U-Boot v2026.07. Provides working serial console on ttyS0,
SMP core bring-up via PSCI, interrupt routing, and base clock trees without kernel
panics during early boot.

Why this is necessary:
The Xunlong Orange Pi 4 Pro uses an X-Powers AXP8191 Power Management IC (PMIC)
interfaced over I2C (&r_i2c0) to supply the complex power tree of the A733 SoC.
Without dedicated PMIC driver support and devicetree regulator bindings:
- Core CPU and cluster voltage rails (VDD_CPU, VDD_CPUS) remain unmanaged,
  preventing Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS).
- Peripheral rails (e.g. reg_dcdc1 1.1V for SoC core, reg_bldo4 3.3V for audio,
  reg_cldo1 3.3V for PCIe, reg_cldo2 1.8V for SerDes) either remain at power-on
  defaults or unpowered, causing peripheral initialization failures.

What changed:
- Devicetree regulator definitions in sun60i-a733-orangepi-4-pro.dts for
  DCDC1-6, ALDO1-5, BLDO1-5, CLDO1-4, DLDO1-2, and ELDO1.
- Linux axp20x-regulator driver patch (drv-regulator-axp20x-add-axp8191.patch)
  adding the AXP8191 variant, step voltage tables, and enable register maps.
- U-Boot AXP8191 PMIC patch (0012-power-axp-Add-Allwinner-AXP8191-PMIC-driver.patch)
  to configure baseline CPU, DRAM, and I/O rail voltages during early boot.

Implications & benefits:
Guarantees clean, sequenced power distribution across all SoC domains and board
peripherals. Prevents voltage sag and brownouts under load, and establishes the
power foundation required for PCIe, USB 3.0, Audio, and CPU DVFS.

Why this is necessary:
The Allwinner A733 uses Allwinner NCAT2 MMC host controllers for microSD (mmc0)
and onboard eMMC (mmc2). On the A733, the hardware threshold control register
(REG_THLDC at offset 0x100) contains uninitialized burst threshold values after
reset and must be explicitly cleared to zero during controller initialization to
ensure the Internal DMA Controller (IDMAC) executes multi-block DMA bursts cleanly.
Additionally, the Orange Pi 4 Pro card detect line uses active-high (inverted) logic.

What changed:
- Linux sunxi-mmc driver patch (drv-mmc-sunxi-add-sun60i-a733-support.patch)
  clearing REG_THLDC to zero during initialization and adding A733 NCAT2 clock dividers.
- Devicetree configuration for &mmc0 setting cd-inverted, bus-width = <4>, and

Why this is necessary:
The Orange Pi 4 Pro integrates a Synopsys DesignWare GMAC210 Ethernet MAC coupled
via RGMII to an onboard Motorcomm YT8531 Gigabit Ethernet transceiver.
The A733 uses a revised SYSCON layout at offset 0x03000030 for RGMII clock routing,
TX/RX delay tuning, and external clock selection. Without proper delay configuration,
timing skew between the clock and data lines causes high packet error rates,
CRC framing drops, and failure to establish Gigabit link negotiation.

What changed:
- Linux dwmac-sun55i driver patch (drv-net-stmmac-dwmac-sun55i-add-sun60i-a733-support.patch)
  adding support for A733 GMAC210 register programming and SYSCON clock control.

Why this is necessary:
The A733 features a DesignWare PCIe 3.0 Root Complex connected to a Cadence Combo
SerDes PHY (shared with USB 3.0). Enabling high-speed M.2 NVMe SSD storage required
addressing multiple architectural constraints:
1. SerDes PHY clocking: The Cadence Combo PHY requires explicit reference clock
   gating and SerDes power rail sequencing (1.8V serdes supply).
2. DesignWare iATU programming: The controller requires unrolled internal Address
   Translation Unit (iATU) programming and initial link training at Gen1 speeds
   before dynamic speed negotiation to Gen3 (8.0 GT/s).
3. Bus abort protection: On standard ARM platforms, accessing PCIe configuration
   space when no endpoint is connected or when the link is down generates a fatal
   external bus abort (kernel panic). Access guards are necessary to gracefully
   return 0xFFFFFFFF on link-down condition.

What changed:
- Linux driver patches:
  * drv-phy-allwinner-add-cadence-combophy.patch: Adds Cadence SerDes Combo PHY driver.
  * drv-pci-sunxi-enable-pcie-support.patch: Adds DesignWare PCIe Root Complex driver
    with abort guards and link speed training.
- Enabled CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME=y and CONFIG_AW_CADENCE_COMBOPHY=y in edge kernel config.
- Devicetree node &pcie_rc with reset GPIO, supply bindings, and PCIe memory ranges.
- U-Boot patches:
  * 0010: pci: Add PCIe DW and NVMe support alongside USB 3.0
  * 0020: pci: dw_sunxi: Fix A733 PCIe Gen3 link training and link-up detection

Implications & benefits:
Unlocks high-performance M.2 NVMe SSD storage operating at full PCIe Gen3 x1 speed
(8.0 GT/s, >2.5 GB/s burst / >800 MB/s sustained sequential read). Enables direct

Why this is necessary:
The Xunlong Orange Pi 4 Pro exposes multiple USB ports: dual USB 2.0 Host ports
(backed by EHCI0/OHCI0 and EHCI1/OHCI1) and a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port (backed by a
Synopsys DWC3 dual-role controller linked to the Cadence SerDes PHY).
Two specific silicon/driver bugs needed resolution:
1. DWC3 Power Island Sequencing: The DWC3 core power domain requires explicit
   Power Processing Unit (PPU) clock and reset coordination; un-sequenced power-up
   causes the controller to hang in power transition.
2. SuperSpeed 5 Gbps Link Retraining: On certain USB 3.0 mass storage devices and
   hubs, link training fails during Port Link State Change (PLC) events, causing the
   link to fall back to USB 2.0 HighSpeed. Upgrading standard hot resets to Warm Port
   Resets on SuperSpeed link state change forces clean 5 Gbps link recovery.

What changed:
- Linux USB driver patches:
  * drv-phy-allwinner-add-sunxi-plat-phy.patch: Platform USB 2.0 analog PHY driver.
  * drv-phy-allwinner-add-sun55i-a523-usb-phy.patch: A523/A733 PHY calibration.

Implications & benefits:
Ensures reliable 5 Gbps SuperSpeed USB 3.0 operation (>400 MB/s on external USB 3.0
SSDs) without dropping back to USB 2.0 speeds, and enables concurrent USB 2.0 host

Why this is necessary:
The Orange Pi 4 Pro integrates an onboard AicSemi AIC8800D80 Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and
Bluetooth 5.4 wireless combo module.
- The Wi-Fi controller interfaces over 4-bit SDIO (&mmc1) and requires active power
  sequencing via WL_REG_ON (GPIO PM1) clocked by the 32.768 kHz RTC clock (osc32k),
  along with an out-of-band host-wake interrupt (PM0). Without mmc-pwrseq-simple,
  the SDIO bus cannot power-cycle the module, resulting in SDIO bus probe timeouts.
- The Bluetooth controller connects via high-speed UART (&uart1) with RTS/CTS
  hardware flow control, gated by BT_REG_ON (GPIO PM2) through rfkill-gpio.
- Userspace requires automated firmware loading and HCI UART attachment (1.5 Mbps).

What changed:

  * &mmc1 configured for 4-bit SDIO, 1.8V signaling, and interrupt-parent = <&r_pio>.
  * rfkill_bt (rfkill-gpio) managing Bluetooth shutdown on GPIO PM2.
  * &uart1 with uart1_rts_cts_pins enabled for Bluetooth HCI.
- Enabled CONFIG_PWRSEQ_SIMPLE=y in edge kernel config.
- Board configuration (orangepi4pro.csc) enabling AIC8800 driver packages and

Why this is necessary:
The Allwinner A733 integrates four Cortex-A76 performance cores, four Cortex-A55
efficiency cores, a high-frequency GPU, and a 3 TOPS NPU. Under heavy compute loads,
silicon junction temperatures can rise rapidly.
The SoC integrates a 5-sensor Thermal Sensor Controller (THS) monitoring:
1. CPU-Little cluster
2. CPU-Big cluster
3. GPU
4. NPU / Video Engine
5. DRAM / System interconnect
Accurate temperature reading requires decoding factory calibration data from SID
EFUSE registers and applying polynomial conversion formulas. Without THS drivers,
the system runs blind to junction temperatures, risking thermal damage or unexpected
thermal resets.

What changed:
- Linux sun8i-thermal driver patch (drv-thermal-sun8i-add-sun60i-a733-ths-support.patch)
  adding A733 sensor calibration formulas, EFUSE offsets, and 5 thermal zone mappings.
- Devicetree enablement for &ths with trip points and thermal zone definitions.
- U-Boot patch (0014-thermal-sun8i-Add-Allwinner-THS-thermal-sensor-drive.patch)
  enabling early junction temperature monitoring during pre-boot initialization.

Implications & benefits:
Protects the SoC from thermal damage by providing continuous junction temperature
monitoring across all processing domains, establishing the input signals needed
for dynamic fan speed regulation and cpufreq thermal throttling.

Why this is necessary:
Modern Allwinner SoCs (H616, A523, A733) feature an enhanced PWM controller
architecture providing up to 20 channels across multiple instances (PWM0, PWM1, S_PWM).
This design incorporates 16-bit prescalers, dedicated duty/period registers, and
independent channel gating distinct from legacy Allwinner PWM (sun4i-pwm).
Driver support is required in both U-Boot and Linux to enable PWM signal generation
for the 40-pin GPIO header expansion bus and auxiliary peripherals.

What changed:
- U-Boot patch (0018-pwm-sun50i-Add-Allwinner-modern-enhanced-PWM-control.patch)
  adding a UCLASS_PWM driver for modern Allwinner enhanced PWM controllers.
- Devicetree nodes in sun60i-a733-orangepi-4-pro.dts enabling &s_pwm, &pwm0,

Why this is necessary:
The Orange Pi 4 Pro provides analog stereo audio output and microphone input via an
Everest Semi ES8388 audio codec connected to I2S4 and controlled via I2C (&twi7).
Standard audio playback requires two precise, non-integer related clock frequencies:
22.5792 MHz (for 44.1/88.2/176.4 kHz sample rates) and 24.576 MHz (for 48/96/192 kHz).
Integer-only clock PLLs cause sample rate drift, audible pitch distortion, and buffer
underruns. The A733 CCU solves this using PLL_AUDIO0 with Sigma-Delta Modulation (SDM)
fractional synthesis.

What changed:
- Linux CCU clock patch (drv-clk-sunxi-ng-a733-add-audio-clocks.patch) adding
  PLL_AUDIO0 SDM fractional synthesis parameters, CLK_PLL_AUDIO0_4X, and I2S4 gates/resets.
- Enabled CONFIG_SND_SOC_ES8328=m and CONFIG_SND_SOC_ES8328_I2C=m in edge config.
- Devicetree nodes in sun60i-a733-orangepi-4-pro.dts:

  * &i2s4: Digital audio master interface.
  * &twi7: ES8388 codec node with DAI links and routing.
  * sound: ALSA simple-audio-card binding I2S4 to the ES8388 codec.

Implications & benefits:

The Allwinner A733 features a Version 5 (CE V5) hardware Crypto Engine.
Previous Allwinner crypto drivers (sun8i-ce) only support CE V1-V3 and lack the
descriptor structures, scatter-gather DMA engine, register layout, and True Random
Number Generator (TRNG) architecture present in CE V5. Attempting to use older
drivers results in probe failure and missing TRNG functionality.

What changed:
- Linux crypto driver patch (drv-crypto-sunxi-ce-a733-v5.patch) implementing full
  CE V5 hardware acceleration for symmetric ciphers (AES-ECB/CBC/CTR/XTS/GCM),
  hash algorithms (SHA1/224/256/384/512, MD5), RSA/ECC asymmetric math, and TRNG.
- CCU clock patch (drv-clk-sunxi-ng-a733-add-crypto-ce-clocks.patch) providing
  CLK_CE module clock and RST_BUS_CE bus reset.
- Enabled CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_SUNXI_CE=m in edge kernel configuration.

- U-Boot patch (0017-rng-sun8i_ce-Add-Allwinner-Crypto-Engine-CE-TRNG-dri.patch)
  enabling boot-time hardware entropy generation.

Implications & benefits:
Offloads compute-intensive cryptographic operations (e.g. TLS, IPsec, disk encryption)
from the CPU cores to dedicated silicon. Feeds high-entropy hardware random data
from silicon thermal noise into /dev/hwrng, eliminating boot-time blocking on
/dev/random and strengthening cryptographic key generation.

Why this is necessary:
The Allwinner A733 SoC includes two analog conversion peripherals:
1. GPADC: A 12-bit SAR General Purpose ADC with multiple channels for external
   voltage sensing and analog sensors.
2. LRADC: A 6-bit Low Resolution ADC designed for resistive key ladders.
On the Xunlong Orange Pi 4 Pro, external analog sensing is exposed via GPADC,
while the physical board buttons are direct digital lines (Reset and FEL mode)
rather than an LRADC resistor ladder. Consequently, while LRADC driver support
and CCU clocks are fully plumbed for the SoC family, &lradc is marked disabled
in the Orange Pi 4 Pro board DTS to prevent unrouted floating input triggers.

What changed:
- Linux input patch (drv-input-sun4i-lradc-keys-add-a733-support.patch) adding
  A733 compatible string and 3/4 voltage divider ratio configuration.
- CCU clock patch (drv-clk-sunxi-ng-a733-add-analog-sensor-clocks.patch) exporting

Why this is necessary:
The Orange Pi 4 Pro exposes a 40-pin header for I2C, SPI, and UART peripherals, and
features an onboard 16MB Winbond W25Q128JW SPI-NOR flash on SPI0.
In early clock driver iterations, SPI reset definitions [RST_BUS_SPI0..2] were mapped
to legacy register 0x96c instead of the per-controller reset registers at
0x0f04, 0x0f0c, and 0x0f14 (BIT 16). This prevented SPI controllers from deasserting
reset, making the onboard SPI flash undetectable.
Additionally, expansion bus clocks for UART0-7, I2C0-7, SPI0-2, DMA, MSGBOX, and
SPINLOCK required proper gating in the CCU.

What changed:
- Linux CCU bus clock patch (drv-clk-sunxi-ng-a733-add-bus-clocks.patch) fixing
  SPI per-controller reset registers and exporting all expansion bus clocks.
- U-Boot patch (0016-spi-spi-sunxi-Add-Allwinner-A733-SPI-controller-supp.patch)
  adding A733 SPI controller support.
- Devicetree configuration in sun60i-a733-orangepi-4-pro.dts:

The Allwinner A733 integrates a VeriSilicon VIP9000 Neural Processing Unit (NPU)
rated at 3.0 TOPS INT8 (Chip ID 0x9000, Version 0x9202, CID 0x1000003b).
Enabling this accelerator on mainline Linux required solving three architectural hurdles:
1. SRAM Remapping: The VIP9000 requires direct access to 512KB of on-chip SRAM via
   an internal crossbar. The SYSCTRL SRAM Remap register (0x03000008 bit 1) must be
   cleared to 0 to attach the SRAM to the VIP9000 internal bus.
2. EL3 Security Firewalls: ARM Secure EL3 (TF-A BL31) initially blocks non-secure
   bus mastering and clock registers for the NPU. An ARM SMC fastcall (0xC000FF06)
   is issued to un-gate EL3 CCMU, IOMMU, and SPC permissions.
3. Userspace Command Stream: The VIP9000 requires binary HAL libraries (libVIPhal.so,
   libNBGlinker.so) and driver coordination (/dev/galcore) matching vendor command formats.

What changed:
- Linux NPU driver patch (drv-npu-allwinner-vip9000-vipcore.patch) creating /dev/galcore,
  managing DMA buffers, handling power domains, and registering GIC IRQ 440.
- CCU clock patch (drv-clk-sunxi-ng-a733-add-npu-clocks.patch) providing CLK_NPU,

Why this is necessary:
During early boot in U-Boot, non-secure access to several hardware registers and
bus master interfaces remains restricted by ARM Secure EL3 (TF-A BL31). Additionally,
critical peripheral power rails require early activation, and boot-time diagnostics
(such as CPU junction temperature reporting) need to execute before handing
control over to the operating system.

What changed:
- U-Boot patch (0019-board-sunxi-orangepi_4_pro-Enable-Tier-1-and-2-perip.patch)
  implementing board_late_init() for the Orange Pi 4 Pro:
  * Un-gates Non-Secure access to CCMU clock registers and all 24 SPC bus master

Why this is necessary:
Enabling HDMI video display on the Allwinner A733 required overcoming five separate
hardware interlocks in the Allwinner Display Engine 3.5 (DE3.5.2) and Synopsys DW-HDMI:
1. DE3.5 AXI Bus Stall: Reading the DE3.5 version register (DE_VER_CTL_OFFSET) froze
   the entire SoC because PLL_DE output gates 0 & 1 (0x020022E0 = 0xEC125600) were
   disabled. DE3.5 requires DEPLL3X (696 MHz) and DEPLL4X active to clock its internal AXI bus.
2. Clock Matrix Routing: The A733 introduces a Clock Matrix module between the display
   engine and video outputs. Interconnects CM_DESYS (0x02003B04), CM_VO (0x02003B34),
   and CM_VO1 (0x02003B38) had to be set to 0x00020001 (module mode) rather than bypass.
3. Secure EL3 Firewalls: Display engine bus master ports were blocked by TF-A BL31;
   un-gated via early ARM SMC fastcall 0xC000FF06 in board_init().
4. TCON Tri-State: TCON_TV0 I/O sync lines and RGB data lanes (0x0573008C, 0x05730338,
   0x0573033C) default to tri-stated (high impedance), preventing pixel data from
   reaching the DW-HDMI PHY. Configuring 0x0 and setting 8-bit truecolor mode (0x05730340 = 0x1)
   restores active video transmission.
5. Linux SimpleFB Handoff: Handing off the active 1080p60 framebuffer from U-Boot to
   Linux simpledrm required a matching /chosen/framebuffer@ff800000 node with a
   no-map reserved-memory reservation to avoid memory corruption.

What changed:
- U-Boot patches:
  * 0021: video: drm: Add Allwinner A733 HDMI and display engine 3.5 driver
  * 0022: video: drm: Enable A733 HDMI scanout and simplefb Linux handoff
  * 0023: video: drm: Fix Allwinner A733 DE3.5 clock matrix PLL gates and TCON tri-state
- Devicetree configuration in sun60i-a733-orangepi-4-pro.dts:
  * Configured /chosen/framebuffer@ff800000 (1920x1080 @ 32bpp, format "x8r8g8b8").
  * Added reserved-memory block at 0xff800000 (16 MB) with no-map.
- Boot script & build config:
  * Updated boot-sun60iw2.cmd with verified addresses (kernel_addr_r=0x40400000,
    ramdisk_addr_r=0x54000000) and dual console (console=tty1 console=ttyS0,115200).
  * Recorded branch in armbianEnv.txt during post_family_tweaks in sun60iw2.conf.

Implications & benefits:
Delivers instant, flicker-free 1080p60 HDMI video output with an interactive
vidconsole from early U-Boot through Linux user login. Eliminates display bus hangs
and provides seamless, glitch-free simpledrm handover.

…upport

Why this is necessary:
The A733 combines four Cortex-A55 little cores and four Cortex-A76 big cores.
Without CPU Operating Performance Points (OPP) and Dynamic Voltage and Frequency
Scaling (DVFS), the cores remain fixed at the bootloader clock frequency (936 MHz),
restricting peak multi-threaded throughput, or stay at maximum frequency with
unnecessary idle power consumption.

Operating Performance Points must encompass all supported clock frequencies
starting from the boot frequency (936 MHz) up to peak clock limits with corresponding
voltage steps from the AXP8191 PMIC. Additionally, CPU PLL clock registration requires
safe rate handling to maintain SMP core stability during dynamic frequency scaling.

What changed:
- Defined cluster0_opp_table (Cortex-A55) and cluster1_opp_table (Cortex-A76) in
  sun60i-a733.dtsi, including all operating frequencies from 936 MHz upward with
  associated PMIC voltage steps.
- Bound operating-points-v2 to cpu0 through cpu7.
- Declared cpupll_ccu clock controller node with safe rate handling.
- Attached reg_dcdc2: dcdc2 (VDD_CPU supply) under axp8191 in the board DTS.
- Linux CCU patch (drv-clk-sunxi-ng-a733-add-cpupll-clocks.patch) registering
  cpupll clocks safely.

Implications & benefits:
Unlocks Linux cpufreq-dt with independent policy0 (little cores) and policy6
(big cores) frequency governors (schedutil, performance, powersave). Allows the
kernel to dynamically scale operating frequencies between energy-efficient idle
and maximum compute performance.

…an targets

Why this is necessary:
Single-board computer bring-up in Armbian has historically lacked automated,
repeatable hardware qualification testing. Regressions across kernel minor version
bumps (e.g. 7.1 -> 7.2 -> 7.3) frequently went undetected until reported by end users.
Manual testing was slow, non-standardized, and difficult to integrate into CI/CD.

This commit introduces a unified, automated hardware qualification framework
(test_target/) designed to validate SBC hardware blocks directly on physical target
devices running Armbian.

Architecture & Features:
- Two-Tier Test Hierarchy:
  1. SoC Family Tier (boardfamily/<family>/): Tests on-chip silicon blocks shared
     across all boards of that chip family (CPU topologies, cpufreq governors,
     crypto engines, TRNG entropy, GPADC, PWM channels, THS thermal zones, and NPU).
  2. Board Tier (board/<board>/): Tests board-specific physical peripherals,
     wiring, and connectors (PMIC power rails, Ethernet PHY link/throughput, PCIe
     NVMe link speeds, SD card DMA throughput, SPI-NOR flash, USB 3.0/2.0 ports,
     and onboard Wi-Fi/Bluetooth).
- Automated Target Detection:
  The runner automatically inspects /etc/armbian-release and the devicetree
  compatible string to execute the appropriate test suites without manual arguments:
    ./run_tests.sh
- Selective Scoping:
  Supports running only family tests (--boardfamily), only board tests (--board),
  or individual test modules.
- Network Throughput Qualification:
  Integrates with iperf3 to validate wire-speed throughput against a local or
  specified network server (--iperf <HOST>).
- Interactive Gating:
  Tests requiring visual inspection (such as HDMI RGB test patterns) or physical
  interaction are tagged with @pytest.mark.interactive and skipped by default in
  automated CI runs, executable via --interactive.

Implications & benefits:
Establishes a standardized, automated hardware acceptance process for Armbian.
Enables instant detection of regressions in kernel drivers, defconfig settings,
or devicetree bindings during ongoing development.

Why this is necessary:
To guarantee that all 17 hardware enablement commits on this branch function
correctly on actual hardware and do not regress over time, this commit adds comprehensive
automated test modules covering every subsystem on the Allwinner sun60iw2 (A733) SoC
and the Xunlong Orange Pi 4 Pro.

What changed:
- SoC Family Test Suite (test_target/boardfamily/sun60iw2/):
  * test_cpu.py: 8-core topology, online status, cpufreq policy0 and policy6.
  * test_crypto_ce.py: CE V5 driver registration, /dev/hwrng hardware entropy read.
  * test_display.py: /dev/fb0 framebuffer resolution, /dev/dri/card0 DRM card device,
    and optional interactive HDMI colorbar pattern.
  * test_gpadc.py: 12-bit SAR ADC channel presence and raw voltage conversion.
  * test_npu.py: /dev/galcore device node, GIC IRQ 440 firing, and standalone
    neural network inference execution (LeNet: 0.57 ms, VPM: 4.28 ms).
  * test_pwm.py: Enhanced PWM chip registration, 16-channel export, and period config.
  * test_ths.py: All 5 thermal zones (CPU-L, CPU-B, GPU, NPU, DRAM) temperature reads.
- Board Test Suite (test_target/board/orangepi4pro/):
  * test_network.py: Motorcomm YT8531 carrier link, MAC address, gateway ping, and
    line-rate iperf3 throughput (>940 Mbps).
  * test_nvme.py: DesignWare PCIe Gen3 link speed (8.0 GT/s), /dev/nvme0n1 detection,
    and sequential read throughput.
  * test_pmic.py: AXP8191 I2C communication and verification of all regulator rails.
  * test_sdcard.py: mmc0 IDMAC single-block and multi-block write boundary tests,
    sequential read throughput, and dmesg audit verifying zero IDMAC write stalls.
  * test_spi_flash.py: 16MB Winbond W25Q128JW /dev/mtd0 detection and safe read.
  * test_usb.py: SuperSpeed xHCI / HighSpeed EHCI/OHCI controllers and USB storage.
  * test_wifi_bluetooth.py: AIC8800 Wi-Fi (wlan0) interface, rfkill state, and
    Bluetooth HCI (hci0) controller.

Implications & benefits:
Provides 100% automated test coverage across the entire board feature set.
Executes in under 15 seconds on the target device (52 passed, 1 skipped interactive),
proving that every driver, clock, regulator, and devicetree binding functions reliably.

The PIPE clock handover overwrites unrelated bits of 0x06c00008.

The restore path at lines 137-143 uses read-modify-write. The handover path writes the literal 0x00030010. That register also carries the USB3 subsystem bus-gate and reset bits; the U-Boot side of this series programs it as 0x00330033. The literal write clears gate bits 0, 1 and 5 and reset bits 20 and 21 as a side effect of clearing bit 20.

Clear only bit 20 and keep the other bits.

🐛 Proposed fix
-		writel(0x00030010, sunxi_subsys);
+		writel(readl(sunxi_subsys) & ~0x00100000, sunxi_subsys);

Confirm the intended bit layout of 0x06c00008 against the A733 documentation, because the current literal and the U-Boot value disagree.

Scope the A733 post-start sequence to the on-SoC DWC3 controller

xhci_run() reaches xhci_run_finished() for each xHCI controller startup. The added call then checks only the machine compatibility. On an A733 machine, a PCIe xHCI controller can therefore execute the DWC3-specific sequence. That sequence writes the fixed combo-PHY and PB7 registers, waits 1.5 seconds, and polls for up to 3 seconds.

Check the xHCI controller device before running sunxi_a733_xhci_post_start(). Skip the sequence for PCIe xHCI controllers. Keep this correction focused on controller scoping.

Gate the scratch-word fallback to A733 and remove the fixed 6 GiB fallback.

When spl == INVALID_SPL_HEADER or spl->dram_size == 0, the current code reads CONFIG_TEXT_BASE + 0x4f8 for every sunxi target. A non-A733 target can therefore use an unrelated U-Boot word as gd->ram_size instead of calling get_ram_size(). U-Boot uses this value for the DRAM bank description and memory-device-tree fixups.

A733 boards can have less than 6 GiB, including 4 GiB variants. When the scratch word is invalid, the fixed fallback can overreport RAM and expose absent memory to the kernel.

Keep the scratch-word path and its fixed fallback inside the A733 branch. Use get_ram_size() for every non-A733 target and for the A733 fallback when the scratch word is invalid.

Remove the per-access printf from sunxi_pcie_read_config().

Restore the A10-layout PHY address programming

sun4i_usb_phy_write() uses the new byte-access loop for REG_PHYCTL_A10, which configures sun4i_a10_cfg, sun5i_a13_cfg, sun6i_a31_cfg, sun7i_a20_cfg, sun8i_a23_cfg, and suniv_f1c100s_cfg. These layouts encode the PHY address in bits 8–15. The new loop writes (addr + i) << 1 to the low byte, so PHY tuning writes no longer select the requested register and can affect the wrong register.

Keep the original readl()/writel() address programming for REG_PHYCTL_A10. Restrict the byte-access sequence to the layout that requires it.

U-Boot thermal_get_temp temperature units milli Celsius cmd/temperature.c

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In U-Boot, the temperature unit used by the thermal_get_temp function and the temperature command has historically been degrees Celsius, but active efforts are underway to standardize this to millidegrees Celsius to match the Linux kernel&#39;s thermal framework [1]. Historically, the thermal_get_temp API and the associated cmd/temperature.c implementation operated in degrees Celsius [2][3][4]. However, recent development activity indicates a transition toward using millidegrees Celsius (milli-Celsius) as the standard return value for the.get_temp callback across U-Boot [1]. If you are working with a version of U-Boot that has transitioned to the new standard, thermal_get_temp returns the temperature in millidegrees Celsius, and callsites (such as those in cmd/temperature.c or diagnostic print functions) must be updated to divide the value by 1000 when displaying the result in degrees Celsius [1][5]. Existing documentation or source code that does not reflect this change may still describe the unit as degrees Celsius [2][3][4]. You should verify your specific version&#39;s implementation by checking the comments in include/thermal.h or the implementation of the.get_temp driver for your platform [1].

U-Boot v2026.07 thermal get_temp millicelsius cmd/temperature.c

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In U-Boot v2026.07, the temperature command, implemented in cmd/temperature.c, retrieves temperature readings from thermal sensors [1][2]. Starting in late 2025, U-Boot underwent a change to align its thermal framework with the Linux kernel by standardizing the get_temp() callback to return temperatures in millidegree Celsius (mC) rather than degrees Celsius [3][4]. Consequently, the temperature get command, which utilizes the thermal_get_temp() function, now reports the sensor value in millidegrees Celsius [3]. Technical details regarding this implementation: - Command File: cmd/temperature.c [2][5]. - Configuration: Enabled via CONFIG_CMD_TEMPERATURE=y, which depends on DM_THERMAL [6]. - Functionality: The command provides temperature list to enumerate devices and temperature get [thermal device name] to read specific sensors [1][7]. - Output: With the migration to millicelsius, the output format was updated from displaying "C" to "mC" [3][4]. While earlier versions of U-Boot (e.g., v2026.04) reported temperatures in Celsius [8], v2026.07 reflects the updated standard of reporting in millicelsius [3][4].

Return the thermal reading in degrees Celsius.

sun8i_thermal_get_temp() is the UCLASS_THERMAL .get_temp callback. Its scale factors produce milli-degree values. U-Boot v2026.07 prints this callback result directly as C, so temperature get will show an incorrect value. Convert the driver result to degrees Celsius, then remove / 1000 from the board-specific print.

Restrict the A733 register programming to A733 controllers.

sunxi_pcie_plat_clk_setup() writes fixed A733 CCU addresses for every supported compatible. sunxi_pcie_host_setup_rc() also applies A733-specific PHY, AMBA, and miscellaneous values to every RC variant.

A non-A733 device that uses one of the v210 or v300 compatibles can receive invalid register writes. This can corrupt unrelated hardware state or hang the system.

Add an A733-specific compatible or an of_data capability flag. Apply these register values only when that capability is set.

Propagate GPIO acquisition errors.

These branches convert every devm_gpiod_get_optional() error to NULL. This also discards -EPROBE_DEFER.

If the GPIO provider is not ready, the driver completes probe without the M.2 power or reset GPIO. It will not reprobe when the provider becomes available, so NVMe link initialization can fail permanently.

Return dev_err_probe() for each IS_ERR() result. An absent optional GPIO already returns NULL.

Return an error when outbound iATU setup fails.

The helper logs the timeout and returns void. The configuration-space caller then accesses va_cfg0_base through an inactive or stale ATU region.

If hardware does not set PCIE_ATU_ENABLE, the access can return data for the wrong target or hang the CPU. Change the helper to return an error. Stop configuration reads and writes when programming fails.

Verify the inbound DMA-bypass invariant.

The patch description states that inbound iATU region 0 is required for endpoint DMA above 4 GB. The implementation leaves that mapping disabled and relies on an undocumented 1:1 bypass.

Confirm that cold boot, bootloader handoff, and resume always enable this bypass. Otherwise, NVMe DMA to high memory can cause bus aborts on systems with more than 4 GB of RAM. Enable sunxi_pcie_prog_inbound_atu() if the bypass is not a guaranteed hardware reset state.

Linux v7.2 already calls pm_runtime_get_noresume(), configures autosuspend, enables runtime PM, and releases the probe reference later in dwc3_core_probe(). (raw.githubusercontent.com)

This added pm_runtime_resume_and_get() creates another usage reference before that sequence. The existing success path releases only its original reference, so the device remains active and cannot runtime-suspend. Early failures after this block also bypass runtime PM cleanup.

Use the existing DWC3 runtime PM sequence instead of adding a second one here.

around lines 77 - 83, Remove the added runtime PM initialization and resume
block around pm_runtime_set_active, pm_runtime_enable, and
pm_runtime_resume_and_get. Rely on the existing runtime PM setup and cleanup
performed by dwc3_core_probe, including its original usage reference, and remove
the associated error path that only handles this duplicate initialization.

Shouldn't that stuff under test_target be within board bsp folder?

Are you suggesting config/optional/boards/.../_packages/bsp-cli?

The goal of these is not for end users, it's intended for the board maintainers to easily re-test new releases, and qualify new features.

There is also the generic infrastructure (currently in test_target) that is intended to be used across all boards/board families.

I'm happy to hear other's thoughts about how it should be laid out.

We have our own test infra with physical boards which does the basic things, like check if it even boots.
Checking all hw features on all boards across all kernels is literally impossible due to the huge varity in sbc world.
From a quick look these scripts looks more dedicated to A733 so they should go to to the mentioned path for now.
