Description

Add community board support for the ELRON ELTAY RM66 compute module based on the Rockchip RK3566 SoC.

The module integrates:
- Rockchip RK3566 quad-core Cortex-A55 SoC
- Rockchip RK809-5 PMIC and discrete SYR827 buck regulator
- 8-bit eMMC 5.1 and MicroSD storage
- Onboard AP6256 Wi-Fi (SDIO) and Bluetooth (UART)
- Onboard SPI NOR flash (sfc)
- RKNPU2 (1 TOPS) neural processing unit

This PR adds:
- Board definition `eltay-rm66.csc` (family `rk35xx`)
- Mainline U-Boot v2026.07 board defconfig and control DT
- Linux 6.18 mainline and 6.1 vendor (`rk-6.1-rkr7.2`) device trees separated into SoM (`rk3566-eltay-rm66.dtsi`) and carrier (`rk3566-eltay-rm66-reference-carrier.dtsi`) compositions
- Vendor 6.1 kernel patches:
  * `regulator-core`: apply `regulator-init-microvolt` DT property
  * `pm_domains`: ensure power domains remain active on early handshake
  * `motorcomm`: configure RGMII TX/RX clock delays for YT8531 PHY

# Documentation summary for feature / change

- [x] short description: Add ELRON ELTAY RM66 community board support
- [x] summary: Initial community support for ELTAY RM66 compute module (RK3566) with mainline U-Boot and dual kernel support (mainline 6.18 desktop baseline and vendor BSP 6.1 with NPU/Media/ISP)
- [x] example of usage: `./compile.sh build BOARD=eltay-rm66 BRANCH=vendor RELEASE=trixie BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no`

# How Has This Been Tested?

- [x] U-Boot v2026.07: builds cleanly, compiles FIT image, loads DTB and kernel
- [x] Kernel 6.18 (current): boots to userspace, HDMI video/audio, USB 2.0/3.0, AP6256 Wi-Fi/BT, PCIe, SPI NOR verified on ELTAY BB CM4
- [x] Kernel 6.1 (vendor): verified Gigabit Ethernet with YT8531 (full-line rate, zero packet loss), RKNPU2 probe, MPP media decoders, and CAM1 (OV5647 via rkisp)
- [x] Framework checks: `compile.sh config-dump-json` passes for both `current` and `vendor` branches

# Checklist:

- [x] My code follows the style guidelines of this project
- [x] I have performed a self-review of my own code
- [x] I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas
- [x] My changes generate no new warnings

  • Vendor logos: board-vendor-logos/<vendor>-logo.png (512x512 px transparent)

Missing items

  • Board image missing for eltay-rm66

    • Expected: board-images/eltay-rm66.png
    • Fix: add the file to armbian/armbian.github.io (folder board-images/)
  • Vendor logo missing for vendor elron (used by board eltay-rm66)

    • Expected: board-vendor-logos/elron-logo.png
    • Fix: add the file to armbian/armbian.github.io (folder board-vendor-logos/)
    • Naming rules: lowercase, dashes (e.g. kobol-logo.png, not Kobol_logo.png)

Once the missing files are added (or a PR is opened in armbian/armbian.github.io), re-run this check.

driver guard.

In `@patch/kernel/rk35xx-vendor-6.1/003-regulator-core-init-microvolt.patch`:
- Around line 73-76: Update the _regulator_do_set_voltage() failure branch to
log the error and immediately return ret, preventing the later
machine_constraints_current() call from overwriting the failed initialization
status and allowing registration to continue without the required voltage.

In `@patch/kernel/rk35xx-vendor-6.1/dt/rk3566-eltay-rm66-reference-carrier.dtsi`:
- Around line 324-330: The OV5647 nodes must match the vendor binding: remove
clock-names from both nodes while retaining all four rockchip,camera-module-*
properties. Extend the vendor OV5647 binding to declare those four properties
and ensure the disabled node also passes additionalProperties validation.

Define the binman U-Boot writer for RM66. BOOT_SCENARIO="binman" and UBOOT_TARGET_MAP build u-boot-rockchip.bin; they do not install it. The image path unconditionally calls write_uboot_platform. For BOOT_SOC="rk3566", the family defines no such writer, so RM66 image creation can fail with write_uboot_platform: command not found. Clear inherited Rockchip hooks and copy the binman image at the standard offset.

Drop the SDIO-only restriction so eMMC and SD platforms can use it too. Signed-off-by: Kamal Dasu <kamal.dasu@...adcom.com> Reviewed-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzysztof.kozlowski@....qualcomm.com> --- Changes in v9: - No change. Changes in v8: - No change. Changes in v7: - Added Krzysztof&`#39`;s Reviewed-by. Changes in v6: - Split into a separate, minimal patch per Ulf: just extend keep-power-in-suspend&`#39`;s scope, with no brcmstb/firmware-specific rationale in its description. That rationale now lives in the new reset-card-at-resume property instead (patch 2/3), and the two are set together on brcmstb rather than folded into one property. - Also per Ulf (applies to v4 and v5 alike): dropped the mention of sdio_set_host_pm_flags() and how Linux&`#39`;s SDIO stack happens to expose this at runtime -- that&`#39`;s a software implementation detail, not a hardware/platform description. Changes in v5: - Added Krzysztof&`#39`;s Reviewed-by. Changes in v4: - Dropped no-mmc-poweroff-suspend entirely and extended keep-power-in-suspend instead, per Krzysztof: the two properties described the same "don&`#39`;t power off across suspend/resume" contract. Changes in v3: - Renamed from no-mmc-sleep; dropped S_A_TIMEOUT framing per Ulf. Changes in v2: - New patch, replacing v1&`#39`;s card-level quirk, per Ulf.

[PATCH v6 3 ... 3] mmc: core: Honor keep-power-in-suspend and reset-card-at-resume for (e)MMC ... On some platforms, firmware accesses the (e)MMC card directly during resume from Suspend-to-DRAM, before the kernel&`#39`;s own resume path has run, in order to load boot code. This requires the card to remain powered and responsive throughout suspend: putting it to sleep, sending it a power-off notification, or removing its supply is not safe, since firmware needs to talk to a live card. Since the card is never power-cycled, nothing else resets it back to a known state before the kernel reuses it after resume. ... keep-power-in-suspend / MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER already exist for the first part, but are only consumed in the SDIO suspend/resume path (mmc_sdio_suspend()/mmc_sdio_resume()), gated on a per-function runtime request via sdio_set_host_pm_flags(). (e)MMC has no equivalent function-driver layer to make that request, and the requirement here is a fixed platform characteristic rather than a per-cycle one, so _mmc_suspend() checks host->pm_caps directly instead of pm_flags. ... When pm_caps has MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER set and pm_type is MMC_POWEROFF_SUSPEND, skip the poweroff-notify/sleep/power-off sequence entirely: deselect the card and mark it suspended. The pm_type check matters because _mmc_suspend() is also called for shutdown, driver unbind, and undervoltage, none of which are guaranteed a subsequent _mmc_resume() call, so those still need the normal power-off path. ... reset-card-at-resume covers the second part: when set, _mmc_resume() resets the host to its initial bus state the same way _mmc_hw_reset() does for a non-power-cycle reset, before mmc_power_up() and mmc_init_card() re-identify the card. This is independent of MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER in the code, though on brcmstb both capabilities are set together, since keeping the card powered is what creates the unknown-state problem reset-card-at-resume addresses. ... host->pm_flags is set alongside marking the card suspended, and cleared in _mmc_resume(), so host controller resume handlers can tell power was preserved if they need to. ... Changes in v6: - Reworked around Ulf&`#39`;s two-property split: dropped the unconditional mmc_set_clock()/mmc_set_initial_state() reset from the suspend-side fast path, and instead perform it in _mmc_resume(), gated on the new MMC_CAP2_RESET_AT_RESUME (from reset-card-at-resume), matching the property&`#39`;s name and description ("before the card can be used, it must be reset"). - No longer touches MMC_CAP2_NO_POWEROFF_SUSPEND/no-mmc-poweroff- suspend at all -- that capability and property are gone, per the v4 rework; this patch only adds MMC_CAP2_RESET_AT_RESUME. ... Changes in v5: ... - Only set host->pm_flags |= MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER after ... mmc_deselect_cards() succeeds, instead ... deselect fails, ... is never marked ... Changes in v4: - Gated the fast path on pm_type == MMC_POWEROFF_SUSPEND; it was previously unconditional, so it wrongly skipped the required power-off/notify handling during shutdown, unbind and undervoltage as well. - Set/clear host->pm_flags |= MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER around the suspend/ resume, mirroring the SDIO convention, so host controller resume handlers can tell power was preserved and perform a soft resume sequence instead of assuming power was lost. - Dropped MMC_CAP2_NO_POWEROFF_SUSPEND and the no-mmc-poweroff- suspend DT property entirely. Reuse keep-power-in-suspend / MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER instead, per Krzysztof&`#39`;s point that the new property described the same contract as the existing one. _mmc_suspend() now checks host->pm_caps directly rather than pm_flags, since (e)MMC has no per-function driver to make the dynamic sdio_set_host_pm_flags()-style request SDIO uses. ...

Clear this flag in _mmc_resume() upon completion. Only set pm_flags and mark the card suspended after mmc_deselect_cards() succeeds. If it fails, the card is never marked suspended, so _mmc_resume() takes its early "not suspended" exit and never reaches the code that clears MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER -- setting the flag unconditionally would leak it for the remainder of uptime.

Add a flag property so such boards can tell the mmc core the card needs to be reset before it can be used again. This is expected to be paired with keep-power-in-suspend on boards whose firmware needs the card to stay powered and live throughout suspend: since the card is never power-cycled, nothing else would force it back to a known state on resume.

Rob Herring asked for this to be addressed on the list. Added a dependencies entry requiring keep-power-in-suspend whenever reset-card-at-resume is present. Changes in v7: - No other change here; patch 3/3 now requires this property alongside keep-power-in-suspend for (e)MMC rather than treating them as fully independent in the driver -- see that patch&`#39`;s changelog. Changes in v6: - New patch, per Ulf&`#39`;s suggestion: rather than fold "needs a reset at resume" into keep-power-in-suspend&`#39`;s own meaning, describe it as its own independent property, so the two can be combined only where actually needed (brcmstb sets both; SDIO&`#39`;s existing keep-power-in-suspend users are unaffected and set neither this nor a reset).

Keep the AP6256 supplies on during suspend. sdmmc1 serves the AP6256 over SDIO and sets keep-power-in-suspend, but both vmmc-supply (vcc_3v3) and vqmmc-supply (vcc_1v8) declare regulator-off-in-suspend. This conflicts with the MMC contract that preserves card power across suspend. If the RK809 applies these suspend states, the AP6256 loses power while the MMC path treats the card as retained, which can cause Wi-Fi resume failure.

Change both mainline regulator states to regulator-on-in-suspend if retention is required. This is a separate edit from the vendor DTSI correction because the mainline and vendor DTSIs are separate files with the same conflicting declarations. Use a full power-cycle design instead only if the board requires it, and remove keep-power-in-suspend as part of that design.

(cherry picked from commit 896f01f)
Add a 'vendor' kernel branch alongside mainline 'current' to bring up the
CIF/ISP camera stack and the RKNPU NPU on the ELTAY RM66 (RK3566):

- allow BRANCH=vendor: the branch tracks the head of
  armbian/linux-rockchip rk-6.1-rkr5.1 (Rockchip BSP 6.1.x) instead of
  pinning a commit, and reuses the upstream-maintained
  linux-rk35xx-vendor kernel config (VIDEO_ROCKCHIP_CIF/ISP/ISPP,
  PHY_ROCKCHIP_CSI2_DPHY, VIDEO_OV5647, ROCKCHIP_RKNPU); packages become
  *-vendor-rk35xx, kernel release 6.1.x-vendor-rk35xx;
- keep mainline U-Boot 2026.01 for both branches;
- add the BSP-flavor device trees under patch/kernel/rk35xx-vendor-6.1/dt
  (generic + BB CM4 control DTB), ported from the mainline series. The NPU
  is enabled: it is module-internal and powered by the PMIC DCDC_REG4 rail
  already described by the board. Camera/CSI/ISP nodes are deliberately
  not present until the CAM1 carrier wiring is validated, so the generic
  DTB does not describe unprobed hardware.

The mainline 'current' branch is unchanged and remains the default.

(cherry picked from commit 9757bca)
The BSP driver calls panic() unconditionally when a power domain does not
reach the requested idle/on state within 10 ms. During early probe on
ELTAY RM66 this aborts the boot before init runs (observed on UART:
'Kernel panic - not syncing: panic_on_set_idle set ...' at 10.8s from
rockchip_pmu_set_idle_request during platform_probe), and the dev_err
naming the failing domain is lost because the FIQ console is not
printing yet. The dev_err paths already report the domain; return the
timeout error and let the system reach userspace for diagnosis instead
of panicking.

(cherry picked from commit 567d100)
…RM66

The previous commit drops the unconditional panic() on set-idle/set-domain
handshake failures. With that the boot advances past the first failing
domain, but a genpd power-off work was then observed stuck on the PMU mutex
(rcu_sched expedited stalls from genpd_power_off_work_fn; boot never reached
init).

Keep pm_domain_always_on false by default: this patch directory is shared
with every other vendor 6.1 board, and forcing always-on disables runtime
power-domain shutdown for all of them. Boards that hit the hang opt in with
pm_domains.always_on=1; ELTAY RM66 appends it through extraboardargs in its
board config. Return before taking the PMU mutex and keep the domains
powered while the failing domain is identified from dmesg; revert once the
root cause is fixed.

(cherry picked from commit bbe2ad6)
The vendor BSP device trees (rk3566-orangepi-3b, rk3568-evb,
rk3566-roc-pc, ...) carry "regulator-init-microvolt" on rails whose
boot voltage must not stay at the PMIC register floor, but nothing
in this tree parses the property, so it is silently ignored.

On ELTAY RM66 this left vdd_npu (RK809-5 DCDC4) at 500 mV - the
table minimum - when rknpu_probe powered the NPU domain: the island
bus was dead and the first rk_iommu_enable_stall register read died
with a synchronous external abort before init. With the rail at its
900 mV init value the same probe completes and /sys/class/devfreq/
fde40000.npu appears (verified on hardware).

Parse the property into the constraints and apply it inside
set_machine_constraints after the generic voltage constraints, with
a range check against min/max.

The vendor 6.1 YT8531 config_init adjusts the RX clock duty cycle but
leaves the RX/TX internal-delay registers at strap values, so phy-mode
rgmii-id had no effect and 1000/Full lost packets. Add
yt8531_rgmii_delay_init(): clear the extra RXC delay bit (ext 0xa001
bit 8) and program the 1950 ps delay selectors (ext 0xa003) according
to phydev->interface, matching the mainline 6.18 driver.

Verified on ELTAY RM66 (6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx, build e0a9585d): after
init ext 0xa001=0x8060, 0xa003=0x34fd (sel 13/13); TCP 941 Mbps in
both directions (30-35 s) with zero MAC errors; UDP at line rate shows
no checksum corruption.

(cherry picked from commit 47eb836)
Record maintainer-confirmed operation of current 6.18 and vendor
6.1.115 on RM66 with BB CM4, including the vendor Ethernet fix.

Clarify that current targets desktop images while vendor remains
the NPU/Media reference. Keep the existing power-domain workaround
and correct the outdated message claiming NPU is disabled.

Recorded vendor build: 54f348f
Kernel: 195bf1084412259d773560fa421bc6c15b16f4f4 (6.1.115)
U-Boot: 127a42c7257a6ffbbd1575ed1cbaa8f5408a44b3 (v2026.01)

Validation: git diff --check; bash -n config/boards/eltay-rm66.csc.
(cherry picked from commit 733f11b)
The module carries an AP6256 combo (Wi-Fi + Bluetooth). Until now the
Bluetooth userspace only reached images incidentally, via the Plasma stack
the LXQt desktop recipe pulls in through sddm's recommended theme, so
Minimal/CLI images shipped without bluetoothctl.

PACKAGE_LIST_BOARD is the documented board-level hook for this and the same
pattern other boards with onboard BT use (indiedroid-nova, bananapim*, ...).
It is applied at image stage, so it covers every image type and kernel
branch, and it does not affect the rootfs cache key (only
PACKAGE_LIST_BOARD_REMOVE/PACKAGE_LIST_FAMILY_REMOVE take part there).

Package names verified in the trixie-arm64 indexes: rfkill, bluetooth,
bluez and bluez-tools are all available.

No hardware test of the Bluetooth workload yet; hciattach/service setup is
not touched by this commit.
Both board DTs set /chosen/stdout-path = "serial2:1500000n8", so the debug
console is UART2. The mainline branch lands on ttyS2 anyway (rockchip64_common
picks it from BOOT_SOC), but for BRANCH=vendor the framework defaults SERIALCON
to ttyFIQ0. This board has no fiq-debugger node, so systemd waits for
dev-ttyFIQ0.device and gives up after ~110 s, leaving a failed
serial-getty@ttyFIQ0 unit - visible in the 2026-09-16 vendor 6.1.172 boot log.

Declaring SERIALCON explicitly makes both branches use the console the device
tree actually provides (verified with compile.sh config-dump-json for both
branches).

The BSP keeps every media block disabled in rk356x.dtsi and expects the board
to opt in, so the vendor image currently has no /dev/mpp_service, no
decoder/encoder, no JPEG/IEP and no RGA at all - even though the MPP stack is
built in: CONFIG_ROCKCHIP_MPP_SERVICE, MPP_RKVDEC(2), MPP_RKVENC(2),
MPP_VDPU2, MPP_VEPU2, MPP_IEP2, MPP_JPGDEC are all =y. Mainline is unaffected
because its SoC dtsi enables these blocks by default, which is why the 6.18
profile has working media devices.

Enable the same set the RK3566 reference board uses
(rk3566-radxa-zero3.dtsi): mpp_srv, vdpu, vepu, rkvdec, rkvenc, jpegd and iep
together with their *_mmu nodes, plus rk_rga. The encoder DVFS rail
(venc-supply) is left out on purpose until the RM66 schematic confirms it;
without it the blocks run without DVFS, exactly like the VOP already does on
this board.

Enabling rk_rga also removes the two errors printed on every boot
("rga: rga_iommu_bind, binding map scheduler failed!" and "rga iommu bind
failed!"): rga_init() calls rga_iommu_bind() right after registering its
platform drivers, and that bind can only succeed if a scheduler was created
from a matching DT node - otherwise the driver unregisters itself and RGA is
unavailable.

Also add interrupt-names = "npu_irq" to &rknpu. The driver resolves the
interrupt by name first (rknpu_irqs[] = { "npu_irq", ... }) and only then falls
back to platform_get_irq(pdev, 0), so the BSP node (which declares the
interrupt unnamed) makes every boot log "error -ENXIO: IRQ npu_irq not found".
The NPU itself is fine: RKNPU v0.9.8 initializes and /sys/kernel/debug/rknpu
answers on 6.1.172.

Not hardware-tested yet - needs a rebuild plus a boot check of mpp_service,
RGA and an NPU inference.
…(vendor 6.1)

Camera wiring is taken from ELTAY's own board DTS for the RM66 + BB CM4 pair
(buildroot-external-eltay/board/eltay/rm66/rk3566-eltay-rm66.dts) and from the
compiled overlays they ship with Buildroot (rk356x-ov5647-c1/c2.dtbo):

  CAM1: I2C1 + csi2_dphy1 -> rkisp_vir0 ("rkisp_mainpath"), OV5647 @0x36
  CAM2: I2C3 + csi2_dphy2 -> rkcif_mipi_lvds (raw) / rkisp_vir1 (ISP)
  both: 25 MHz fixed clock, 3V3 rail, PWDN on gpio2 RK_PC6 (shared line)

CAM1 with an OV5647 (Raspberry Pi Camera v1.3) is enabled in the reference
carrier DTS: sensor node, csi2_dphy_hw + csi2_dphy1, rkisp + rkisp_mmu +
rkisp_vir0 including the endpoint graph. CAM2 is left out but documented in the
file header - the shared PWDN line allows only one sensor per boot, and the
CAM2 ISP path additionally needs rkaiq/IQ files in userland.

Also add the missing pinmux to &sfc. Without pinctrl-0 = <&fspi_pins> the
controller drove unconnected pins, which the kernel reported as
"spi-nor spi4.0: unrecognized JEDEC id bytes: 00 00 00 00 00 00". Mainline
already carried this pinctrl; the vendor DTB did not.

Compile-checked locally with the kernel dtc from
cache/sources/linux-kernel-worktree/6.1__rk35xx__arm64 (both DTBs build, camera
nodes land enabled). Not boot-tested yet.
The board pins a mainline U-Boot tag (the rk35xx family default is the Radxa
vendor U-Boot, which this board does not use), and v2026.01 was two stable
releases behind. Move to v2026.07, the newest stable tag, together with the
matching patch dir.

Port cost checked before touching anything:
 - the only shared file the board patch modifies,
   arch/arm/mach-rockchip/rk3568/Kconfig, is byte-identical between v2026.01
   and v2026.07, so that hunk applies unchanged; everything else in the patch
   adds new files (board Kconfig/MAINTAINERS, defconfig, u-boot.dtsi and the
   board DTS)
 - every defconfig symbol used (SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT in arch/Kconfig,
   ROCKCHIP_SPI_IMAGE, ROCKCHIP_RK3568, SPL_SPI*, SF_DEFAULT_*) still exists
 - every DT label referenced by the U-Boot control DTs (sdhci, sdmmc0, sfc,
   uart2, emmc_*/sdmmc0_* pinmux) resolves against rk356x-base.dtsi and
   rk3568-pinctrl.dtsi of the new tag

The new tag also brings the shared patches kept in patch/u-boot/v2026.07/,
including the PCIe LTSSM cold-boot timeout and the Zbit ZB25LQ128 SPI-NOR
support.

Not boot-tested yet: U-Boot is the bootloader, so the next image has to be
verified on hardware (version banner, SD/eMMC boot, USB, sf probe, then the
usual kernel checks). Rollback is this commit.
The vendor hook pinned armbian/linux-rockchip to rk-6.1-rkr5.1 and repeated
LINUXFAMILY/LINUXCONFIG, which the family already resolves to the same values.
With NPU, MPP/RGA media and CAM1 (OV5647 through rkisp) verified on 6.1.172,
the pin has no reason to stay: drop it and let the family track
rk-6.1-rkr7.2, so the board keeps getting Rockchip's BSP fixes instead of a
frozen 6.1.115 tree.

Checked with config-dump-json for BRANCH=vendor: KERNELSOURCE
armbian/linux-rockchip, KERNELBRANCH branch:rk-6.1-rkr7.2, KERNELPATCHDIR
rk35xx-vendor-6.1, LINUXFAMILY rk35xx, LINUXCONFIG linux-rk35xx-vendor.

The pm_domains workaround stays: the BSP tree panics on cold boot without it
(checked on 6.1.115 and 6.1.172).
CAM2 is the second CSI connector on the BB CM4: OV5647 at 0x36 on I2C3, through
csi2_dphy2 and mipi_csi2 into either rkcif (raw frames) or rkisp-vir1 over the
rkcif SDITF link. Wiring is ported from ELTAY's board DTS, same as CAM1.

It ships disabled on purpose. CAM1 and CAM2 share the PWDN line
(gpio2 RK_PC6), so only one sensor can be powered per boot, and the default
build describes the CAM1 setup that was verified on hardware. The comment above
the nodes lists exactly which statuses to flip when switching connectors.

Compile-checked with the kernel dtc from
cache/sources/linux-kernel-worktree/6.1__rk35xx__arm64: both board DTBs build,
CAM1 nodes stay enabled, the whole CAM2 path plus rkcif/rkcif_mmu are disabled.
The remaining dtc warnings are pre-existing (HDMI port cells, single-endpoint
graph noise). Not tested on hardware - the camera was connected to CAM1.
The BB CM4 exposes eDP, but the vendor DTB left the controller disabled and
no VOP output was linked to it. RK3566 wires the eDP controller to VP1 while
VP0 already drives HDMI, so enable the controller, the PHY and the
vp1_out_edp -> edp_in_vp1 link in the reference carrier.

The carrier's HPD and panel-power wiring is not documented yet, so the node
uses force-hpd until the BB CM4 schematic is available; this keeps a fixed
panel output working without a GPIO.

  • vendor stuff to armbian/linux-rockchip - no exceptions

  • mainline stuff: do v7.3 otherwise you're gonna lose your work down the line

  • mainline: too many dtsi's. you want one for the module, and plain dts for each carrier (with the module include).

  • drop board/vendor bindings patches (would be dropped by rewrite and are a major cause of conflicts in the future). do send them upstream though

  • u-boot: use bare directories (defconfigs/dt), not patches.
