[PATCH v7 0/3] arm64: dts: freescale: add Free Mobile Nodebox v3 CPU Module (LX2160A)

[PATCH v7 0/3] arm64: dts: freescale: add Free Mobile Nodebox v3 CPU Module (LX2160A)

[Vincent Jardin via B4 Relay]

The Nodebox v3 is a Free Mobile CPU module built around the NXP LX2160A
(16x Cortex-A72, DPAA2).

The same fsl-lx2160a-nbxv3.dtsi shall be used verbatim by the
U-Boot port, sent in parallel to the U-Boot list, so the two trees
cannot drift.

Dependency:

the DTS uses gpio hogs on the QorIQ GPIO controllers, which
needs the commit
  78c0baf85cd0 ("dt-bindings: gpio: fsl,qoriq-gpio: allow gpio-hog child nodes")
already in gpio/for-next and that will likely arrive in v7.4-rc1.
Until it lands, dtbs_check reports the five hog nodes, the rest of the
tree validates clean against the current schemas.

About the patch 2, following Krzysztof's question on v5: the CPU module
boots on its own, so it is listed as a plain LX2160A board. It is also
a SoM that will support many carrier boards.

But those carrier boards are still work in progress, so they are not part
of this series yet. When they will be, fsl.yaml should get them (not
included with this series, just for comments and TBC):

Changes in v7:
- gpio3: both USB over-current different names (Frank Li, Sashiko)
- dt-bindings: arm: fsl: Acked-by Krzysztof Kozlowski
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260913-for-upstream-nbxv3-dts-v6-0-058566b93ba1@free.fr

Changes in v6:
- dt-bindings: arm: fsl: freemobile,nbxv3 no 1 entry enum for the
  "LX2160A based Boards" (Krzysztof Kozlowski)
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260912-for-upstream-nbxv3-dts-v5-0-ead604dba61b@free.fr

Changes in v5:
- read dts-coding-style: many reorder/cleanup including
  comments from Frank Li without functional changes
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260911-for-upstream-nbxv3-dts-v4-0-2fd07d5575ab@free.fr

Changes in v4:
- dt-bindings: arm: fsl: commit message like the other ones (Krzysztof Kozlowski)
- Acked-by on the vendor prefix
- Drop U-Boot comments from the DTS commit message (Frank Li)
- Boot NOR reset: reset-gpios on flash@0 instead of a gpio hog (Frank Li)
- ethsw-mdio-en: regulator-fixed instead of a gpio hog (Frank Li)
- ethsw-reset#: hog dropped (Frank Li)
- pltrst#: platform without consumer node
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260908-for-upstream-nbxv3-dts-v3-0-1d88b2c11680@free.fr

Changes in v3:
- Drop the thermtrip hog on gpio1 line 23, should have been clean'd
  before
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260907-for-upstream-nbxv3-dts-v2-0-6b4afd36180b@free.fr

Changes in v2: (from Sashiko's comments)
- Makefile: dtb entry in alphabetical order (before qds).
- Move the XSPI1_A_DATA[7:4] GPIO mux group from &fspi to &gpio1, so
  the reset hogs on gpio1 do not depend on the fspi probe.
- gpio hogs: describe ethsw-reset# and ethsw-mdio-en with their
  active-low polarity (GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW), same electrical levels.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260907-for-upstream-nbxv3-dts-v1-0-f43fd0028b78@free.fr
