The biggest change this time is for the 32-bit devicetree files, which
are all moved to a new location, using separate subdirectories for each
SoC vendor, following the same scheme that is used on arm64, mips and
riscv. This has been discussed for many years, but so far we never did
this as there was a plan to move the files out of the kernel entirely,
which has never happened.
The impact of this will be that all external patches no longer apply,
and anything depending on the location of the dtb files in the build
directory will have to change. The installed files after 'make
dtbs_install' keep the current location.
There are six added SoCs here that are largely variants of previously
added chips. Two other chips are added in a separate branch along
with their device drivers.
* The Samsung Exynos 4212 makes its return after the Samsung Galaxy
Express phone is addded at last. The SoC support was originally
added in 2012 but removed again in 2017 as it was unused at the time.
* Amlogic C3 is a Cortex-A35 based smart IP camera chip
* Qualcomm MSM8939 (Snapdragon 615) is a more featureful variant of
the still common MSM8916 (Snapdragon 410) phone chip that has been
supported for a long time.
* Qualcomm SC8180x (Snapdragon 8cx) is one of their earlier high-end
laptop chips, used in the Lenovo Flex 5G, which is added along with
the reference board.
* Qualcomm SDX75 is the latest generation modem chip that is used
as a peripherial in phones but can also run a standalone Linux. Unlike
the prior 32-bit SDX65 and SDX55, this now has a 64-bit Cortex-A55.
* Alibaba T-Head TH1520 is a quad-core RISC-V chip based on the Xuantie
C910 core, a step up from all previously added rv64 chips.
All of the above come with reference board implementations, those included
there are 39 new board files, but only five more 32-bit this time, probably
a new low:
* Marantec Maveo board based on dhcor imx6ull module
* Endian 4i Edge 200, based on the armv5 Marvell Kirkwood chip
* Epson Moverio BT-200 AR glasses based on TI OMAP4
* PHYTEC STM32MP1-3 Dev board based on STM32MP15 PHYTEC SOM
* ICnova ADB4006 board based on Allwinner A20
On the 64-bit side, there are also fewer addded machines than
we had in the recent releases:
* Three boards based on NXP i.MX8: Emtop SoM & Baseboard,
NXP i.MX8MM EVKB board and i.MX8MP based Gateworks Venice
gw7905-2x device.
* NVIDIA IGX Orin and Jetson Orin Nano boards, both based on
tegra234
* Qualcomm gains support for 6 reference boards on various members
of their IPQ networking SoC series, as well as the Sony Xperia M4
Aqua phone, the Acer Aspire 1 laptop, and the Fxtec Pro1X board
on top of the various reference platforms for their new chips.
* Rockchips support for several newer boards: Indiedroid Nova (rk3588),
Edgeble Neural Compute Module 6B (rk3588), FriendlyARM NanoPi R2C
Plus (rk3328), Anbernic RG353PS (rk3566), Lunzn Fastrhino R66S/R68S
(rk3568)
* TI K3/AM625 based PHYTEC phyBOARD-Lyra-AM625 board and Toradex Verdin
family with AM62 COM, carrier and dev boards
Other changes to existing boards contain the usual minor improvements
along with
* continued updates to clean up dts files based on dtc warnings and
binding checks, in particular cache properties and node names
* support for devicetree overlays on at91, bcm283x
* significant additions to existing SoC support on mediatek, qualcomm,
ti k3 family, starfive jh71xx, NXP i.MX6 and i.MX8, ST STM32MP1
As usual, a lot more detail is available in the individual merge
commits.
