[PATCH v2 1/2] riscv: dts: spacemit: k1: mark boot-critical SoC nodes bootph-pre-ram

From: Hung-Chun Tseng

Date: Sat Oct 17 2026 - 15:00:12 EST


A bootloader SPL that follows the K1 BootROM runs from SRAM before DRAM
is up. It needs the root clocks, the clock and reset controllers, the
console UART, the I2C bus of the PMIC (i2c8, which every K1 board
uses), and the boot media controllers: SD (sdhci0), eMMC and QSPI NOR.
Mark these nodes bootph-pre-ram so an SPL can use the upstream device
tree as is, instead of carrying the tags in per-board overlays.

These are the SoC nodes that the mainline U-Boot SPL for K1 currently
tags in its board -u-boot.dtsi files.
