Re: [PATCH 3/3] arm64: dts: meson-sm1: add Banana PI BPI-M5 board dts

[Martin Blumenstingl]

Hi Neil,

thanks for adding support for the BPI-M5!
I had this on my TODO-list for a long time but didn't have enough time
so far. so it's great to see this patch now :-)

maybe just "key" (as you used below for SW1)?

it's great to see that after many years at least some boards finally
can detect whether the CVBS connector is plugged it

note to self: u-boot will update this from 1GiB to 4GiB

BPI-M5-SCH-V10-Release.pdf schematics are calling this EMMC_1V8. I
suggest to use that name so it's easier to compare this with the
schematics in the future

maybe use "DC_IN" here as well so the node-name matches what we see in
userspace/kernel logs?

the vendor .dts has:
  regulator-min-microvolt = <690000>;
  regulator-max-microvolt = <1050000>;
which also matches meson-sm1-sei610.dts (which uses the same regulator IC)

I haven't checked their u-boot code but some of the newer Amlogic BSPs
seem to let the PHY add the TX delay (which is also what the netdev
maintainers recommend)
that can be achieved by setting:
  phy-mode = "rgmii-txid";
and deleting the "amlogic,tx-delay-ns" property

I think technically we'd need to use AVDD18_USB here (that said, I
chose the same approach as you are using here before..)
USB bus devices (AFAIK) still need to be detected before any
device-tree properties can be applied and there's (again AFAIK) still
no pwrseq concept.
so I guess for now this is the way to go as there's enough comments
about it in your patch
