[PATCH v2 0/4] Add minimal boot support for Qualcomm IPQ9650 SoC
From: Kathiravan Thirumoorthy
Date: Wed Apr 29 2026 - 11:33:06 EST
Qualcomm IPQ9650 is a networking SoC targeted at routers, gateways, and
access points. This change adds minimal support required to boot the
IPQ9650 RDP488 board.
Compared to earlier IPQ SoCs, IPQ9650 features a heterogeneous CPU
configuration with four Cortex-A55 cores and one Cortex-A78 core, a
2 MB shared L3 cache, SMMU support, IPCC, five PCIe Gen3 controllers,
an integrated CDSP for task offloading, enhanced PPE capabilities,
and DDR5 memory support.

Changes in v2:
- Collected the R-b tags
- Add the ARM64 dependency to the GCC driver and enable it by default to
align with Krzysztof's effort to cleanup the defconfig
- Updated the GICv3 interrupt-cells to 4 and added the ppi-partitions
and hooked up with the PMU instances.
- Made the labels to lower case and kept the \n before status property
- Dropped the defconfig patch
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260415-ipq9650_boot_to_shell-v1-0-b37eb4c3a1d1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
