[PATCH v3 0/8] arm64: Add Axiado AX3005 SoC and EVK support

From: Swark Yang

Date: Thu Jul 16 2026 - 23:53:24 EST


This series adds initial device tree support for the Axiado AX3005 SoC
and its evaluation board (EVK).

The AX3005 uses Cadence-derived UART/I2C/I3C/GPIO and Synopsys
DesignWare SPI IP blocks. These are already described by
existing bindings, so the device tree reuses the "axiado,ax3000-*",
"cdns,*" and "snps,*" compatible strings; only a new SoC/board
level compatible is added.

Patch 1 adds the AX3005 board/SoC compatible strings to the Axiado
platform binding.
Patch 2 adds the AX3005 SoC dtsi, the EVK board dts, and the Makefile
entry. The EVK enables the CPUs, timer, GPIO, UART, I2C, I3C, SPI and
USB controllers.

Validated with:
- make CHECK_DTBS=y axiado/ax3005-evk.dtb
- make dt_binding_check DT_SCHEMA_FILES=axiado.yaml
- boot-tested on the AX3005 EVK (to init CLI via ramfs)

Changes in v3:
- Added SoC-specific compatibles (e.g., axiado,ax3005-gpio) with appropriate
fallbacks to all IP blocks (UART, I3C, I2C, SPI, USB, GPIO).
- Added corresponding dt-bindings patches for all updated IPs.
- Renamed l2-cache0 node to l2-cache to drop the unnecessary unit address.
- Fixed DT node sorting.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260705-upstream-axiado-ax3005-upstream-v2-0-2dfbd1448f81@xxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v2:
- Confirmed with internal team that AX3005 BootROM multiplexes the
single release address for SMP bring-up.
- Corrected architectural timer PPIs and VGIC maintenance interrupt
polarity to active-low.
- Aligned memory node unit-address with reg base address
(@81000000).
- Removed 'arm,cpu-registers-not-fw-configured' property from the
timer node.
- Collected Conor Dooley's Acked-by for the dt-binding patch.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260624-upstream-axiado-ax3005-upstream-v1-0-c05bd0bc9124@xxxxxxxxxx
