[PATCH v7 00/15] Ambarella CV75 SoC minimal bring-up

From: Long Zhao via B4 Relay

Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 07:17:45 EST


This series adds minimal Ambarella CV75 support for early bring-up with
a serial console: DT bindings, RCT clocks, pinctrl, PL061 GPIO via
gpio-regmap, 8250_dw UART quirks, ARCH_AMBARELLA, CV75 EVK DT, and
MAINTAINERS.

This is a single unified series. Please apply via the SoC
tree; subsystem maintainers are Cc'd for their pieces.

GPIO data path uses gpio-regmap with two layouts (ARM PrimeCell and
Ambarella). IRQ stays a custom PL061 irqchip: a linear domain is
created after gpio_regmap_register(), attached with
gpiochip_irqchip_add_domain() via gpio_regmap_get_chip(), and the
chained handler uses gpio_chip as chip data. gpio-regmap girq and
regmap-irq are not used.

Verified with:
- scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict (0 errors)
- make dt_binding_check DT_SCHEMA_FILES=ambarella:pl061-gpio.yaml:syscon.yaml:snps-dw-apb-uart.yaml
- make CHECK_DTBS=y ambarella/cv75-evk.dtb
- arm64 build of new drivers/DTS
- CV75 EVK: console via 8250_dw (dw-apb-uart); GPIO edge IRQ
(gpio-hammer / gpio-event-mon)

Changes in v7:
- gpio: 10/15 convert ARM PL061 to gpio-regmap; 11/15 add Ambarella
layout with a second gpio_regmap config (Andy)
- gpio: 10/15 drop gpio-regmap girq; custom irqchip with a linear
domain, gpio_chip chip data, and a chained handler (Andy)
- gpio-regmap: 08/15 write_data_after_dir; 09/15 gpio_regmap_get_chip()
and quirk kerneldoc (Andy)
- dt-bindings: gpio: 05/15 $ref arm/primecell.yaml and
unevaluatedProperties (Rob)
- clk: fold the RCT driver into a single clk-cv75.c (Jerome)
- serial: 8250_dw startup only updates the up->ier shadow (Ilpo)
- collect lore tags on unchanged patches (Linus Reviewed-by; Krzysztof
Acked-by on the UART binding)

Changes in v6:
- gpio: convert gpio-pl061 data path to gpio-regmap; keep PL061 irqchip
(Andy, Linus). Add write_data_after_dir + girq helpers to gpio-regmap.
Ambarella layout uses JEP106 periphid 0x000e8061; no AFSEL clearing in
the GPIO driver; Ambarella skips unverified GPIO PM save/restore
- serial: restore 8250_dw Ambarella quirks from v3; drop standalone
8250_ambarella (Andy). Commit message clarifies Ambarella IP with a
DW-like register map needing only a thin quirk. Binding under
snps-dw-apb-uart; DT uses ambarella,cv75-uart + snps,dw-apb-uart with
reg-shift/reg-io-width
- clock/RCT: document #reset-cells (Krzysztof); soft-reset ID header and
reset provider deferred (no resets= consumers in this series)
- arm64/Kconfig: do not select ARM_PSCI / HAVE_ARM_ARCH_TIMER (Sashiko)
- pinctrl: no Ambarella suspend/resume claim without validated PM
