PATCH v3 1/1 qcom: ipq40xx: Add basic board/dts support for IPQ40XX SoC

Add initial dts files and SoC support for IPQ40XX

---
Changes in v2:
- Added devicetree bindings documentation

Changes in v3:
- Split 'gcnt' into a separate patch
- Added the new entries to Makefiles, Kconfig & board.c in sorted order
- Used "qcom,ipq40xx" instead of "qcom,ipq40xx-r3pc" in board.c

Add initial dts files and SoC support for IPQ40XX

So far we haven't added any Xs in the model names for our SoC support. Even for IPQ806X, we have it as IPQ8064 as the config name with IPQ806x in the help text because there's IPQ8062 out there. So I guess it should be IPQ4019 or something?

Drop this clock-frequency part if you can. The hardware should properly report the frequency.

Cannot drop this. This is the ref-clock frequency. For the chip it is 48MHz, for emulation is ~20MHz. Similar to

And these two should also go as a separate patch.

Ok.

Doesn't the bootloader fill the memory node for us? Why do we need this?

Please don't add bootargs. Use stdout-path for the console part and everything else should be done by the bootloader or is the defaults.

Since this is for the emulation platform, we don't have the bootloader.

Why are we upstreaming an emulation platform?

I assume you have some sort of scripts or something to load the kernel image into the emulator, so those scripts could go and modify the dtb in place to populate the initrd and commandline. If you need pointers on that feel free to contact me directly.

Drop this clock-frequency part if you can. The hardware should properly report the frequency.

Quoted 3 lines

Cannot drop this. This is the ref-clock frequency. For the chip it is 48MHz, for emulation is ~20MHz. Similar to
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-msm8974.dtsi#n89

And the hardware is not emulated properly to report the actual frequency that the timer is running at? That's sad.

At the least, this should be in the board specific dtsi file instead of the SoC specific file, because it's a board quirk.

Ok, will skip this.
