v5 cover Add support for Variscite VAR-SOM-MX8QM and Symphony board

This patch series adds support for the Variscite VAR-SOM-MX8 QuadMax system on module and the Symphony carrier board.

The series includes:
- SOM device tree with on-module peripherals
- Symphony carrier board device tree with board-specific features

The implementation follows the standard SOM + carrier board pattern where the SOM dtsi contains only peripherals mounted on the module, while carrier-specific interfaces are enabled in the board dts.

v4->v5:
- Fix sai7 clock
- Fix codec regulator voltage

v3->v4:
- Fix sai peripherals clocks
- Add comment to clarify 1GB variant

v2->v3:
- Fix led typo
- Moved reset-gpios in pciea_port0
- Removed wrong captouch pinctrl gpio

v1->v2:
- Added non-removable property to usdhc3
- Removed unused fec gpio pinctrl
- Fix ptn5150 interrupt
- Fix ecspi1 cs gpio

PATCH v5 2/3 arm64: dts: freescale: Add support for Variscite VAR-SOM-MX8 QuadMax

In reply to Stefano Radaelli

From: Stefano Radaelli <[email protected]>

Add device tree support for the Variscite VAR-SOM-MX8 QuadMax system on module.
This SOM is designed to be used with various carrier boards.

The module includes:
- NXP i.MX8 QuadMax MPU processor
- Up to 8GB of LPDDR4 memory
- Up to 128GB of eMMC storage memory
- Integrated 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Transceiver
- Codec audio WM8904
- WIFI6 dual-band 802.11ax/ac/a/b/g/n with optional 802.15.4 and Bluetooth

Only SOM-specific peripherals are enabled by default. Carrier board specific interfaces are left disabled to be enabled in the respective carrier board device trees.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The usdhc3 WiFi SDIO host is marked non-removable but assigns user-space WiFi initialization GPIOs to its pinctrl state, breaking initialization.
- [Medium] The statically defined memory node declares 1GB of RAM, but the linux,cma region is placed strictly outside this memory range.
- [Low] The audio regulator node is named regulator-3p3v but configured for 1.8V.

Author: Stefano Radaelli <[email protected]>

arm64: dts: freescale: Add support for Variscite VAR-SOM-MX8 QuadMax

Add device tree support for the Variscite VAR-SOM-MX8 QuadMax system on module. The module includes an i.MX8 QuadMax processor, LPDDR4 memory, eMMC, Ethernet, audio codec, and WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but the node name specifies 3.3V while the configured voltage is explicitly 1.8V. Should this node be named regulator-1p8v instead?

[Severity: Medium]
Does this CMA allocation succeed if the bootloader doesn't dynamically patch the memory size?

The memory@80000000 node declares 1GB of RAM (ending at 0xBFFFFFFF), but this CMA region is hardcoded to start at 0xC0000000, which falls outside that default 1GB range.

[Severity: High]
Will this configuration prevent the WiFi module from initializing?

Since usdhc3 is marked non-removable, the MMC driver will attempt to probe the SDIO bus immediately during boot. Because the pinctrl_wifi group (containing the initialization GPIOs) is bound to the MMC driver here, user space cannot claim or toggle these pins to power up the WiFi chip.

The probe may fail permanently since the chip is unpowered during the kernel probe. Could this be modeled using mmc-pwrseq-simple so the kernel handles the power sequence automatically before probing?

This commit adds device tree support for the Variscite Symphony carrier board equipped with the VAR-SOM-MX8 QuadMax system on module. It defines nodes and pinmuxing for various peripherals including USB, Ethernet, SD card, I2C, and PCIe.

[Severity: High]
Does this sequence cause the PHY to be reset while its power is still off?

When fec1 probes and registers the MDIO bus, the MDIO core toggles the reset-gpios for this PHY. However, the main power supply (reg_fec_phy) might not be turned on yet because it's assigned to fec2 below.

[Severity: High]
Should phy-supply be placed in the ethphy1 node rather than the fec2 node?

If phy-supply is here in the MAC node, power is only turned on when fec2 probes. This leaves the PHY un-reset after power-up, because the MDIO reset already happened earlier during the fec1 probe.

This usually prevents the PHY from communicating over MDIO or establishing a link.
