[PATCH v3 0/3] arm64: Add HPE GSC platform support

[nick.hawkins]

From: Nick Hawkins <nick.hawkins@hpe.com>

Add initial platform support for the HPE GSC ARM64 BMC SoC.

Changes since v2:
- Patch 1: Removed separate ARM64/HPE GSC MAINTAINERS entry; instead
  renamed existing ARM/HPE GXP to ARM/HPE GXP/GSC and added arm64 DTS
  path there (Conor Dooley)
- Patch 2: Replaced menuconfig ARCH_HPE + nested ARCH_HPE_GSC with a
  single config ARCH_HPE; removed extra blank line (Krzysztof Kozlowski)
- Patch 3: Dropped clocks wrapper node, renamed fixed clock to
  clock-33333333; renamed ahb bus node to soc; reordered UART nodes by
  address for DTS coding style; replaced raw interrupt triplets with
  GIC_SPI/IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH defines (Krzysztof Kozlowski)

[PATCH v3 1/3] dt-bindings: arm: hpe,gxp: Add HPE GSC platform compatible

[nick.hawkins]

From: Nick Hawkins <nick.hawkins@hpe.com>

Add the HPE GSC ARM64 BMC SoC compatibles to the existing
hpe,gxp.yaml binding.

The initial board compatible is hpe,gsc-dl340gen12 for the DL340 Gen12
server platform.

Add the arm64 DTS path to the existing ARM/HPE GXP MAINTAINERS entry,
renamed to ARM/HPE GXP/GSC ARCHITECTURE.

[PATCH v3 3/3] arm64: dts: hpe: Add HPE GSC SoC and DL340 Gen12 board DTS

[nick.hawkins]

From: Nick Hawkins <nick.hawkins@hpe.com>

Add SoC-level DTSI for the HPE GSC ARM64 BMC SoC, covering the CPU
cluster, GIC v3 interrupt controller, ARM64 generic timer, and console
UART.

Add the board-level DTS for the HPE DL340 Gen12, which includes
gsc.dtsi and adds memory and chosen nodes.

What sort of ordering are you going to use in this file? Usual choice is
the fallback compatible, but I see you have chosen something else. That
is fine, just keep that else sorting in the future instead of adding to
the end.

Keep consistent SPDX, so I guess "GPL-2.0" here.

Thank you for the feedback, just to confirm are you looking for me
to do something like this?:

- description: GSC Based Boards
        items:
          - enum:
              - hpe,gsc-dl340gen12
          - const: hpe,gsc
- description: GXP Based Boards
        items:
          - enum:
              - hpe,gxp-dl360gen10
          - const: hpe,gxp

That way we have the newest first and going forward if there is
something newer we add it to the top of the list rather than
the bottom?

Thanks,

-Nick Hawkins

Yes, that's the typical/usual way.

Usual order is the alphanumerical.

If you want to order by date of release of the SoC, that's fine. I think
Allwinner does it. It's pretty non obvious because the chips are
upstreamed different time than released, so it is difficult for people
knot knowing the release dates. Just don't use the rule of "add at the
beginning" or "at the end".
