[PATCH v7 5/6] ARM: dts: zte: Add D-Link DWR-932M support

Stefan Dösinger
2026-04-29T19:14:39Z

This adds base DT definition for zx297520v3 and one board that consumes it.

The stock kernel does not use the armv7 timer, but it seems to work
fine. The board has other board-specific timers that would need a driver
and I see no reason to bother with them since the arm standard timer
works.

The caveat is the non-standard GIC setup needed to handle the timer's
level-low PPI. This is the responsibility of the boot loader and
documented in Documentation/arch/arm/zte/zx297520v3.rst.

Changes in
v6: Squash board + timer + uart patches into one
v5: Prepend the SoC name in the device specific DTS filename.
v4:
Declare all uarts
Remove the UART aliases for now. I can revisit this when I get my
hands on a board that exposes two UARTs.
