[PATCH v2 0/3] arm64: dts: qcom: Add EL2 overlay support

[Mukesh Ojha]

We have recently added initial EL2 overlay support for Lemans and there
it was not disabling zap-shader as GPU changes were not available. Lets
disables the zap-shader there. And in the similar lines add support for
Monaco and Talos SoC variants as well which support EL2 configuration.

Talos GPU changes are not merged so its overlay file has dependency
on https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260121-qcs615-spin-2-v7-0-52419b263e92@oss.qualcomm.com/#t

Changes in v2:
 - Added patch to disable zap-shader for Lemans -El2 configuration.
 - Address comments on V1 about comments placement and sorting the
   labels.
 - Added dependency.
 - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260123103503.1259645-1-mukesh.ojha@oss.qualcomm.com/

[PATCH v2 1/3] arm64: dts: qcom: lemans: disable zap-shader for EL2 configuration

[Mukesh Ojha]

We don't need to use zap shader in EL2 as Linux can zap the gpu on
it's own. Lets disable zap-shader for Lemans EL2 configuration.

[PATCH v2 2/3] arm64: dts: qcom: monaco: Add EL2 overlay

[Mukesh Ojha]

All the Monaco IOT variants boards are using Gunyah hypervisor which
means that, so far, Linux-based OS could only boot in EL1 on those
devices.  However, it is possible for us to boot Linux at EL2 on these
devices [1].

When running under Gunyah, the remote processor firmware IOMMU streams
are controlled by Gunyah. However, without Gunyah, the IOMMU is managed
by the consumer of this DeviceTree. Therefore, describe the firmware
streams for each remote processor.

Add a EL2-specific DT overlay and apply it to Monaco IOT variant
devices to create -el2.dtb for each of them alongside "normal" dtb.
