[PATCH v2 0/4] arm64: dts: qcom: Support Retroid Pocket QCS8550 Devices

[Aaron Kling via B4 Relay]

This specifically includes:
* Nova
* RP6

Retroid Pocket is effectively a sister company/brand to AYN. They are
both under Moorechip and all hardware designs are handled by Moorechip.
Thus the electrical designs are largely shared within a SoC generation.
Hence these include the AYN QCS8550 common dtsi. As such, this series
depends on the AYN QCS8550 series [0].

These two devices are almost electrically identical. The only notable
difference is the panels.

Definitions for parts of the hardware that are not yet supported by
mainline are not included. Such as:

* Panels
* All rgb leds
* The built-in uart gamepad

Changes in v2:
- In patch 1, consolidate the new devices to the existing qcs8550 list
- In patches 2 and 3, make regulator naming consistent
- In patches 2 and 3, move the mdss_dsi1 node to the correct
  alphabetical location
- In patches 2 and 3, fix some style issues with pinctrl references
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260808-rp-qcs8550-v1-0-a5a365ba3dc5@gmail.com

[PATCH v2 3/4] arm64: dts: qcom: Add Retroid Pocket 6

[Aaron Kling via B4 Relay]

From: Aaron Kling <webgeek1234@gmail.com>

The Retroid Pocket 6 is a high-performance Android-based handheld gaming
console powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor featuring a
5.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen.

This is based on the support by ROCKNIX, however their history does not
show who the original author was, so direct attribution cannot be given.

Do these actually have any common lineage with the AYNTEC devices, the
common DT for which you include above?
