Qualcomm IPQ9650 is a networking SoC targeted at routers, gateways, and
access points. This change adds minimal support required to boot the
IPQ9650 RDP488 board.

Compared to earlier IPQ SoCs, IPQ9650 features a heterogeneous CPU
configuration with four Cortex-A55 cores and one Cortex-A78 core, a
2 MB shared L3 cache, SMMU support, IPCC, five PCIe Gen3 controllers,
an integrated CDSP for task offloading, enhanced PPE capabilities,
and DDR5 memory support.
