[PATCH 0/8] add Voyager board support

[PATCH 0/8] add Voyager board support

[Ben Zong-You Xie]

The Voyager is a 9.6” x 9.6” Micro ATX form factor development board
including Andes QiLai SoC. This patch series adds minimal device tree
files for the QiLai SoC and the Voyager board [1].

Now only support basic uart drivers to boot up into a basic console. Other
features will be added later.

The original patchset [2] has been reviewed positively in relevant mailing
lists. Thus, send a new patchset to soc@lists.linux.dev .

Also, there is a patch dependency in this patchset:
Patch 2 <- Patch 4 <- Patch 5 <- Patch 6

Do all the Andes SoCs require all the above three configs? (If not I
would add it based on the SoC which requires it.)

Hi Prabhakar,

Thanks for your suggestion. QiLai SoC does not need below two configs
since it has IOCP. I will remove below two configs in the next version.

Thanks,
Ben

[PATCH 4/8] dt-bindings: interrupt-controller: add Andes machine-level software interrupt controller

[Ben Zong-You Xie]

Add the DT binding documentation for Andes machine-level software
interrupt controller.

In the Andes platform such as QiLai SoC, the PLIC module is instantiated a
second time with all interrupt sources tied to zero as the software
interrupt controller (PLICSW). PLICSW can generate machine-level software
interrupts through programming its registers.

[PATCH 5/8] dt-bindings: timer: add Andes machine timer

[Ben Zong-You Xie]

Add the DT binding documentation for Andes machine timer.

The RISC-V architecture defines a machine timer that provides a real-time
counter and generates timer interrupts. Andes machiner timer (PLMT0) is
the implementation of the machine timer, and it contains memory-mapped
registers (mtime and mtimecmp). This device supports up to 32 cores.

[PATCH 7/8] riscv: dts: andes: add Voyager board device tree

[Ben Zong-You Xie]

Introduce the device tree support for Voyager development board.

Currently only support booting into console with only uart,
other features will be added later.

How? These are bindings. How DTS can depend on the binding? Do you have
akcs from their subsystem maintainers that you are sending it here?

Sorry, but no, this should go via their maintainers, unless they did not
want to pick it up. Is this the case here?

Best regards,
Krzysztof

The dependency chain arises because each of these patches introduces a new file,
requiring a corresponding update to the MAINTAINERS file.

In v4 [1], Rob and Daniel attempted to merge Patch 4 and Patch 5, respectively,
but encountered conflicts in the MAINTAINERS file. That's why I specified the
patch dependencies in v5 and this patchset.

Now, I understand that binding patches are typically handled by subsystem
maintainers. To prevent the conflicts again, I think I should gather all
MAINTAINERS file changes into a single patch. Is that right?

Don't overthink that part, the MAINTAINERS file doesn't have to cleanly
bisect, so I'd just create the full entry there in the same patch
that adds the arch/riscv/Kconfig entry.
