a=openpgp; fpr=4F9C2C8728019633893EBBB98CB81F9A72BBA155 Hi, This is a follow-up on my RFC patches from January [0] for ZTE's zx297520v3 chipset. This chipset is popular in cheap LTE-to-wifi routers sold in developing countries. My goal is to run OpenWRT on them. I made more progress in more work on this SoC and it is time to get serious about code review and upstreaming. Since my version in January I managed to get more hardware running: SPI, I2C, PMIC with real time clock and voltage regulators, Watchdog. LTE is not working yet, but I am able to start the coprocessor that handles it and talk to it via mailbox + shared memory. Wifi is working on a few more devices. Since WiFi, USB and Ethernet are working, the devices can have actual use with OpenWRT even without LTE. Another hacker created a free software program to talk to the USB loader [1] and boot U-Boot and Linux without modifying the on disk files. At the moment it needs a proprietary blob, so my documentation is emphasising booting with the on-device U-Boot. This patchset here is mostly unmodified from the version I sent in January. It is the bare minimum to get an interactive shell working on the UART. Future patches can be found on my git repository [2] for those curious to peek ahead. The first 30 patches are in reasonable shape, but the further you go the more cleanup is necessary. I expect all of the patches go require a few rounds of feedback though. My plan for upstreaming is largly this: 1) This bare minimum boot patchset 2) Add clock and pinctrl drivers 3) Add standard hardware to the device tree 4) Add zx29 specific drivers one by one: Watchdog, spi, i2c, DMA, PMIC, battery 5) SDIO backend for rtl8xxxu 6) rproc, mailbox and rpmsg I am willing to maintain support for the SoC within reason. My patches add myself as maintainer. This is a hobby project for me though, keep that in mind if you want to ship a commercial product with these SoCs and upstreaming Linux.
