[PATCH v2 1/2] ARM: dts: broadcom: bcm2835-rpi: Move non simple-bus nodes to root level

[PATCH v2 1/2] ARM: dts: broadcom: bcm2835-rpi: Move non simple-bus nodes to root level

[Rob Herring (Arm)]

The 'gpu' and 'firmware' nodes are not MMIO devices, so they should not be
under a 'simple-bus'. Additionally, the "raspberrypi,bcm2835-power" node
is part of the firmware, so move it under the 'rpi-firmware' node.

Florian, you have the fixes for the prior versions in your tree, but not
the original commits they say they fix. These apply without the fixes.

v2:
 - Rebase on v7.0-rc1
 - Move "raspberrypi,bcm2835-firmware" to a child node under /firmware

[PATCH v2 2/2] arm64: dts: broadcom: bcm2712: Move non simple-bus nodes to root level

[Rob Herring (Arm)]

The 'gpu' and 'firmware' nodes are not MMIO devices, so they should not
be under a 'simple-bus', but at the root level.

If you were referring to these:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260106-dt-dtbs-broadcom-fixes-v1-2-ba45874e4553@kernel.org
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260106-dt-dtbs-broadcom-fixes-v1-3-ba45874e4553@kernel.org/

I did take them as a prerequisite to apply your patches but a combined 
set of patches works just as well.

Thank you!
