[PATCH 0/2] arm64: dts: a7k: add COM Express boards

[Elad Nachman]

From: Elad Nachman <enachman@marvell.com>

Add support for Armada 7020 Express Type 7 CPU module board by Marvell.
Add device tree bindings for this board.
Define this COM Express CPU module as dtsi and provide a dtsi file for
the carrier board (Marvell DB-98CX85x0 COM Express type 7 carrier board).

Since memory is soldered on CPU module, memory node is on CPU module
dtsi file.

This Carrier board only utilizes the PCIe link, hence no special device
or driver support is provided by this dtsi file.
Devise a dts file for the combined com express carrier and CPU module.

The Aramda 7020 CPU COM Express board offers the following features:

1.  Armada 7020 CPU, with dual ARM A72 cores
2.  DDR4 memory, 8GB, on board soldered
3.  1Gbit Out of Band Ethernet via RGMII to PHY and RJ45 connector,
    all are present on A7K CPU module (none on the carrier)
4.  Optional 10G KR Ethernet going via the COM Express type 7 connector
5.  On-board 8 Gbit, 8-bit bus width NAND flash
6.  On-board 512 Mbit SPI flash
7.  PCIe Root Complex, 4 lanes PCIe gen3 connectivity, going via the
    COM Express type 7 connector
8.  m.2 SATA connector
9.  Micro-SD card connector
10. USB 2.0 via COM Express type 7 connector
11. Two i2c interfaces - one to the CPU module, and one to the
    carrier board via the COM Express type 7 connector
12. UART (mini USB connector by virtue of FT2232D UART to USB
    converter, connected to the Armada 7020 UART0)

My bot found new DTB warnings on the .dts files added or changed in this
series.

Some warnings may be from an existing SoC .dtsi. Or perhaps the warnings
are fixed by another series. Ultimately, it is up to the platform
maintainer whether these warnings are acceptable or not. No need to reply
unless the platform maintainer has comments.

If you already ran DT checks and didn't see these error(s), then
make sure dt-schema is up to date:

  pip3 install dtschema --upgrade


This patch series was applied (using b4) to base:
 Base: attempting to guess base-commit...
 Base: tags/next-20260121 (exact match)
 Base: tags/next-20260121 (use --merge-base to override)

If this is not the correct base, please add 'base-commit' tag
(or use b4 which does this automatically)

Does this mean we should add 10gbase-kr to the phy-mode enum list in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/marvell?

Adding it would likely resolve the warning, but I’m not sure if it’s the
correct approach from the driver’s perspective. That’s why I’ve included
Andrew in the To field and added Maxime as well.

Gregory

No, 10gbase-kr is legacy, one should use "10gbase-r" instead, cf commit

e0f909bc3a24 ("net: switch to using PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_10GBASER rather than 10GKR")

That should probably be documented in the bindings at some point :)

You applied the .dts, but not the binding. So now more warnings...
Please apply the binding too.

It seems the .dts files are in 7.0 and the binding is only in next.
The binding needs to go into 7.0 too.

Please pay attention to the warnings. There are only 19 (unique ones)
left for marvell since I fixed most of them.

Sorry for this. I have now applied the binding, and it will be included
