This series adds basic support for the Nuvoton WPCM450 BMC SoC. It's an older
SoC but still commonly found on eBay, mostly in Supermicro X9 server boards.

Third-party documentation is available at: https://github.com/neuschaefer/wpcm450/wiki

Patches 1-4 add devicetree bindings for the WPCM450 SoC and its various parts.
Patches 5-7 add arch and driver support. Patches 8 and 9 add a devicetree for
the SoC and a board based on it. Patch 10 finally updates the MAINTAINERS file.

Patch 2 requires "dt-bindings: arm: Convert nuvoton,npcm750 binding to YAML"
(https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210320164023.614059-1-j.neuschaefer@gmx.net/)


v2:
- Various improvements to the AIC irqchip driver, thanks to Marc Zyngier's review
- I dropped the timer patches, which have been applied by Daniel Lezcano
- I dropped the serial patches, which have been applied to tty-next by Greg KH

v1:
- https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210320181610.680870-1-j.neuschaefer@gmx.net/

Hi Jonathan,

It appears these patches are doing roughly the right thing, and we may still
be able to get them into v5.13, but I'm not sure what your plan for maintaining
them is. The two options are that you either send your patches to be picked up
by Joel, or you send everything directly to soc@kernel.org once it's fully
reviewed.

I only noticed your series when patch 9/10 made it into the soc@kernel.org
patchwork because of the Cc, but none of the other ones did.

If you end up with the second option, we can go through what this involves
off-list.

Regarding the Cc:soc@kernel.org, please add that only for patches that
are already reviewed and ready to be picked up, ideally with a cover letter
that describes what the plan is for merging. If you need me to review the
platform code, use my arnd@arndb.de or arnd@kernel.org addresses.

          Arnd

The route via Joel sounds alright with me. I've Cc'd him on this version
of the series.

Ah sorry, soc@kernel.org slipped in automatically because of get_maintainers.pl.

The platform code[1] is rather simple, essentially just hooking up the
nuvoton,wpcm450 compatible string.


Thanks,
Jonathan

I've had a look at the series and it looks good to me:

Reviewed-by: Joel Stanley <joel@jms.id.au>

Nice work Jonathan.

I'll put this in it's own branch along with the bindings change it
depends on and send a pull request to Arnd for v5.13.

Cheers,

Joel

Thanks a bunch!

A few patches are going through other branches (IRQ bindings+driver;
watchdog bindings+driver probably, I guess). That leaves the following
patches to go into your branch, AFAIUI:

[PATCH v2 01/10] dt-bindings: vendor-prefixes: Add Supermicro
[PATCH v2 02/10] dt-bindings: arm: npcm: Add nuvoton,wpcm450 compatible string
[PATCH v2 05/10] ARM: npcm: Introduce Nuvoton WPCM450 SoC
[PATCH v2 08/10] ARM: dts: Add devicetree for Nuvoton WPCM450 BMC chip
[PATCH v2 09/10] ARM: dts: Add devicetree for Supermicro X9SCi-LN4F based on WPCM450
[PATCH v2 10/10] MAINTAINERS: Add entry for Nuvoton WPCM450

Actually for an initial merge, we sometimes just put all the patches into one
branch in the soc tree to avoid conflicts. Unfortunately we already have a
(trivial) conflict now anyway since I merged the irqchip driver for the Apple
M1 SoC through the soc tree but the wpcm irqchip through the irqchip tree.

You did nothing wrong here, this would have just been a way to make the
initial merge a bit easier, and have a tree that is more easily bisectible
when one branch in the merge window contains all the code that is
needed for booting.
