[PATCH v4 00/10] Axiado AX3000 SoC and Evaluation Board Support

From: Harshit Shah
Date: Tue Jul 01 2025 - 16:28:02 EST


This patch series adds initial support for the Axiado AX3000 SoC and its
evaluation board.

The AX3000 is a multi-core system-on-chip featuring four ARM Cortex-A53
cores, secure vault, hardware firewall, and AI acceleration engines. This
initial support enables basic bring-up of the SoC and evaluation platform
with CPU, timer, UART, and I3C functionality.

The series begins by adding the "axiado" vendor prefix and compatible
strings for the SoC and board. It then introduces the device tree files
and minimal ARCH_AXIADO platform support in arm64.

Patch breakdown:
- Patch 1 add the vendor prefix entry
- Patch 2 document the SoC and board bindings
- Patch 3 convert cdns,gpio.txt to gpio-cdns.yaml
- Patch 4 add binding for ax3000 gpio controller
- Patch 5 add binding for ax3000 uart controller
- Patch 6 add binding for ax3000 i3c controller
- Patch 7 add Axiado SoC family
- Patch 8 add device tree for the ax3000 & ax3000-evk
- Patch 9 add ARCH_AXIADO in defconfig
- Patch 10 update MAINTAINERS file

Note: A few checkpatch.pl warnings appear due to DT binding conversions and
MAINTAINERS update. The binding conversion and includes were kept together in
patch 3/10 due to their close relationship, but we are happy to split them if
preferred.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.
