Subject: [PATCH 7/7] arm64: dts: mediatek: Add support for MT6795 Sony Xperia M5 smartphone

Add a basic support for the Sony Xperia M5 (codename "Holly")
smartphone, powered by a MediaTek Helio X10 SoC.

This achieves a console boot.

Lowercase hex in size. Also, doesn't the bootloader fill it in?

Is that true for all devices with this SoC, or..? If so, it may be worth
moving this into mt6795.dtsi.

I was suggesting replacing xperia-m5 with holly, but since we agreed on
keeping

m5 in the dtb name, I suppose it's fine for this one to stay too.

Ugh. If only vendors tested their software before shipping it to users..

I think it's worth to adding a comment mentioning that, though.

Wow that's bad.. probably deserves a comment to prevent 'cleanups'
breaking this.

I prefer using the commercial name to identify the device.
"Holly" is the smartphone project codename and that is mentioned almost nowhere:
the aim here is to enhance readability as to make it immediately understandable
that this devicetree is for the Xperia M5 device.

I'm sorry, but I can't understand the sense of adding that compatible string to
the mix. To the kernel, it doesn't mean anything - and we already have another
string advertising the specific machine, which is "sony,xperia-m5".

Of course, there is no Xperia M5 with a different SoC and, even if there was a
xperia-m5 with a different SoC, we anyway have both a machine compatible and a
SoC compatible in here, so that would still not pose any issue.

Updating the device to the latest software version will give you a bootloader
that fills that in, but the first-ever software release contains one that will
not do that in particular conditions (fastboot boot).

I'm afraid that's not possible, as the bootloader is reading the devicetree
and requires these nodes to follow this naming.

Sorry again, I forgot to reply to this question, so addressing that now:
no, that's not true for all devices with this SoC.

I'm practically sure that all commercial devices that were shipped at that time
require the same, but here upstream we also have a MT6795 dev board devicetree,
which uses a much newer bootloader and possibly needs a different secmon carveout,
if any at all.

Hence, this one cannot be transferred to mt6795.dtsi.
