There are two new SoC families this time, and both appear fairly similar:
The Nuvoton MA35D1 and the STMicroelectronics STM32MP2 are both dual-core
Cortex-A35 based chips for the low-power industrial embedded market,
and they mark the first 64-bit product in a widely used family of 32-bit
Arm MCUs and SoCs.
The way into the kernel is completely different here: The team at ST has
a long history of working upstream with their STM32MP1 and other SoCs,
and they produced a complete port to arm64 together with the initial
announcement. Nuvoton also has multiple SoC product lines with current
or previous upstream support, but those are maintained by third parties
and are unrelated. The patch series from Nuvoton's Jacky Huang had to
go through many revisisions to get to this point and is still missing
a few drivers including the serial port for the moment.
The branch contains the devicetree files as well as all the code changes,
in order to have something that can be tested standalone.
