1)Changes
- Rebased the patches for linux-4.4.7
- Added patch to fix spi nor fifo and dma support
- Added patch to configure watchdog barktime
2)Testing
Tested on IPQ AP148 Board:
a. NOR boot and NAND boot
b. ethernet network and ath10k wifi
c. ubi sysupgrade
UnTested
dwc3 usb has not been validated on IPQ board(AP148)
3)Known Issues:
Once we flash ubi image on AP148, and if we reset the board, uboot on
first boot creates PEB and LEB for dynamic sized partitions, which is incorrect
and not what linux expects which causes errors when trying to mount rootfs.
In order to test this, we can use the below steps:
a. Flash the ubi image on board and don't reset the board
b. load the kernel fit image in RAM and boot from there.

ARCH_QCOM is using the ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM option, as now recommended
on most ARM architectures. This automatically calculate ZRELADDR by
masking PHYS_OFFSET with 0xf8000000.
On IPQ806x though, the first ~20MB of RAM is reserved for the hardware.
In newer bootloader, when DT is used, this is not a problem, we just
reserve this memory in the device tree. But if the bootloader doesn't
have DT support, then ATAGS have to be used. In this case, the ARM
decompressor will position the kernel in this low mem, which will not be
in the RAM section mapped by the bootloader, which means the kernel will
freeze in the middle of the boot process trying to map the memory.
As a work around, this patch allows disabling AUTO_ZRELADDR when
ARCH_QCOM is selected. It makes the zImage usage possible on bootloaders
which don't support device-tree, which is the case on certain early
IPQ806x based designs.
