Hello,
This series adds initial support for Marvell's PXA1908 ARM64 SoC and Samsung's Galaxy Core Prime VE LTE, a smartphone based on said SoC.
On this board, U-Boot is used as a secondary bootloader to work around certain quirks of the factory S-Boot.

What is the status of getting these dtsi files upstream? Thanks.
They are the last component of PXA1908 support waiting to be merged, see https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241104-pxa1908-lkml-v13-0-e050609b8d6c@skole.h... .
In case you're asking this to see whether the board could use OF_UPSTREAM, I should note that the dtsi files in this set differ from the ones waiting to be merged into Linux differ by being slimmed down, having different compatibles in a few places (CPU and serial ports specifically) and the coreprimevelte dts also has an extra property `pxa,rev-id` which the stock bootloader requires for booting. Could all this be handled in a `pxa1908-samsung-coreprimevelte-u- boot.dtsi` and `pxa1908-u-boot.dtsi` once they are upstreamed?
Yes, this is about moving to OF_UPSTREAM. Strictly and only with respect to things that we have to deal with due to other bootloaders can we deal with problems like that in the -u-boot.dtsi file. Otherwise we need to match compatibles, etc, with upstream. Thanks!
