The Qualcomm device trees in U-Boot are currently not consistent with the upstream DTs used in the Linux kernel. While some bindings are similar to the official specification in the Linux kernel, several nodes have subtle differences, e.g. the "compatible"s or the exact specification of memory registers.
This means that some of the Qualcomm-related U-Boot drivers are not compatible with the Linux DT (and vice versa).
The SPMI node is one such example: the "core" region starts at 0x0200f000 in the upstream Linux MSM8916 DT, but in U-Boot it starts at 0x0200f800. The end result is normally the same, since the Linux SPMI driver simply adds the 0x800 internally.
However, commit f5a2d6b4b03a ("spmi: msm: add arbiter version 5 support") imported this behavior into the U-Boot driver, without adjusting the DB410c/DB820c device trees. This means that the 0x800 offset is now added twice, breaking all SPMI read/write operations:
Failed to find PMIC pon node. Check device tree Failed to find pm8916_gpios@c000 node. USB init failed: -6 starting USB... Bus ehci@78d9000: Failed to find pm8916_gpios@c000 node. probe failed, error -6 No working controllers found
While the mistake is strictly speaking in the spmi-msm driver, fix the issue by making the SPMI nodes in the DB410c/DB820c consistent with the upstream Linux DT instead.
Ideally we should even go a step further by fixing the remaining uses of custom bindings in the U-Boot drivers and moving to using the Linux DTs as-is. This would likely avoid such mistakes in the future and would also make the porting process much easier.

This change has been sitting in my local U-Boot clone for a couple of months already (it's broken at least since v2022.01) but I got caught up in other work and completely forgot about it. I guess no one else is actively testing U-Boot on DB410c/DB820c. :/ --- arch/arm/dts/dragonboard410c.dts | 9 +++++++-- arch/arm/dts/dragonboard820c.dts | 11 +++++++---- 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-)
