      eMMC bootloader, various p-boot boot configs on either eMMC or SD card's bootfs filesystems,
      boot menu, etc. via reboot() syscall with extra arg (see LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_RESTART2)
      (p-boot is also updated to support this mechanism, as of 2021-02-15)

    2020-12-05:
    - modem power driver: add more powerup modes and change interface for dumb and fastboot powerup
      - you can now write 2, 3 or 4 to .../powered sysfs file to select differnt powerup mode from
        the normal one (1)
      - this is useful for selecting alternate userspace configurations early in boot to allow
        tracing the userspace processes from early on for reverse engineering, and in the near
        future, it will be used to switch between original and fully-FOSS userspace code
        running on the modem's APPS CPU on powerup
        - see https://xnux.eu/log/#028
    2020-12-02:
    - fix WiFi blocking suspend
    - improve modem power driver interaction with kernel's autosleep
    - shorten resume times from 1.2s to 400ms (wifi driver optimization)
    2020-11-30:
    - I improved the anx7688 driver to actually respect PD capabilities of the source,
      and don't overload it. This should make it more likely to work with the USB-C
      docks when docks are powered.
    - Pine64 dock can provide either 500mA when powered from regular USB-A charger
      (regardless of what kind of charger it is, it can't use more current from it)
    - With my 3A PD charger, Pine64 dock will advertise 2600mA and Pinephone will
      now respect this limit.
    - rebase on linus/master (5.10-rc6 atm)
    - increase I2C clock for sensors and touchscreen/anx7688 from 100kHz to 400kHz
    - added patch from https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/dri-devel/cover/20200222024210.18697-1-yuq825@gmail.com/#23237865

    - Integrated Clément's panfrost DVFS series (20200704102535.189647-1-peron.clem@gmail.com)
    
    My kernel's main integration branch is 'orange-pi-$VER' (this one).
    No other branch is supposed to work alone. My defconfigs are tested
    and work on the boards I support. Read the README.md for more info.
    
    Only my branches based on the current mainline kernel branch are
    maintained (those are usually the -rc# kernels!). You can find the
    current mainline version here https://www.kernel.org/ (mainline: ...)
    
    My prebuilt kernels can be found at https://xff.cz/kernels/ You can
    use them to test that your board works, or just run them without
    bothering with building everything yourself. I run them on all my
    boards.
    
    My website is https://xnux.eu and may contain useful advice.
    
    Good luck!

    My kernel's main integration branch is 'orange-pi-$VER' (this one).
    No other branch is supposed to work alone. My defconfigs are tested
    and work on the boards I support. Read the README.md for more info.
    
    Only my branches based on the current mainline kernel branch are
    maintained (those are usually the -rc# kernels!). You can find the
    current mainline version here https://www.kernel.org/ (mainline: ...)
    
    My prebuilt kernels can be found at https://xff.cz/kernels/ You can
    use them to test that your board works, or just run them without
    bothering with building everything yourself. I run them on all my
    boards.
    
    My website is https://xnux.eu and may contain useful advice.
    
    Good luck!

    Apple M1 SoC platform bring-up
    
    This series brings up initial support for the Apple M1 SoC, used in the
    2020 Mac Mini, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air models.
    
    The following features are supported in this initial port:
    
    - UART (samsung-style) with earlycon support
    - Interrupts, including affinity and IPIs (Apple Interrupt Controller)
    - SMP (through standard spin-table support)
    - simplefb-based framebuffer
    - Devicetree for the Mac Mini (should work for the others too at this
      stage)
    
    == Merge notes ==
    
    This tag is based on v5.12-rc3 and includes the following two
    dependencies merged in:
    
    * Tip of arm64/for-next/fiq: 3889ba70102e
      This is a hard (build) dependency that adds support for FIQ
      interrupts, which is required for this SoC and the included AIC
      irqchip driver. It is already merged in the arm64 tree.
    
    * From tty/tty-next: 71b25f4df984
      This commit includes the Samsung UART changes that have already
      been merged into the tty tree. It is nominally a soft dependency,
      but if this series is merged first it would trigger devicetree
      validation failures as the DT included in it depends on bindings
      introduced in the tty tree.
    
      There was a merge conflict here. It has been resolved the same
      way gregkh resolved it in a later tty merge, and both tty-next
      and torvalds/master merge cleanly with this series at this time.
    
    This series additionally depends on the nVHE changes in [1] to boot,
    but we are letting those get merged through arm64.
    
    [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20210408131010.1109027-1-maz@kernel.org/T/#u
    
    == Testing notes ==
    
    This has been tested on an Apple M1 Mac Mini booting to a framebuffer
    and serial console, with SMP and KASLR, with an arm64 defconfig
    (+ CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE for the fb). In addition, the AIC driver now supports
    running in EL1, tested in UP mode only.
    
    == About the hardware ==
    
    These machines officially support booting unsigned/user-provided
    XNU-like kernels, with a very different boot protocol and devicetree
    format. We are developing an initial bootloader, m1n1 [1], to take care
    of as many hardware peculiarities as possible and present a standard
    Linux arm64 boot protocol and device tree. In the future, I expect that
    production setups will add U-Boot and perhaps GRUB into the boot chain,
    to make the boot process similar to other ARM64 platforms.
    
    The machines expose their debug UART over USB Type C, triggered with
    vendor-specific USB-PD commands. Currently, the easiest way to get a
    serial console on these machines is to use a second M1 box and a simple
    USB C cable [2]. You can also build a DIY interface using an Arduino, a
    FUSB302 chip or board, and a 1.2V UART-TTL adapter [3]. In the coming
    weeks we will be designing an open hardware project to provide
    serial/debug connectivity to these machines (and, hopefully, also
    support other UART-over-Type C setups from other vendors). Please
    contact me privately if you are interested in getting an early prototype
    version of one of these devices.
    
    We also have WIP/not merged yet support for loading kernels and
    interacting via dwc3 usb-gadget, which works with a standard C-C or C-A
    cable and any Linux host.
    
    A quickstart guide to booting Linux kernels on these machines is
    available at [4], and we are documenting the hardware at [5].
