Replace every em dash with real punctuation (rewrites, not hyphen swaps)
in docs, code comments, scripts, configs, and the port records; convert
en dashes, curly quotes, ellipsis glyphs, arrows, and section signs to
ASCII; drop machine-writing tell phrases from living docs. ADR titles
now use a colon. The M2 bring-up DTS model string carried an em dash
into the patch series and its record echoes; fixed at both, and the full
series re-verified to apply cleanly onto pristine 6.18.46. One comment
in freshness.h deliberately names the em dash glyph the UI renders as
the unknown mark; that is data, kept as prose naming it.
Verified: cargo tests (sim, config-lint, rs485-bridge), shellcheck,
both driver MC/DC harnesses, patches-apply.
M1 is complete (clk + pinctrl + mach compile clean); this reaches M2's build
milestone. multi_v7_defconfig + configs/m2-earlycon.fragment builds an 11.8 MB
zImage with clk-rv1106.o and pinctrl-rockchip.o (our rv1106 data) compiled into
the full tree — no rv1106 warnings. dts/rv1106-warden-m2.dts (CPU, GIC-400, arch
timer, 256 MiB RAM, GRF, the CRU, uart2 as snps,dw-apb-uart) compiles clean at
W=1 with earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0xff4c0000. Reproducible via build-m2.sh.
Boot is the next step and is on-hardware/attended: package zImage + dtb, load on
a bench unit with a recovery net, watch for the earlycon "it's alive". PORT-VERIFY
before trusting a boot: DDR size/base, the CPU clock mux, console baud.
