RTC: ported the vendor rockchip,rv1106-rtc driver (rtc-rockchip.c) to 6.18 — one
API delta (rtc_register_device -> devm_rtc_register_device). Verified on
warden-c8a3: /dev/rtc0 registers and reads.
tsadc thermal: ported the rv1106 data + rk_tsadcv9_initialize + the TSADCV9/VOGRF
macros + code table from the vendor; adapted .chn_id[SENSOR_CPU] -> .chn_offset
for 6.18. Verified: thermal_zone0 "soc-thermal" reads 39.8 C.
i2s-tdm: rv1126 fallback compatible added (DAI builds; sound card needs the acodec
port next). saradc still -22 (clk-rv1106 SARADC divider — deferred).
Includes the NPU + RGA open-source port plans (research): rknpu kernel driver is a
small port (RV1106 config already in the vendor driver; 4 dead-code headers need
compat stubs) but no open userspace exists for this NPU gen; RGA = port the vendor
char-dev rga3 driver (WardenOS's librga uses /dev/rga, not V4L2), + a cma pool +
hrtimer_setup. All ports are open source (vendor C source / mainline siblings).

The brief: port/enable every remaining RV1106 hardware capability on 6.18,
open-source-first (source we own + can harden, never blobs), new drivers if
needed, zero capabilities left on the table. Priority: AIC8800 wifi/BT, RGA,
rknpu, RTC, tsadc, i2s, saradc-fix, eth0-gadget, then a full capabilities audit.
Display deferred to tomorrow (needs eyes on the panel). Pipelined: research
subagents ∥ port/build/verify on c8a3; krecover-hardened for resilience.

usb2phy: ported the RV1106 inno-usb2 phy config to 6.18 (rv1106_usb2phy_cfg;
fields map 1:1 except utmi_iddig->utmi_id and chg_mode->opmode; 5.10-only
iddig_output/en/bvalid_grf_sel dropped; phy_tuning left off, guarded so safe).
With PHY_ROCKCHIP_INNO_USB2=y + the u2phy/usbdrd/dwc3 DT enabled, verified on
warden-c8a3: the DWC3 comes up as xhci-hcd @ 0xffb00000 — USB host works. eth0
gadget just needs dr_mode=peripheral.
saradc: added rv1106_saradc_data (2-ch v2, matches the vendor) + the native
compatible. Driver now matches; probe still returns -22 (a clk-rate/setup detail,
not the data) — TODO.
Also captured: the growing board dts (USB nodes), the port fragments under usb/
and adc/. DRIVER-PARITY.md updated: ~14 drivers now at parity on 6.18.

The RV1106 VOP is the RV-series "lite" VOP (rockchip,rv1106-vop, VOP_VERSION 2.0xc),
mainline's VOP1 driver. Its sibling rv1126 is already in 6.18, so rv1106_vop reuses
rv1126's register sub-structs + VOP_FEATURE_INTERNAL_RGB + the smaller raster.
Verified on warden-c8a3: with the driver delta + DT (vop enabled with named
"ahb"/"dclk" resets, vop_out repointed to a panel-dpi 720x720 node, pwm-backlight
on pwm1), the VOP BINDS and DRM initialises (/dev/dri/card0), and the PWM backlight
comes up. The register data / version / feature / resets are validated.
Open: /sys/class/drm/card0 has no connector yet — rockchip_rgb_init isn't producing
one ("Cannot find any crtc"). Last mile of M4; needs a debug print in rgb_init + the
panel bus_format, and the pixels must be verified on the physical panel (can't be
checked over serial/ssh). Full recipe + next steps in display/README.md.
Also batch-2 config: GPIO_SYSFS, PWM_ROCKCHIP, crypto (aes/ccm/ctr/arc4), CFG80211,
DRM_ROCKCHIP/ROCKCHIP_VOP all =y; PSCI-style SMC removed via the psci-node deletion.

Move from the hand-built minimal DT to the vendor rv1106.dtsi (full SoC:
pinctrl, gpio×5, dmac, cru+grf_cru, all peripherals), with our lean board DTS
(rv1106-warden.dts) enabling only the wall-HMI's needs — no camera/ISP/CSI.
Two deltas made it boot on 6.18: overwrite boot-mode.h with the vendor's (extra
BOOT_* constants) and DELETE the psci node (no secure monitor → SMC fault →
"Attempted to kill the idle task"). Recipe in dts/README.md.
Verified on warden-c8a3 (uname 6.18.46, full WardenOS userspace): pinctrl,
gpio0-4, pl330 DMA, uart1/2/4 (ttyS1/2/4), i2c3, dw-wdt (watchdog0) all probe.
DRIVER-PARITY.md tracks the remaining ports (VOP display, AIC8800 wifi, rknpu,
usb2phy, saradc-compat, RGA) toward full parity with the 5.10 kernel.

Adding the eMMC dw_mmc node (mmc@ffa90000, clocks from cru + grf_cru) was all M3
needed. On warden-c8a3 the 6.18 kernel enumerates the eMMC at HS200
(mmcblk0 8GTF4R 7.28 GiB), mounts the ext4 rootfs, runs /sbin/init, and starts
every WardenOS daemon. Serial root login confirms:
Linux warden-c8a3 6.18.46 armv7l
ps: warden-flared warden-modbus warden-mikrotik warden-asic warden-ui warden-flight
Expected M4/M5 gaps are clean failures: the 5.10 aic8800 wifi/BT .ko won't load on
6.18 (vermagic), and no backlight/framebuffer yet (no VOP node). Next: M4 display,
M5 AIC8800 SDIO port, M6 the rest; plus a lean defconfig + Buildroot-on-6.18.

The Linux 6.18.46 forward-port boots on the panel through our ported drivers,
verified on the serial console: earlycon, arch timer (BogoMIPS calibrated), our
clk-rv1106 CRU, pinctrl, and the mainline 8250 bound to uart2 clocked by our CRU
(ttyS2 16550A), then rootfs mount.
Two DT fixes got it past "Starting kernel":
- fdt placed high (load=0x08000000) so the bloated multi_v7 zImage (~20 MiB
decompressed) stops overrunning the DTB at 0xc00000 (was: r2=0, "invalid dtb").
- added the rockchip,rv1106-grf-cru node (grf-clock-controller child of grf) so
clk-rv1106's grf_ctx isn't NULL (was: panic in rockchip_clk_register_branches).
Console pinned to 115200 (readable on the CP2102 bench adapter; prod uses 1.5M).
The boot-image format and the A/B _b-slot safe-test method (which auto-reverted to
_a on every failed attempt) are in docs/m2-boot-on-c8a3.md. M3 next: lean defconfig
+ dw_mmc DT + our Buildroot userspace rebuilt on 6.18.

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.

2-line DT-compat add to rockchip_board_dt_compat[] (rv1103 + rv1106), per the
breadth survey. Did NOT recreate the dropped CPU_RV1106 symbol (mainline IDs the
SoC purely via DT compat at runtime). clk + pinctrl + mach = the 3 core compile
components; DT + defconfig + full build remain for M2 (console boot).

M1 pinctrl ported from vendor 5.10 (effort S, no API drift): enum, DRV/PULL/SMT
macros + 3 calc fns, case RV1106 in the 3 pull fns + RK3568 drive group, pin_banks
+ pin_ctrl, of_device_id (dropped CPU_RV1106 guard). pinctrl-rockchip.o 173KB, no
errors. iomux DRV/PULL/SMT offsets cross-validated against the upstream Simon Glass
v3 patch (match with the 0x10000 per-bank IOC base) -> the boot-critical iomux
PORT-VERIFY is retired via a 3rd independent source, no hardware. Upstream tracked
as a correctness oracle (doesn't apply to 6.18 cleanly; unmerged).

Per [maintainer]: forward-port the RV1106 SoC enablement from the vendor 5.10 tree to
6.18 LTS ourselves (no plan44), on our Buildroot. Verified mainline has ZERO
RV1106 support, so this is a whole-BSP port. docs/bringup.md = the console-first
milestone plan + method (sibling-delta from rv1126/rv1108, which exist in both
trees). M1 (clk driver) underway: gcc-8.3 builds 6.18; wired CLK_RV1106; ported
55 CRU macros + the panic_notifier header split + the armclk signature change
(flagged PORT-VERIFY for the CPU-mux, TRM-check needed). Captured in
rv1106-enablement/. Honest: first of ~120 files; multi-month effort.
