BFE Engineering 42fb386f60 docs: ASCII typography and style normalization across all repo text
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.

Remaining ports: concrete execution steps (scoped from source)

Scoped against mainline 6.18 + vendor 5.10 source while the wifi transplant builds. Execute in this order once the tree is free (after wifi lands + verifies). Each: port in tree -> build -> flash c8a3 _b -> verify (self, no visual) -> commit.

1. TRNG (hardware RNG): TRIVIAL (~2 lines), HIGH value

Finding: rv1106 rockchip,trngv1 registers (CTRL 0x0000, STAT 0x0004, MODE 0x0008, ISTAT 0x0014, RAND0-7 0x0020-0x3C) are byte-identical to rk3588, which mainline hw_random/rockchip-rng.c already drives via rk3588_rng_read + rk3588_soc_data. Port: add { .compatible = "rockchip,rv1106-rng", .data = &rk3588_soc_data } to the OF table; give the DT node compatible = "rockchip,rv1106-rng", "rockchip,rk3588-rng". Confirm rk3588_soc_data clock/reset names match rv1106 DT (clocks/resets); adjust soc_data if not. Kconfig HW_RANDOM_ROCKCHIP=y. Verify: /dev/hwrng present; dd if=/dev/hwrng bs=32 count=1 | xxd non-zero; cat /sys/class/misc/hw_random/rng_current = rockchip.

2. GMAC (wired ethernet): MEDIUM, HIGH value

Finding: node ethernet@ffa80000 = snps,dwmac-4.20a + rockchip,rv1106-gmac, phy-mode rmii, phy-handle=&rmii_phy (ethernet-phy@2). The integrated EPHY (0x1234d400) is ALREADY in mainline net/phy/rockchip.c -> no PHY port needed. Bandgap trim macphy_bgs comes from OTP (soft dep: PHY works without it, slightly worse analog). Vendor glue lives in dwmac-rk.c; mainline is dwmac-rockchip.c. Port: add an rv1106 struct rockchip_gmac_ops to mainline dwmac-rockchip.c (GRF bits for RMII mode + set_to_rmii/set_rmii_speed from vendor dwmac-rk.c rv1106 section) + the compatible; wire the board &gmac node (clocks/resets/PHY as above). Kconfig: STMMAC_ETH=y, DWMAC_ROCKCHIP=y, ROCKCHIP_PHY=y. Verify: ip link shows the MAC; ethtool eth?; link-up on a patch cable if the bench has one, else MDIO read of PHY ID via the driver's probe log.

3. OTP / nvmem: SMALL, MEDIUM value (also feeds GMAC bandgap + chip-id)

Finding: vendor nvmem/rockchip-otp.c has rv1106_otp_clocks[] + an rv1106 read path; mainline has px30/rk3308/rk3576/rk3588 but no rv1106. Port: add rv1106_data (reg_read + clocks/offset/size) from vendor to mainline rockchip-otp.c + compatible rockchip,rv1106-otp. Kconfig NVMEM_ROCKCHIP_OTP=y. Verify: nvmem device in /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/; read chip-id cell.

4. Audio (codec + DSM + card): MEDIUM, MEDIUM value

i2s-tdm DAI already builds (rv1126 fallback). Port vendor rv1106_codec.c (acodec)

  • rk_dsm.c (digital speaker) + a simple-audio-card/rockchip,rv1106-codec node. Verify: aplay -l shows a card; speaker-test writes without error (audible check is tomorrow's on-panel item).

5. crypto-v3 (accelerator): LARGER, MEDIUM value

Vendor crypto/rockchip/rk_crypto_v3*.c (v3 core + ahash + skcipher); mainline has only v1 (rk3288). Port the v3 files + rockchip,crypto-v3 compatible. Larger surface; do after the quick wins. Verify: /proc/crypto lists rk hw entries; tcrypt or an openssl-engine smoke test.

6. NPU kernel driver: MEDIUM, LOW-MED value (npu/PORT-PLAN.md)

Kernel driver only; no open userspace regcmd encoder (openness line, no blob).

7. mailbox (HPMCU): SMALL, MED value, proper coproc mbox vs /dev/mem hack.

8. pvtm: SMALL, LOW value, DVFS monitors; only if DVFS is pursued.

Order rationale: TRNG (near-free, high value) -> GMAC (high value, PHY already mainline) -> OTP (small, feeds GMAC) -> audio -> crypto -> NPU -> mailbox -> pvtm.
