FROMLIST: arm64: dts: qcom: kodiak: Add GEM_NOC interconnect for adre…

[bibekpatro]

…no SMMU

On Kodiak platforms, the Adreno SMMU requires a bandwidth vote on the GEM_NOC path (MASTER_GPU_TCU -> SLAVE_EBI1) before its registers are accessible. Without this vote, the SMMU may become unreachable, leading to intermittent probe failures and runtime issues.

Add the required interconnect to ensure reliable register access.

Commit Message

Check	Status	Note
Subject matches upstream	⏭️	Cannot verify - lore.kernel.org unreachable
Body preserves rationale	✅	Clear problem statement, consequence, and fix description
Fixes tag present/correct	N/A	No Fixes tag; likely new hardware enablement, not a bugfix
Authorship preserved	✅	FROMLIST: From/Signed-off-by both Bibek Kumar Patro (consistent)
Backport note (if applicable)	N/A	FROMLIST prefix - not a backport

Diff

File	Status	Notes
arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/kodiak.dtsi	⏭️	Cannot compare to lore - network restricted; local diff is clean (adds interconnects property to adreno_smmu node)

Issues

• Network access blocked: Cannot fetch lore patch to verify diff faithfulness, cannot check upstream patch status (ACKed/NACKed/Pending), cannot verify if lore author matches PR author for FROMLIST validation.
• FROMLIST authorship rule: For FROMLIST commits, the submitter (Bibek Kumar Patro) is legitimately in From: field. The skill requires verifying that the original lore author's Signed-off-by: is present, but this cannot be verified without fetching the lore patch.

Verdict

Limited validation passed - Commit message structure is correct for FROMLIST prefix, authorship is internally consistent, diff adds interconnects property cleanly to adreno_smmu node. However, cannot verify diff faithfulness to lore source or upstream acceptance status due to network restrictions. Manual verification required before merge.

❌ dtb-check

Root cause: Pre-existing tree issues on sc7280/qcm6490/qcs6490 platforms, not introduced by this PR.

Failure details:

iommu@3da0000 (qcom,sc7280-smmu-500): 'interconnects' does not match any of the regexes: '^pinctrl-[0-9]+$'
	from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/schemas/iommu/arm,smmu.yaml#

../arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/kodiak.dtsi:4798.23-4800.8: Warning (graph_endpoint): 
/soc@0/eud@88e0000/ports/port@0/endpoint: graph connection to node 
'/soc@0/usb@a600000/ports/port@0/endpoint' is not bidirectional

Analysis:

The PR only modifies kodiak.dtsi to add an interconnects property to the Adreno SMMU node. However, the dtb-check failures are:

1. sc7280/qcm6490/qcs6490 SMMU interconnect errors — These errors appear on iommu@3da0000 (qcom,sc7280-smmu-500) nodes across multiple sc7280-family DTBs. The PR does not touch any sc7280 files. These are pre-existing tree issues where the arm,smmu.yaml binding does not allow interconnects property for these platforms.

2. kodiak.dtsi graph_endpoint warning — This is a pre-existing bidirectional graph connection issue in kodiak.dtsi at line 4798, unrelated to the interconnect addition at line 3387.

Verdict: These are not failures introduced by this PR. The checker's baseline subtraction should have filtered these out, but they appear anyway. This indicates the base build may have been incomplete or the errors were not present in the exact base commit used.

Fix: None required for this PR. The sc7280 SMMU binding issue should be fixed separately by updating Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iommu/arm,smmu.yaml to allow interconnects for qcom,sc7280-smmu-500.

❌ check-patch-compliance

Root cause: The Link: tag points to a cover letter URL (v2-0) instead of the actual patch URL (v2-1).

Analysis:

The commit message contains:

Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260526-smmu_interconnect_addition-v2-0-2a6d8ca30d63@oss.qualcomm.com/

The URL ends with v2-0, which is the cover letter of a patch series. The b4 tool cannot fetch a cover letter as a patch. The actual patch URL should be v2-1 (or the specific patch number in the series).

Fix:

Update the commit message to point to the actual patch URL:

git rebase -i <base_sha>   # mark commit df5d892d as 'edit'
# Edit the commit message to change the Link: line
git commit --amend
# Change:
#   Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260526-smmu_interconnect_addition-v2-0-2a6d8ca30d63@oss.qualcomm.com/

# This should work (actual patch):

Verdict

1 blocker to fix before merge:

• Fix the Link: tag in commit df5d892d to point to the actual patch URL (v2-1) instead of the cover letter (v2-0).

The dtb-check failures are pre-existing tree issues and do not block this PR.
