@Dmitry/@Krzysztof,

Thank you for reviewing the RFC, we wanted to continue the
suggestion/discussion given on [1] , where we discussed that this
qcm6490 is going to be targeted for IOT segment and will have different
memory map and it is going to use some of co-processors like adsp/cdsp 
which chrome does not use.

So to your question what is common between RB3 and IDP, mostly they will
share common memory map(similar to [2]) and regulator settings and both 
will use adsp/cdsp etc., we will be posting the memory map changes as 
well in coming weeks once this RFC is acked.


Thanks,
Mukesh

    arm64: dts: qcom: sc7280: Factor out Chrome common fragment

    This factors out a device tree fragment from some sc7280 device
    trees. It represents the device tree bits that should be included for
    "Chrome" based sc7280 boards. On these boards the bootloader (Coreboot
    + Depthcharge) configures things slightly different than the
    bootloader that Qualcomm provides. The modem firmware on these boards
    also works differently than on other Qulacomm products and thus the
    reserved memory map needs to be adjusted.

    NOTES:
    - This is _not_ quite a no-op change. The "herobrine" and "idp"
      fragments here were different and it looks like someone simply
      forgot to update the herobrine version. This updates a few numbers
      to match IDP. This will also cause the `pmk8350_pon` to be disabled
      on idp/crd, which I belive is a correct change.
    - At the moment this assumes LTE skus. Once it's clearer how WiFi SKUs
      will work (how much of the memory map they can reclaim) we may add
      an extra fragment that will rejigger one way or the other.
