Subject: [PATCH 2/4] MIPS: Add support for Siflower MIPS SoCs
Date: Wed, 04 Nov 2026 02:16:54 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104-sf19a2890-mips-v1-2-eae80820af68@telaak.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104-sf19a2890-mips-v1-0-eae80820af68@telaak.dev>

From: Chuanhong Guo <gch981213@gmail.com>

Siflower MIPS SoCs like SF19A2890 use a dual-core MIPS InterAptiv
processor, built-in GMAC, USB, dual-band WiFi and various other
peripherals.

Notably, they use some ARM PLxxx peripherals, and ARM_AMBA is
selected for the drivers.

Most devices on the market with this chip come with 64M or less
DRAM. A kmalloc.h with malloc alignment override is added to
conserve memory, and a MACH_SIFLOWER_MIPS is created with reduced
features instead of using the generic kernel.
