General info

MSM8212 is a low-end SoC released in 2013, with only out-of-tree mainline support (for now).

There is also another variant, MSM8610, which has only 2 cores and is mostly the same.

It is pretty similar to Qualcomm Snapdragon 800/801 (MSM8974) and Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 (MSM8226) so some drivers can be reused from them as a reference.

CPU

All cores initialize properly now and CPUIdle seems to work fine.

USB

Works. Detectable from PC.

Regulators

As of Nov 7th 2021, SMD and SPMI regs are brought up

DRM

This is essential for bringing up GPU and panel. MSM8212 (and all 2xx snapdragon SoCs) seem to be using MDP3, which is currently not supported in mainline.
