Mainline

Warning WARNING: Even though SM8635 and SM7675 are quite similar with SM8650 the mainline kernel fork requires SIGNIFICANT rework!

The fate of the platofrms are unknown. firstly (and seems to be lastly) they were mentioned in 6.1 Android kernel. In 6.6 Android kernel, all mentions of cliffs / cliffs7 platforms were dropped. Current mainlining is being done by community and community only
