Force-reboot patch

Zhuowei's reboot patch works, but with different address of course: instead of 0xC264000 you should grep DTS files for "qcom,pshold" and take reg address from there (or grep for "restart@" and take address after @): sdm660_f7a.dtsi L493, so 0x10ac000. Read msm-poweroff driver code for more info.

Example code:

*((int *)ioremap(0x10ac000, 4)) = 0; // force-reboot by Zhuowei

eMMC notes

@AlexeyMin seems that was the case, I did have UFS storage which required deviceinfo_rootfs_image_sector_size="4096" to be set

SDM660 has both SDHCI and UFS support, but lavender does not use UFS storage. That actually makes porting a little bit easier.

Wi-Fi notes

Wi-Fi chip is the same as used in sdm845 for example - Qualcomm Atheros wcn3990. In downstream driver is called iCNSS/qcacld-3.0. Mainline driver is ath10k together with ath10k_snoc (not ath10k_pci!) Activation is probably done from userspace using QMI (at least on downstream?)

- Initial commit https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10220667/
- DTS part from sdm845 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sdm845.dtsi#L3283
- ath10k: add QMI message handshake for wcn3990 client https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/ba94c753ccb471bafe8bd824b744fda6fee0001e

Panel/touch notes

Panel used in lavender is Tianma NT36672A, which is the same used in xiaomi-beryllium (demo video), except for the resolution (more height for lavender, 2340 instead of 2246). The source code for the panel is pundiramit's branch in tianma-nt36672a.c file. According to the video touchscreen should be working too, but I can't find a source for it yet. Downstream has touchscreen in drivers/input/touchscreen/nvt_touch_f7a.

Beryllium commit that adds nt36xxx driver, copied almost as-is from downstream - https://github.com/Venji10/linux-beryllium/commit/075504c46b563a56998450e1975945589fcb5f26

Another one: https://github.com/rupansh/mainline-beryllium/commit/fc7e3775cda8f27e69e660740bc3947d6fc17d46

Also it seems like panel requires new type of regulators "LABIBB" (== LAB(LCD AMOLED Boost) / IBB(Inverting Buck Boost)) for which driver is not currently present in mainline (but there is a PR for that - https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11576211/).
