  This series adds support for new MediaTek SoCs (MT8186/MT8192/MT8195)
and improves MT8183 support: since the mtk-regulator-coupler driver
was picked, it is now useless for Panfrost to look for, and manage,
two regulators (GPU Vcore and GPU SRAM) on MediaTek;

The aforementioned driver will take care of keeping the voltage
relation (/constraints) of the two regulators on its own when a
voltage change request is sent to the Vcore, solving the old time
issue with not working DVFS on Panfrost+MediaTek (due to devfreq
supporting only single regulator).

In the specific case of MT8183, in order to not break the ABI, it
was necessary to add a new compatible for enabling DVFS.

Alyssa Rosenzweig (3):
  drm/panfrost: Increase MAX_PM_DOMAINS to 5
  drm/panfrost: Add the MT8192 GPU ID
  drm/panfrost: Add mediatek,mt8192-mali compatible

AngeloGioacchino Del Regno (6):
  dt-bindings: gpu: mali-bifrost: Don't allow sram-supply by default
  dt-bindings: gpu: mali-bifrost: Allow up to 5 power domains for MT8192
  dt-bindings: gpu: mali-bifrost: Add compatible for MT8195 SoC
  dt-bindings: gpu: mali-bifrost: Add new MT8183 compatible
  dt-bindings: gpu: mali-bifrost: Add a compatible for MediaTek MT8186
  drm/panfrost: Add new compatible for Mali on the MT8183 SoC

Yay! ;) I never did like Panfrost dealing with two regulators.

It's a shame to need a new compatible, but it seems sensible to me.

For the panfrost changes:

I'll let others comment on the DT binding changes.

Thanks,

Steve

Tested on MT8183 Juniper (Kukui-based device), MT8192 Hayato (Asurada-based),
and MT8195 Tomato (Cherry-based).

GPU probed. When running glmark-es2-drm, observed state transitions in
/sys/class/devfreq/13040000.gpu/trans_stat , as well as actual changes to
values for regulators and clocks.

Tested-by: Chen-Yu Tsai <wenst@chromium.org>

Also observed that sometimes when glmark terminated, the GPU would not be
brought down to the lowest OPP.
