arm64: dts: rockchip: add FriendlyELEC NanoPi R28S

[wukibaka]

Description

Add Device Tree support for the FriendlyELEC NanoPi R28S based on the
Rockchip RK3528A SoC.

The new DTS describes:

• RK3528A SoC with 1 GB LPDDR4
• eMMC and microSD
• GMAC1 with RTL8211F PHY
• PCIe RTL8111H Gigabit Ethernet
• AIC8800D80 Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth module
• HYM8563 RTC
• GPIO LEDs
• GPIO user button
• USB OTG

Changes

• Add rk3528-nanopi-rev03.dts
• Register rk3528-nanopi-rev03.dtb in the Rockchip DTS Makefile
• Synchronize the shared RK3528 NanoPi DTS definitions with the
  FriendlyElec vendor source

Source

The R28S Device Tree is based on the following FriendlyELEC vendor DTS: friendlyarm/kernel-rockchip

The vendor DTS was adapted to the Armbian linux-rockchip tree and
synchronized with the existing RK3528 NanoPi DTS definitions.

DTS revision

In the FriendlyElec vendor source, the RK3528 NanoPi board revisions are
mapped as follows:

• rk3528-nanopi-rev01.dts: NanoPi Zero2
• rk3528-nanopi-rev02.dts: NanoPi NEO3 Plus
• rk3528-nanopi-rev03.dts: NanoPi R28S

The Armbian linux-rockchip branch currently does not contain
rk3528-nanopi-rev02.dts. It is intentionally not added in this change,
as NEO3 Plus support is outside the scope of this R28S-specific patch.
Only the R28S rev03 DTS is added here.

Testing

• Built rk3528-nanopi-rev03.dtb successfully
• Verified that the DTS compiles against the rk-6.1-rkr5.1 vendor
  kernel tree

Walkthrough

The change adds NanoPi R28S support for RK3528 through a new device tree source and build target. It configures networking, PCIe, WiFi, Bluetooth, RTC, keys, LEDs, storage, pin control, and USB. Shared USB properties are adjusted, and the Rev01 board disables two ADC key nodes while adding explicit USB PHY configuration.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to aa096

The PR adds R28S support but also exposes the boot-mode ADC as a Back key and leaves Rev01 ADC key devices available instead of disabling them, which can cause incorrect or spurious button events. Merge should wait for these input-definition issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Set both ADC key nodes to status = "disabled".

Removing status = "okay"; does not disable a Devicetree node. Linux treats an absent status property as available. These nodes can therefore remain active and expose KEY_BACK and KEY_VOLUMEUP, contrary to the stated Rev01 configuration. (kernel.org)

@wukibaka nice, could you also try against the rkr7.2 branch?

[igorpecovnik]

Yes, make a copy to rkr7.2 as current branch will soon be deprecated. Automatic rebase is probably terrible at this point, while for manual its yet another task on huge list ...

[wukibaka]

I am temporarily keeping this PR in draft while waiting for FriendlyELEC to investigate and provide a proper fix for the AIC8800 Bluetooth initialization race.

I have contacted FriendlyELEC technical support and am currently working with them to investigate the initialization sequence.

On the Armbian image, the HCI UART driver may initialize before the AIC SDIO BSP finishes loading the Bluetooth firmware patch, which can cause the initial HCI Reset to time out with -110. Loading hci_uart after firmware initialization allows Bluetooth power-on and discovery to work reliably.

The driver was imported from FriendlyELEC without functional changes. The current sleep 2 module-loading workaround is only a temporary diagnostic solution and will not be submitted as the final fix.

I will update this PR after the vendor-side solution is available and the final rkr7.2 validation is complete.
