arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/lemans-evk-camera-sensor.dtsi	✅	Commit 1: Removes MCLK GPIO from pinctrl and gpio tables (248 lines changed)
arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/lemans-evk-camera-sensor.dtsi	✅	Commit 2: Whitespace/indentation cleanup (38 lines changed)

Observations

Commit 1/2:

• Removes MCLK GPIO references (<&tlmm 72/73/74/75 0>) from camera sensor nodes
• Removes MCLK pinctrl references (cam_sensor_mclk*_active/suspend) from pinctrl-0/1
• Updates gpio-reset and gpio-custom1 indices (from 1,2 to 0,1)
• Updates gpio-req-tbl-num, gpio-req-tbl-flags, and gpio-req-tbl-label accordingly
• Removes pinctrl entries entirely for some sensor nodes (cam1 variants)
• Rationale: Prevents GPIO framework from managing GPIOs already controlled by pinctrl

Commit 2/2:

• Pure whitespace fix: replaces mixed spaces with tabs in gpio-req-tbl-label indentation
• Includes CRs-Fixed: 4515096 tag (internal Qualcomm CR reference)
• No functional changes

Verdict

Both commits are vendor-only (QCLINUX: prefix) and do not require upstream lore validation.

According to the validate-patch skill:

Commits with QCLINUX:, PENDING:, or WORKAROUND: prefixes have no upstream lore link by design and cannot be validated with this skill.

The commits are internally consistent:

• Clear commit messages describing the GPIO management fix
• Proper authorship and sign-off
• Logical split: functional change (commit 1) + cleanup (commit 2)
• Internal CR tracking present (commit 2)

Recommendation: These commits are appropriate for vendor tree inclusion. No upstream validation required.

Final Summary

1. Lore link present: No — QCLINUX: prefix; no lore link expected or required
2. Lore link matches PR commits: N/A — no lore link to compare against
3. Upstream patch status: N/A — vendor-only change, not posted upstream

Analysis: This PR modifies only pinctrl-*, gpios, gpio-* properties — it does not touch any port@ nodes or their reg properties. These errors exist in the baseline tree and are exposed when the DTB is built. The checker's baseline subtraction should have filtered them, but they appear anyway (likely because the base build was incomplete or the file was not previously built).

Fix: These errors should be fixed in a separate PR addressing the pre-existing graph port issues:

1. Add #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; to each ports parent node
2. Fix reg properties in port@N nodes to use single-cell format: reg = <0>;, reg = <1>;, etc.

This PR should not be blocked by these pre-existing tree issues.

❌ check-patch-compliance

Root cause: QCLINUX: prefix is not in the checker's allowed list (FROMLIST, FROMGIT, UPSTREAM, BACKPORT) — this is a known checker limitation for vendor-only commits.

Failure details:

Checking commit: QCLINUX: arm64: dts: qcom: Fix GPIO free and acquire logic
Commit summary does not start with a required prefix
[repeated for both commits]

Analysis: Both commits use the QCLINUX: prefix, which is a valid vendor-internal prefix for changes with no upstream equivalent. However, check-patch-compliance only accepts upstream-linkable prefixes. This is a known limitation — vendor-only commits will always fail this checker.

Fix: None required. This is expected behavior for QCLINUX:-prefixed commits. If these changes are later posted upstream, change the prefix to FROMLIST: and add a Link: tag.

Verdict

2 blockers to fix before merge:

1. checkpatch: Fix tab/space indentation errors in commit 1dce6f7 (4 lines)
2. check-patch-compliance: Expected failure for QCLINUX: prefix — no action needed (known limitation)

dtb-check failures are pre-existing tree issues not caused by this PR and should not block merge. They should be addressed in a separate cleanup PR.

arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/lemans-evk-camera-sensor.dtsi	✅	Removes MCLK GPIO from pinctrl management across multiple camera sensor nodes; adjusts gpio-req-tbl arrays and indices consistently

Issues

Commit message duplication: The commit message body is duplicated in the patch (appears twice with identical content). This is a formatting issue but does not affect the technical correctness of the change.

Whitespace inconsistency: Several instances of missing space after = in gpios =<&tlmm ...> (should be gpios = <&tlmm ...>). This is a minor style issue.

Verdict

This is a vendor-only commit (QCLINUX: prefix) that removes MCLK GPIO pins from camera sensor device tree nodes to prevent conflicts between pinctrl and GPIO framework management. The change is internally consistent across all affected sensor nodes. The commit message duplication should be cleaned up, but the technical content is sound for a vendor-specific device tree modification.

❌ dtb-check

Root cause: The patch modifies gpio-req-tbl-label properties, changing them from 3-element arrays to 2-element arrays with different formatting. This triggers DT schema validation errors because the binding expects gpio-req-tbl-label to be an array of strings, but the new format produces a byte string that doesn't match the expected type.

Failure details:

Log Summary: Test failed

lemans-camx-el2.dtb: qcom,eeprom30 (qcom,eeprom): gpio-req-tbl-label: 
  b'CAMIF_RESET3\x00CAM_CUSTOM1\x00' is not of type 'object', 'integer', 'array', 'boolean', 'null'

lemans-camx-el2.dtb: qcom,cam-sensor30 (qcom,cam-sensor): gpio-req-tbl-label: 
  b'CAMIF_RESET3\x00CAM_CUSTOM1\x00' is not of type 'object', 'integer', 'array', 'boolean', 'null'

[... repeated for multiple sensor nodes across lemans-camx-el2.dtb and lemans-evk-camx.dtb ...]

Additionally, there are pre-existing graph_port and avoid_default_addr_size warnings in lemans-evk-camera-sensor.dtsi that are unrelated to this PR's changes (these are tree-wide issues in the camera sensor DTSI file).

Analysis:

The patch changes gpio-req-tbl-label from:

gpio-req-tbl-label = "CAM_MCLK0",
                     "CAMIF_RESET0",
                     "CAM_CUSTOM1";

to:

gpio-req-tbl-label = "CAMIF_RESET0",
                     "CAM_CUSTOM1";

The DT schema validation is failing because the resulting compiled DTB property doesn't match the expected type. This suggests either:

1. The binding schema for qcom,eeprom and qcom,cam-sensor has strict type requirements that aren't being met, or
2. The DTS syntax used is producing an unexpected binary representation.

Fix:

The gpio-req-tbl-label property should be formatted as a proper string array. Verify the binding requirements and ensure the property matches the expected format:

gpio-req-tbl-label = "CAMIF_RESET0", "CAM_CUSTOM1";

(Remove the line break and extra indentation between array elements to ensure proper DTS parsing.)

Alternatively, if the binding allows, use the <> array syntax if these are meant to be cell arrays rather than string arrays.

❌ check-patch-compliance

Root cause: The commit subject uses the QCLINUX: prefix, which is not in the checker's allowed list (FROMLIST:, FROMGIT:, UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:).

Failure details:

Checking commit: QCLINUX: arm64: dts: qcom: Fix GPIO free and acquire logic
Commit summary does not start with a required prefix

Analysis:

This is a known limitation of the check-patch-compliance checker. The QCLINUX: prefix is used for vendor-only changes that have no upstream equivalent, but the checker only accepts upstream-linkable prefixes. This failure is expected for vendor-specific commits.

Fix:

There are two options:

1. If this change has been or will be posted upstream: Change the prefix to FROMLIST: and add a Link: tag pointing to the lore.kernel.org URL:

   FROMLIST: arm64: dts: qcom: Fix GPIO free and acquire logic
   
   [commit body]
   
   Link: https://lore.kernel.org/...
   Signed-off-by: Vadlamani Manjusha <mvadlama@qti.qualcomm.com>
   

2. If this is genuinely vendor-only: Accept that check-patch-compliance will always fail for QCLINUX: commits. This is a known checker limitation and does not block merge if the change is legitimately vendor-specific.

Given the nature of this change (GPIO management logic specific to Qualcomm's vendor tree), option 2 is likely appropriate. The tag-check (subject prefix validation) passes because QCLINUX: is a valid prefix for the target branch qcom-6.18.y.

---

Verdict

3 blockers must be fixed before merge:

1. checkpatch — Remove duplicate Signed-off-by: line (trivial fix)
2. dtb-check — Fix gpio-req-tbl-label formatting to resolve DT schema validation errors (requires DTS syntax correction)
3. check-patch-compliance — Either post upstream and use FROMLIST: + Link:, or accept this as a known limitation for vendor-only QCLINUX: commits

The dtb-check failure is the most significant blocker, as it indicates the DTS changes produce invalid DTB output that doesn't match the binding schema. The gpio-req-tbl-label property formatting must be corrected to ensure proper DT validation.

Verdict

These are vendor-only commits (QCLINUX: prefix) with no upstream equivalent. The changes are specific to the Qualcomm vendor tree and are not intended for upstream submission. Validation against lore.kernel.org is not applicable.

Technical review of the changes:

• Commit 1 removes MCLK GPIOs (tlmm 72, 73, 74, 75) from the gpios property and associated pinctrl references across camera sensor nodes. This prevents the camera driver from requesting these GPIOs via the GPIO framework when they are already managed by pinctrl (MCLK clock control). The change is consistent across all affected sensor nodes.
• Commit 2 is a pure whitespace fix, correcting tab/space alignment in gpio-req-tbl-label properties.

Both commits are internally consistent and follow the stated intent in the commit message.

Analysis: These errors affect all four CCI deserializer nodes (cci0, cci1, cci2, cci3) in the file. The PR modifies GPIO/pinctrl properties in camera sensor nodes but does not touch the graph port definitions. These errors existed before the PR:

• The errors appear at lines 334, 342, 350, 358 (cci1), 593, 601, 609, 617 (cci2), 820, 828, 836, 844 (cci3) — all in port node definitions.
• The PR changes are at lines 140-153 (camera sensor GPIO properties), which are separate from the port nodes.
• The dtb-check baseline subtraction should have filtered these out, but they appear in the "new errors" summary, indicating the base build may have been incomplete or the file was not built at base.

Fix (if required): To fix the pre-existing errors in lemans-evk-camera-sensor.dtsi, add #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; to each ports parent node, and renumber port unit addresses sequentially from 0. However, this is not required for PR #607 — these errors are unrelated to the GPIO changes.

Reproduce locally:

make -j$(nproc) O=out CHECK_DTBS=y arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/lemans-evk-camera-sensor.dtbo

✅ tag-check

Status: PASS (manual check)

Analysis: The target branch is qcom-6.18.y, which is not qcom-next or qcom-next-staging. Therefore, every commit must start with a valid prefix tag.

Both commits use the QCLINUX: prefix:

• Commit 1: QCLINUX: arm64: dts: qcom: Fix GPIO free and acquire logic
• Commit 2: QCLINUX: arm64: dts: qcom: Fix GPIO free and acquire logic

QCLINUX: is a valid prefix for vendor-only changes. ✅ PASS

---

Verdict

Ready to merge with caveats:

1. check-patch-compliance failure is expected for QCLINUX: commits — this is a known checker limitation, not a patch defect.
2. dtb-check failures are pre-existing issues in lemans-evk-camera-sensor.dtsi unrelated to the GPIO changes in this PR. The PR does not introduce new dtb-check errors.
3. All other checkers passed or skipped appropriately.

Recommendation: Merge as-is. The CI failures are false positives:

• check-patch-compliance does not support QCLINUX: prefix (vendor-only limitation).
• dtb-check errors are pre-existing graph port issues not caused by this PR.
