Wish: Please support Qualcomm ARM Kryo 260 based SoC

[rzr]

Hi, I am wondering if there are any interest to enable this SoC for this machine:

meta-qcom is a BSP layer for Qualcomm platforms which are running an 'upstream' linux kernel, as opposed to running Qualcomm vendor Linux builds. Qualcomm has their own Yocto layers for dealing with their vendor kernel (and user space).

we would happily merge any contributions for new SoC and boards here, assuming they are using an upstream software stack.

It was a bit buried, but I found that SC66 is a compute module based on the Snapdragon 660 SoC. I believe there is enough upstream support for 660 (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sdm660.dtsi) , which should be good enough to start a BSP in meta-qcom.

We don't have any firm plan to add 660 ourselves right now, but I would take patches!
