[PATCH v2 7/7] arm64: dts: freescale: Add minimal support for S32N79

From: Ciprian Marian Costea <ciprianmarian.costea at oss.nxp.com>
Add device tree support for the NXP S32N79 automotive SoC and the S32N79
Reference Design Board (RDB) [1].
The S32N79 features eight Arm Cortex-A78AE cores organized in four
dual-core clusters, with a three-level cache hierarchy (L1/L2 per core,
L3 per dual-core cluster) and 32GB of DRAM memory. It includes an SMMUv3
for IOMMU functionality.
On S32N79 SoC, peripherals are organized into subsystems, such as:
- CIS (Coherent Interconnect Subsystem).
- COSS (Connectivity Subsystem)
- FSS (Foundation Subsystem)
This initial support includes basic peripherals:
- GICv3, SMMUv3 from CIS Subsystem
- PL011 UARTs and IRQ steering controller from COSS Subsystem
- uSDHC from FSS Subsystem
Clock and Pin multiplexing settings for the chip are managed over SCMI.
