Pixel 6 support upstream and on android-mainline

on YouTube ↗15m

" summary

Upstream Pixel 6 support already lands an ACPM power coprocessor driver that unblocks CPU frequency, mailbox and regulator control and enables PMX NVMe-based Android reboot, plus USB ADB, full Android reboot paths and UFS Gear 4 hibernate so filesystems mount and suspend correctly. Daily Linux-next boot tests on a Linaro automation appliance catch regressions. Workarounds include a syscon custom regmap that issues SMC calls and a fake-device / defer probe pattern for regulator cross-dependencies; overlays for variant boards remain unresolved while android-mainline integration continues to progress.
