Stacked on #964 (port of omacom/linux-aurora#302); review that first.

Describe the Extended 26.6.2 firmware profile and owned IO records for T8122. Keep Extended admission disabled at this layer.

Port of omacom/linux-aurora#303. Depends on the port of omacom/linux-aurora#302; use the stack base above to review this layer. The original PR remains untouched.

This layer also incorporates the coldplug prerequisite from omacom/linux-aurora#301.

This carries Scott Jones's T8122 runtime and safety foundation from omacom/linux-aurora unaltered, because Aurora doesn't have it yet and this change builds on it. If you'd rather land it separately or differently, say so and I'll rework this.

This carries Chris Kearney's M3 native defaults and startup diagnostics from omacom/linux-aurora unaltered, because Aurora doesn't have it yet and this change builds on it. If you'd rather land it separately or differently, say so and I'll rework this.

This carries DjDeveloperr's M3 client parameter admission and timestamp adapter from omacom/linux-aurora unaltered, because Aurora doesn't have it yet and this change builds on it. If you'd rather land it separately or differently, say so and I'll rework this.

Aurora #783 held this foundation pending identity-selected constants and J613/J615 qualification. This port does not clear that hold.

Validation: arm64 defconfig + asahi.config, Image/modules/DTBs with BTF and KUnit enabled, LLVM 18/Rust 1.85.0, passed at stack top #347 (7b88ebb77e46), which includes this branch. The validated integration base is b500668. QEMU loaded the test-bearing modules successfully with no additional failures. The combined run retains four pre-existing SEP store failures (plus their suite aggregate), reproduced on the unmodified Aurora base. The unmodified pinned base also crashes in apple-av-audio-lifetime/av_lifetime_devres_order; that unrelated audio suite is explicitly excluded. All tests added by these ports run through KUnit debugfs on Cortex-A76. This is not a fully green or complete-tree KUnit run. M3 runtime, firmware, batching and paired UAPI fixtures passed. No 7.3 hardware boot or deployment has been performed.

@DjDeveloperr @RyanTheTide ready for your regression testing. It hasn't been boot-tested on J613 with 7.3 yet; I'll post the result here when I have it.

J613 boot result on 7.3 (rubra, M3 MacBook Air 13", macOS 26.6.2 / 25G83 firmware), 2026-11-05.

• Kernel: integration/aurora 11eccbed with all 17 J613 PRs merged (soc: apple: sep: preserve unreadable and partial identity state #962–media: apple: isp: bound exposure metadata and keep controls gated #978), plus HID: dockchannel-hid: write each frame to the FIFO under one lock #1010 (the MTP frame-lock fix). Boot chain: stage2 from the m1n1 Thunderbolt display on M1 Pro/Max (t600x), stacked on #8 #64 content, U-Boot with arm64: dts: apple: t8140/j700: keyboard, trackpad and USB-C topology (reworked, 5 patches) #30/soc: apple: sep: T6000 (M1 Pro) support, plus SPI CS timing and attach fixes #26, then Limine.
• Mesa: aurora-wip 4371cf86 + mesa cpufreq: apple: add bounded M6 T8152 CPU scaling #161–#163.
• Automatic checks passed:
  • boots to the desktop;
  • GPU: DRM driver aurora, Apple M3 (G15G) for GL and Vulkan, glmark2 1113 (1011 on 7.2.11), no GPU errors;
  • internal panel up;
  • keyboard and trackpad present with no MTP crash;
  • camera node, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, audio cards and headphone jack;
  • Touch ID policy readback (identity_source=dt);
  • speakers stay off as intended (our stage2 passes no apple,speaker-config).
• Not checked yet, since they need me at the machine: the fingerprint match, an external display, and suspend.
