Good afternoon Paolo.  It's been a while.  I hope you and the team are
well.

How much extra enablement for the Snapdragon 835does 'snapdragon-edge'
contain?

My fear is that a lot of the most recent functionally patches have
either only just gone upstream, or are currently residing in -next.  In
order to have a kernel which is useful, these patches would be required.

I tested the kernels you posted before. mahmoh posted the results of my
testing above.  v5.0 gets really close, but the screen goes blank right
at the last moment and no login screen is presented.  My gut feeling
tells me that this is an issue surrounding regulators.  There are some
patches in -next which tune some of the QCom regulator drivers which I
believe will solve the problem.

The patch you are testing works (and is actually a hard requirement for
all of these devices).  As mahmoh mentioned, if it wasn't working the
kernels above wouldn't get much past the Grub screen.  Obviously once
v5.1-rc1 is released we get all our requirements for free, but it would
be really nice if you guys could carry the patch in your most recent
kernels until you pick up v5.1.

Thanks again Paolo.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The Ubuntu kernel is not currently bootable on various arm64 laptops (HP Envy 
x2, Asus NovaGo, Lenovo Miix 630, Lenovo Yoga C630, Samsung ...) because of EFI 
memory permissions/restrictions. The reason is explained in the commit supplied 
below. 

  [Test Case]
  Install and boot Ubuntu on one of the above arm64 laptops.

  [Fix]
  Committed upstream: 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?id=4e46c2a956215482418d7b315749fb1b6c6bc224

  [Regression Risk]
  This commit adds support for an optional kernel command line parameter so 
there is minimal to no risk.
