Through the collaborative efforts of the open-source community and Qualcomm's upstream developers, the MSM8953 features highly mature mainline driver coverage. This turns old handsets and embedded modules into highly capable, long-term supported ARM64 Linux nodes. If you want to tailor this further, tell me: Vendor kernels for MSM8953 are usually based on

Behind the scenes, the qcom_smd_regulator driver translates these requests into custom packages sent across the hardware mailbox to the RPM co-processor. Multimedia and Graphics

Qualcomm SoCs are unique in that they treat the modem as a separate processor.
