MediaTek MT8125 BROM is same as MT6589

[akku1139]

I'll leave a note here because it might be useful to someone someday.

I dumped MediaTek MT8125 BROM with the method below

1. build kernel with brom nvmem dt node
   TeamYogaBlade2/linux@77a12e3
2. flash and boot it
3. cat /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/nvmem0/nvmem | base64 (on device) -> base64 -d > brom-mt8125-dump (on pc)

As a result, the dumped BROM was exactly the same as mediatek/MT6589WTK 1325-ATAH DTNGT126/dump-1.bin and mediatek/mt6589.bootrom.bin

❯ ls
dump-1.bin  dump-2.bin	dump-3.bin  mt6589.bootrom.bin
❯ cmp dump-1.bin dump-2.bin
dump-1.bin dump-2.bin differ: byte 1, line 1
❯ hexdump -C dump-1.bin | head
