[PATCH 2/2] memory: brcmstb: dpfe: skip downloading firmware when possible

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




From: Markus Mayer <mmayer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

We want to skip downloading the DPFE firmware from Linux if it was
already downloaded by the boot loader.

The driver now checks if the DCPU is already running and, if so,
whether it can process commands. If the DCPU processes commands
successfully, the driver skips the firmware download step.
