Re: [DMARC error][DKIM error] [PATCH 0/5] soc: amlogic: add new meson-gx-socinfo-sm driver

Hello Neil,

May I put in my two cents on this patch series?

There appears to be a misunderstanding regarding the terminology used.
Allow me to clarify my perspective.

The original Amlogic chipid has the following format:

    4 bytes      12 bytes
    +-------+-------------------+
    |       |                   |
    | CPUID | SOC SERIAL NUMBER |
    |       |                   |
    +-------+-------------------+
    0                          15


In the current uboot [1] and kernel [2] upstream, only the SOC SERIAL
NUMBER bytes are read from efuse OTP storage (and it isn't swapped, as
Amlogic reference code does [3]). We refer to these bytes as "serial".

The original chipid value is utilized in several algorithms (for
example, in the Amlogic boot protocols), making it crucial to have the
ability to read the original chipid value as intended by the vendor.

In my opinion, we should align our naming terminology as follows:
    - "chipid" - Represents the complete Amlogic SoC ID, includes
                 "cpuid" and "serial"
    - "serial" - 12 byte unique SoC number, identifying particular die

We strongly believe that this patch series is essential and are highly interested in seeing it applied to the upstream linux-amlogic, for the following reasons:
    - We use chipid for device identification in our boards
    - The Amlogic boot protocols utilize the full version of chipid
      (ADNL, Optimus). As I mentioned in the IRC, we are preparing a
      patch series for uboot incorporating them.
    - in OPTEE: for generation of SSK (Secure Storage Key) [4]
    - RPMB: for generation of RPMB key, further provisioned into RPMB
      controller (thus particular SoC is bound to particular eMMC

Therefore, I propose that we rename "soc_id" in the Viacheslav patch
series to "chipid" and subsequently port this patch series to uboot.

What are your thoughts on this matter?
