Thanks for the pointer. In this case it looks like Linux was used as reproducer and not the main use-case, though I wonder if some CIs regularly boot this particular configuration. > > Your underlying problem here seems to be that you don't have > a way for the firmware to say "hey, SMC works, you can use it" ? We do: SMCCC recommends to look at the PSCI conduit declared in DT/ACPI. Given that RMM mandates using the SMC conduit for both PSCI and RSI calls, we could use this discovery mechanism here. The problem is that we have to discover it very early at boot, before the DT infrastructure is ready, so the implementation is a little awkward. I did post one earlier in this thread but it doesn't yet account for ACPI-only boot, which will need something similar. Testing ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.EL3 would be much simpler, but it would break this config. Thanks, Jean
