It is common to split firmware into 'Platform Init', which does the initial hardware setup and a "Payload" which selects the OS to be booted. Thus an handover interface is required between these two pieces. Where UEFI boot-time services are not available, but UEFI firmware is present on either side of this interface, information about memory usage and attributes must be presented to the "Payload" in some form. This aims to provide an small schema addition for the memory mapping needed to keep these two pieces working together well. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v7: - Rename acpi-reclaim to acpi - Drop individual mention of when memory can be reclaimed - Rewrite the item descriptions - Add back the UEFI text (with trepidation) Changes in v6: - Drop mention of UEFI - Use compatible strings instead of node names Changes in v5: - Drop the memory-map node (should have done that in v4) - Tidy up schema a bit Changes in v4: - Make use of the reserved-memory node instead of creating a new one Changes in v3: - Reword commit message again - cc a lot more people, from the FFI patch - Split out the attributes into the /memory nodes Changes in v2: - Reword commit message .../reserved-memory/common-reserved.yaml | 71 +++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 71 insertions(+) create mode 100644 dtschema/schemas/reserved-memory/common-reserved.yaml diff --git a/dtschema/schemas/reserved-memory/common-reserved.yaml b/dtschema/schemas/reserved-memory/common-reserved.yaml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f7fbdfd --- /dev/null +++ b/dtschema/schemas/reserved-memory/common-reserved.yaml @@ -0,0 +1,71 @@ +# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause +%YAML 1.2 +--- +$id: http://devicetree.org/schemas/reserved-memory/common-reserved.yaml# +$schema: http://devicetree.org/meta-schemas/core.yaml# + +title: Common memory reservations + +description: | + Specifies that the reserved memory region can be used for the purpose + indicated by its compatible string. + + Clients may reuse this reserved memory if they understand what it is for, + subject to the notes below. + +maintainers: + - Simon Glass <sjg@xxxxxxxxxxxx> + +allOf: + - $ref: reserved-memory.yaml + +properties: + compatible: + description: | + This describes some common memory reservations, with the compatible + string indicating what it is used for: + + acpi: Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) tables + acpi-nvs: ACPI Non-Volatile-Sleeping Memory (NVS).
