It was initially applied to Linus' tree during 5.0 development cycle [1] but was never back-ported. Now w/o that patch in KernelCI we see boot failure on ARC HSDK board [2] as opposed to normally working later kernel versions. [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=493a2f812446e92bcb1e69a77381b4d39808d730 [2] https://storage.kernelci.org/stable/linux-4.19.y/v4.19.59/arc/hsdk_defconfig/gcc-8/lab-baylibre/boot-hsdk.txt Below is that same patch but rebased on linux-4.19 as in its pristine form it won't apply due to offset of one of hunks. -Alexey ------------------------------------>8-------------------------------- >From 3e565355f6a2d1a82bc9ecd47a46d1fa3c0cd2c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eugeniy Paltsev <Eugeniy.Paltsev@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2019 18:07:45 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] ARC: enable uboot support unconditionally After reworking U-boot args handling code and adding paranoid arguments check we can eliminate CONFIG_ARC_UBOOT_SUPPORT and enable uboot support unconditionally. For JTAG case we can assume that core registers will come up reset value of 0 or in worst case we rely on user passing '-on=clear_regs' to Metaware debugger.
