Hmm, on Exynos we had something like

         firmware@0203F000 {
                 compatible = "samsung,secure-firmware";
                 reg = <0x0203F000 0x1000>;
         };

but your solution might be actually the proper one, since firmware is not
a hardware block. (The address in reg property is pointing to SYSRAM
memory, which is an additional communication channel with the firmware.)

Yes, I saw your implementation but decided to do it through the chosen node anyway, since that's what it seems to be designed and we don't need any reg parameter.

I think this patch could be split into several patches:
  - add support for firmware
  - split reset function
  - add reset support using firmware.

Mmm possibly yes, but I wonder if that would not be too much splitting. Stephen?

Hmm, I wonder if you need all this complexity here. Have a look at our
exynos_smc function

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/arch/arm/mach-exynos/exynos-smc.S?id=refs/tags/next-20130606

Yes, I just embarrassed myself showing my ignorance of ARM assembler. ;) The fix Russel proposed is pretty close to your version.

+static const struct firmware_ops tegra_firmware_ops = {
+     .set_cpu_boot_addr = tegra_set_cpu_boot_addr,
+};

It's good that this interface is finally getting some user besides Exynos.

I didn't know about it first but Joseph kindly pointed it out to me and it indeed makes it easier to implement this.

Thanks,
Alex.
