[PATCH 0/2] MIPS: keep firmwmare arguments with appended dtb

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The following two patches modify the appended dtb and UHI detection in a
way to allow keeping all four firmware arguments.

Patch one changes the handling of ZBOOT appended dtbs by copying the
appended dtb to the place where the extracted kernel will expect it.
This takes advantage of the fact that the compression Makefile recipe
will always append the uncompressed kernel size to the compressed
kernel if not done by the compression format itself.
This has the nice side effect that we don't need to special case ZBOOT
appended dtb anymore.

Patch two then introduces a new global variable for a UHI passed dtb
address, and stores the appended dtb's address in there if support is
enabled, or the UHI passed address if the arguments match the UHI
interface. It will only do a FDT MAGIC sanity check for appended dtbs,
and not for UHI passed ones, since just because a0 is -2, doesn't mean
a1 will contain a valid address.

Both have been run tested on BMIPS on BCM9EJTAGPRB.
