[PATCH] of/fdt: run soc memory setup when early_init_dt_scan_memory fails

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

 



From: Andreas Rammhold <andreas@xxxxxxxxxxx>

If memory has been found early_init_dt_scan_memory now returns 1. If
it hasn't found any memory it will return 0, allowing other memory
setup mechanisms to carry on.

Previously early_init_dt_scan_memory always returned 0 without
distinguishing between any kind of memory setup being done or not. Any
code path after the early_init_dt_scan memory call in the ramips
plat_mem_setup code wouldn't be executed anymore. Making
early_init_dt_scan_memory the only way to initialize the memory.

Some boards, including my mt7621 based Cudy X6 board, depend on memory
initialization being done via the soc_info.mem_detect function
pointer. Those wouldn't be able to obtain memory and panic the kernel
during early bootup with the message "early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch:
Failed to allocate 12416 bytes align=0x40".

Fixes: 1f012283e936 ("of/fdt: Rework early_init_dt_scan_memory() to call directly")
