Sughosh Ganu <sughosh.ganu@linaro.org> says:
The LMB module has a bunch for API's which are used for allocating
memory. There are a couple of API's for requesting memory, and two
more for reserving regions of memory. Replace these different API's
with a single one, lmb_alloc_mem(). The type of allocation to be made
is specified through one of the parameters to the function.
Additionally, the two API's for reserving regions of memory,
lmb_reserve() and lmb_alloc_addr() are the same with one
difference. One can reserve any memory region with lmb_reserve(),
while lmb_alloc_addr() actually checks that the memory region being
requested is part of the LMB memory map. Reserving memory that is not
part of the LMB memory map is pretty futile -- the allocation
functions do not allocate memory which has not been added to the LMB
memory map.
This series also removes the functionality allowing for reserving
memory regions outside the LMB memory map. Any request for reserving a
region of memory outside the LMB memory map now returns an -EINVAL
error.
Certain places in the common code using the LMB API's were not
checking the return value of the functions. Checks have been added for
them. There are some calls being made from the architecture/platform
specific code which too do not check the return value. Those have been
kept the same, as I do not have the platform with me to check if it
causes any issues on those platforms.
In addition, there is a patch which refactors code in
lmb_overlaps_region() and lmb_can_reserve_region() so that both
functionalities can be put in a single function, lmb_overlap_checks().
Finally, a new patch has been added which checks the return value of
the lmb allocation function before copying the device-tree to the
allocated address.

The board_late_init() function allocates memory for a bunch of
environment variables, including fdt_addr_r. The device-tree then gets
copied to the memory pointed to by fdt_addr_r. However, the memory
allocation request can fail, in which case the address that is being
written to would not be allocated. Add a check that the memory
allocation has succeeded before copying the device-tree.

The functions that handle allocation requests check if a region of
memory overlaps with a used region. This is done through
lmb_overlaps_region(). Similar checks are done for reservation
requests made to the LMB module, where the caller asks specifically
for a particular region of memory. These checks are being done through
lmb_can_reserve_region().
There are subtle differences in the checking needed for allocation
requests, as against reservation requests. In the former, it is only
needed to be checked if a region is overlapping with an existing
used region, and return as soon as an overlap is found. For
reservation request checks, because U-Boot allows for re-use of in-use
regions with a particular memory attribute, this check has to iterate
through all the regions that might overlap with the requested region,
and then check that the necessary conditions are met to allow for the
overlap.
Combine these two checks in a single function, lmb_overlap_checks() as
both lmb_overlaps_region() and lmb_can_reserve_region() are pretty
similar otherwise.

There currently are multiple allocation API's in the LMB module. There
are a couple of API's for allocating memory(lmb_alloc() and
lmb_alloc_base()), and then there are two for requesting a reservation
for a particular memory region (lmb_reserve() and
lmb_alloc_addr()). Introduce a single API lmb_alloc_mem() which will
cater to all types of allocation requests and replace lmb_reserve()
and lmb_alloc_addr() with the new API.
Moreover, the lmb_reserve() API is pretty similar to the
lmb_alloc_addr() API, with the one difference being that the
lmb_reserve() API allows for reserving any address passed to it --
the address need not be part of the LMB memory map. The
lmb_alloc_addr() does check that the address being requested is
actually part of the LMB memory map.
There is no need to support reserving memory regions which are outside
the LMB memory map. Remove the lmb_reserve() API functionality and use
the functionality provided by lmb_alloc_addr() instead. The
lmb_alloc_addr() will check if the requested address is part of the
LMB memory map and return an error if not.

This concludes support for the Allwinner A133 SoC, the biggest chunk of
which is the DRAM init code. Also includes support for a devboard using
this SoC, the DT of which got added to the kernel only recently. The
same is true for another H618 devboard, so add the respective devconfig
as well.
Gitlab CI passed, and I booted that briefly on those two boards.
This PR introduces 3 new platforms, two from the new Dragonwing IQx
series (QCS615 and QCS8300) as well as the IPQ5424.
Additionally:
* Support for booting downstream Android boot images on some phones is
added
* Capsule update support is expanded to be more generic, determining
which partition U-Boot was flashed to automatically and supporting
many more boards.
* Minor capsule update bugs are fixed
* A watchdog driver is added and gets timeout support
* Autoboot now requires pressing "space" specifically to stop booting as
a workaround for some boards getting rogue key presses which would
cause autoboot to fail
* Documentation is added for the Dragonwing boards
* The RB1/2 now use USB gadget mode rather than host
* A bug is fixed where GPIO reads could return incorrect values
Expand capsule update support to correctly identify which partition
U-Boot is flashed to (between xbl, uefi, and boot including A/B
variants).
Use qcom_boot_source to determine if we were chainloaded from ABL,
meaning U-Boot is on the boot partition, otherwise we assume uefi if
it's available, finally leaving the xbl partition.
Set a different fw_name based on the target partition to prevent GUID
collisions, since a board may support U-Boot flashed to boot or XBL we
need to differentiate them since the U-Boot binary must be built
differently.

The default DIP switch configuration on RB1/2 is to enable flashing
support via USB type-c port either using QDL or fastboot. It's just
cumbersome to get the host mode working in U-Boot via DIP switch toggle
when you need the flashing capability using the type-c port.
So instead lets enable fastboot in U-Boot for RB1/2 boards which is
more useful in the default board DIP switch configuration. This let's

The H-A133L board is an industrial development board made by Liontron.
It contains a number of dedicated JST connectors, to connect external
peripherals. It features:
- Allwinner A133 SoC (4 * Arm Cortex-A53 cores at up to 1.6 GHz)
- 1 GiB, 2 GiB or 4 GiB of LPDDR4 DRAM
- between 16 and 128 GiB eMMC flash
- AXP707 PMIC (compatible to AXP803)
- 100 Mbit/s RJ45 Ethernet socket, using an JLSemi JL1101 PHY
- XR829 WIFI+Bluetooth chip
- 2 * USB 2.0 USB-A ports, plus three sets of USB pins on connectors
(connected via a USB hub connected to USB1 on the SoC)
- microSD card slot
- 3.5mm A/V port
- 12V power supply
- connectors for an LVDS or MIPI-DSI panel
Add the devicetree describing the board's peripherals and their
connections.
Despite being a devboard, the manufacturer does not publish a schematic
(I asked), so the PMIC rail assignments were bases on BSP dumps,
educated guesses and some experimentation. Dropping the always-on
property from any of the rails carrying it will make the board hang as
soon as the kernel turns off unused regulators.

The Allwinner A100 SoC has been around for a while, mostly on cheap
tablets, but didn't generate much interest in the community so far.
There were some efforts by two Allwinner employees in 2020, which led
to basic upstream Linux support for that SoC, although this momentum
dried up pretty quickly, leaving a lot of peripherals unsupported.
The A100 was silently replaced with the seemingly identical Allwinner
A133, which is reportedly a better bin of the A100. So far we assume
that both are compatible from a software perspective. There are some
more devices with the A133 out there now, so people are working on
filling the gaps, and adding U-Boot (and TF-A) support.
Based on the just added pinctrl, clock and DRAM support, this adds the
missing bits, mostly addresses and values for the SPL.
The A133 seems to be an predecessor to the H6, so we can share a lot of
code with that (and the H616 code), and just need to adjust some details.

Commit 6fe50e3950 ("arm: asm/system.h: mrc and mcr need .arm if
__thumb2__ is not set") is not a proper fix for the LTO link error
mentioned in its description. It causes 32-bit arm instructions to be
mixed with thumb instructions, which the Kirkwood SoCs do not support.
For example, board_init_r() is mostly generated in Thumb-1 mode as
expected since the build flags contain -mthumb -mthumb-interwork. The
MCR instruction corresponding to writefr_extra_feature_reg() is also
correcly emitted as a 32-bit ARM instruction (it cannot be encoded in
Thumb-1 anyways). The problem is, the compiler inlines the MCR without
generating the BX or BLX instruction which are needed to transition
between the ARM and the Thumb-1 states. From the objdump output:

^^^^^^^^

Further investigation is needed to understand how to fix the issue so
that the code size is minimal for all boards. In the mean time, this
fix disables LTO for the two problematic files (common/board_f.c and
common/board_r.c). This makes the Kirkwood-based boards bootable again.
The binary size is increased by 1048 bytes which is perfectly
acceptable.
