[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH 1/2] Add Aarch32 option for ARMv8 CPUs

Fri Dec 2 12:51:08 CET 2016


This patch hacks some generic code used to allow the ARMv8 platform to
specify if it is booting in Aarch32 mode.

Some ARMv8 CPUs can be run in Aarch32 mode as well as Aarch64.  A good
example of this is ARM's AEMv8 FVP model which models the ARMv8
architecture rather than a specific CPU core.

This patch is co-authored with Soby Mathew <Soby.Mathew at arm.com>.
