[U-Boot] [PATCH] syscon: reset node list syscon_list after relocation

[Patrick Delaunay]

Reset the list head after the reallocation because the list syscon_list
use allocated pointer and they are no more valid.
This patch avoid issue (crash) when syscon_node_to_regmap() is called
before and after reallocation.

Hi

This patch correct a crash see on v2018.11-rc1 with my board stm32mp1
for the command "reset".

The crash is a side effect of 2 patches

 sysreset: syscon: update regmap access to syscon

23471aed5c33e104d6fa64575932577618543bec
 board_f: Add reset status printing

With the first patch the syscon_node_to_regmap() is called
each time that the class sysreset_syscon is probed.

=> in v2018.09 probe is done only when reset is requested

NB: for stm32mp1, the node rcc_reboot in tagged pre-relocated to
    support reset in pre-reloc phases (allow panic).

With the second patch, U-Boot probes all the sysreset uclass in preloc
phase to allow to print the reset status, and the list is initialized
in board_f / pre-reloc:

-> print_resetinfo
--> uclass_first_device_err(UCLASS_SYSRESET, &dev);
---> syscon_reboot_probe()
----> syscon_node_to_regmap(node)
-----> of_syscon_register()
-------> list_add_tail(&syscon->list, &syscon_list);

During relocation, the content of syscon_list (static) is updated
but the list use pointers allocated by malloc in pre-reloc phasis

And when I execute the reset command
-> do_reset()
--> reset_cpu()
---> sysreset_walk_halt(SYSRESET_COLD);
----> loop on device UCLASS_SYSRESET
-----> syscon_reboot_probe()
------> syscon_node_to_regmap(node)
-------> list_for_each_entry(entry, &syscon_list, list)

I have a crash here because the pointer syscon_list.next is invalid.

I solve the issue by resetting the list after reloc and it is working
but I don't know if a more elegant solution exist
(keep the list in .bss section to be set to 0).

Regards

Patrick
