[PATCH v2 05/16] passage: Support a control devicetree

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Mon Jan 17 16:04:17 CET 2022


Add support for accepting a control devicetree from the incoming passage.
This allows SPL (or some other program) to pass a devicetree to U-Boot
proper in a standard way.

Pass the devicetree through the early parts of U-Boot needs a list care.
If it is in the bloblist, there is no need to reserve a separate space for
it to relocate into, since it will be relocated as part of the bloblist.

Also we must init the bloblist before calling fdtdec_setup(), so the
devicetree can be read from the bloblist*. This is not normally safe,
since malloc() is be called by bloblist_init() if CONFIG_BLOBLIST_ALLOC
is enabled. But in the case of a devicetree in the incoming passage, we
know we won't need to allocate the bloblist, since the previous phase has
set it up for us.

Finally, move the reloc_fdt() call after the reloc_bloblist() since, as
mentioned above, when the passage is used there is no need to relocate the
devicetree.

There is one subtlety here. If bloblist support is not enabled in U-Boot,
it can still receive a control devicetree, using the passage_dtb_off value
added to passage_bloblist. This allows the devicetree passing to work
even if the bloblist itself is ignored. In that case we do need to
relocate the devicetree. Use a global_data flag for this case.

* Actually we could init the bloblist later, since we have the offset of
the devicetree in a register, but that seems like an extreme measure,
bypassing U-Boot's own bloblist implementation to get at the data.

Changes in v2:
- Incorporate devicetree source
- Rebase to master
