VBE provides the ability for an OS to request that information be passed
to it when it is booted. This is added into the /chosen node, in addition
to things like the bootargs for Linux, for example.
VBE's OS requests are intended to replace the need for the EFI 'boot-time
services'. This works via a 'stub' which runs before Linux, collects the
information from U-Boot, writes it to the device tree (mostly) and then
jumps to Linux with the updated device tree.
Rather than just jumping into Linux and waiting for it to request things
from U-Boot, we can look at the requests in the FIT and process them
before jumping to Linux. This is simpler and easier to test. It is also
more deterministic, since we can tell whether we might lack something
needed by Linux, before jumping to it.
This series adds initial support for OS requests, with just a few simple
ones provided. Further work will expand these out.
Changes in v2:
- Add new patch to update docs about oftree_from_fdt()
Simon Glass (14):
bootm: Change incorrect 'unsupported' error
bootm: Avoid returning error codes from command
bootm: Drop #ifdef from do_bootm()
boot: Correct handling of addresses in boot_relocate_fdt()
fs: Quieten down the filesystems more
fdt: Show a message when the working FDT changes
bootstd: Move VBE setup into a shared function
sandbox: Support FDT fixups
boot: Pass the correct FDT to the EVT_FT_FIXUP event
boot: Tidy up logging and naming in vbe_simple
test: Move common FIT code into a separate fit_util file
vbe: Add fixups for a basic set of OS requests
dm: core: Update docs about oftree_from_fdt()
vbe: Add a test for VBE device tree fixups
