[RFC PATCH] sunxi: arm64: boot0.h: runtime check for RVBAR address

Some SoCs of the H616 family use a die variant, that puts some CPU power
and reset control registers at a different address. There are examples
of two instances of the same board, using different die revisions of the
otherwise same H313 SoC. We need to write to a register in that block
*very* early in the SPL boot, to switch the core to AArch64.

Since the devices are otherwise indistinguishable, let the SPL code read
that die variant and use the respective RVBAR address based on that.
That is a bit tricky, since we need to do that in hand-coded AArch32
machine language, shared by all 64-bit SoCs. To avoid build dependencies
in this mess, we always provide two addresses to choose from, and just
give identical values for all other SoCs. This allows the same code to
run on all 64-bit SoCs, and controls this switch behaviour purely from
Kconfig.

Hi,

this patch goes on top of the two patches I sent earlier, that
introduce CONFIG_SUNXI_RVBAR_ADDRESS. I don't have a device with that
die variant, so just roughly tested this by inverting the ldrne and
swapping the addresses.
Please let me know if you have such a device and can confirm that this
code works on the original and alternative die alike.

Cheers,
Andre
