[PATCH v2 0/2] rockchip: rk3399: pass platform parameter to TF-A

[Quentin Schulz]

From: Quentin Schulz <quentin.schulz at theobroma-systems.com>

Finally pass the FDT address to TF-A since it now gracefully fallbacks to
hardcoded defaults if it cannot parse it. This allows us to avoid modifying
hardcoded values in TF-A to enable the console.

This was tested with TF-A v2.7.0 on Puma Haikou RK3399.

We do this only for new RK3399 boards, where this will be a conscious choice to
enable CONFIG_SPL_ATF_NO_PLATFORM_PARAM, and Puma since it's been tested with
upstream TF-A. The imply condition on SPL_ATF is always true because SPL_ATF is
selected for all RK3399-based boards in arch/arm/mach-rockchip/Kconfig.

For board maintainers who received this mail, this patch series does not modify
anything for your board. However, this highlights that your board does not make
use of a feature (passing U-Boot DTB to TF-A) I find useful. I know this has
been a pain point for some of you since TF-A has a default baudrate of 115200 on
UART2 for its debug console which meant you had the choice of:
 1) patch TF-A to run at 1500000 baudrate instead (Rockchip's BSP default)
    and/or a different UART controller than UART2,
 2) not have TF-A output,

You're now aware there's a third choice: disable SPL_ATF_NO_PLATFORM_PARAM
Kconfig option if your TF-A is of version 2.4 or newer. Up to you to send a
patch for your board defconfig.

This option was not disabled on all platforms on purpose since Kever prefers to
be careful since some boards might require downstream/blob-only TF-A that are
older than 2.4 version.
