[PATCH v2 2/2] mach-snapdragon: support parsing memory info from external FDT

Wed Jan 22 11:27:05 CET 2025


qcom_parse_memory is updated to return a -ENODATA error if the passed
FDT does not contain a /memory node, or that node is incomplete (size=0)

board_fdt_blob_setup first tries to call qcom_parse_memory with the
internal FDT (if present+valid). If that fails, it tries again with the
external FDT (again, if present+valid).

When booting with an internal FDT from upstream, it's likely that this
change results in a slight performance hit, since virtually all upstream
qcom DTs lack a fully specified memory node. The impact should be
negligible, though.

qcom_parse_memory was given a detailed docstring adapted from Caleb's
original commit message that introduced the function.

+/**
+ * The generic memory parsing code in U-Boot lacks a few things that we
+ * need on Qualcomm:
+ *
+ * 1. It sets gd->ram_size and gd->ram_base to represent a single memory block
+ * 2. setup_dest_addr() later relocates U-Boot to ram_base + ram_size, the end
+ *    of that first memory block.
+ *
+ * This results in all memory beyond U-Boot being unusable in Linux when booting
+ * with EFI.
+ *
+ * Since the ranges in the memory node may be out of order, the only way for us
+ * to correctly determine the relocation address for U-Boot is to parse all
+ * memory regions and find the highest valid address.
+ *
+ * We can't use fdtdec_setup_memory_banksize() since it stores the result in
+ * gd->bd, which is not yet allocated.
+ *
+ * @fdt: FDT blob to parse /memory node from
+ *
+ * Return: 0 on success or -ENODATA if /memory node is missing or incomplete
