Hello Marek,
> magic validity first. Is the magic actually valid in your fail case?
So to clarify the situation, the mainline TF-A does not have RZG2L
support. So the only one available out there is the forked Reneasas one
that I have mentioned up in the thread.
Now, the mainline U-Boot is doing:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
void *atf_fdt_blob = (void *)(rcar_atf_boot_args[1]);
if (fdt_magic(atf_fdt_blob) != FDT_MAGIC)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
unconditionally, with rcar_atf_boot_args[1] being NULL as no arguments
are passed by the forked Reneasas TF-A fork to U-Boot.
I could test for NULL pointers as well, but I thought that getting rid
of that piece of code made more sense as there are no TF-As out there
passing such arguments.
If you think that it will be better to take the problem the other way
around and modify the forked TF-A to pass that argument that also makes
sense to me. Picking one of the two solutions would allow us to have
something working out of the box.
> Also, enable CONFIG_DEBUG_UART in your U-Boot config, then you will get very
> early UART output capabilities, it works even before DT is used.
Noted, thanks :)
