This series adds support for exiting Gunyah hypervisor and switching to
EL2 during early boot on Qualcomm Dragonwing family platforms. This
enables U-Boot to run at EL2, which is required for supporting
hypervisors that need EL2 privilege level.
- Adds early boot0.h infrastructure to exit Gunyah via TrustZone SMC
- Creates a reusable config fragment for easy platform enablement
- Enables the feature on QCS9100 platform
This series is based on the boot0.h infrastructure from:
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260521-qcom_spl-v9-4-c108ebe8ff4e@seznam.cz/
Changes in v4:
- Updated Kconfig and gunyah_exit_boot0.h header comments for better clarity on platform support
- Split config changes into reusable fragment and qcs9100 platform enablement
Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/20260515130934.388894-1-aswin.murugan@oss.qualcomm.com/
Change in v3:
- Corrected the logic to accurately detect the current Exception Level (EL)
and fuction properly when U-Boot enters either EL2 or EL1.
Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/20260515065632.90772-1-aswin.murugan@oss.qualcomm.com/
Change in v2:
- EL2 switch is made at early stage instead of doing at the very last stage in
the previous version
- This change is based on the patch [1]
