[PATCH 0/2] arch: arm64: xilinx: Make zynqmp_firmware driver optional

[Jolly Shah]

From: Tejas Patel <tejas.patel@xilinx.com>

Zynqmp firmware driver requires firmware to be present in system.
Zynqmp firmware driver will crash if firmware is not present in system.
For example single arch QEMU, may not have firmware, with such setup
Linux booting fails.

So make zynqmp_firmware driver as optional to disable it if user don't
have firmware in system.

[Jolly Shah]

From: Tejas Patel <tejas.patel@xilinx.com>

zynqmp_eemi_ops will be compiled only when CONFIG_ZYNQMP_FIRMWARE is
enabled. So check for CONFIG_ZYNQMP_FIRMWARE instead of checking for
CONFIG_ARCH_ZYNQMP.

I think that make sense to fix this dependency no matter if 2/2 is
applied. That's why adding it to my queue.

I think that moving it to firmware Kconfig is good solution. What it is
wrong is that description above where I agree with Sudeep.
It means.
1. User should have option to disable zynqmp firmware driver which is
what this patch allows. It means if someone decides to use different
firmware mechanism it can do it directly by simply y/n option.

2. Autodetection of PMUFW presence is another feature which could be
implemented to have this driver enabled but different mechanism can be
used.

3. Doing this because of missing feature in QEMU is IMHO wrong. QEMU
should be fixed and then you don't have any issue if this should be used
or not.

Just a summary. Remove that QEMU example from commit message and talk to
Edgar to fix single QEMU solution to have that regs mapped all the time.

Thanks,
Michal

Why can't it be detected runtime ? How do you handle single binary if you
make this compile time option ?

[Rajan] There is PMU register which indicates if firmware is present or not, but in case of single arch QEMU that register will not be available so  there is no way to detect if firmware is present or not from Linux.
Linux firmware crashes while arm_smccc_smc() call for firmware, but before this call there is no way  to identify if firmware is present or not. So we are just giving user an option if they want to use it on single arch
Platform they can disable firmware driver.

Thanks,
Rajan

[Rajan] There is PMU register which indicates if firmware is present or not, but in case of single arch QEMU that register will not be available so  there is no way to detect if firmware is present or not from Linux.
Linux firmware crashes while arm_smccc_smc() call for firmware, but before this call there is no way  to identify if firmware is present or not. So we are just giving user an option if they want to use it on single arch
Platform they can disable firmware driver.

I am still not that convinced yet.

So IIUC this platform used SMC as transport for EEMI communication. And
PSCI will act as bypass and send the command to PMU. If so why can't
platform PSCI implementation send error to OSPM if it is not implemented.

Not an option. With this enable, single binary should work fine on both
QEMU and your platform with this EEMI firmware support. You need to find
a way to detect it dynamically.

If this is just for qemu case why not just add this register for single
instance solution.

Edgar: Can we map this register when there is no second instance to PMU MB?
