Subject: [PATCH 14/20] hw/arm: npcm8xx: Store boot info in the machine state
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 23:49:02 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813154918.996812-15-bin.meng@processmission.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813154918.996812-1-bin.meng@processmission.com>
arm_load_kernel() keeps a pointer to the boot info struct for the
lifetime of the VM, so the struct logically belongs to the machine
rather than to a file scoped static object inside
npcm8xx_load_kernel().
Let the caller own the boot info: the board stores it in its
NPCM8xxMachine and passes it to npcm8xx_load_kernel(), which only
fills in the SoC specific values.
As in the xlnx-zcu102 and raspi machines, the boot info belongs to
the machine rather than to a static object:
4d1ac883a7 ("hw/arm: xlnx-zcu102: Move arm_boot_info into XlnxZCU102")
0f15c6e338 ("hw/arm/raspi: Move arm_boot_info structure to RaspiMachineState")
