[PATCH v1 0/3] Spacemit K3 enable Linux boot

[PATCH v1 0/3] Spacemit K3 enable Linux boot

[E Shattow]

Adopt some fixes needed for Linux v7.2.10+ boot and enable
BOOTSTD_FULL together with minimal env addr variable defaults.

Build and test only with vendor BSP k3-br-v1.0.10 having reduced
configuration to avoid a memory resource conflict. The vendor BSP SPL
in its default configuration attempts to load opensbi separately from
u-boot main app, and also attempts to load an embedded controller OS
image, neither of which is useful for mainline opensbi, mainline
Linux, and mainline U-Boot. Instructions and supplemental patches for
the reduced vendor BSP build are co-dependent on this series; a
follow-up will be posted with details after this series is sent.

[PATCH v1 1/3] riscv: dts: spacemit: k3: override reserved status of mimsic and maplic

[E Shattow]

Linux boot stalls when probing peripherals unless OpenSBI has the
enabled mimsic and maplic nodes. Override these nodes so Linux can boot.

This should be fixed in the DT in linux. I guess you could carry this
patch till it is fixed in linux.

The upstream commit that adds these nodes as reserved status is:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=56f37e391a626

Quote, "...Also add M-mode APLIC (maplic) and IMSIC (mimsic) nodes to
represent the hardware topology and ready for potential firmware usage."

When the mainline OpenSBI series lands adding SpacemiT K3 support:

https://lore.kernel.org/opensbi/20261028-spacemit-k3-v6-0-01d984f60941@linux.spacemit.com/

...then I think we could send this upstream?

Thanks for the review, -E

I think status = "reserved" in k3.dtsi is correct and should stay.
The DT spec defines "reserved" as a device that is operational
but should not be used, typically because it is controlled by
another software component such as platform firmware.

That is exactly the case for the M-level IMSIC and APLIC.

The DT should be a description of the hw, not just the bits that linux
cares about. This is why I'm asking for this to be in the linux DT.
The changes that E is proposing here will have effect in the DT that
u-boot passes to linux anyway.

The mainline OpenSBI series supporting K3 has now landed. As promised
I've sent a patch upstream to Linux so that we may continue discussion
about the required mimsic and maplic status there:

Thanks everyone for advice about this, I think it will be okay in any
decision about whether to change this in devicetree-rebasing upstream,
to carry these changes here as-needed in U-Boot for passing to OpenSBI.
Let's get consensus with discussion on LKML and then if there is
something more narrow in scope needed that can be done from U-Boot for
changing these nodes to pass to OpenSBI, I am open to that possibility too
