[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] configs/icnova-a20-adb4006: add uboot patch for reliable bootclk

[Ludwig Kormann]

Up until now cpu clock gets initialized at 384 MHz, which is
the highest supported cpu clock.

Recent A20 batches show an increased percentage of modules
reacting very sensitive to operating conditions outside the
specifications.

The cpu dies very shortly after PLLs, core frequency or cpu
voltage are missconfigured. E.g.:
- uboot SPL selects 384 MHz as cpu clock which requires a cpu
  voltage of at least 1.1 V.
- Linux CPU Frequency scaling with most sun7i dts will reduce
  cpu voltage down to 1.0 V.
- When intiating a reboot or reset from linux the cpu voltage
  may keep the 1.0 V configuration and the cpu dies during SPL
  initialization.

Therefore reduce cpu clock at uboot SPL initialization down
to 144 MHz from 384 MHz.

Use patch until KConfig option in uboot becomes available.

Thanks a lot for your patch, which looks good. However, we're trying to
migrate all defconfigs to use hashes to check the Linux kernel and
U-Boot source code, by enabling BR2_DOWNLOAD_FORCE_CHECK_HASHES=y.
Could you also do this for this defconfig?

There is a tool ./utils/add-custom-hashes that helps in generating
those hashes. You can have a look at other defconfigs that use
BR2_DOWNLOAD_FORCE_CHECK_HASHES=y to see how things are done.

Thanks a lot!

Thomas

Thanks as well for your patch! Some comments below.

We require all patches to have a description, a Signed-off-by: line and
an Upstream: tag. Also, since U-Boot is using Git upstream, we strongly
prefer a patch generated by "git format-patch".

Instead of this, could you use BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIRECTORIES? It allows
to patch all packages, not just u-boot, and is anyway going to be
needed to provide the hashes, as I suggested in my review of your PATCH
1/2.

Thanks a lot!
