[PATCH] drivers: firmware: psci: unify enable-method binding on ARM {64,32}-bit systems

[PATCH] drivers: firmware: psci: unify enable-method binding on ARM {64,32}-bit systems

[Sudeep Holla]

Currently ARM CPUs DT bindings allows different enable-method value for
PSCI based systems. On ARM 64-bit this property is required and must be
"psci" while on ARM 32-bit systems this property is optional and must
be "arm,psci".

This is problematic if 32-bit OS is run on 64-bit system which has
"psci" as enable-method rather than the expected "arm,psci".

So let's unify the value into "psci" and remove support for "arm,psci"
before it finds any users.

FWIW, "arm,psci" has always been the compatible string for the PSCI
node, and was never intended to be the enable-method. So as far as I can
tell, this was a mistake/bug, and not a deliberate attempt at specifying
32-bit differently.

This was definitely a mistake, as "arm,psci" was the compatible string
for the psci node, and was never the enable-method. So:

Hopefully no-one's begun to use this.

Thanks,

I agree.

Seems so. Even the 32-bit kernel doesn't make use of that.

The first user was for idle(see below) which was added in v4.6 just to
keep it in sync with binding. It would be good to get it fixed before
the final v4.6

Indeed.

Lorenzo, how should we forward this on? Do we have any other urgent
fixes for v4.6, or should we ask arm-soc to take this alone?

Thanks,
Mark.
