Subject: [PATCH RFC 4/6] arm64/efi: Honor EFI_MEMORY_ISA_MASK for Device-nGnRnE vs -nGnRE
Date: Wed, 08 Jul 2026 09:15:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708-efi-psci-v1-4-9efb3abf0e4c@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708-efi-psci-v1-0-9efb3abf0e4c@kernel.org>
On Apple Silicon, access to MMIO requires Device-nGnRnE while Device-nGnRE
results in SErrors. UEFI defines the EFI_MEMORY_ISA_MASK for cases like
that which just contains the MAIR attribute bits. We cannot support any
other Device- types without changing MAIR so just warn and fall back to
the previous default, Device-nGnRE, if we encounter anything else.
