[PATCH 01/10] of/fdt: Introduce dt_root_addr_size_cells() and dt_root_addr_size_bytes()

[Yuntao Wang]

Currently, many places use the result of the expression
`(dt_root_addr_cells + dt_root_size_cells) * sizeof(__be32)` for various
checks.

To improve code maintainability and reduce the chance of errors, extract
this expression into two helper functions.

is in cells (4 bytes per cell).

Comparing them directly is incorrect. Convert units before comparison.

[Yuntao Wang]

When reading the fdt_size value, the argument passed to dt_mem_next_cell()
is dt_root_addr_cells, but it should be dt_root_size_cells.

The same issue occurs when reading the scratch_size value.

Fix these issues.

[PATCH 10/10] of/address: Remove the incorrect and misleading comment

[Yuntao Wang]

The of_bus_default_match() function appears to have been copied from
of_bus_default_flags_match() with some modifications.

However, the comment was left unchanged and still describes the behavior
of of_bus_default_flags_match(), it is incorrect and misleading, remove it.

Thanks for your patch!

That commit merely changed "<" to "%".

The code that added the bad expression was:
Fixes: 2af2b50acf9b9c38 ("of: fdt: Add generic support for handling
usable memory range property")
However, that code was copied from:
Fixes: 8f579b1c4e347b23 ("arm64: limit memory regions based on DT
property, usable-memory-range")

So I think you want to list these two Fixes-tags instead.

I think it would be worthwhile to have separate dt_mem_next_addr_cell()
and dt_mem_next_size_cell() helpers.  That would us bring a few steps
closer to the following goal stated in <linux/of_fdt.h>:

There is no reason to put this patch in this series. It is completely 
unrelated.

Your aim in writing subjects should be to write something that is unique 
for every commit in the past or future. Because you can never make the 
same change twice, right? (I'm excluding 'fix typos/spelling' type 
commits). Certainly the same subject in one series is never right.

This is not what I meant. We have multiple copies of this where only 
the property name changes: 

	prop = of_get_flat_dt_prop(node, "linux,elfcorehdr", &len);
	if (!prop || (len < (dt_root_addr_cells + dt_root_size_cells)))
		return;

	elfcorehdr_addr = dt_mem_next_cell(dt_root_addr_cells, &prop);
	elfcorehdr_size = dt_mem_next_cell(dt_root_size_cells, &prop);

Instead, add a function something like this:

static void early_init_dt_read_address(unsigned long node, const char 
*prop, u64 *addr, u64*size)
{
        prop = of_get_flat_dt_prop(node, prop, &len);
        if (!prop || (len < (dt_root_addr_cells + dt_root_size_cells)))
                return;

        *addr = dt_mem_next_cell(dt_root_addr_cells, &prop);
        *size = dt_mem_next_cell(dt_root_size_cells, &prop);
}

Then we only have the length checks in one place.


That still leaves the cases with more than 1 entry open coded. So 
instead, to cover that case to something like this:

const __be32 *of_get_flat_dt_address_prop(unsigned long node, const char 
*propname, int *len)
{
	prop = of_get_flat_dt_prop(node, propname, &len);
	if (!prop || (*len % (dt_root_addr_cells + dt_root_size_cells))) {
		*len = 0;
		return NULL;
	}

	*len /= (dt_root_addr_cells + dt_root_size_cells) * sizeof(__be32);
	return prop;
}

And then a user would look something like this:

prop = of_get_flat_dt_address(node, "linux,usable-memory-range", &len);
for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
	of_read_address_idx(prop, i, &addr, &size);
	...
}

Here 'len' is number of addr+size entries.

And the simple case of reading 1 entry could be just:

of_read_address_idx(of_get_flat_dt_address(node, "linux,elfcorehdr", NULL), 0, &addr, &size);
