Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/3] riscv: Add riscv.fwsz kernel parameter
Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2021 09:57:17 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211123015717.542631-4-guoren@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211123015717.542631-1-guoren@kernel.org>

From: Guo Ren <guoren@linux.alibaba.com>

The firmware of riscv (such as opensbi) occupy 2MB(64bit) /
4MB(32bit) in Linux. It's very wasteful to small memory footprint
soc chip such as Allwinner D1s/F133. The kernel parameter gives a
chance to users to set the proper size of the firmware and get
more than 1.5MB of memory.
