[PATCH] ARC: [hsdk] Make it easier to add PAE40 region to DTB

[PATCH] ARC: [hsdk] Make it easier to add PAE40 region to DTB

[Vineet Gupta]

1. Bump top level address-cells/size-cells nodes to 2 (to ensure all
   down stream addresses are 64-bits, unless explicitly specified
   otherwise (in "soc" bus with all peripherals)

2. "memory" also specified with address/size 2

3. Add a commented reference for PAE40 region beyond 4GB physical
   address space

Could you please get rid of comment with reference for PAE40/HIGHMEM region in this patch?
It gives wrong expectations that if we uncomment it and enable PAE40 in config we'll get working system.
But it isn't true - we also need to remap AXI apertures appropriately.

Otherwise kernel will crush somewhere. Moreover kernel will crush for different reasons in case of launch
via U-boot and via MDB (because we remap AXI apertures in U-boot for internal purposes).

If you really want to keep this - I can send you patch with AXI apertures remapping we need to apply firstly.

Thanks.

Well I didn't have to do any remapping for successfully running a cross glibc
testsuite over ssh.
This was v5.1-rc1 + HIGHMEM+ PAE + patch to disable ioc + this patch for DT update.

Perhaps the remapping is needed when you are remapping DDR to 0 (for HIGHMEM + !PAE)

This was all via mdb !

Well I can drop the last commented line but I don't want to do wholesale changes
to DT for enabling DT, so would liek to keep the rest of the patch anyways.

But sure send over the AXI remapping stuff - is that described in hsdk specs ?
