[PATCH 0/2] memory: brcmstb: dpfe: skip downloading firmware

[Markus Mayer]

From: Markus Mayer <mmayer@broadcom.com>

This series lets the DPFE driver skip the DPFE firmware download if the
DCPU is already running. If it's running by the time Linux comes up, it
means the boot loader already downloaded the DPFE firmware.

[PATCH 1/2] memory: brcmstb: dpfe: introduce is_dcpu_enabled()

[Markus Mayer]

From: Markus Mayer <mmayer@broadcom.com>

In order to check whether or not the DCPU is running, we introduce
a function called is_dcpu_enabled().

[PATCH 2/2] memory: brcmstb: dpfe: skip downloading firmware when possible

[Markus Mayer]

From: Markus Mayer <mmayer@broadcom.com>

We want to skip downloading the DPFE firmware from Linux if it was
already downloaded by the boot loader.

The driver now checks if the DCPU is already running and, if so,
whether it can process commands. If the DCPU processes commands
successfully, the driver skips the firmware download step.

Series applied to drivers/next thanks Markus.
