[PATCH v2 2/3] hw/arm/virt: Report correct register sizes in ACPI DBG2/SPCR tables.

[Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>]

From: Udo Steinberg <udo@hypervisor.org>

Documentation for using the GAS in ACPI tables to report debug UART addresses at
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/bringup/acpi-debug-port-table
states the following:

- The Register Bit Width field contains the register stride and must be a
  power of 2 that is at least as large as the access size.  On 32-bit
  platforms this value cannot exceed 32.  On 64-bit platforms this value
  cannot exceed 64.
- The Access Size field is used to determine whether byte, WORD, DWORD, or
  QWORD accesses are to be used.  QWORD accesses are only valid on 64-bit
  architectures.

Documentation for the ARM PL011 at
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0183/latest/
states that the registers are:

- spaced 4 bytes apart (see Table 3-2), so register stride must be 32.
- 16 bits in size (see individual registers), so access size must be 2.

The PL011 documentation does not mention whether 8-bit accesses or 32-bit
accesses to the registers are also allowed. Because a standard PL011 (not
the SBSA version) is connected via a 16-bit bus using PWDATA[15:0] and
PRDATA[15:0] (see Figure 2-1), using 16-bit access is the safest choice.

For SBSA-compatible UARTs the DBG2/SPCR table should report a different
subtype (0xd or 0xe) instead of 0x3.

Linux doesn't seem to care about this error in the table, but it does
affect at least the NOVA microhypervisor.
