[PATCH v1 1/2] hw/misc/aspeed_sdmc: Skipping dram_init in u-boot for AST2700

[Jamin Lin via]

On AST2700 SoC, QEMU now sets BIT6 in VGA0 SCRATCH register to indicate
that DDR training has completed, thus skipping the dram_init().

To align with the recent U-Boot changes, where the Main Control Register's
BIT16 is checked to skip the dram_init() process, this patch sets BIT16 in
the SDMC Main Control Register at reset time.

This allows both the main U-Boot stage to correctly detect and bypass DRAM
initialization when running under QEMU.

[PATCH v1 2/2] hw/misc/aspeed_scu: Support the Frequency Counter Control register for AST2700

[Jamin Lin via]

According to the datasheet:
BIT[1] (SCU_FREQ_OSC_EN) enables the oscillator frequency measurement counter.
BIT[6] (SCU_FREQ_DONE) indicates the measurement is finished.
Firmware polls BIT[6] to determine when measurement is complete.
The flag can be cleared by writing BIT[1] to 0.

To simulate this hardware behavior in QEMU:
If BIT[1] is set to 1, BIT[6] is immediately set to 1 to avoid
firmware hanging during polling.
If BIT[1] is cleared to 0, BIT[6] is also cleared to 0 to match
hardware semantics.

The initial value of this register is initialized to 0x80, reflecting the
default value confirmed from an EVB register dump.
