[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1] sunxi: video: mark framebuffer as EFI reserved memory

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

Inform the EFI subsystem that the framebuffer memory is reserved.

Without the patch the AllocatePool boot service allocates memory from the
framebuffer which will will be overwritten by screen output.

Should this patch be merged into v2018.03 release or can it wait?

Thanks,

Anatolij

Hello Anatolij,

v2018.05 is fine. The problem will become visible in more cases with

[PATCH 1/1] efi_loader: efi_allocate_pages is too restrictive
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/881055/
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2018-March/321840.html

which is also pending.

Regards

Heinrich

Okay, I'll apply your patch when efi_loader patch is merged.

If efi_allocate_memory is called with type = EFI_ALLOCATE_MAX_ADDRESS we
can already have an error. So, please, put the patch into your v2018.05
queue. There is no need to wait for Alex.
