Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] x86: fsp: Don't program MTRR for DRAM for FSP1
Date: Mon,  2 Aug 2021 17:45:21 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210802094522.761676-2-bmeng.cn@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210802094522.761676-1-bmeng.cn@gmail.com>

There are several outstanding issues as to why this does not apply
to FSP1:

* For FSP1, the system memory and reserved memory used by FSP are
  already programmed in the MTRR by FSP.
* The 'mtrr_top' mistakenly includes TSEG memory range that has the
  same RES_MEM_RESERVED resource type. Its address is programmed
  and reported by FSP to be near the top of 4 GiB space, which is
  not what we want for SDRAM.
* The call to mtrr_add_request() is not guaranteed to have its size
  to be exactly the power of 2. This causes reserved bits of the
  IA32_MTRR_PHYSMASK register to be written which generates #GP.

For FSP2, it seems this is necessary as without this, U-Boot boot
process on Chromebook Coral goes very slowly.

(no changes since v2)

Changes in v2:
- Keep programing MTRR to FSP2 only
