Subject: [PATCH v2 14/15] spl: riscv: opensbi: Error on misaligned FDT
Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2025 15:18:12 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250315221813.1265193-15-CFSworks@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250315221813.1265193-1-CFSworks@gmail.com>

libfdt 1.6.1+ requires the FDT to be 8-byte aligned and returns an error
if not. OpenSBI 1.0+ includes this version of libfdt and will also
reject misaligned FDTs.

However, OpenSBI cannot indicate the error to the user: since it cannot
access the serial console, it can only silently hang. This proved very
difficult to diagnose without proper debugging facilities. Therefore,
give the U-Boot SPL, which *can* print error messages, an additional
check for proper FDT alignment. Hopefully this saves a lot of
development cycles if another developer encounters alignment problems.
