Not sure what you mean. Can you elaborate? I do think the introduction chapter needs to be reworked anyway to talk about standardizing the firmware interface. It too quickly jumps to "when UEFI is chosen", when what I'd rather it present is "here is a standardized platform taylored to embedded systems"... and then get to UEFI is part of that standard.

Multi-cpu boot protocol?

by Grant Likely

I'm adding some EBBR text around the CPU state at boot and I've lost track of what is being done for multicore bringup. What is the current state-of-the-art for multicore boot protocol when PSCI isn't available? SBBR allows for the MP Boot Protocol; with the intend of phasing it out: https://acpica.org/sites/acpica/files/MP%20Startup%20for%20ARM%20platforms.… The kernel documents the spin table method: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/tre… What are the cool kids currently doing here? g.

Assigning EBBR issues

by Grant Likely

On the weekly call today I suggested for people to assign issues to themselves if they wanted to take it on. Turns out GitHub doesn't allow that unless you've got write access to the project. So, if you want to take on an issue, add a comment saying so and I'll send you an invite to join the project. Once you've accepted the invite I can assign issues to you. g.

[PATCH] Move contributing details to CONTRIBUTING file

[RFC PATCH] driver core: make deferring probe forever optional

by Rob Herring

Deferred probe will currently wait forever on dependent devices to probe, but sometimes a driver will never exist. It's also not always critical for a driver to exist. Platforms can rely on default configuration from the bootloader or reset defaults for things such as pinctrl and power domains. This is often the case with initial platform support until various drivers get enabled. There's at least 2 scenarios where deferred probe can render a platform broken. Both involve using a DT which has more devices and dependencies than the kernel supports. The 1st case is a driver may be disabled in the kernel config. The 2nd case is the kernel version may simply not have the dependent driver. This can happen if using a newer DT (provided by firmware perhaps) with a stable kernel version. Unfortunately, this change breaks with modules as we have no way of knowing when modules are done loading. One possibility is to make this opt in or out based on compatible strings rather than at a subsystem level. Ideally this information could be extracted automatically somehow. OTOH, maybe the lists are pretty small. There's only a handful of subsystems that can be optional, and then only so many drivers in those that can be modules (at least for pinctrl, many drivers are built-in only). Cc: Alexander Graf <agraf(a)suse.de> Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <robh(a)kernel.org> --- This patch came out of a discussion on the ARM boot-architecture list[1] about DT forwards and backwards compatibility issues. There are issues with newer DTs breaking on older, stable kernels. Some of these are difficult to solve, but cases of optional devices not having kernel support should be solvable. I tested this on a RPi3 B with the pinctrl driver forced off. With this change, the MMC/SD and UART drivers can function without the pinctrl driver.

EBBR issues moved to github

by Grant Likely

I've started tracking EBBR issues in github, so I will no longer track them in the weekly meeting notes document. Please go take a look. Feel free to add issues for things that need to be done, or comment on the items that are there. Better yet, write patches to fix the existing issues! ;-) https://github.com/ARM-software/ebbr/issues Cheers, g.
