This has been proved by test, it works well on Seattle Foundation model has same value. So I don't think it is wrong
otherwise someone has the data sheet of Seattle B0, and it shows that is wrong.
If only 0x1000 is used, why would you have to reserve 0x10000 ? You never access any higher addresses, so no matter what the datasheet says, 0x1000 should be sufficient. What matters is what the driver uses.
the reason for using 0x10000 before is : (1)in <ARM v8-A Foundation Platform User Guide(Version: 9.1)> page 20 0x00_2A44_0000 0x00_2A44_FFFF - EL2 Generic Watchdog Control 64KB S/NS 0x00_2A45_0000 0x00_2A45_FFFF - EL2 Generic Watchdog Refresh 64KB S/NS (2)It is also confirmed by Suravee, in Seattle, the size is 64KB also. (3) these configuration has passed the test in Foundation model and Seattle B0.
Not sure the reason, maybe because of the 64KB page size.
But, yes, in SBSA, the device only has 4KB register area, and the driver only need to use 4KB.
So you are right, "What matters is what the driver uses." , so will use 0x1000. I think there is not problem, because ACPI uses this size.
