Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH] board/broadcom: add support for BCM4908 platform devices
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2021 12:52:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210812105258.21582-1-zajec5@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

BCM4908 is Broadcom's 64-bit platform with Broadcom's own Brahma-B53
CPU(s). It's mostly used for home routers.

Kernel config is a minimal setup required to support on-SoC blocks like
NAND controller, Ethernet, switch, USB.

To make kernels 5.12+ boot those boards require a hacky patch modifying
hyp-stub.S. That booting problem will hopefully get fixes on day in
upstream kernel code.

+Subject: [PATCH] arm64: don't issue HVC on boot
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Broadcom's CFE loader seems to miss setting SCR_EL3.HCE which results in
+generating an UNDEF and kernel panic on the first HVC.
+
+HVC gets issued by kernels 5.12+ while booting, by kexec and KVM. Until
+someone finds a workaround we have to avoid all above.
+
+Workarounds: 0c93df9622d4 ("arm64: Initialise as nVHE before switching to VHE")
