Just so you know, the amount of support on the RPi4 you might be able to get
updating bcm2835_defconfig's config is very limited. Only 1GB of ram and no
PCIe (so no USBs).

FYI I've been working on getting a workable configuration for arm32, short of
creating a new config altogether:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org/msg163770.html

That said, if you insist on booting with bcm2835_defconfig, I have no problem
with the patch.

Nicolas

Yes, I know. A lots of core features is missing: SMP, HIGHMEM, LPAE, PCI 
and so on, but having a possibility to boot RPi4 with this defconfig 
increases the test coverage.

Right, having a proper multi defconfig with LPAE is also needed on other 
boards. I would add VIRTUALIZATION and KVM to it too.

in case you want to increase test coverage, we better enable all
Raspberry Pi 4 relevant hardware parts (hwrng, thermal, PCI ...). This
is what we did for older Pi boards.

SMP, HIGHMEM, LPAE are different and shouldn't be enabled in
bcm2835_defconfig from my PoV.

Okay, I will add thermal in v2. HWRNG is already selected as module. 
Enabling PCI without LPAE makes no sense as the driver won't be able to 
initialize properly.

Maybe it would make sense to also add bcm2711_defconfig or 
bcm2835_lpae_defconfig?

IMO bcm2711_defconfig if the last resort solution. I don't think you can
do bcm2835_lpae_defconfig as RPi and RPi2 SoCs don't support LPAE. An
intemediate solution is being discussed here:

Okay, if you want I can send a patch adding bcm2711_defconfig.

Right, I also agree that multi_v7_lpae_defconfig is needed. Best would 
be to have both (bcm2711 for quick tests of board-dedicated kernel and 
multi for distributions).

So I understand you'd be creating a new bcm2711_defconfig based on
bcm2835_defconfig plus whatever is needed. Sounds OK to me. It'd be nice to
have a small kernel config to do bisects with.

Any comments Florian, Stefan?

If we can make bcm2711_defconfig a fragment that applies to
bcm2835_defconfig then we are not maintaining a completely new
configuration file and we take advantage of all existing coverage from
bcm2835_defconfig. A completely new bcm2711_defconfig would be hard to
justify IMHO when multi_v7_lpae_defconfig is sort of what we would prefer.

BTW, if you register the PCI outbound window as part of 2711's machine
descriptor map_io callback, you should have it trickled down from
iotable_init() -> create_mapping() -> __create_mapping() ->
create_36bit_mapping which should allow the creation of such a mapping
into the 32-bit virtual address space of the kernel. You would not quite
be able to use the entire 4GB of DRAM in such a configuration because
your virtual address space already needs ~41MB of register space + 64MB
of PCIe outbound space but at least bcm2835_defconfig would keep working.

NB: this only works AFAICT if you do this at map_io() time, not sure if
ioremap() will accept a >= 4GB physical address.
