mips: Call bootm_final()

2026-03-18T19:17:34+00:00

Replace the open-coded bootstage_fdt_add_report() and
bootstage_report() with a call to bootm_final(). This also adds the
"Starting kernel" message, board_quiesce_devices() and
dm_remove_devices_active() which were not previously called on MIPS.

treewide: Clean up DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR usage

2026-02-17T19:50:22+00:00

Remove DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR from files where gd is not used, and
drop the unnecessary inclusion of asm/global_data.h.

Headers should be included directly by the files that need them,
rather than indirectly via global_data.h.

mips: mtmips: add CPU reset support for MT7628

2026-02-03T18:51:37+00:00

Allow the system to reset the CPU without calling the reset
controller. This patch also removed the default SYSRESET controller
for MT7628, as it is now optional.

mips: Update linker scripts to ensure appended device tree is aligned

2026-01-20T18:07:16+00:00

With commit 0535e46d55d7 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version
v1.7.2-35-g52f07dcca47c") it is now a fatal error to U-Boot if our
device tree is not 8-byte aligned. In commit 85f586035d75 ("ARM: OMAP2+:
Pad SPL binary to 8-byte alignment before DTB") Beleswar Padhi explains
that we must have ALIGN(x) statements inside of a section to ensure that
padding is included and not simply that the linker address counter is
incremented. To that end, this patch:
- Aligns the final section before _end (for U-Boot) or _image_binary_end
  (for xPL phases) by 8-bytes by adding '. = ALIGN(8);' to the final
  section before the symbol. For SPL we need this in two places to cover
  all build configurations.
- Remove now-spurious  '. = ALIGN(x);' statements that were intended to
  provide the above alignments.
- Ensure that we do have alignment by adding an ASSERT so that when not
  aligned we fail to link (and explain why).

kbuild: Bump the build system to 6.1

2026-01-02T16:28:14+00:00

Our last sync with the kernel was 5.1.

We are so out of sync now, that tracking the patches and backporting
them one by one makes little sense and it's going to take ages.

This is an attempt to sync up Makefiles to 6.1.
Unfortunately due to sheer amount of patches this is not easy to review,
but that's what we decided during a community call for the bump to 5.1,
so we are following the same guidelines here.

MIPS: Assure end of U-Boot is at 8-byte aligned offset

2025-11-28T16:20:22+00:00

Make sure the end of U-Boot is at 8-byte aligned offset, not 4-byte
aligned offset. This allows safely appending DT at the end of U-Boot
with the guarantee that the DT will be at 8-byte aligned offset. This
8-byte alignment is now checked by newer libfdt 1.7.2 .

global: Make ARCH_MISC_INIT a selected symbol

2025-07-11T17:33:25+00:00

This symbol is not something that the user should be enabling or
disabling but rather the developer for a particular board should select
it when required.

This is mostly size neutral, however a few places do have changes. In
the case of i.MX6ULL systems, it is always the case that
arch_misc_init() could call setup_serial_number() and do useful work,
but was not enabled widely, but now is. In the case of i.MX23/28
systems, we should be able to call mx28_fixup_vt() again here, so do so.
Finally, some platforms were calling arch_misc_init() and then not doing
anything and this results in removing the option.

Merge patch series "list.h/treewide: get rid of no-op prefetch()"

2025-06-18T14:05:29+00:00

Rasmus Villemoes  says:

While looking through list.h, I saw that the regular list_* helpers
(and one of the hlist_* ones) still contain the prefetch() that was
removed in linux 14 years ago. It doesn't do anything, but makes the
macros harder to read, so get rid of it, and the fallback, no-op
definition that they relied on. That requires removing a few uses
outside list.h as well.

checkpatch warns about some whitespace issues in list.h, but as I've
copied whole kerneldoc+#define blocks directly from the linux kernel,
I think it's better to just accept that so that we don't introduce
needless diffs. The "macro argument reuse" arguments should also be
ignored, as e.g. the "member" arguments are obviously always just bare
identifiers, and the "pos" arguments must be assigned to multiple
times.

mips: drop unused prefetch code and logic

2025-06-18T14:05:04+00:00

AFAICT, CONFIG_CPU_HAS_PREFETCH has never existed as a proper Kconfig
symbol in U-Boot, nor has any board include file ever defined it.
