dm: core: Default to using DEVRES outside of xPL

2026-01-09T15:08:14+00:00

The devm alloc functions that we have may follow the Linux kernel model
where allocations are (almost always) automatically free()'d. However,
quite often we don't enable, in full U-Boot, the tracking and free()'ing
functionality. This in turn leads to memory leaks because the driver
author expects that since the functions have the same name as in the
Linux Kernel they have the same behavior. In turn we then get
functionally correct commits such as commit 00e1fed93c8c ("firmware:
ti_sci: Fix memory leaks in devm_ti_sci_get_of_resource") that manually
add these calls. Rather than manually tracking allocations and
implementing free()s, rework things so that we follow expectations by
enabling the DEVRES functionality (outside of xPL phases).

This turns DEVRES from a prompted symbol to a symbol that must be
select'd, and we now remove our non-managed alloc/free functions from
outside of xPL builds.

arm_ffa: introduce Arm FF-A support

2023-08-08T14:22:03+00:00

Add Arm FF-A support implementing Arm Firmware Framework for Armv8-A v1.0

The Firmware Framework for Arm A-profile processors (FF-A v1.0) [1]
describes interfaces (ABIs) that standardize communication
between the Secure World and Normal World leveraging TrustZone
technology.

This driver uses 64-bit registers as per SMCCCv1.2 spec and comes
on top of the SMCCC layer. The driver provides the FF-A ABIs needed for
querying the FF-A framework from the secure world.

The driver uses SMC32 calling convention which means using the first
32-bit data of the Xn registers.

All supported ABIs come with their 32-bit version except FFA_RXTX_MAP
which has 64-bit version supported.

Both 32-bit and 64-bit direct messaging are supported which allows both
32-bit and 64-bit clients to use the FF-A bus.

FF-A is a discoverable bus and similar to architecture features.
FF-A bus is discovered using ARM_SMCCC_FEATURES mechanism performed
by the PSCI driver.

Clients are able to probe then use the FF-A bus by calling the DM class
searching APIs (e.g: uclass_first_device).

The Secure World is considered as one entity to communicate with
using the FF-A bus. FF-A communication is handled by one device and
one instance (the bus). This FF-A driver takes care of all the
interactions between Normal world and Secure World.

The driver exports its operations to be used by upper layers.

Exported operations:

- ffa_partition_info_get
- ffa_sync_send_receive
- ffa_rxtx_unmap

Generic FF-A methods are implemented in the Uclass (arm-ffa-uclass.c).
Arm specific methods are implemented in the Arm driver (arm-ffa.c).

For more details please refer to the driver documentation [2].

spl: Ensure all SPL symbols in Kconfig have some SPL dependency

2022-07-07T13:29:08+00:00

Tighten up symbol dependencies in a number of places.  Ensure that a SPL
specific option has at least a direct dependency on SPL.  In places
where it's clear that we depend on something more specific, use that
dependency instead.  This means in a very small number of places we can
drop redundant dependencies.

firmware: psci: bind arm smccc features when discovered

2022-06-23T17:12:56+00:00

Use PSCI device to query Arm SMCCC v1.1 support from secure monitor
and if so, bind drivers for the SMCCC features that monitor supports.

Drivers willing to be bound from Arm SMCCC features discovery can use
macro ARM_SMCCC_FEATURE_DRIVER() to register to smccc feature discovery,
providing target driver name and a callback function that returns
whether or not the SMCCC feature is supported by the system.

firmware: add SCMI agent uclass

2020-09-30T15:55:23+00:00

This change introduces SCMI agent uclass to interact with a firmware
using the SCMI protocols [1].

SCMI agent uclass currently supports a single method to request
processing of the SCMI message by an identified server. A SCMI message
is made of a byte payload associated to a protocol ID and a message ID,
all defined by the SCMI specification [1]. On return from process_msg()
method, the caller gets the service response.

SCMI agent uclass defines a post bind generic sequence for all devices.
The sequence binds all the SCMI protocols listed in the FDT for that
SCMI agent device. Currently none, but later change will introduce
protocols.

This change implements a simple sandbox device for the SCMI agent uclass.
The sandbox nicely answers SCMI_NOT_SUPPORTED to SCMI messages.
To prepare for further test support, the sandbox exposes a architecture
function for test application to read the sandbox emulated devices state.
Currently supports 2 SCMI agents, identified by an ID in the FDT device
name. The simplistic DM test does nothing yet.

SCMI agent uclass is designed for platforms that embed a SCMI server in
a firmware hosted somewhere, for example in a companion co-processor or
in the secure world of the executing processor. SCMI protocols allow an
SCMI agent to discover and access external resources as clock, reset
controllers and more. SCMI agent and server communicate following the
SCMI specification [1]. This SCMI agent implementation complies with
the DT bindings defined in the Linux kernel source tree regarding
SCMI agent description since v5.8.

spl: kconfig: separate sysreset and firmware drivers from misc

2019-07-21T10:47:13+00:00

This adds separate kconfig options for drivers/sysreset and
drivers/firmware.

Up to now, CONFIG_SPL_DRIVERS_MISC_SUPPORT added drivers/misc to SPL
build but also added drivers/firmware and drivers/sysreset at the same
time.

Since that is confusing, this patch uses CONFIG_SPL_SYSRESET for
drivers/sysreset and adds CONFIG_SPL_FIRMWARE for
drivers/firmware (and accordingly for the TPL options).

CONFIG_SPL_DRIVERS_MISC_SUPPORT stays for including drivers/misc into
the SPL build (and accordingly for TPL) since there are boards using
non-DM (non UCLASS_MISC) files from drivers/misc. Such boards don't
have CONFIG_SPL_MISC enabled, so cannot use this to include
drivers/misc into the SPL build.
