Subject: [PATCH 0/3] ARM: Fix reset in SPL if SYSRESET is not used
Message-ID: <cover.1583328917.git.hws@denx.de>
Hello,
continuing on the discussion around Claudius' patch for fixing reset in SPL [1]
we have taken a closer look at the issue. To quickly summarize the situation:
The original patch was to enable the generic ARM implementation of
`do_reset` if CONFIG_SYSRESET is not enabled in SPL. This would break
compilation for some boards which define their own `do_reset` in
`board/*/spl.c`.
To be more specific, the following 4 boards have this custom `do_reset`:
- toradex/verdin-imx8mm
- freescale/imx8mn_evk
- freescale/imx8mm_evk
- freescale/imx8mp_evk
I hope we can all agree that `do_reset` is not at all meant to be implemented
in board files. From looking at the related code for imx8m, it feels like this
was just a workaround hack to archieve the same thing which Claudius has fixed.
So this patch series reverts the addition of `do_reset` implementations in
imx8m board files and instead switches to using the proper fix provided by
Claudius.
Additionally, the custom do_reset implementations were passing an address
(WDOG1_BASE_ADDR) to `reset_cpu()` instead of 0. This is the only place in the
entire U-Boot tree where this happens. Instead, all other implementations
simply ignore the parameter and 0 is passed by callers. It looks a lot like
this is a legacy left-over which makes me think that using it for a (hard-coded)
watchdog address is not a good idea as it breaks convention with the rest of
U-Boot.
