FromKapil Hali <kapilh@broadcom.com>

Subject[PATCH v4 0/5] SMP support for Broadcom NSP
Message-ID<qAVYu-3yp-11@gated-at.bofh.it>
Change in v4:
* Cleaned up kona_smp.c and associated DT file.
* Corrected documentation for DT bindings.
* Corrected secondary-boot-reg entry for bcm4708 DT file.

Change in v3:
* Fixed patch subject from RESEND PATCH to PATCH
* Deleted arch/arm/mach-bcm/bcm_nsp.h file
* Removed inclusion of header file bcm_nsp.h in platsmp.c
* Removed unused variable 'timeout' in nsp_boot_secondary()

Changes in v2:
Removed the pen_holding method of SMP bringup for NSP SoC and
replaced it with simple wakeup of secondary core using ARM IPI.


This series adds SMP support for Broadcom's Northstar Plus SoC.

There are similar SMP enablement methods for many ARMv7 bsed SoCs.
BCM NSP SoC, has a typical such mechanism - after power-on, the
secondary core is held in a standby state, primary core provides a
startup address for the secondary core and wakes it up. Booting of
the secondary core is serialized using pen_release global variable.

The startup address is programmed at a special register location
which is defined in the device tree using a "secondary-boot-reg"
property in a node whose "enable-method" property matches.

The first patch adds cpu-enable-method in the device tree bindings
documentation. It also updates ARM CPU device tree documentation
with Broadcom Northstar Plus CPU details.

The second patch adds SMP support to the BCM NSP device tree file.

The third patch, enables SMP on BCM NSP. It also consolidates
common SMP handling between BCM NSP and BCM Kona.

The final patch, enables SMP on BCM 4708 and this patch is pulled
in from Jon Mason's patch from the mailing list.

This patch series is constructed based on Linux v4.4-rc1.

Subject[PATCH v4 1/5] dt-bindings: add SMP enable-method for Broadcom NSP
Message-ID<qAVYv-3yp-39@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1281019
Add a compatible string "brcm,bcm-nsp-smp" for Broadcom's
Northstar Plus CPU to the 32-bit ARM CPU device tree binding
documentation file and create a new binding documentation for
Northstar Plus CPU.

+Broadcom Northstar Plus SoC CPU Enable Method
+---------------------------------------------
+This binding defines the enable method used for starting secondary
+CPUs in the following Broadcom SoCs:
+  BCM58522, BCM58525, BCM58535, BCM58622, BCM58623, BCM58625, BCM88312
+
+The enable method is specified by defining the following required
+properties in the "cpus" device tree node:
+  - enable-method = "brcm,bcm-nsp-smp";
+  - secondary-boot-reg = <...>;
+
+The secondary-boot-reg property is a u32 value that specifies the
+physical address of the register which should hold the common
+entry point for a secondary CPU. This entry is cpu node specific
+and should be added per cpu. E.g., in case of NSP (BCM58625) which
+is a dual core CPU SoC, this entry should be added to cpu1 node.
+
+
+Example:
+	cpus {
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <0>;
+		enable-method = "brcm,bcm-nsp-smp";
+
+		cpu0: cpu@0 {

Both of these are supposed to be per cpu core.

'enable-method' if not found in 'cpu' node is looked at in the 'cpus' 
node. Except for two-three SoC families, 'enable-method' is within 
'cpus' node. Is my interpretation incorrect? Did I miss anything here?

So, what do we do from here? I would appreciate a timely answer from the
DT maintainers here so we can decide on the fate of this patch series
for 4.5.

Thank you

I'm not sure how you counted, but it is much more than 2-3 that are
correct (including all of PPC). It is quite mixed in dts files, but it
is documented to be per cpu node, so lets follow the documentation
please.
