#1254511 — [PATCH] of/fdt: fix error checking for earlycon address

fdt_translate_address() returns OF_BAD_ADDR on error.  It is defined as
a u64 value, so the variable "addr" should be defined as u64 as well.

Fixes: fb11ffe74c79 ("of/fdt: add FDT serial scanning for earlycon")

Good catch.

I would prefer if fdt_translate_address() returned resource_size_t (which
is the proper type for handling addresses as integers) and that type
was propagated through early_init_dt_scan_chosen_serial => of_setup_earlycon.

Regards,
Peter Hurley


PS - It seems that there is a new user of fdt_translate_address() in the
nios arch:

I've copied the author as that should have been an earlycon in the
altera uart driver(s) rather than early_printk. Oh well.

That can be problematic in the DT code. The size of resource_size_t
can vary on 32-bit as it is based on phys_addr_t which in turn is
based on CONFIG_LPAE setting. However, the address sizes in DT are
fixed and may be 64-bit. So we stick with u64 in the DT code.

I think I see your point about fdt_translate_address(); you want it to
mirror of_translate_address(), yes?  If so, then I have no objection
to this patch and will mark it reviewed.

But the u64 value from fdt_translate_address() should be preserved
at least to the ioremap()/set_fixmap() in earlycon_map() .
I could roll that change into my earlycon series that moves
fdt_translate_address() into of_setup_earlycon(), thus preserving
the u64 value until it's assigned to a phys_addr_t.

Peter Hurley
