7Some boards are running with secure firmware running in TrustZone secure
8world, which changes the way some things have to be initialized. This makes
9a need to provide an interface for such platforms to specify available firmware
10operations and call them when needed.

12Firmware operations can be specified by filling in a struct firmware_ops
13with appropriate callbacks and then registering it with register_firmware_ops()
dc7a12bd 14function::
7366b92a
TF
15
16 void register_firmware_ops(const struct firmware_ops *ops)
17

18The ops pointer must be non-NULL. More information about struct firmware_ops
19and its members can be found in arch/arm/include/asm/firmware.h header.

21There is a default, empty set of operations provided, so there is no need to
22set anything if platform does not require firmware operations.
23
dc7a12bd 24To call a firmware operation, a helper macro is provided::
7366b92a
TF
25
26 #define call_firmware_op(op, ...) \
27 ((firmware_ops->op) ? firmware_ops->op(__VA_ARGS__) : (-ENOSYS))
28
29the macro checks if the operation is provided and calls it or otherwise returns
30-ENOSYS to signal that given operation is not available (for example, to allow
31fallback to legacy operation).
32
dc7a12bd 33Example of registering firmware operations::
7366b92a
TF
34
35 /* board file */
36
37 static int platformX_do_idle(void)
38 {
39 /* tell platformX firmware to enter idle */
40 return 0;
41 }
42
43 static int platformX_cpu_boot(int i)
44 {
45 /* tell platformX firmware to boot CPU i */
46 return 0;
47 }
48
49 static const struct firmware_ops platformX_firmware_ops = {
50 .do_idle = exynos_do_idle,
51 .cpu_boot = exynos_cpu_boot,
52 /* other operations not available on platformX */
53 };
54
55 /* init_early callback of machine descriptor */
56 static void __init board_init_early(void)
57 {
58 register_firmware_ops(&platformX_firmware_ops);
59 }
60
dc7a12bd 61Example of using a firmware operation::
7366b92a
TF
62
63 /* some platform code, e.g. SMP initialization */
64
7673f5b1 65 __raw_writel(__pa_symbol(exynos4_secondary_startup),
7366b92a
TF
66 CPU1_BOOT_REG);
67
68 /* Call Exynos specific smc call */
69 if (call_firmware_op(cpu_boot, cpu) == -ENOSYS)
70 cpu_boot_legacy(...); /* Try legacy way */
71
72 gic_raise_softirq(cpumask_of(cpu), 1);
