0002 Interface for registering and calling firmware-specific operations for ARM

0007 Some boards are running with secure firmware running in TrustZone secure
0008 world, which changes the way some things have to be initialized. This makes
0009 a need to provide an interface for such platforms to specify available firmware
0010 operations and call them when needed.
0011 
0012 Firmware operations can be specified by filling in a struct firmware_ops
0013 with appropriate callbacks and then registering it with register_firmware_ops()
0014 function::
0015 
0016         void register_firmware_ops(const struct firmware_ops *ops)
0017 
0018 The ops pointer must be non-NULL. More information about struct firmware_ops
0019 and its members can be found in arch/arm/include/asm/firmware.h header.
0020 
0021 There is a default, empty set of operations provided, so there is no need to
0022 set anything if platform does not require firmware operations.
0023 
0024 To call a firmware operation, a helper macro is provided::
0025 
0026         #define call_firmware_op(op, ...)                               \
0027                 ((firmware_ops->op) ? firmware_ops->op(__VA_ARGS__) : (-ENOSYS))
0028 
0029 the macro checks if the operation is provided and calls it or otherwise returns
0030 -ENOSYS to signal that given operation is not available (for example, to allow
0031 fallback to legacy operation).
0032 
0033 Example of registering firmware operations::
0034 
0035         /* board file */
0036 
0037         static int platformX_do_idle(void)
0038         {
0039                 /* tell platformX firmware to enter idle */
0040                 return 0;
0041         }
0042 
0043         static int platformX_cpu_boot(int i)
0044         {
0045                 /* tell platformX firmware to boot CPU i */
0046                 return 0;
0047         }
0048 
0049         static const struct firmware_ops platformX_firmware_ops = {
0050                 .do_idle        = exynos_do_idle,
0051                 .cpu_boot       = exynos_cpu_boot,
0052                 /* other operations not available on platformX */
0053         };
0054 
0055         /* init_early callback of machine descriptor */
0056         static void __init board_init_early(void)
0057         {
0058                 register_firmware_ops(&platformX_firmware_ops);
0059         }
0060 
0061 Example of using a firmware operation::
0062 
0063         /* some platform code, e.g. SMP initialization */
0064 
0065         __raw_writel(__pa_symbol(exynos4_secondary_startup),
0066                 CPU1_BOOT_REG);
0067 
0068         /* Call Exynos specific smc call */
0069         if (call_firmware_op(cpu_boot, cpu) == -ENOSYS)
0070                 cpu_boot_legacy(...); /* Try legacy way */
0071 
0072         gic_raise_softirq(cpumask_of(cpu), 1);
