Cover letter [U-Boot] [PATCH 0/2]: arm: Provide lowlevel_init C function wrapper for v7
Quoted 2 lines · Tom Rini

Hey all,

Hi Tom,

Quoted 8 lines

As Allen Martin noted, on tegra platforms a bug is exposed when using certain toolchains that currently calls to lowlevel_init must be calls to another assembly function as the stack is not explicitly setup / saved and thus register corruption can occur. Over in TI-land Aneesh V wrote a lowlevel_init that sets up the stack and calls s_init which is a C function that does what lowlevel_init does on other platforms. The code is generic to at least v7, so this series moves it to arch/arm/cpu/armv7.

Then as far as I can see in your patch, other armv7 can profit as well, such as the i.MX5 and i.MX6 ;-)

The only issue is to generalize the entry point for the function to setup PLL and or pinmux. It should be enough to change lowlevel_init to s_init in i.MX to do the job.

Best regards,
Stefano
