Thanks for fixing this. I was thinking if we can separate PSCI and SMCCC
quickly as a fix for this but I think he needs to be discussed in detail.
I am fine with this fix as is and happy to apply to my tree if no one
objects.
Sorry but taking this patch as opportunity to discuss how to carry the
dependency in future. Just a proposal,
1. Introduce a DT node for SMCCC v1.2+
2. The new SMCCC driver(strictly speaking library/few APIs) can probe
independent of PSCI if DT node is present
3. Else we fallback on PSCI and detect the SMCCC version for v1.1 and
v1.2
4. Assume v1.0 if
a. PSCI FEATURE returns NOT_SUPPORTED for ARM_SMCCC_VERSION_FUNC_ID
b. CONFIG_ARM_PSCI{,_FW} is not defined
Mark/Will/Marc,
Any other use-case config missed above ?
