Commit: dm: core: Enable optional use of fdt_translate_address()

Enables use of this function as default, but after this it's not
possible to get dev address for the case in which: '#size-cells == 0'

This causes errors when getting address for some GPIOs, for which
the '#size-cells' is set to 0.

Example error:
'__of_translate_address: Bad cell count for gpx0'

Allowing for that case by modifying the macro 'OF_CHECK_COUNTS',
(called from )__of_translate_address(), fixes the issue.

Now, this macro doesn't check, that '#size-cells' is greater than 0.

This is possible from the specification point of view, but I'm not sure
that it doesn't introduce a regression for other configs.

Please test and share the results.

Tested-on: Odroid U3, Odroid X2, Odroid XU3, Sandbox.

This seems to conflict with the comment at the top of this function:

    * Note: We consider that crossing any level with #size-cells == 0 to
mean
    * that translation is impossible (that is we are not dealing with a
value
    * that can be mapped to a cpu physical address). This is not really
specified
    * that way, but this is traditionally the way IBM at least do things

What should we do here?


Is that commit acceptable? I would like send V2 with removing the above
comment.


That's what I am worried about. Presumably the comment is accurate
today and this check has some value. I was hoping Stefan might know.


Unfortunately no. I just stumbled over this problem with the
translation of the "complex" ranges on the MVEBU platform. And
noticed that we already have this functionality to translate
the addresses the "right way".

I'm wondering how this problem with those GPIOs is handled in
the kernel? I assume that it is working correctly there, right?
Przemyslaw, could you perhaps check this and see, why its
working there? And change / fix it in U-Boot accordingly?

Let's pick up this patch for now as a bug-fix. We can deal with this
problem after the release.

Applied to u-boot-dm/master.

I'll post a revert after the release. It seems like you and Stephen
are making good progress.

- Simon



Why so fast with this one?

I think, that more proper for a temporary fix is my latest patch with #size-cells count checking only if ranges found in the parent node.

I will continue the discussion with Stephen.
