Newer TF-A versions provide a new image loading protocol. This is
used on
(newer?) NXP's SoCs. Normally, the bootflow is bl1 -> bl2 -> bl31

u-boot. With this series it is possible that U-Boot SPL loads the
bl31
directly and thus replacing bl1 and bl2 from the TF-A.
This was tested on the Kontron sl28 board using NXPs bl31 and the
upstream
version of the OP-TEE Trusted OS.
I still have some questions about this.
As I see from TFA previous image format has been removed in 2018 by

DOH! Lol, I'm using just one non-upstream part for the whole board
and of course it is doing something miserable. I wasn't aware of
this.
On Xilinx ZynqMP I use SPL->bl31 loading but not using that TFA
structure because xilinx is using own format.
But I am curious if V2 was removed in 2018 who is really using
previous
one and also if current implemenation is origin or also not full
v2.
NXP,
https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/atf/tree/plat/nxp/common/common.mk#n55
The last non-nxp commit there was from around March 2018..
And these patches are not breaking boot on zynqmp that's why not
big
deal for me.
I was looking at porting TFA to upstream for this board but there is
such a huge gap. Therefore, it seemed to be easier to just use the
vendor version for now.
Please get this reviewed by people who are using current blX code.
What do you mean by blX code? Nobody is using this flow for now, i.e.
spl -> bl31 -> u-boot
As I said I am not quite sure about it. I see that rockchip guys are
using ATF and they also call that code in ATF. They should know which
version the use.
NXP imx8 also uses u-boot -> bl31 as far as I know.
Definitely check with them to ack your patches.
I've put Kever (who did the initial patches for rockchip) on CC for
this.
But again they are using the old method. So lets assume they will ignore
this series (for whatever reason), won't it be accepted then? I mean
this series doesn't touch the old behavior, just adding a new one.
