Sometimes, especially in a production system we may not want to
use a "smart bootloader" like u-boot to load kernel, ramdisk and
device tree from a filesystem on eMMC, but rather load the kernel
from a NAND partition and just run it as soon as we can, and in
this case it is convenient to have device tree compiled into the
kernel binary. Since this case is not limited to MMU-less systems,
let's support it for these which have MMU enabled too.

Don't assign initial_boot_params directly here because the
early_init_dt_scan() will do it.
The setup_vm() is supposed to setup dtb_early_va and dtb_early_pa
for MMU-enabled case so please add a "#ifdef" over there for the
built-in DTB case.

This comment needs to be updated and moved along the memblock_reserve()
statement.

This patch should be based upon Damiens builtin DTB patch.

That's why we are doing early_init_dt_verify() again for the MMU-enabled
case which already takes care of your concern.
We use early_init_dt_verify() like most architectures to set the initial DTB.

Damien's patch is also trying to move to use generic BUILTIN_DTB
support for the MMU-less case so it is similar work hence the chance
of patch conflict.

The throw-away early DTB mapping in early_pg_dir is anyway
redundant when we have built-in DTB so this patch needs to
add an "#ifdef" around it for the MMU-enabled case. Also, please
update dtb_early_va and dtb_early_pa separately for MMU-enabled
case in the setup_vm()

early_init_dt_scan will set initial_boot_params to dtb_early_va from
the early mapping which will be gone by the time
unflatten_and_copy_device_tree() is called.

Thanks for the pointer, however I don't think our patches have

I might be out in the woods here but... Do you mean the call to
early_init_dt_verify() in setup_arch() which is compiled out
completely in the CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB case?
Or is there any other call that I'm overlooking?

Sorry for the confusion, what I meant was that we are calling
early_init_dt_verify() from setup_arch() for the MMU-enabled
with built-in DTB disabled case to update "initial_boot_params"
after the boot CPU has switched from early_pg_dir to swapper_pg_dir.
For MMU-enabled with built-in DTB case, if setup_vm() sets the
dtb_early_va and dtb_early_pa correctly then early_init_dt_scan()
called from setup_arch() will automatically set correct value for
"initial_boot_params".
It is strange that early_init_dt_verify() is being compiled-out for you
because the early_init_dt_scan() called from setup_arch() also uses
early_init_dt_verify(). I quickly compiled the NoMMU kernel for K210
which also uses built-in DTB and I see that early_init_dt_verify()
is not being compiled-out when built-in DTB is enabled.

Oh I think I get it now. You are suggesting to skip the temporary
mapping for DT altogether since it is anyway in the kernel mapping
range, aren't you?
That does make sense indeed, thanks :)

I did not say that early_init_dt_verify() is compiled out, it's the
call to it in setup_arch() that is compiled out if BUILTIN_DTB is
selected. However, if I understand you correctly now, it should not
matter if we don't set dtb_early_va to point to the temporary mapping.

Yes, that's what I am suggesting.

Yes, dtb_early_va can point to some other location such as
built-in DTB.
For MMU-enabled with built-in DTB case, the setup_vm() should
skip the temporary mapping to DT and instead set dtb_early_va
and dtb_early_pa to point to the built-in DTB.
