Subject: [PATCH] ARM: BCM5301X: Disable MMU and Dcache during decompression
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Broadcom devices have broken CFE (bootloader) that leaves hardware in an
invalid state. It causes problems with booting Linux. On Northstar
devices kernel was randomly hanging in ~25% of tries during early init.
Hangs used to happen at random places in the start_kernel. On BCM53573
kernel doesn't even seem to start booting.
To workaround this problem we need to do following very early:
1) Clear 2 following bits in the SCTLR register:
#define CR_M (1 << 0) /* MMU enable */
#define CR_C (1 << 2) /* Dcache enable */
2) Flush the whole D-cache
3) Disable L2 cache
Unfortunately this patch is not upstreamable as it does above things
unconditionally. We can't check if we are running on Broadcom platform
in any safe way and doing such hacks with ARCH_MULTI_V7 is unacceptable
as it could break other devices support.
