ARM: Layerscape: Add QSPI boot support
Booting Layerscape from QSPI is a bit tricky and the approach we take is different from the one U-Boot has taken, so it's worth writing and reading the following explanation. The QSPI controller can map the Flash contents into the memory space (On LS1046a at 0x40000000). The PBL unit uses this to read the RCW from this memory window. The Layerscape SoCs have a PowerPC history, so it seemed appropriate for the designers to let the QSPI controller operate in big endian mode by default. To let the SoC see the correct RCW we have to write the RCW and PBI data with be64 endianess. Our PBL image tool pokes the initial binary into the SoC internal SRAM using PBI data as done with SD/MMC boot aswell. barebox then changes the QSPI controller endianess to le64 to properly read the barebox binary (placed at an flash offset of 128KiB, so found in memory at 0x40020000) into SDRAM and jumps to it. U-Boot has another approach. Here the initial binary is executed in place directly at 0x40100000. This means the QSPI controller endianess must be swapped inside the PBI data. This has the effect that the whole RCW/PBI data must be 64bit endianess swapped *except* the very last word of the PBI data which contains the CRC command and is read already with changed endianess. As a conclusion when porting QSPI PBI files from U-Boot to barebox skip commands changing the endianess in the QSPI controller and make sure the image is executed in internal SRAM and not in the Flash memory window. Lines like this should be removed: 09550000 000f400c This sets the binary execution address: 09570604 40100000 For barebox it should be changed to 0x10000000. As a result the PBI files can probably be unified between SD and QSPI boot. Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
