Add a mechanism for early SoC initialization for platforms that need additional hardware initialization not possible through the regular device tree and drivers mechanism. With this, a SoC specific initialization function can be called very early, before DTB parsing is done by parse_dtb() in Linux RISC-V kernel setup code. This can be very useful for early hardware initialization for No-MMU kernels booted directly in M-mode because it is quite likely that no other booting stage exist prior to the No-MMU kernel. Example use of a SoC early initialization is as follows: static void vendor_abc_early_init(const void *fdt) { /* * some early init code here that can use simple matches * against the flat device tree file. */ } SOC_EARLY_INIT_DECLARE("vendor,abc", abc_early_init); This early initialization function is executed only if the flat device tree for the board has a 'compatible = "vendor,abc"' entry; Signed-off-by: Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@wdc.com> Signed-off-by: Anup Patel <anup.patel@wdc.com> Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmerdabbelt@google.com>
