Subject: [PATCH 3/4] amba: support masking data abort during identification
Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2025 09:25:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250318082507.419785-3-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250318082507.419785-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>

Registration of an AMBA device requires reading its pid and cid
registers after turning on the device. This is the first I/O done to the
device and may end up crashing if the device tree doesn't describe
the correct clock and power domains or if a previous boot stage
should've enabled them, but didn't.

This is not a likely issue, but when it happens it crashes the system
annoyingly early during device tree populating.

Add a symbol that masks the data abort exception around the
identification code to turn the crash into an error message instead.

+	  Registration of an AMBA device requires reading its pid and cid
+	  registers after turning on the device, which can involve enabling
+	  clocks, deasserting resets and powering on power domains.
+	  In some cases, these resources are not available to barebox running
+	  in the normal world and thus need to be setup by a previous
+	  stage bootloader running in the secure world.
+	  If such setup doesn't happen, accessing devices may lead to
+	  a data abort or complete system hang.
+
+	  As a workaround for the former case, this option can be enabled
+	  to gracefully handle data aborts during readout of the PID/CID
+	  registers. The proper solution is fixing your first stage
+	  bootloader or allow barebox access to the missing resources.
