Subject: [PATCH master 2/3] ARMv7: hyp: allow disabling support for invoking barebox in HYP mode
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 13:24:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120122453.627239-3-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260120122453.627239-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>

Older SoCs like the Cortex-A9 don't need this handling and disabling
it allows us to save about 500 bytes.
