Subject: [PATCH v3 09/14] ARM: i.MX8M: add support to pass BL3x bl_params
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 23:41:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260211-v2025-09-0-topic-optee-of-handling-v3-9-dd83358ae624@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260211-v2025-09-0-topic-optee-of-handling-v3-0-dd83358ae624@pengutronix.de>
Add support to handover the BL32 and BL33 entrypoints via the TF-A
struct::bl_params in arg0. This eliminates the requirement to share the
different load addresses between multiple binaries to lower the BSP
integration effort.
In addition to the entriespoints, this commit also adds the support to
pass the builtin barebox DTB to OP-TEE if enabled.
