Subject[PATCH v3 0/6] bus: brcmstb_gisb: add support for GISBv7 arbiter
Date
This patch set contains changes to enable the GISB arbiter driver
on the latest ARM64 architecture Set-Top Box chips from Broadcom.

Since the ARM64 architecture does not support the hooking of low
level fault handlers the driver has been adjusted to depend solely
on GISB interrupts and notify events to provide diagnostic
messaging. The GISB hardware still triggers bus faults for the
processor so the default low-level aborts will occur and will be
handled based on the architecture specific kernel implementation.

While this tends to obsure the GISB error messaging it is still
reasonable so the same approach is applied to the ARM architecture
for consistency.

The patches also correct some issues with the existing driver
and add the new register map for the GISBv7 hardware first
appearing in the BCM7278 device.

Changes since v2 at [2]:
- Removed code associated with enabling the hooking of ARM64
memory faults as well as the code that hooks them for both
ARM and ARM64 architectures within the GISB arbiter driver.
- Created separate notifiers for die and panic events to
prevent list corruption, and substituted the notifier return
name for the previous magic number (Thanks Mark!)

Changes since v1 at [1]:
- Removed code associated with hooking SError handling in favor
of a registered notifier (Thanks Mark!)
- Removed an unnecessary explicit cast (Thanks Gregory!)
