[PATCH 1/2] firmware: stratix10-svc: Return -EOPNOTSUPP when ATF async unsupported

From: Muhammad Amirul Asyraf Mohamad Jamian

Date: Thu Apr 16 2026 - 03:26:06 EST


Add a 'supported' flag to struct stratix10_async_ctrl to indicate
whether the secure firmware supports SIP SVC v3 asynchronous
communication. When the ATF version check in stratix10_svc_async_init()
fails, set supported=false and return -EOPNOTSUPP instead of -EINVAL.

This allows callers to distinguish between "async not supported by this
ATF version" (-EOPNOTSUPP) and "programming error / bad argument"
(-EINVAL), and take appropriate action (e.g. fall back to synchronous
V1 SMC path) rather than treating both as fatal.

Also update stratix10_svc_add_async_client() to return -EOPNOTSUPP
immediately when async is not supported, rather than -EINVAL from the
!actrl->initialized check, so client drivers receive a consistent and
meaningful error code.

This patch is a prerequisite for the following fix and must be applied
together with it to correctly restore functionality on old ATF versions.
