In the BSP U-Boot headers.

This should be mentionned in your commit log then.

P.S. the 0x200 offset is not in the header, but as a proven experience
on new generation SID controllers.

Yes, however the secure is broken again, and this only
happen if Secure Boot bit is burned.

Is broken again, meaning?

As far as I know, the only breakage we've had is on the A80 / A83T,
but we don't have anything like it on the A64, do we?

A80/A83T is not the *only* breakage, but the *most serious* breakage,
which affected correctly using SMP in non-secure.

Newer Allwinner SoCs doesn't have the GIC broken, but the TZPC still
doesn't work when not Secure Boot, which means that all peripherals
set to secure-only can still be accessed. Affected SoCs are at least
H3, H5, A64.

It seems that the registers marked as secure-only inside PRCM still
works -- however this still has no meaningful secure/non-secure
seperation, as the secure setting register in PRCM is not
secure-only at least on SoCs without SB enabled.


If it's really burned, we will have no clean way to access SID.

Well, in such a case we shouldn't access it either, so..

We will need the THS calibration data.

Maybe a custom call to ATF can be created, but I consider it dirty.
