very nice :-)

If this has a 24KEc, does it make sense to use:
# require CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R2=y
like ni169445 and xilfpga do. There doesn't seem to be any point
enabling support in 32r6 generic kernels for example.

Similarly if the platform is little endian only, you could also add:
# require CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN=y

Hmm, can this break any other generic platforms that already make the
DTB command line override the arcs_cmdline? Paul?

I.e. In arch_mem_init() the condition of copying arcs_cmdline to
boot_command_line would switch from !boot_command_line[0] to
arcs_cmdline[0]. I suppose arcs_cmdline[] may not have been written in
those cases. If its safe then it should probably be a standard thing
selected by MIPS_GENERIC instead of a board specific thing.

Perhaps its worth adding this to the base generic_defconfig if its
useful to have.

> +CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ_DEFAULT_ENABLE=0x1

That is already the default, though I wonder if we should set it to 0
for safety, which still retains the functionality, but just may require
writing to /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq or passing sysrq_always_enabled as a
kernel parameter to use sysrq from keyboard / uart.

broken indentation. Tab please.

MIPS_GENERIC already selects DMA_PERFDEV_COHERENT, which should already
treat devices as non-coherent unless they have the dma-coherent DT
property.

Isn't that an address in the user segment, i.e. TLB mapped virtual
memory? Does the bootloader set up a wired mapping for it or something?

The address looks similar to UART_UART which is given to ioremap so must
be a physical address. Perhaps the mapping you're using is 1:1
virtual:physical address?

If its using a TLB mapping, then:
1) That isn't safe this early to run on other platforms, as it'll give a
TLB refill exception. It should be quite possible to detect such a
mapping to make it safer though.
2) If yamon initialises the TLB to a known state, then that may well be
a hacky but workable way to distinguish yamon (sead3) from redboot
(mscc) in future.

Is it too late to change this to use the generic mips_hpt_frequency
calculation in plat_time_init()? The DT would have to provide e.g. a
fixed-clock and link to it from the CPU node.

See arch/mips/boot/dts/ni/169445.dts for an example of how it could
look.

That would allow you to eliminate this machine callback altogether, as
well as being more flexible if you ever needed the frequency to be
calculated more dynamically based on platform registers.

Thanks!
