MMIO, for GICD and GICR. It's about fixing the ranges of the /soc node:

My proposed
ranges = <0x98000000 0x98000000 0x68000000>;
needs to be split, with a gap between r-bus and GIC for continued RAM.

This goes back to Rob's review of RTD1295 [1], where we then for lack of
memory space documentation assumed that everything beyond 2 GiB would be
potential register space. Here we're dealing with up to 4 GiB though.


James, are you planning to send a fix-up patch here? If not, you'll need
to tell me what values to use, e.g., is there a NOR flash region on
RTD1619, and does RAM continue also in between and after GIC, or is
there some timer register behind it, like on RTD1195?

ranges = <0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00030000>, // ??? boot ROM size
         <0x98000000 0x98000000 0x00200000>, // r-bus
         // anything here? e.g., NOR flash?
         <0xff100000 0xff100000 0x00010000>, // GICD
         <0xff140000 0xff140000 0x000c0000>; // GICR
         // anything here? e.g., timer enable?

ranges = <0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00030000>,
         <0x98000000 0x98000000 0x00200000>,
         <0xff100000 0xff100000 0x00100000>; // whole GIC?

Andreas
