[PATCH 0/4] Bootcount driver using NVMEM cell as backend.
From: Nandor Han
Date: Tue Apr 27 2021 - 04:26:56 EST
Description
-----------
Implement a bootcount (1) related driver that uses
NVMEM as a backend. The patchset will also update the
`snvs_lpgpr` driver to support 2 bytes NVMEM cells.
1. https://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
Testing
-------
Hardware: i.MX6sx evaluation board
Kernel: linux-imx-5.4.24
1. Configure the bootcount hardware in DT to use a NVMEM cell provided
by `snvs_lpgpr` driver as backend.
e.g. This will configure a 4 bytes long NVMEM cell
```
bootcount_regs: bootcount-snvs-regs@0 {
reg = <0x0 0x04>;
};
```
2. Record the current NVMEM cell content:
```
~ # hexdump -C
/sys/devices/soc0/soc/2000000.aips-bus/20cc000.snvs/20cc000.snvs:snvs-lpgpr/20cc000.snvs:snvs-lpgpr0/nvmem
00000000 00 00 01 b0 |....|
00000004
```
3. Write the bootcount and check that is successful: PASS
```
~ # echo 1 > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/bootcount-nvmem/bootcount/value
bootcount: Write regval: 0xb0010001
~ # hexdump -C
/sys/devices/soc0/soc/2000000.aips-bus/20cc000.snvs/20cc000.snvs:snvs-lpgpr/20cc000.snvs:snvs-lpgpr0/nvmem
00000000 01 00 01 b0 |....|
00000004
```
Note: similar tests were done also for 2 bytes NVMEM cell size.
Kernel: linux-next, tag: next-20210322
1. Enable bootcount and snvs_lpgpr drivers
2. Verify that they compile succesfully: PASS
```
