FBC image is having 2 image combine: SBL image + AMSS image.
1. FBC image download using legacy image format:
- SBL image: 512KB of FBC image is downloaded using BHI.
- AMSS image: full FBC image is downloaded using BHIe.
2. FBC image download using TME supported image format:
- SBL image: 512 KB of FBC image is downloaded using BHI.
- AMSS image: 512 KB onward FBC image is downloaded using BHIe.
There is no change for SBL image download. Although AMSS image start
address is end address of SBL image while using TME supported image
format.
I know what TME is, but in the context of this patch, it doesn't seem
like relevant information. "tme" is just a name for this mode, but it
is not very descriptive. Also, I suspect that this mode is not
intrinsically related to the TME hardware on the endpoint, it just
happens to be used on targets where TME is present.
Is there something else we can call this?
Hi Jeff, sorry, previous reply contains HTML content, not sure if you
have got my reply. So reply again.
How about below commit message?
Currently, the FBC image is non-standard ELF file which contains one ELF
header followed by segments for SBL/RDDM and AMSS. To support TME-L,we
need to have separate ELF header for SBL/RDDM and AMSS due to limitation
of TME-L.
I don't think mentioning TME-L has any value. The host doesn't interact
with TME-L nor has any way to directly detect if TME-L is present.
I would suggest making this more generic - some devices (for example
XXX) are unable to handle the non-standard ELF format of the FBC image
and thus need special handling of the FBC image.
Add standard_elf_image flag which makes decision in terms of how FBC
image based
AMSS image is being downloaded with connected endpoint.
FBC image is having two image combine: SBL image + AMSS image.
1. FBC image download using legacy single ELF header image format:
- SBL image: 512KB of FBC image is downloaded using BHI.
- AMSS image: full FBC image is downloaded using BHIe.
2. FBC image download using separate ELF header image format:
- SBL image: 512 KB of FBC image is downloaded using BHI.
- AMSS image: 512 KB onward FBC image is downloaded using BHIe.
There is no change for SBL image download. Although AMSS image start
address is end address of SBL image while using separate ELF header format.
I wonder if it makes more sense to split the FBC image into two images
for these devices. One SBL image, and one AMSS image. Feels like we
would just need to detect if there is a separate AMSS image, and use
that for BHIe. Then we don't need to go manipulating the image (which I
feel might be fragile).
Mani, do you have thoughts on this?
Thank you for your time and patience.

This doesn't make sense. This patch is from you, which makes you the
author. But Mayank's SOB is listed first, which means he is the
author. Those two facts conflict.
Did Mayank author this and you are just submitting it on his behalf,
or did the two of you co-author this?
In downstream, Mayank made this change and I modified it for upstream.
Will it be accepted if I write the SOBs as following? I see this example
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?h=v6.5-rc2&id=7450aa5153af55a0c63785a6917e35a989a4fdf5

This would be good. However it doesn't fully address my concern.
I hope you are using patch files and git send-email. Before you send
the patch file, please open it in your favorite editor and look at the
second line. It should start with "From:". Right now, I suspect it
looks like:
From: Qiang Yu <quic_qianyu@xxxxxxxxxxx>
However, based on what you described, it should look like:
From: Mayank Rana <quic_mrana@xxxxxxxxxxx>
The From: line tells us who originally authored the change (lets ignore
changes with multiple authors for this discussion) and must match the
first SOB listed. Since Mayank authored the change and is the first SOB
listed, the patch should be "from" him.

A bool in the middle of several pointers? Surely that makes the
pahole output rather sad? A lot of work went into the organization of
this structure.
Can I add the flag under bool wake_set, and change the flag name to
standard_elf_image?

This seems good to me. Remember to adjust your addition to the
structure description comment when you do this.
Thanks again and looking forward to your further review.
