SoC vendors have different types of resets and are controlled through
various registers. For instance, Qualcomm chipsets can reboot to a
"download mode" that allows a RAM dump to be collected. Another example
is they also support writing a cookie that can be read by bootloader
during next boot. PSCI offers a mechanism, SYSTEM_RESET2, for these
vendor reset types to be implemented without requiring drivers for every
register/cookie.
Add support in PSCI to statically map reboot mode commands from
userspace to a vendor reset and cookie value using the device tree.
A separate initcall is needed to parse the devicetree, instead of using
psci_dt_init because mm isn't sufficiently set up to allocate memory.
Reboot mode framework is close but doesn't quite fit with the
design and requirements for PSCI SYSTEM_RESET2. Some of these issues can
be solved but doesn't seem reasonable in sum:
1. reboot mode registers against the reboot_notifier_list, which is too
early to call SYSTEM_RESET2. PSCI would need to remember the reset
type from the reboot-mode framework callback and use it
psci_sys_reset.
2. reboot mode assumes only one cookie/parameter is described in the
device tree. SYSTEM_RESET2 uses 2: one for the type and one for
cookie.
3. psci cpuidle driver already registers a driver against the
arm,psci-1.0 compatible. Refactoring would be needed to have both a
cpuidle and reboot-mode driver.
