[PATCH v2 1/4] firmware: xilinx: Add support to clear TF-A PM state

From: Jay Buddhabhatti

Date: Fri Jul 24 2026 - 06:07:45 EST


Currently, during a kexec restart, only the kernel is reloaded, while the
TF-A specific data remain unchanged. This leads to a mismatch between the
kernel state and the TF-A firmware state like SGI number and shutdown
scope variable.

For example, the kernel registers an SGI number with TF-A so that TF-A can
notify the kernel of events via that SGI. TF-A stores this SGI number in
its internal state. After a kexec, the newly loaded kernel re-registers
and may request a different SGI number, but the stale value programmed in
TF-A remains, so event notifications are delivered on the old SGI and are
missed by the new kernel. The shutdown scope variable has a similar stale
state problem.

To resolve this, the TF_A_CLEAR_PM_STATE PM API is introduced to clear
TF-A-specific state during kexec. On a graceful reboot, this API is
triggered by zynqmp_firmware_shutdown(), while in a crash kernel scenario,
it is invoked by zynqmp_firmware_probe() in the reloaded kernel.
