This patch converts the Qualcomm SCM driver to use the streaming DMA APIs
for communication buffers.

Signed-off-by: Andy Gross <redacted>
This patch has landed in linux-next in the form of commit a551c3dbd689
(firmware: qcom: scm: Convert to streaming DMA APIS), and kernelci.org
found some boot breakage in next-20160523 on apq8064[1] which was
bisected down to this commit.

I reverted this commit on top of next-20160523 and it no longer
builds, so I didn't validate if things boot again with this patch
reverted.
Ouch I missed this failure.  I'll investigate and get it fixed.
So the root cause was the fact that the DFAB clock required by the SCM is an RPM
clock.  That support isn't present yet in the kernel, so SCM probe fails.

The core clock is really only accessed so that we can bump the clock on it up to
the max for performance.  As such, I'll make it optional in the platform code.

This does bring up the issue of probe defer causing issues with the spm driver,
as it calls set_warm_boot_addr.  That may have to be addressed, but is probably
a problem best fixed in the spm.
Nice, thanks for the explanation.

Is there a patch somewhere you'd like me to test? or were you able to
dust off an 8064 platform for testing?
I had the ifc6410, but it took me a while to find the darn 5V supply.
The docs lie when they say 5V-12V.  In any case, I threw a patch on
top of next to fix this.  I need to amend my set of patches to include
these changes and add the DT information for the 8064.

Regards,

Andy
