+T-HEAD Fdt Reset Driver Introduction +------------------------------------ + +Every T-HEAD CPU provides a reset control signal and reset address signals. + - Reset address signal determines CPU where to start up. + - Reset control signal releases CPU from reset state and begins to execute + at reset address. + +Many vendors would gather these signals into SoC control registers. These +register designs are similar but with different base addresses and bits +definitions. We only provide standard opensbi, Linux binaries, and jtag gdbinit +script to simplify Linux booting at the FPGA stage. The fdt reset driver helps +users bring up their SMP system quickly with the below settings:+DT maintainers and DT list. I can submit a dt-binding for this if DT maintainers agree with below properties. Could you please help review?I already reviewed this once & nothing has improved. In fact, things have gotten worse IMO with this "using-csr-reset" that I don't think existed in the original iteration that I saw. I did see things getting better with the use of standard stuff like "reg" in our earlier discussion which I don't see here.quoted
It's not a patch to improve the implementation and we don't make a deal in that discussion. This patch improves the document because the previous doc didn't describe the whole thing about the thead,reset-sample driver.That's all well and good, but there's still no point in Rob, Krzysztof or I reviewing it, which is what was being requested in the email I was replying to.
We aim not to deliver any custom software binaries to our CPU customers. Only generic opensbi & Linux images are all enough at the prototype stage.

What is the point in carrying out any further review if things will be flat out ignored?
