Excerpts from Joel Stanley's message of May 19, 2022 10:57 pm:quoted
In commit 5402e239d09f ("powerpc/64s: Get LPID bit width from device tree") the kernel tried to determine the pid and lpid bits from the device tree. If they are not found, there is a fallback, but Microwatt wasn't covered as has the unusual configuration of being both !HV and bare metal. Set the values in the device tree to avoid having to add a special case. The lpid value is the only one required, but add both for completeness. Fixes: 5402e239d09f ("powerpc/64s: Get LPID bit width from device tree") Signed-off-by: Joel Stanley <joel@jms.id.au>LGTM... does Microwatt actually need 12 lpid bits, or does it just need the LPID 0 partition table entry?
Microwatt just assumes LPID=0 as it doesn't actually have an LPID SPR. It just uses the first entry in the partition table. There are some details here: https://github.com/antonblanchard/microwatt/commit/18120f153d138f733fa7e8a89c3456bb93683f96
I wonder if you set it to 1. That's a minor nit though.
.. or even set it to 0. Mikey
