Bring in required device tree files for ls2085a from Linux. These are initially unchanged and have a number of pieces not needed
by U-Boot.
Hi Simon,
I got below comment when review this patch internal. Please help me confirm.
"For new platforms like ARM64, it was discussed to not duplicate the DTS in u-boot and Linux, simply because that will break compatibility with other bootloaders like Linaro's BootMonitor and UEFI bootloader, which do not place the DTS in the bootloader. Also in near future, with DTS being replaced by ACPI gradually for ARM64 platforms, it was discussed that in a longer run it would be beneficial to move DTS out of both u-boot and Linux and maintain it as a separate tree."
I think UEFI + ACPI is only required for ARMv8 servers, not for all ARMv8 processors. Is ls2085a a processor targeting the server market?
No, at least it's not our major market. I want to know whether we have made a conclusion that u-boot will not add Arm64 dts files?
Adding Russell and Mark for their thoughts.
AFAIK there were discussions to generate common DTS files for PPC and ARM platforms, where it was discussed that in a longer run it would be beneficial to move DTS out of both u-boot and Linux and maintain it as a separate tree.
