Yes, bumping CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN from 0x1800 to 0x1a90 solves the issue. Alternatively, removing DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC in tegra_gpio.c or tegra186_gpio.c (depending on board/SoC) also solves this.
I suppose the correct solution is to remove the DM flag from the driver, since if it never used to work before your patches, it's clear that the flag/feature is not actually required.
Thank you Stephen. I will prepare a patch to update the tegra*_gpio driver.
Thanks Bin,
Ah, it turns out so many drivers/dts are mis-written ...
For example, the driver has the DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag, and the dts file also has "u-boot,dm-pre-reloc". The "u-boot,dm-pre-reloc" must have been added to workaround the DM bug (fixed in patch 1 & 2 mentioned in this thread). But now since the DM bug has been fixed, these "u-boot,dm-pre-reloc" properties are really unnecessary but I am afraid I don't have the knowledge to clean up all of these.
Of course, I've identified some additional drivers that have DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag set but dts file doesn't have "u-boot,dm-pre-reloc". These drivers should be updated to remove the DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag like the Tegra GPIO drivers.
I don't see any cases where u-boot,dm-pre-reloc exists in DT for the Tegra GPIO driver specifically, so I think a simple patch removing the DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag from the two Tegra GPIO drivers would be fine. Of course, I didn't look at any non-Tegra DTs, or at drivers other than Tegra GPIO.
OK.
I tend to agree that it is getting a bit late. I am considering delaying this pull request until the next merge window. I still have regmap and virtio to bring in. Tom, what do you think?
Start the PR over and look for things it really makes sense to grab at -rc2 (bugfixes, Kconfig migrations, etc) is what I think we need to do at this point, thanks!
Just to follow up, I really don't see anything that fits that category.
Bin, are any of your patches necessary for this release to actually fix boards?
Regards, Simon
