Rockchip BROM write a boot source id at CFG_IRAM_BASE + 0x10, the id indicate from what storage media TPL/SPL was loaded from.
SPL use this value to determine what device "same-as-spl" represent when determining from where FIT should be loaded. This works as long as the boot_devices array contain a matching id <-> node path entry.
However, SPL typically load a small part of TF-A into SRAM and on RK3399 this overwrites the CFG_IRAM_BASE + 0x10 addr used for boot source id.
Here boot source id is 3 before FIT images is loaded, and 0 after:

Use a static bootdevice_brom_id to cache the boot source id after an initial read from SRAM to fix this, this allow spl_perform_fixups() to resolve correct boot source path for "same-as-spl" after SPL have loaded TF-A related FIT images into memory.
With this the spl-boot-device prop can correctly be resolved to the SPI flash node in the control FDT:
=> fdt addr ${fdtcontroladdr} Working FDT set to f1ee6710 => fdt list /chosen chosen { u-boot,spl-boot-device = "/spi@ff1d0000/flash@0"; stdout-path = "serial2:1500000n8"; u-boot,spl-boot-order = "same-as-spl", "/mmc@fe330000", "/mmc@fe320000"; };
I'm perplexed. We make use of this spl-boot-device DT property on Puma (RK3399) and Ringneck (PX30) and I am pretty sure I tested it does what it's supposed to do. So that is a bit surprising this seems to not work anymore. Is this related to the BSS/stack memory address location changes you made recently by any chance? Or did I manage to be very lucky for a very long time for our boards?

for Puma when booting from SD card... I don't see board_spl_was_booted_from being called a second time after BL31 is loaded?
mmmmmmm
Very interestingly, when booting from SPI-NOR flash:

but the DT is properly written...
Ahah! This is because of one of my commits where I added support for SPI-NOR flashes to spl_perform_fixups. So I think this worked for me because the SPI-NOR flash is explicitly listed in spl-boot-order for Puma, so when same-as-spl fails to resolve, the device is still found in spl-boot-order DT property which means spl_perform_fixup will still be able to write that spl-boot-device DT property. So basically, the issue is related to SPI-NOR flash NOT being explicitly listed in spl-boot-order or/and that the order isn't actually respected because same-as-spl is basically skipped right now (but it works for Puma because the next medium in the list is SPI, so skipping same-as-spl for SPI, would result in checking SPI again :) ).
This was a very nice read, thanks for writing it down in detail! :)
Can you please add:
Fixes: d57e16c7e712 ("rockchip: find U-boot proper boot device by inverting the logic that sets it")
to the commit log regardless of the implementation we'll go for?

I don't think we absolutely need the second if block, as this would be handled by the else part of the if block that isn't shown in this git context.
Having a separate if + debug() message would be fine if we opt for the "runtime canary test" approach I suggested a bit earlier. If we opt for a different approach, I agree that a separate if + debug() would be pretty much redundant.
Also, I would suggest to add a new entry to the BROM_BOOTSOURCE_* enum, e.g. BROM_BOOTSOURCE_INVALID/UNKNOWN = 0 so it's a bit more explicit and we're also "ready" for the day Rockchip decides to use 0 as a valid BROM boot source so we know all the places we need to modify the logic.
Moreover, I join Dragan over the use of a "valid" value for deciding to read from the RAM... but for another reason. If it actually is 0 for some reason, we would re-read from that address in RAM until we get something different from 0... which may happen to be written with something else than 0 when loading that small part of TF-A into SRAM? So we would then have something completely unexpected as boot source now.
Good point. I didn't have that in mind, but using a totally invalid value to determine uninitialized state is pretty much always a good approach that may also prevent unforeseen issues.
