Hi!
first time poster, long time lurker here. Over at Project EVE https://github.com/lf-edge/eve I've been trying to migrate from our current u-boot v2020.07 + patches:
https://github.com/lf-edge/eve/tree/master/pkg/u-boot/patches/patches-v2020.... to the latest u-boot 2021.04.
Great news is that most of the patches we dependent on seem to have been pulled upstream. However, this single *chunk* of one patchset wasn't:
https://github.com/lf-edge/eve/blob/master/pkg/u-boot/patches/patches-v2020....
I'm wondering what was the reason for leaving it behind, since without it I don't seem to have functioning USB devices on my Raspberry Pi 4. In fact, adding it back:
https://github.com/rvs/eve/tree/u-boot/pkg/u-boot/patches/patches-v2021.04 (just that one chunk -- 'cuz the reset got upstreamed) seems to solve the issue for me.
Another question I have is that the new u-boot seems to have some kind of a regression that I can't quite debug. The SMBIOS tables that it constructs during EFI boot sequence seem to be broken (see the dmidecode output below). Again, this seems to be a regression compared to v2020.07. Any ideas on what could be wrong or how can I start debugging it would be greatly appreciated (in fact I actually added printf's to write_smbios_table() to see if there's any micalculation going on -- but no -- it seems that all method->write() methods there work as expected and their cumulative output adds up to 209 bytes -- but only 128 are present)
Thanks, Roman.
