No, the soc_id is not provided by the bootloader, or at least I couldn't identify any related implementation. Instead, I provided this via the driver itself, since I've encountered this approach in some other soc drivers as well (e.g. imx/soc-imx.c, versatile/soc-integrator.c).

If this is just a convention of some downstream U-Boot that's not implemented in mainline (and maybe not even for Guitar or Labrador? tested on RoseapplePi only), it might not be worth its own reserved-memory based kernel driver? Implementing a standard interface such as DMI tables or a DT property in mainline U-Boot may be more useful then. Is it still Mani's S900 only? Regards, Andreas

The serial number is actually provided by the s500-bootloader for which Actions did not provide the source code, at least it is not available in the xapp github repo. I did not find anything related to this in downstream U-Boot.

Maybe, Matheus can verify it on Labrador? I don't think adding a SOCINFO driver for a single board is a good idea.

But > can we get consensus that this is common for all S500 SoCs? This should work on all S500 SoCs, as the downstream Linux kernel doesn't use any conditional logic around reading those memory locations. Please see "owl_check_revision()" in arch/arm/mach-owl/board-owl.c, from any of the following repos: * https://github.com/xapp-le/kernel * https://github.com/LeMaker/linux-actions > Maybe, > Matheus can verify it on Labrador? The verification is pretty straightforward: the serial number is dumped on the serial console by the s500 bootloader right before starting U-boot: load uboot: load address is 0x8000000, entry point is 0x8000040 in fourth chip serial no = 9d,4b,f,6d,31,46,e,8, [...] U-Boot 2015.04 (Apr 23 2020 - 23:01:25)Actions-Semi The socinfo driver should provide the equivalent information, but in reversed order (due to integer representation on LE arch): $ cat /sys/devices/soc0/serial_number 080e46316d0f4b9d > I don't think adding a SOCINFO driver for a single board is a good idea. The driver could be used for all Owl SoC variants, including S700 and S900, even though accessing the serial number is currently supported only on S500. Unfortunately I do only have this S500 SoC based SBC to experiment with, therefore I cannot enable new features for the hardware I'm not able to validate. Btw, do you know where I could get an S700 or S900 board from? I couldn't find any so far..

This patchset adds a socinfo driver which provides information about Actions Semi Owl SoCs to user space via sysfs: machine, family, soc_id, serial_number. Please note the serial number is currently available only for the S500 SoC variant. This has been tested on the S500 SoC based RoseapplePi SBC. Thanks, Cristi Changes in v2: - Exposed the memory range for reading the SoC serial number under /reserved-memory DT node, according to Rob's review; as a consequence added a new binding document (actions,owl-soc-serial.yaml) and updated owl-socinfo.yaml - Replaced the unportable usage of system_serial_{low,high} globals with a public API to provide external access to SoC serial number parts (e.g. Owl Ethernet MAC driver will use this to generate a stable MAC address) - Rebased patch series on v5.12-rc5 Cristian Ciocaltea (6): dt-bindings: reserved-memory: Add Owl SoC serial number binding dt-bindings: soc: actions: Add Actions Semi Owl socinfo binding soc: actions: Add Actions Semi Owl socinfo driver arm: dts: owl-s500: Add reserved-memory range for Owl SoC serial number arm: dts: owl-s500: Add socinfo support MAINTAINERS: Add entries for Owl reserved-memory and socinfo bindings .../actions,owl-soc-serial.yaml | 53 ++++++ .../bindings/soc/actions/owl-socinfo.yaml | 57 +++++++ MAINTAINERS | 2 + arch/arm/boot/dts/owl-s500.dtsi | 13 +- drivers/soc/actions/Kconfig | 8 + drivers/soc/actions/Makefile | 1 + drivers/soc/actions/owl-socinfo.c | 152 ++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/soc/actions/owl-serial-number.h | 20 +++ 8 files changed, 305 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/actions,owl-soc-serial.yaml create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/actions/owl-socinfo.yaml create mode 100644 drivers/soc/actions/owl-socinfo.c create mode 100644 include/linux/soc/actions/owl-serial-number.h
