[PATCH v4] remoteproc: qcom_q6v5_mss: support loading MBN file on msm8974
Posted by Dmitry Baryshkov 7 months ago 
From: Dmitry Baryshkov <dmitry.baryshkov@linaro.org>

On MSM8974 / APQ8074, MSM8226 and MSM8926 the MSS requires loading raw
MBA image instead of the ELF file. Skip the ELF headers if mba.mbn was
specified as the firmware image.

Fixes: a5a4e02d083d ("remoteproc: qcom: Add support for parsing fw dt bindings")

Changes in v4:
- Expanded to cover MSM8226 and MSM8926.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250706-msm8974-fix-mss-v3-1-8b5ae61c86a9@oss.qualcomm.com

Changes in v3:
- Reverted back to the simple patch from v1
- Added define for 0x1000 (Konrad)
- Added MBA firmware size check
- Corrected the Fixes tag to point to the commit adding firmware-name
  support
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230508153524.2371795-1-dmitry.baryshkov@linaro.org

Changes in v2:
- Replace fixed offset 0x1000 with the value obtained from ELF headers
- Implement ELF validity checks
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230507172041.2320279-1-dmitry.baryshkov@linaro.org

Appears to work on my msm8974pro-fairphone-fp2!

Tested-by: Luca Weiss <luca@lucaweiss.eu> # msm8974pro-fairphone-fp2

[  175.530764] remoteproc remoteproc1: powering up fc880000.remoteproc
[  175.544439] remoteproc remoteproc1: Booting fw image mba.mbn, size 299792
[  177.707706] qcom-q6v5-mss fc880000.remoteproc: MBA booted without 
debug policy, loading mpss
[  180.375633] remoteproc remoteproc1: remote processor 
fc880000.remoteproc is now up
[  180.841751] wwan wwan0: port wwan0at0 attached
[  180.846972] wwan wwan0: port wwan0at1 attached
[  181.004199] wwan wwan0: port wwan0qmi0 attached
(this is with 'firmware-name = "mba.mbn", "modem.mbn";')

I can also test on other MSM8974 devices and MSM8926 if you think that's 
useful.

Luca
