Add fsl,erratum-a011043 to internal MDIO buses.
Software may get false read error when reading internal
PCS registers through MDIO. As a workaround, all internal
MDIO accesses should ignore the MDIO_CFG[MDIO_RD_ER] bit.

<title>libfdt: define INT32_MAX and UINT32_MAX in libfdt_env.h</title>

<id>a8de1304b7df30e3a14f2a8b9709bb4ff31a0385</id>
<content type='text'>
The DTC v1.5.1 added references to (U)INT32_MAX.

This is no problem for user-space programs since &lt;stdint.h&gt; defines
(U)INT32_MAX along with (u)int32_t.

For the kernel space, libfdt_env.h needs to be adjusted before we
pull in the changes.

In the kernel, we usually use s/u32 instead of (u)int32_t for the
fixed-width types.

Accordingly, we already have S/U32_MAX for their max values.
So, we should not add (U)INT32_MAX to &lt;linux/limits.h&gt; any more.

Instead, add them to the in-kernel libfdt_env.h to compile the
latest libfdt.

Change all phy-connection-type properties to phy-mode that are better
supported by the fman driver.

Use the more readable fixed-link node for the 2 sgmii links.

Change the RGMII link to rgmii-id as the clock delays are added by the
phy.

Commit 40df759e2b9e ("kbuild: Fix build with binutils &lt;= 2.19")
introduced ar-option and KBUILD_ARFLAGS to deal with old binutils.

According to Documentation/process/changes.rst, the current minimal
supported version of binutils is 2.21 so you can assume the 'D' option
is always supported. Not only GNU ar but also llvm-ar supports it.

With the 'D' option hard-coded, there is no more user of ar-option
or KBUILD_ARFLAGS.

<title>powerpc: Add support for adding an ESM blob to the zImage wrapper</title>

For secure VMs, the signing tool will create a ticket called the "ESM blob"
for the Enter Secure Mode ultravisor call with the signatures of the kernel
and initrd among other things.

This adds support to the wrapper script for adding that blob via the "-e"
option to the zImage.pseries.

It also adds code to the zImage wrapper itself to retrieve and if necessary
relocate the blob, and pass its address to Linux via the device-tree, to be
later consumed by prom_init.

 "Notable changes:

   - Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver,
     as well as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't
     (yet?) made it upstream.

   - A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf
     record -e mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and
     kernel crashes.

   - Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for
     vmalloc when using the Radix MMU.

   - A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to
     use gas macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.

  And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.

Commit 5e9dcb6188a4 ("powerpc/boot: Expose Kconfig symbols to wrapper")
was wrong, but commit e41b93a6be57 ("powerpc/boot: Fix build failures
with -j 1") was also wrong.

The correct dependency is:

  $(obj)/serial.o: $(obj)/autoconf.h

However, I do not see the reason why we need to copy autoconf.h to
arch/power/boot/. Nor do I see consistency in the way of passing
CONFIG options.

decompress.c references CONFIG_KERNEL_GZIP and CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ, which
are passed via the command line.

serial.c includes autoconf.h to reference a couple of CONFIG options,
but this is fragile because we often forget to include "autoconf.h"
from source files.

In fact, it is already broken.

ppc_asm.h references CONFIG_PPC_8xx, but utils.S is not given any way
to access CONFIG options. So, CONFIG_PPC_8xx is never defined here.

Pass $(LINUXINCLUDE) to make sure CONFIG options are accessible from
all .c and .S files in arch/powerpc/boot/.

I also removed the -traditional flag to make include/linux/kconfig.h
work. This flag makes the preprocessor imitate the behavior of the
pre-standard C compiler, but I do not understand why it is necessary.

<title>powerpc/boot: add {get, put}_unaligned_be32 to xz_config.h</title>

The next commit will make the way of passing CONFIG options more robust.
Unfortunately, it would uncover another hidden issue; without this
commit, skiroot_defconfig would be broken like this:

|   WRAP    arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.pseries
| arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper.a(decompress.o): In function `bcj_powerpc.isra.10':
| decompress.c:(.text+0x720): undefined reference to `get_unaligned_be32'
| decompress.c:(.text+0x7a8): undefined reference to `put_unaligned_be32'
| make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile;383: arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.pseries] Error 1
| make: *** [arch/powerpc/Makefile;295: zImage] Error 2

skiroot_defconfig is the only defconfig that enables CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ
for ppc, which has never been correctly built before.

I figured out the root cause in lib/decompress_unxz.c:

| #ifdef CONFIG_PPC
| #      define XZ_DEC_POWERPC
| #endif

CONFIG_PPC is undefined here in the ppc bootwrapper because autoconf.h
is not included except by arch/powerpc/boot/serial.c

XZ_DEC_POWERPC is not defined, therefore, bcj_powerpc() is not compiled
for the bootwrapper.

With the next commit passing CONFIG_PPC correctly, we would realize that
{get,put}_unaligned_be32 was missing.

Unlike the other decompressors, the ppc bootwrapper duplicates all the
necessary helpers in arch/powerpc/boot/.

The other architectures define __KERNEL__ and pull in helpers for
building the decompressors.

If ppc bootwrapper had defined __KERNEL__, lib/xz/xz_private.h would
have included &lt;asm/unaligned.h&gt;:

| #ifdef __KERNEL__
| #       include &lt;linux/xz.h&gt;
| #       include &lt;linux/kernel.h&gt;
| #       include &lt;asm/unaligned.h&gt;

However, doing so would cause tons of definition conflicts since the
bootwrapper has duplicated everything.

I just added copies of {get,put}_unaligned_be32, following the
bootwrapper coding convention.
