- Add a link to the original bch.c source file

Generating raw NAND images is particularly useful for boot0 images
creation since the mainline driver is not supporting the funky layout
used by Allwinner's ROM code to load the boot0 binary from NAND.

This tools also allows one to generate raw images for 'normal' partitions
so that they can be flashed before soldering on the NAND on the board
(using a regular NAND programmer).

The tool takes care of generating ECC bytes and randomizing data as
expected by the NAND controller, and re-arranging the ECC/data sections
correctly.

fel-sdboot: Fix header corruption workaround

Now that we have a better understanding of what's causing the issue
that prevented entering FEL sometimes, we can adjust the workaround
code to a proper solution, i.e. skip over the problematic location.

Since the code amounts to less than a dozen ARM instructions, I've
decided to rewrite it as assembly code - fel-sdboot.S replaces the
former fel-sdboot.c.

The commit also includes a new binary (bin/fel-sdboot.sunxi) with
these changes.

This commit adds a new "reset64 <addr>" command "rmr32" that could
be helpful with new 64-bit SoCs. It takes an entry point (address)
parameter, stores it via RVBAR and then issues a RMR write to
request a warm boot into AArch64 mode.

For now, this is useful with the boot process of A64, where we might
wish to transfer control to a 64-bit binary (for ATF or U-Boot).

Both the error output in function decompile_section() and the
definition of GPIO_BANK_MAX in script.h suffered from an "off
by one" logic. The bank numbering in the .bin is based on 1,
so it should be added to ('A' - 1) for human-readable output,
and the maximum number corresponding to 'N' is 14.

a80_optimus_board.bin back to its original .fex equivalent.

fel: Add fel spl command support for Allwinner A64
Acked-by: Bernhard Nortmann <bernhard.nortmann@web.de>

The SCTLR bits are somewhat different because the V bit is set
to 0 on A64 (Low exception vectors, base address 0x00000000) and
the UNK bit (Reads of this bit return an UNKNOWN value) is also not
the same as on the other SoCs. So the SCTLR check can be relaxed.

Changes in v2:
 - Because the SRAM A and SRAM C reside back-to-back in the address
   space, it is possible to use 40 KiB of SRAM by the SPL for its
   code+data+stack. So the FEL backup storage is moved from 0x18000
   to 0x1A000 to support this.

This small bootable stub, which just passes control to the
FEL code in the BROM, needs to be adjusted to also support
Allwinner A64 and Allwinner A80 because the BROM is located
at a different address there.

The SD card boot has a very low priority on Allwinner A64, but
it at least has a higher priority than the SPI NOR Flash:

    https://linux-sunxi.org/BROM#A64



So this patch may help to simplify the FEL mode activation on
devices, which are booting their firmware from the SPI NOR Flash.

Changes in v2:
 - Use SCTLR.V to detect the exception vectors location as
   suggested by Jens Kuske.
 - Add a padding of 32 NOP instructions in the beginning as
   a workaround for some strange failures.

Previously the backup area was allocated at the address 0x8000.
This is not very good because it means that the U-Boot SPL can
only safely use memory at addresses 0x0000-0x7FFF (32 KiB). But
if we move the backup area to the end of the SRAM A4, this can
allow U-Boot SPL to use memory 0x0000-0x9FFF (40 KiB). The BROM
can't load such large SPLs from the SD card. But the SPL still
can move its stack up to the 40 KiB boundary or do UCL or LZO
decompression at runtime to squeeze more code into it.

This patch makes the sunxi-fel tool compatible with 40 KiB SPLs,
even though the current U-Boot releases do not use them yet.

fel: Add new readl/writel functionality and a "sid" command

This patch makes use of the new aw_fel_readl_n() function to output
the first four 32-bit values (SID key) from an SoC-specific address.
The corresponding e-fuses may not necessarily start at the SID
"base" address, e.g. on H3/A83T they are at <base+0x200>.

Note: SoC support is currently incomplete. In particular, reading
the SID on A31(s) is unsupported. Accessing it there is complicated
by the fact that Allwinner moved this information from the SoC into
the PMIC/AXP221.

    fel: Add support for multiple sequential readl/writel

    There are cases where "long" reads/writes might be used to transfer
    multiple values from/to sequential addresses.

    When doing so, we can avoid having to setup and upload the entire
    scratch buffer (ARM code) every time, by making the underlying
    functions auto-increment the address on each invocation.

    The patch implements this functionality, and maps the existing
    aw_fel_readl() and aw_fel_writel() to special cases (count == 1).

    fel: Add "readl" and "writel" commands

    The read/write operations done by FEL are not suitable for accessing
    hardware registers. For example, trying to read a SID value using
    the "read" or "hexdump" commands results in the following:

      $ sunxi-fel hexdump 0x01c23800 4
      01c23800: 87 00 00 00 __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __

    Apparently, FEL tries to read data one byte at a time and this does
    not always work correctly. Introducing new commands to explicitly
    do 32-bit reads and writes helps:

      $ sunxi-fel readl 0x01c23800
      0x16254187

Doing certain operations may need uploading and executing code
on the device. For example, such operations right now are
reading/writing ARM CP15 coprocessor registers. Uploading the
code to the device is naturally overwriting some part of SRAM
as a side effect. Right now it is not a problem, because the
CP15 coprocessor registers are only accessed as part of uploading
and executing U-Boot SPL. They are nicely timed not to cause
problems and the temporary scratch area gets overwritten by
the SPL code anyway.

But if we decide to provide access to such operations via
command line interface, then any side effects may potentially
cause problems for the users. Consider the following scenario:

  sunxi-fel clear 0x2000 0x100 \
            advanced-command-which-uploads-and-executes-code \
            hexdump 0x2000 0x100

The user may rightfully expect that clearing a buffer in SRAM
to zero and then reading it back should show all zero bytes.
But inserting advanced commands in the middle may cause data
corruption.

In order to resolve this problem, just move the scratch area
away from the 0x2000-0x5BFF addresses range. These particular
addresses are already known to the users as a safe place for
their bare metal expariments in FEL mode. The "sunxi-fel spl"
command is a special case though and it is expected to
overwrite data in this area too.

A possible alternative would be to just backup & restore data
in the scratch area. But this has some disadvantages:
  1. Extra code in the sunxi-fel tool and extra roundtrips over
     USB to do the backup/restore job.
  2. If we allow the OpenRISC core to use the 0x2000-0x5C00
     range in SRAM A1, then this becomes unsafe and racy
     (we can't really backup & restore data without causing
     a temporarily glitch for the currently running code on
     the OpenRISC core).

To sum it up. With this patch we make it so that now the
0x2000-0x5BFF range is freely available for the users of the
sunxi-fel tool. The 0x1000-0x1FFF range is off limits (the
upper part of it is used by the FEL IRQ handler, the lower
part of it is reserved for internal use by the sunxi-fel
tool). The 0x0000-0x0FFF addresses range is reserved for
passing data from the SPL to the main U-Boot binary (via
the SPL header) and is also off limits.
