Subject: [PATCH 5/5] arm64: Update booting requirements for GICv3 in GICv2 mode
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2015 17:37:54 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1443803874-9566-6-git-send-email-marc.zyngier@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1443803874-9566-1-git-send-email-marc.zyngier@arm.com>
The current requirements do not describe the case where a GICv3
system gets booted with system register access disabled, and
expect the kernel to drive GICv3 in GICv2 mode.
Describe the expected settings for that particular case.
