Subject: [PATCH 7/7] hvc: add an M3000 firmware console backend
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 18:14:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002161515.932316-8-linmag7@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261002161515.932316-1-linmag7@gmail.com>
Provide hvc0 through the IKKAKU Open Firmware pseudo-console, validating
model and console properties before matching. Serialize firmware calls,
keep the bounce buffer in locked mappings and poll input each open tick.
Keep output buffers const and bound no-progress retries because HVC
retries EAGAIN indefinitely. A stalled firmware call remains unbounded.
Use the existing SPARC p1275 interface and HVC output contract.
