[RFC PATCH v2 1/3] powerpc/prom_init: Replace linux,sml-base/sml-size with linux,sml-log

From: Stefan Berger
Date: Mon Mar 11 2024 - 09:21:15 EST


linux,sml-base holds the address of a buffer with the TPM log. This
buffer may become invalid after a kexec. To avoid accessing an invalid
address or corrupted buffer, embed the whole TPM log in the device tree
property linux,sml-log. This helps to protect the log since it is
properly carried across a kexec soft reboot with both of the kexec
syscalls.

Avoid having the firmware ingest the whole TPM log when calling
prom_setprop but only create the linux,sml-log property as a place holder.
Insert the actual TPM log during the tree flattening phase.
