Booting using "Direct Kernel Boot" for PolarFire SoC & skipping u-boot
entirely is probably not advisable, but it does at least show signs of
life. Recent Linux kernel versions make use of peripherals that are
missing definitions in QEMU and lead to kernel panics. These issues
almost certain rear their head for other methods of booting, but I was
unable to figure out a suitable HSS version that is recent enough to
support these peripherals & works with QEMU.
With these peripherals added, booting a kernel with the following hangs
hangs waiting for the system controller's hwrng, but the kernel no
longer panics. With the Linux driver for hwrng disabled, it boots to
console.
qemu-system-riscv64 -M microchip-icicle-kit \
-m 2G -smp 5 \
-kernel $(vmlinux_bin) \
-dtb $(dtb)\
-initrd $(initramfs) \
-display none -serial null \
-serial stdio
More peripherals are added than strictly required to fix the panics in
the hopes of avoiding a replication of this problem in the future.
Some of the peripherals which are in the device tree for recent kernels
are implemented in the FPGA fabric. The eMMC/SD mux, which exists as
an unimplemented device is replaced by a wider entry. This updated
entry covers both the mux & the remainder of the FPGA fabric connected
to the MSS using Fabric Interrconnect (FIC) 3.

Since HSS commit c20a89f8dcac, the Icicle Kit reference design has
been updated to use a register mapped at 0x4f000000 instead of a
GPIO to control whether eMMC or SD card is to be used. With this
support the same HSS image can be used for both eMMC and SD card
boot flow, while previously two different board configurations were
used. This is undocumented but one can take a look at the HSS code
HSS_MMCInit() in services/mmc/mmc_api.c.
With this commit, HSS image built from 2020.12 release boots again.

The latest SD card image [1] released by Microchip ships a Linux
kernel with built-in PolarFire SoC I2C driver support. The device
tree file includes the description for the I2C1 node hence kernel
tries to probe the I2C1 device during boot.
It is enough to create an unimplemented device for I2C1 to allow
the kernel to continue booting to the shell.

When system memory is larger than 1 GiB (high memory), PolarFire SoC
maps it at address 0x10_0000_0000. Address 0xC000_0000 and above is
aliased to the same 1 GiB low memory with different cache attributes.
At present QEMU maps the system memory contiguously from 0x8000_0000.
This corrects the wrong QEMU logic. Note address 0x14_0000_0000 is
the alias to the high memory, and even physical memory is only 1 GiB,
the HSS codes still tries to probe the high memory alias address.
It seems there is no issue on the real hardware, so we will have to
take that into the consideration in our emulation. Due to this, we
we increase the default system memory size to 1537 MiB (the minimum
required high memory size by HSS) so that user gets notified an error
when less than 1537 MiB is specified.

Somehow HSS needs to access address 0 [1] for the DDR calibration data
which is in the chipset's reserved memory. Let's map it.
[1] See the config_copy() calls in various places in ddr_setup() in
the HSS source codes.

Microchip PolarFire SoC integrates 3 GPIOs controllers. It seems
enough to create unimplemented devices to cover their register
spaces at this point.
With this commit, QEMU can boot to U-Boot (2nd stage bootloader)
all the way to the Linux shell login prompt, with a modified HSS
(1st stage bootloader).

Microchip PolarFire SoC integrates 2 Candence GEMs to provide
IEEE 802.3 standard-compliant 10/100/1000 Mbps ethernet interface.
On the Icicle Kit board, GEM0 connects to a PHY at address 8 while
GEM1 connects to a PHY at address 9.
The 2nd stage bootloader (U-Boot) is using GEM1 by default, so we
must specify 2 '-nic' options from the command line in order to get
a working ethernet.

Microchip PolarFire SoC integrates one Cadence SDHCI controller.
On the Icicle Kit board, one eMMC chip and an external SD card
connect to this controller depending on different configuration.
As QEMU does not support eMMC yet, we just emulate the SD card
configuration. To test this, the Hart Software Services (HSS)
should choose the SD card configuration:
$ cp boards/icicle-kit-es/def_config.sdcard .config
$ make BOARD=icicle-kit-es
The SD card image can be built from the Yocto BSP at:
https://github.com/polarfire-soc/meta-polarfire-soc-yocto-bsp
Note the generated SD card image should be resized before use:
$ qemu-img resize /path/to/sdcard.img 4G
Launch QEMU with the following command:
$ qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -M microchip-icicle-kit -sd sdcard.img

This is an initial support for Microchip PolarFire SoC Icicle Kit.
The Icicle Kit board integrates a PolarFire SoC, with one SiFive's
E51 plus four U54 cores and many on-chip peripherals and an FPGA.
For more details about Microchip PolarFire Soc, please see:
https://www.microsemi.com/product-directory/soc-fpgas/5498-polarfire-soc-fpga
Unlike SiFive FU540, the RISC-V core resect vector is at 0x20220000.
The following perepherals are created as an unimplemented device:
- Bus Error Uint 0/1/2/3/4
- L2 cache controller
- SYSREG
- MPUCFG
- IOSCBCFG
More devices will be added later.
The BIOS image used by this machine is hss.bin, aka Hart Software
Services, which can be built from:
https://github.com/polarfire-soc/hart-software-services
To launch this machine:
$ qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -M microchip-icicle-kit
The memory is set to 1 GiB by default to match the hardware.
A sanity check on ram size is performed in the machine init routine
to prompt user to increase the RAM size to > 1 GiB when less than
1 GiB ram is detected.
