Bus firewall framework aims to provide a kernel API to set the configuration of the harware blocks in charge of busses access control.
Framework architecture is inspirated by pinctrl framework: - a default configuration could be applied before bind the driver. If a configuration could not be applied the driver is not bind to avoid doing accesses on prohibited regions. - configurations could be apllied dynamically by drivers. - device node provides the bus firewall configurations.
An example of bus firewall controller is STM32 ETZPC hardware block which got 3 possible configurations: - trust: hardware blocks are only accessible by software running on trust zone (i.e op-tee firmware). - non-secure: hardware blocks are accessible by non-secure software (i.e. linux kernel). - coprocessor: hardware blocks are only accessible by the coprocessor. Up to 94 hardware blocks of the soc could be managed by ETZPC.
At least two other hardware blocks can take benefits of this: - ARM TZC-400: http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.100325_0001_02_en/arm_corel... which is able to manage up to 8 regions in address space. - IMX Ressource Domain Controller (RDC): supports four domains and up to eight regions
Version 2 has been rebased on top of v5.5 - Change framework name to "firewall" because the targeted hardware block are acting like firewall on the busses. - Mark Brown had reviewed the previous version but it was on kernel 5.1 and I change the name framework so I have decided to remove it. - Use yaml file to describe the bindings
