SubjectRFC: Using regmap in ARM64 for EL3 register access
Date
Hi,

I'm working on an ARM64 architecture that needs to manipulate some
protected registers that are only accessible in EL3. Linux is running at
EL1 which doesn't have the proper permissions for these registers.

Since U-Boot is running at the higher EL3, we communicate to the U-Boot
functions through a SMC mechanism.

The regmap framework seems like a good match for accessing these
registers. We need the same functionality as I2C and SPI regmaps - read,
write, and update registers.

Any comments or suggestions about using regmap for this purpose? Is
there a better method?

Thanks,

Thor
