This issue need to be solved before I accept and merge the serie.

Okay, I'll have to drop the call to genimg_get_os_name().


But I think again about the title of this patch :

- spl: mmc: Support OP-TEE payloads in Falcon mode


If I unterstood after the serie the sequence for MMC is:

      ROM code => SPL => TEE (as raw OS) => U-Boot


but it is not really the Falcon mode and
OP-TEE + falcon mode is not really supported...


And the patch title is disturbing.


For me the correct sequence is in Falcon mode is :

     ROM code => SPL => TEE (secure world) => kernel (normal world)


This is exactly the use case that this patch intends to support.


With the TEE and the kernel loaded by the SPL......


and without falcon mode :

(A)    ROM code => SPL => TEE (secure world) => U-Boot

or

(B)    ROM code => SPL (TZ) => U-Boot (TZ) execute bootm => TEE (secure world) => kernel


what it your expected sequence in spl_load_simple_fit in this serie / in your defconfig ?

Today with the normal world address can be:

1/ = spl_image->entry_point (bootm_os.c in U-Boot proprer)

2/ = CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE (hardcoded for SPL in spl_optee.S)


for 2/ When U-Boot is not used after SPL =  in falcon mode,

the LR register shoud be set to kernel entry point.

How does SPL know where OP-TEE should jump to? One could parse the FIT image, and try to figure out which of the loadables is the kernel. But what if there's a linux and u-boot, with different "/configurations" nodes? Figuring out where OP-TEE wants to start the normal world is a hard problem that the u=boot infrastructure is not prepared for.

The solution I'm using is to build OP-TEE with
        CFG_NS_ENTRY_ADDR=[linux entry addr]

Then LR is irrelevant.
