Subject: ARM: HYP/non-sec: remove MIDR check to validate CBAR
X-Git-Tag: v2014.10-rc1~38^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.kernelconcepts.de/?p=karo-tx-uboot.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=9d195a546179bc732aba9eacccf0a9a3db591288;ds=sidebyside

ARM: HYP/non-sec: remove MIDR check to validate CBAR

Having a form of whitelist to check if we know of a CPU core
and and obtain CBAR is a bit silly.

It doesn't scale (how about A12, A17, as well as other I don't know
about?), and is actually a property of the SoC, not the core.

So either it works and everybody is happy, or it doesn't and
the u-boot port to this SoC is providing the real address via
a configuration option.

The result of the above is that this code doesn't need to exist,
is thus forcefully removed.
