Hi,
Thanks for your info. What a surprise that exist such a SoC. That means I have to judge if it's a 64bit CPU in other way than just check ARM64 config.
Yeah, you should do anyways. Actually you should try to avoid those explicit checks in the first place. Drivers shouldn't need to care about the "bit size" of the CPU and Linux provides many ways to automatically cope with that, with types likes phys_addr_t for instance. Quickly grep-ing I find "need_dma32" in lima_ttm.c:lima_ttm_init(), is that the only place you need to check?
Yes, mali GPU can only use physical mem within 32bit address space.
Ah, thanks, I was wondering about that.
So I check ARM64 and ARM_LPAE for possible more than 32bit address space to pass in “need_dma32”.
Mmh, but this is not how I understand this parameter. To me it looks like it is a property of the device (GPU and bus), but not the CPU. So if Mali 4xx can only do 32-bit DMA, then this parameter should *always* be true, regardless of whether the CPU can address more than 4GB. If the system is restricted to 32-bit anyways, it should not hurt to have it set to true, even though it is not needed in this case.
So you can drop this check altogether and just always pass "true".
This parameter is for TTM to alloc page with GFP_DMA32 flag, I'd love to always set it if GFP_DMA32 won't cause any trouble on 32bit CPUs.
Regards, Qiang
Cheers, Andre.

You can add ARCH_ZYNQMP here too , it has Mali 400 MP2.
Well, as Qiang Yu already figured, it seems much smarter to not enumerate every possible platform here. More than that, the Kconfig depends should be strictly technical. There is nothing in this driver which is ARM specific, in fact I managed to compile it for x86-64 as well (with some small fix in a random header file). In fact there are x86-64 based SoCs pairing Intel Atom cores with a Mali GPUs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockchip#Tablet_processors_with_integrated_mod...
So you can get rid of this whole line at all, meaning you don't even need the "depends on ARM || ARM64 || COMPILE_TEST" you have in your gitlab repo.
Cheers, Andre.
