u-boot LSDK-20.12: Missing patch for DPL load location

[Thermi]

We got an issue with loading DPL files in LSDK 20.12 in uboot. We suspect it's due to the location the DPL file gets loaded into.
In LSDK 20.04 with the patches, that is different from LSDK 20.12 with patches.
The specific patch that changes that is 0007-lx2160a-load-dpl-into-0x80001000-instead-of-0x80d000.patch.

We haven't tested yet if that helps the issue, but we're pretty certain it's that.

I just re-tested from a clean build; DPL is loaded correctly.
Which SERDES configuration are you trying to use?

[Thermi]

We're trying to use SERDES config 4-5-2.

Did you write your own DPL / DPC?
Using SD1=4 as SGMII should function without setting PLLS <-- PLLF
The only issue we previously had is setting more than 6 DPNI in runtime due to some resource allocation issues.

If you were able to fix that resource issue please let me know how you have done that.

[Thermi]

No, we used the ones provided.

We have working DPC and DPL files for this use case. The problem was solved by dividing up 96 of the 8 prio channels to make enough channels with 2 prios. It's the same fix as described in a commit by Ionut Carlig titled ""Changes for Serdes1 protocol 8 and 13".

The DPNIs are ordered in reverse because at least with our kernel, DPNIs with a higher ID are assigned interface names first.
