[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/9] hw/arm/raspi: Don't do board-setup or secure-boot for raspi3

[Peter Maydell]

For the rpi1 and 2 we want to boot the Linux kernel via some
custom setup code that makes sure that the SMC instruction
acts as a no-op, because it's used for cache maintenance.
The rpi3 boots AArch64 kernels, which don't need SMC for
cache maintenance and always expect to be booted non-secure.
Don't fill in the aarch32-specific parts of the binfo struct.
