Subject: [edk2-platforms PATCH v1 3/3] VExpressPkg: Reorder driver load order for AARCH64 FVP.
Date: Fri,  6 Apr 2018 15:46:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180406144645.11005-4-supreeth.venkatesh@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180406144645.11005-1-supreeth.venkatesh@arm.com>

ARM CPU driver inf file recently got updated to have a depedency
expression to load after GIC driver.
However, there are other Arm drivers like NorFlashDxe, MM Communication
drivers etc. which depends on ARM CPU driver for AddMemorySpace() and
its related operations to work properly.
Hence, NorflashDxe and other drivers encounter runtime asserts due to
bizzare order of loading drivers as they load ahead of ARM CPU Driver.

Hence to resolve runtime asserts due to bizzare order of loading drivers
either depex has to be updated in all the driver inf files that depend
on ARM CPU driver or reorder driver load order to load GIC Driver and
CPU driver load first.

This patch attempts to fix loading order of drivers on AARCH64 FVP.
