+ARM TCM (Tightly-Coupled Memory) handling in Linux
+----
+Written by Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@stericsson.com>
+
+Some ARM SoC:s have a so-called TCM (Tightly-Coupled Memory).
+This is usually just a few (4-64) KiB of RAM inside the ARM
+processor.
+
+Due to being embedded inside the CPU The TCM has a
+Harvard-architecture, so there is an ITCM (instruction TCM)
+and a DTCM (data TCM). The DTCM can not contain any
+instructions, but the ITCM can actually contain data.
+The size of DTCM or ITCM is minimum 4KiB so the typical
+minimum configuration is 4KiB ITCM and 4KiB DTCM.
+
+ARM CPU:s have special registers to read out status, physical
+location and size of TCM memories. arch/arm/include/asm/cputype.h
+defines a CPUID_TCM register that you can read out from the
+system control coprocessor. Documentation from ARM can be found
+at http://infocenter.arm.com, search for "TCM Status Register"
+to see documents for all CPUs. Reading this register you can
+determine if ITCM (bit 0) and/or DTCM (bit 16) is present in the
+machine.
+
+There is further a TCM region register (search for "TCM Region
+Registers" at the ARM site) that can report and modify the location
+size of TCM memories at runtime. This is used to read out and modify
+TCM location and size. Notice that this is not a MMU table: you
+actually move the physical location of the TCM around. At the
+place you put it, it will mask any underlying RAM from the
+CPU so it is usually wise not to overlap any physical RAM with
+the TCM.
+
+The TCM memory can then be remapped to another address again using
+the MMU, but notice that the TCM if often used in situations where
+the MMU is turned off. To avoid confusion the current Linux
+implementation will map the TCM 1 to 1 from physical to virtual
+memory in the location specified by the machine.
+
+TCM is used for a few things:
+
+- FIQ and other interrupt handlers that need deterministic
+  timing and cannot wait for cache misses.
+
+- Idle loops where all external RAM is set to self-refresh
+  retention mode, so only on-chip RAM is accessible by
+  the CPU and then we hang inside ITCM waiting for an
+  interrupt.
+
+- Other operations which implies shutting off or reconfiguring
+  the external RAM controller.
+
+There is an interface for using TCM on the ARM architecture
+in <asm/tcm.h>. Using this interface it is possible to:
+
+- Define the physical address and size of ITCM and DTCM.
+
+- Tag functions to be compiled into ITCM.
+
+- Tag data and constants to be allocated to DTCM and ITCM.
+
+- Have the remaining TCM RAM added to a special
+  allocation pool with gen_pool_create() and gen_pool_add()
+  and provice tcm_alloc() and tcm_free() for this
+  memory. Such a heap is great for things like saving
+  device state when shutting off device power domains.
+
+A machine that has TCM memory shall select HAVE_TCM in
+arch/arm/Kconfig for itself, and then the
+rest of the functionality will depend on the physical
+location and size of ITCM and DTCM to be defined in
+mach/memory.h for the machine. Code that needs to use
+TCM shall #include <asm/tcm.h> If the TCM is not located
+at the place given in memory.h it will be moved using
+the TCM Region registers.
+
+Functions to go into itcm can be tagged like this:
+int __tcmfunc foo(int bar);
+
+Variables to go into dtcm can be tagged like this:
+int __tcmdata foo;
+
+Constants can be tagged like this:
+int __tcmconst foo;
+
+To put assembler into TCM just use
+.section ".tcm.text" or .section ".tcm.data"
+respectively.
+
+Example code:
+
+#include <asm/tcm.h>
+
+/* Uninitialized data */
+static u32 __tcmdata tcmvar;
+/* Initialized data */
+static u32 __tcmdata tcmassigned = 0x2BADBABEU;
+/* Constant */
+static const u32 __tcmconst tcmconst = 0xCAFEBABEU;

+		tcmvar ++;
+}

+{
+	/* Some abstract code that runs in ITCM */
+	int i;
+	for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
+		tcmvar ++;
+	}
+	tcm_to_tcm();
+}
+
+static void __init test_tcm(void)

+	u32 *tcmem;

+
+	hello_tcm();
+	printk("Hello TCM executed from ITCM RAM\n");

+
+	/* Allocate some TCM memory from the pool */
+	tcmem = tcm_alloc(20);
+	if (tcmem) {
