During the boot process of AIC100, the bootloaders (PBL and SBL) log messages to device RAM. During SBL, if the host opens the QAIC_LOGGING channel, SBL will offload the contents of the log buffer to the host, and stream any new messages that SBL logs. This log of the boot process can be very useful for an initial triage of any boot related issues. For example, if SBL rejects one of the runtime firmware images for a validation failure, SBL will log a reason why. Add the ability of the driver to open the logging channel, receive the messages, and store them. Also define a debugfs entry called "bootlog" by hooking into the DRM debugfs framework. When the bootlog debugfs entry is read, the current contents of the log that the host is caching is displayed to the user. The driver will retain the cache until it detects that the device has rebooted. At that point, the cache will be freed, and the driver will wait for a new log. With this scheme, the driver will only have a cache of the log from the current device boot. Note that if the driver initializes a device and it is already in the runtime state (QSM), no bootlog will be available through this mechanism because the driver and SBL have not communicated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
