      Interface between kernel and boot loaders on Exynos boards
      ==========================================================

Author: Krzysztof Kozlowski
Date  : 6 June 2015

The document tries to describe currently used interface between Linux kernel
and boot loaders on Samsung Exynos based boards. This is not a definition
of interface but rather a description of existing state, a reference
for information purpose only.

In the document "boot loader" means any of following: U-boot, proprietary
SBOOT or any other firmware for ARMv7 and ARMv8 initializing the board before
executing kernel.
