Platform Spec Technical Feedback
Hi Aaron, OS-A refers to EBBR which mandates reduced set of UEFI interfaces. Yes, UEFI is mandatory for server OS distros. What "other protocols" which you think not necessary to support server OSs? R

[PATCH] riscv-platform-spec: PLIC and CLINT for Linux-2022 platform
Hi Abner, Do we need both words - non-local and global ? Should we just say implementation specific? The last sentence is not clear to me. Could you rephrase it? I think you also need to add yourself
