Ah.
:)
As is probably somewhat evident at this point, I'm using vexpress-a9
because it's such a convenient QEMU target, rather than because I have
real hardware anywhere.
Hm, I didn't once stop and think that maybe there actually were two LCD
controllers. (And this is where software is great; I got to learn my
assumptions were invalid without blowing anything up. :D)
I tried to find the actual Versatile Express board I'm "using"; the
closest I was able to come was https://community.arm.com/developer
/tools-software/tools/b/tools-software-ides-blog/posts/50-off-arm-
versatile-express-development-boards. It looks like it has two
(...three?) processors and four PCIe slots. Very nice.
Thanks again.

Title:
vexpress-a9 (but not -a15) creates two pl111 LCDs due to duplicate
sysbus_create_simple("pl111", ...) calls
Status in QEMU:
Invalid
Bug description:
Hi,
Just a small report that (12ec8bd is current master)
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/12ec8bd/hw/arm/vexpress.c#L652:
...
vexpress_common_init() {
...
sysbus_create_simple("pl111", map[VE_CLCD], pic[14]);
...
...
and
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/12ec8bd/hw/arm/vexpress.c#L304:
...
a9_daughterboard_init() {
...
sysbus_create_simple("pl111", 0x10020000, pic[44]);
...
...
result in two LCD panels when using vexpress-a9.
vexpress-a15 does not appear to be affected (my -a9 kernel does not
work with it, but I see only one pl111 created).
Understandably (but still annoyingly), -nodefaults has no effect.
This bug is most evident when using SDL (so I can use ",frame=off"),
which dumps two top-level windows onto the screen. GTK hides this
because, coincidentally, the pl111 that ends up being used is the one
that is selected (possibly the one created last?), relegating this to
an obscure glitch only noticeable if you scrutinize the menu.
This is a bugreport as opposed to a pull request as I have no idea
which call to remove - and complete ignorance of the potential
housekeeping and consideration that may be warranted first.
FWIW, a simple testcase can be made with the vmlinuz from
https://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/armhf/ and
qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -kernel vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-vexpress
-nodefaults -sdl
Thanks!
