Hi David,

Looks good, a few trival questions below.

Some Cavium ThunderX processors require quirky access methods for the
config space of the PCIe bridge.  Add a driver to provide these config
space accessor functions.  The pci-host-common code is used to
configure the PCI machinery.

What's the significance of the "pem" part of the name?  I'm wondering
if we can shorten the filenames and function names by dropping it and
referring to this simply as "thunder" or "thunderx".

PEM == PCI Express MAC, Essentially the circuitry related to off-chip PCI devices. This differentiates it from the internal on-chip devices which are connected to internal buses we refer to as "ECAMs"

See also the follow on patch, from me, that adds the pci-thunder-ecam.c driver.

Since PEM and ECAM are terminology used in the hardware manuals that have specific meanings relative to the Thunder SoC family, I think it is not too inconvenient to carry them over into the file names.

Ugh.  Another device that only supports 32-bit writes.  I guess this
only affects this single device, and maybe you "know" that it has no
registers where RW1C bits may be corrupted.  Although I suppose this
device has the standard status registers (Status at 0x06, Secondary
Status at 0x1e, Device Status in PCIe capability, etc.), which do
contain RW1C bits.

This device is exactly the specific PCIe host bridge implementation, present on these SoCs. The only sane way to access its config space is via 32-bit operations. We know that it presents the appropriate Class and other registers to be recognized as, and operate as, a standard PCIe bridge.


We need to print a warning at probe-time so we know to consider the
possibility of corruption when debugging.

If you really want it, I suppose I can add that, but I am somewhat hesitant.

How about "thunder_pem_map_bus"?

That would be better. Actually, I wonder how I came up with that crappy name in the first place...

I will wait a day to see if you have any response, and then send a new version of the patch set.

Thanks,
