This patch series introduces OF overlay support for PCI devices which primarily addresses two use cases. First, it provides a data driven method to describe hardware peripherals that are present in a PCI endpoint and hence can be accessed by the PCI host. An example device is Xilinx/AMD Alveo PCIe accelerators. Second, it allows reuse of a OF compatible driver -- often used in SoC platforms -- in a PCI host based system. An example device is Microchip LAN9662 Ethernet Controller. This patch series consolidates previous efforts to define such an infrastructure: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220305052304.726050-1-lizhi.hou@xxxxxxxxxx/ https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220427094502.456111-1-clement.leger@xxxxxxxxxxx/ Normally, the PCI core discovers PCI devices and their BARs using the PCI enumeration process. However, the process does not provide a way to discover the hardware peripherals that are present in a PCI device, and which can be accessed through the PCI BARs. Also, the enumeration process does not provide a way to associate MSI-X vectors of a PCI device with the hardware peripherals that are present in the device. PCI device drivers often use header files to describe the hardware peripherals and their resources as there is no standard data driven way to do so. This patch series proposes to use flattened device tree blob to describe the peripherals in a data driven way. Based on previous discussion, using device tree overlay is the best way to unflatten the blob and populate platform devices. To use device tree overlay, there are three obvious problems that need to be resolved. First, we need to create a base tree for non-DT system such as x86_64. A patch series has been submitted for this: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220624034327.2542112-1-frowand.list@xxxxxxxxx/ https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220216050056.311496-1-lizhi.hou@xxxxxxxxxx/ Second, a device tree node corresponding to the PCI endpoint is required for overlaying the flattened device tree blob for that PCI endpoint. Because PCI is a self-discoverable bus, a device tree node is usually not created for PCI devices. This series adds support to generate a device tree node for a PCI device which advertises itself using PCI quirks infrastructure. Third, we need to generate device tree nodes for PCI bridges since a child PCI endpoint may choose to have a device tree node created. This patch series is made up of two patches. The first patch is adding OF interface to allocate an OF node. It is copied from: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220620104123.341054-5-clement.leger@xxxxxxxxxxx/ The second patch introduces a kernel option, CONFIG_PCI_OF. When the option is turned on, the kernel will generate device tree nodes for all PCI bridges unconditionally. The patch also shows how to use the PCI quirks infrastructure, DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_FINAL to generate a device tree node for a device. Specifically, the patch generates a device tree node for Xilinx Alveo U50 PCIe accelerator device. The generated device tree nodes do not have any property. Future patches will add the necessary properties.
