In subject, IIUC this patch does not actually create device tree nodes

   - Adds an of_pci_make_dev_node() *interface* that can be used to
     create this node

   - Creates such a node for *every* bridge

   - Does nothing at all for "selected devices" or the Xilinx Alveo

For Alveo PCI card, the card firmware provides a flattened device tree to
describe the hardware peripherals on its BARs. The Alveo card driver can
load this flattened device tree and leverage device tree framework to
generate platform devices for the hardware peripherals eventually.
The Alveo details are relevant to the quirk patch but not to *this*
patch.

But the reason for creating a node for every bridge device *is*
relevant and should be included here, since that change affects
everybody that uses OF.

Apparently, the device tree framework requires a device tree node for the
PCI device. Thus, it can generate the device tree nodes for hardware
peripherals underneath. Because PCI is self discoverable bus, there might
not be a device tree node created for PCI devices. This patch is to add
support to generate device tree node for PCI devices.

I rewrote the description as below. Does it look better?

    PCI: Create device tree node for bridge

    The PCI endpoint device such as Xilinx Alveo PCI card maps the register
    spaces from multiple hardware peripherals to its PCI BAR. Normally,
    the PCI core discovers devices and BARs using the PCI enumeration process.     There is no infrastructure to discover the hardware peripherals that are     present in a PCI device, and which can be accessed through the PCI BARs.

    Apparently, the device tree framework requires a device tree node for the
    PCI device. Thus, it can generate the device tree nodes for hardware
    peripherals underneath. Because PCI is self discoverable bus, there might     not be a device tree node created for PCI devices. Furthermore, if the PCI     device is hot pluggable, when it is plugged in, the device tree nodes for     its parent bridges are required. Add support to generate device tree node
    for PCI bridges.

    Added an of_pci_make_dev_node() interface that can be used to create
    device tree node for PCI devices.

    Added a PCI_DYNAMIC_OF_NODES config option. When the option is turned on,     the kernel will generate device tree nodes for PCI bridges unconditionally.

    Initially, the basic properties are added for the dynamically generated
    device tree nodes which include #address-cells, #size-cells, device_type,
    compatible, ranges, reg.

Is there a convention for using "devicetree" vs "device tree"?  The
help message uses both and it would be nice to only use one or the
other.
Ok. Will use "device tree".

Maybe this deserves a comment?  The connection between "interrupt-map"
and the rest of this patch isn't obvious to me.

Also, it looks like this happens for *everybody*, regardless of
PCI_DYNAMIC_OF_NODES, which seems a little suspect.  If it's an
unrelated bug fix it should be a different patch.

This is not a bug fix. The check will distinguish between device tree nodes automatically created for pci bridges by this patch with those created by a DT based system. With this patch, device tree nodes are created for pci bridges, thus ppnode here will be non-zero and we will break out of the loop. In order to still use pci_swizzle_interrupt_pin(), checking “interrupt-map” for ppnode is added here.


After thinking about this more, using “interrupt-map” property may not be correct for the cases where ppnode is not dynamically generated and it does not have “interrupt-map”. So, I would introduce a new property “dynamic” for pci bridge nodes generated dynamically. And change the code to: if (ppnode && of_property_present(ppnode, "dynamic")).


Does this make sense?

For the non-OF folks (like me), can you say what the semantics of
parent_addr vs child_addr are?  I suppose maybe parent_addr is an
address on the primary side of a bridge and child_addr is the
corresponding address on the secondary side?

And PCI bridges don't perform address translation, so they are
identical?
I will add more comments here.

I don't think it's meaningful to OR together the "negative error
values" returned by all these functions.  Presumably those are things
like -EINVAL, -ENOMEM, etc.  ORing them together is admittedly
non-zero, but yields nonsense.

Pull these functions all onto one line, like other similar stubs in
this file.
Sure.

Unnecessary comment since this is all 10 lines.

Will remove it.
