"sophgo,link-id" corresponds to Cadence documentation, but I think it is somewhat misleading in the binding because a PCIe "Link" refers to the downstream side of a Root Port. If we use "link-id" to identify either Core0 or Core1 of a Cadence IP, it sort of bakes in the idea that there can never be more than one Root Port per Core. Since each Core is the root of a separate PCI hierarchy, it seems like maybe there should be a stanza for the Core so there's a place where per-hierarchy things like "linux,pci-domain" properties could go, e.g., pcie@62000000 { // IP 1, single-link mode compatible = "sophgo,sg2042-pcie-host"; reg = <...>; ranges = <...>; core0 { sophgo,core-id = <0>; linux,pci-domain = <0>; port { num-lanes = <4>; // all lanes }; }; }; pcie@82000000 { // IP 2, dual-link mode compatible = "sophgo,sg2042-pcie-host"; reg = <...>; ranges = <...>; core0 { sophgo,core-id = <0>; linux,pci-domain = <1>; port { num-lanes = <2>; // half of lanes }; }; core1 { sophgo,core-id = <1>; linux,pci-domain = <2>; port { num-lanes = <2>; // half of lanes }; }; }; > + The Cadence IP has two modes of operation, selected by a strap pin. > + > + In the single-link mode, the Cadence PCIe core instance associated > + with Link0 is connected to all the lanes and the Cadence PCIe core > + instance associated with Link1 is inactive. > + > + In the dual-link mode, the Cadence PCIe core instance associated > + with Link0 is connected to the lower half of the lanes and the > + Cadence PCIe core instance associated with Link1 is connected to > + the upper half of the lanes. > + > + SG2042 contains 2 Cadence IPs and configures the Cores as below: > + > + +-- Core (Link0) <---> pcie_rc0 +-----------------+ > + | | | > + Cadence IP 1 --+ | cdns_pcie0_ctrl | > + | | | > + +-- Core (Link1) <---> disabled +-----------------+ > + > + +-- Core (Link0) <---> pcie_rc1 +-----------------+ > + | | | > + Cadence IP 2 --+ | cdns_pcie1_ctrl | > + | | | > + +-- Core (Link1) <---> pcie_rc2 +-----------------+ > + > + pcie_rcX is PCIe node ("sophgo,sg2042-pcie-host") defined in DTS. > + > + Sophgo defines some new register files to add support for their MSI > + controller inside PCIe.

I assume both have to be somewhere in the same pcie@62000000 device to make this work. Bjorn
