This patch series does:
1. max_bus_speed is used to set the device to gen2 speeds
2. on power there's no longer a conflict between the pseries call and other
architectures, because the overwrite is done via a ppc_md hook
3. radeon is using bus->max_bus_speed instead of drm_pcie_get_speed_cap_mask
for gen2 capability detection
The first patch consists of some architecture changes, such as adding a hook on
powerpc for pci_root_bridge_prepare, so that pseries will initialize it to a
function, while all other architectures get a NULL pointer. So that whenever
pci_create_root_bus is called, we'll get max_bus_speed properly setup from
OpenFirmware.
The second patch consists of simple radeon changes not to call
drm_get_pcie_speed_cap_mask anymore. I assume that on x86 machines,
the max_bus_speed property will be properly set already.
So I'm ok with the approach now and I might even put the powerpc patch
in for 3.10 since arguably we are fixing a nasty bug (uninitialized
max_bus_speed).
David, what's your feeling about the radeon change ? It would be nice if
that could go in soon for various distro targets :-) On the other hand
I'm not going to be pushy if you are not comfortable with it.
FWIW, the radeon change looks fine to me.
Alex
Hi David,
Are you planning to accept the radeon patch? If yes, can we still expect
it to make it for 3.10?
As Ben mentioned, we have some distro targets to make and it would be
nice to have an outlook of the upstream acceptance to start the
conversations with those distros.
Thanks!
