With the QAIC driver in -next, I'd like to suggest some MHI changes that specific to AIC100 devices, but perhaps provide a framework for other device oddities. AIC100 devices technically violate the MHI spec in two ways. Sadly, these issues comes from the device hardware, so host SW needs to work around them. Thie first issue, presented in this series, has to do with the SOC_HW_VERSION register. This register is suposed to be initialized by the hardware prior to the MHI being accessable by the host to contain a version string for the SoC of the device. This could be used by the host MHI controller software to identify and handle version to version changes. The AIC100 hardware does not initialize this register, and thus it contains garbage. This would not be much of a problem normally - the QAIC driver would just never use it. However the MHI stack uses this register as part of the init sequence and if the controller reports that the register is inaccessable then the init sequence fails. On some AIC100 cards, the garbage value ends up being 0xFFFFFFFF which is PCIe spec defined to be a special value indicating the access failed. The MHI controller cannot tell if that value is a PCIe link issue, or just garbage. QAIC needs a way to tell MHI not to use this register. Other buses have a quirk mechanism - a way to describe oddities in a particular implementation that have some kind of workaround. Since this seems to be the first need for such a thing in MHI, introduce a quirk framework. The second issue AIC100 has involves the PK Hash registers. A solution for this is expected to be proposed in the near future and is anticipated to make use of the quirk framework proposed here. With PK Hash, there are two oddities to handle. AIC100 does not initialize these registers until the SBL is running, which is later than the spec indicates, and in practice is after MHI reads/caches them. Also, AIC100 does not have enough registers defined to fully report the 5 PK Hash slots, so a custom reporting format is defined by the device. v2: -Fix build error -Fix typo in commit text Jeffrey Hugo (2): bus: mhi: host: Add quirk framework and initial quirk accel/qaic: Add MHI_QUIRK_SOC_HW_VERSION_UNRELIABLE drivers/accel/qaic/mhi_controller.c | 1 + drivers/bus/mhi/host/init.c | 13 +++++++++---- include/linux/mhi.h | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 28 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) -- 2.40.1
