This is an intermediary function that does the common block
initialization.
PHYs like PCIe have a separate common block (apart from SerDes)
for all phy channels. We shouldn't program this common block
multiple times for each channel. That's why this init_count.
You're right!
Unfortunately it took me several minutes to wrap my head around the phy
vs multi-lane and I have a really hard time keeping "qcom_qmp_phy" and
"qmp_phy_desc" apart throughout the driver.
If I understand correctly the qcom_qmp_phy is the context representing
a
"QMP block", while this is a PHY block it's not actually the phy in
Linux eyes. The qcom_phy_desc represents a "QMP lane", which in Linux
eyes is the phys, but as we think of QMP as the PHY this confused me.
That's correct. The qcom_qmp_phy structure represents the QMP phy block
as a whole and not the individual phy lane instances. These phy lanes
are represented by qcom_phy_desc, and are the actual PHYs in Linux eyes.
How about naming them "struct qmp" and "struct qmp_lane" (or possibly
qmp_phy) instead? That way we remove the confusion of QMP PHY vs Linux
PHY and we make the lane part explicit.
Sure, this sounds good to me - "struct qmp" and "struct qmp_phy" (will
call the respective variables as qblk for qmp block (struct qmp) and
qphy for struct qmp_phy).
Thanks for pointing out. Will change them.
