Changes since v1: * Rebased onto 4.10-rc6 (cleanly) * Split the patch into a few more easily digestible patches (as suggested by Greg Kroah-Hartman) * Folded switchtec.c into switchtec.h (per Greg) * Fixed a bunch of 32bit build warnings caught by the kbuild test robot * Fixed some issues in the documentation so it has a proper reStructredText format (as noted by Jonathan Corbet) * Fixed padding and sizes in the IOCTL structures as noticed by Emil Velikov and used pahole to verify their consistency across 32 and 64 bit builds * Reworked one of the IOCTL interfaces to be more future proof (per Emil). Changes since RFC: * Fixed incorrect use of the drive model as pointed out by Greg Kroah-Hartman * Used devm functions as suggested by Keith Busch * Added a handful of sysfs attributes to the switchtec class * Added a handful of IOCTLs to the switchtec device * A number of miscellaneous bug fixes -- Hi, This is a continuation of the RFC we posted lasted month [1] which proposes a management driver for Microsemi's Switchtec line of PCI switches. This hardware is still looking to be used in the Open Compute Platform To make this entirely clear: the Switchtec products are compliant with the PCI specifications and are supported today with the standard in-kernel driver. However, these devices also expose a management endpoint on a separate PCI function address which can be used to perform some advanced operations. This is a driver for that function. See the patch for more information. Since the RFC, we've made the changes requested by Greg Kroah-Hartman and Keith Busch, and we've also fleshed out a number of features. We've added a couple of IOCTLs and sysfs attributes which are documented in the patch. Significant work has also been done on the userspace tool which is available under a GPL license at [2]. We've also had testing done by some of the interested parties. We hope to see this work included in either 4.11 or 4.12 assuming a smooth review process. The patch is based off of the v4.10-rc6 release.
