Implicit in my statements so far was the assumption that the AHCI platform driver would actually use info from the AHCI registers before bringing up the PHY. For instance, my driver used to do something like this: 0. configure AHCI register endianness 1. check AHCI HOST_PORTS_IMPL 2. enable phy(s) for port(s) that are available (This would automatically account for cases where one or more port(s) are OTP'd out.) Such a sequence would require that the AHCI registers are prepared for use before the PHY driver ever comes into play. But I now see that such a sequence is not done, and that your suggestion would actually work. The OTP cases can be handled by disabling the PHY subnodes in the device tree. BTW, BUS_CTRL also contains a bit for allowing re-configuration of the AHCI CAPS register, and we'll probably need to use this soon. I see that this would probably actually be a PHY-dependent operation, since we will have some SoCs where features are buggy and should be disabled, and conversely other SoCs where new features are disabled by default, but can be enabled after silicon verification confirms they are "good." (Particularly: AHCI link power management.) I'm not sure whether these would be properties of the SATA driver or of the PHY driver. All in all, I think I'm leaning toward your suggestion of moving this all to the phy driver, and just using 'generic-ahci' directly. I would, of course, still like to define a 'brcm,bcm7445-ahci' compatible string, in case we need to differentiate from other 'generic' AHCI eventually. > >The problem is what to do with the PHY_CTRL registers that are kept in > >the middle of the block.

I though of that earlier, but that's even uglier IMO :) Unless my comments earlier in the email change, I think I'll lean toward your former suggestion, actually. > >>This avoids the weird / ugly register overlap with the phy driver, and I think you > >>can then just use the ahci_platform driver unmodified. > >> > >>>+ interrupts = <GIC_SPI 30 0>; > >>>+ #address-cells = <1>; > >>>+ #size-cells = <0>; > >>>+ > >>>+ sata0: sata-port@0 { > >>>+ reg = <0>; > >>>+ phys = <&sata_phy 0>; > >>>+ }; > >>>+ > >>>+ sata1: sata-port@1 { > >>>+ reg = <1>; > >>>+ phys = <&sata_phy 1>; > >>>+ }; > >>>+ }; > >>>+ > >>>+ sata_phy: sata-phy@f0458100 { > >>>+ compatible = "brcm,bcm7445-sata-phy", "brcm,phy-sata3"; > >>>+ reg = <0x458100 0x1e00>, <0x45804c 0x10>; > >> > >>Why not simply use: reg = <0x458000 0x2000>, to me it seems that what you should > >>really be using here. > > > >0x458000 to 0x45800f and 0x458080 to 0x4580af belong to a debug > >interrupt controller, which handles bus error handling.

Eh, it doesn't do too much for the code. We'll just now have to grab two different resources "by name", and then do the register reads/writes by pulling from two different __iomem regions, instead of a single one plus an offset of (0x1000 * portnum). Not much difference. But yes, I can split the regions if that helps make the description better (TM).
