We are trying to write a generic PCIE root port driver which works both on zynq (ARM 32 architecture) and Microblaze architecture, since both use same PCIE Hardware IP. So we started exploring microblaze pci architecture. Zynq driver is already present at drivers/pci/host/pcie-xilinx.c Microblaze pci mainly relies on arch/microblaze/pci/pci-common.c this file. In this file "static int __init pcibios_init(void)" is the main function which does most of the work, before that we need to allocate struct pci_controller and fill in the required device node and resource details. Problem is if we use platform_driver for registration, the "pcibios_init" of microblaze will get invoked before this driver probe is called since it is exported as " subsys_initcall(pcibios_init) " and by that time it doesn't have information of struct pci_controller. (We are using some #ifdef according to archticture) So, in order to avoid above problem and remove dependency on "pcibios_init", we tried directly invoking the following functions, without registering to hw_pci in probe: of_pci_get_host_bridge_resources, pci_create_root_bus, pci_scan_child_bus, pci_assign_unassigned_bus_resources, pci_bus_add_devices. But then also its not successful since pci subsystem itself is invoking some methods from this file(pci-common.c), and some methods take information from struct pci_controller. So I need some inputs what are other possible ways I could try to make generic driver. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
