Altera PCIe IP can be configured as rootport or device and they might have

endpoint mode and work with other PCIe rootport that from other vendors.
So, add the rootport mode checking in link retrain fixup function.

Instead of making this a PCI fixup, can you make an
altera_pcie_host_init() function, call it from altera_pcie_probe(),
and do the link retrain there?  Then you wouldn't need to worry about
whether this is a Root Port or an Endpoint, plus it would make the
altera driver structure more like the other drivers.

You would call altera_pcie_host_init() before pci_scan_root_bus(), so
you wouldn't have a pci_dev yet, so you wouldn't be able to use
pcie_capability_set_word() to set the PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_RL bit.  But I
assume there's some device-dependent way to access it using
cra_writel()?
We can't use cra_write() to set PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_RL bit.

Why not?  I don't mean it has to be cra_write(), but isn't there some
way you can write that bit before we scan the root bus?  It doesn't
make sense that we have to scan the bus before we can train the link.

We want to be able to tell the PCI core "all the device-specific root
complex initialization has been done, here are the config accessors
you need, please scan for devices."  I want to keep device-specific
things like this quirk directly in the driver and out of the
enumeration process.

We can use
pci_bus_find_capability() and pci_bus_read_config_word() with struct
pci_bus instead.
But this only can be called after pci_scan_root_bus().

Found
iproc_pcie_check_link() have similar implementation.

You're right, and I don't like iproc_pcie_check_link() either, for the
same reasons.

The iproc_pcie_check_link() is a little better because it's called
before enumeration:

  pci_create_root_bus()
  iproc_pcie_check_link()
  pci_scan_child_bus()

But it would be a lot better if iproc_pcie_check_link() were done
first, before pci_create_root_bus().  Then it would be more like the
structure of other drivers, and we could use pci_scan_root_bus()
instead.

Comments, iproc folks?

Bjorn


Although not yet tested, I suppose we can do iproc_pcie_check_link before calling pci_scan_root_bus so we can get rid of separate calls to pci_create_root_bus and pci_scan_child_bus. But then we need to create some dummy bus in the iproc_pcie_check_link function to allow access to the root bus for link check, which was the primary reason why we did pci_create_root_bus before iproc_pcie_check_link, i.e., to avoid the use of dummy root bus.

Thanks,

Ray
