Nowadays PC-style parallel ports come in the form of PCI and PCIe option cards and there are some combined parallel/serial option cards as well that we handle in the parport subsystem. There is nothing in particular that would prevent them from being used in any system equipped with PCI or PCIe connectivity, except that we do not permit the PARPORT_PC config option to be selected for platforms for which ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT has not been set for. The only PCI platforms that actually can't make use of PC-style parallel port hardware are those newer PCIe systems that have no support for I/O cycles in the host bridge, required by such parallel ports. An example of such a host bridge is the POWER9 PHB4 device, but it is an exception rather than the norm. Also it is not clear whether the serial port side of devices enabled by the PARPORT_SERIAL option uses port I/O or MMIO. Therefore for PCI platforms PARPORT_PC should generally be available, except for Super I/O solutions, which are either ISA or platform devices. Make the PARPORT_PC option selectable also for PCI systems then, however limit the availability of PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO to platforms that have ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT enabled. Update platforms accordingly for the required <asm/parport.h> header. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi, I have verified this lightly by booting a kernel with PARPORT_PC and PARPORT_SERIAL enabled on a RISC-V HiFive Unmatched system. While I do have a PCIe parallel port option available that I could use with my RISC-V machine (based on the OxSemi OXPCIe952 chip) it is currently plugged in the wrong system, and both machines are in my remote lab I have currently no visit scheduled to in the near future. For the record the device reports as: PCI parallel port detected: 1415:c118, I/O at 0x1000(0x1008), IRQ 18 parport1: PC-style at 0x1000 (0x1008), irq 18, using FIFO [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,EPP,ECP] in the other system. I'll see if I can verify it with the Unmatched at the next opportunity, though it seems like an overkill to me given that a PC-style parallel port is a generic PCIe device. The OXPCIe952 implements a multifunction device, so it doesn't rely on PARPORT_SERIAL. NB platforms to be updated for <asm/parport.h> generation were chosen by the presence of the HAVE_PCI or FORCE_PCI option from ones that do not already have or generate that header. Let me know if I got anything wrong here.
