[PATCH v2 0/4] Watchdog: sp5100_tco: Replace watchdog cd6h/cd7h port I/O accesses with MMIO accesses

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Use MMIO instead of cd6h/cd7h port I/O during EFCH watchdog initialization.
EFCH cd6h/cd7h PIO can be disabled and the recommended workaround is to use
MMIO. As a result MMIO will be used for EFCH SMBus controller address
discovery and starting the EFCH watchdog timer.

Update EFCH detection to support future AMD processors. This will support
new AMD processors without requiring driver modifications.

Patch details:

The first patch refactors watchdog timer initialization into a separate
function. This is needed for future patches. New functional changes are
not added.

The second patch splits out existing memory reservation and address
mapping into new functions. New functional changes are not added.

The third patch introduces EFCH initialization using MMIO. This is
required because cd6h/cd7h port I/O can be disabled on recent AMD hardware.

The fourth patch adds SMBus controller PCI ID check to enable EFCH MMIO
initialization. This eliminates the need for driver updates to support
future processors supporting the same EFCH functionality.

Testing:
Tested on AMD Fam17h and Fam19h processors using:
cat  >> /dev/watchdog
