As part of our efforts to get the Cavium OCTEON processor support

have this CF driver for your consideration.

Most OCTEON variants have *no* DMA or interrupt support

   That latter excludes the variant of porting to the IDE core...

That's right.


The register definitions are part of the chip support patch set
mentioned above, and are not included here.

At this point I would like to get feedback on the patch and would
expect that it would merge via the linux-mips tree along with the rest
of the chip support.

   Why a libata driver should be merged via the linus-mips tree?


I don't have a strong preference. The driver depends on the processor support *and* it is only relevant to OCTEON based boards. If the linux-ide maintainers would prefer to merge it via their tree that is fine with me.

Thanks,

No, versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 exist, but are living a decadent out-of-tree life.

That's not so simple. Drive may support PIO mode up to 2 but not support IORDY -- typical for low-end CF. There's ata_pio_need_iordy() for checking if the current PIO mode needs IORDY.

I think the above repetitive calculation needs to be factored out into a function.


Yep.

It's safer to use Tkw instead as it's 215 ns minimum in this mode (in other modes Tkr and Tkw minimums are the same).
   Again, To, Td, and Tkw are returned by ata_timing_find_mode().

   Well, you shouldn't...

Not seeing the reason to use iowrite16() and not writew() as registers are always memory mapped...

I will consider that.

+                }

   This is a strange/slow way of doing anything every 16 data writes.

Oh, how would you do something every 16 writes?

Why not use iowrite16_rep()?

Two reasons.  It is broken, and we need to do something every 16 writes.

We need to be careful not to be anti-social by filling the FIFO. Once the FIFO is filled other cores will be starved of I/O resources.

   How come the error register gets mapped at offset 0xC?
   (Well, that would explain alike part in another CF driver.)


In 16 bit mode it overlaps the data register, so it must be accessed via the 0xc address.

   Is that a normal IDE interrupt, or some Octeon specific interrupt?


No, It is OCTEON specific. It fires when a DMA operation is complete. As I mentioned earlier, the normal IDE interrupt is not connected to anything on most boards.

In theory it could happen...

+                if (status & ATA_BUSY) {

   If it's normal IDE interrupt,

Which it is not.  So...

BSY bit will always be 0

...this doesn't hold, thus all this code.

   Wait, why have 2 MMIO resources then?

The boards that are 'TrueIDE' use two resources, others only one.

+            irq_handler = octeon_cf_interrupt;

   So, what kind of interrupt this is?


DMA completion, see above.
