PATCH 4/4 powerpc/83xx: Add PCI-E support for all MPC83xx boards with PCI-E

This patch adds pcie nodes to the appropriate dts files, plus adds some probing code for the boards.

Note that the nodes are disabled by default (via status property), since old (community) U-Boots don't configure PCI-E controllers.

Also, remove of_device_is_avaliable() check from the mpc837x_mds.c board file, as mpc83xx_add_bridge() has the same check now.

for pcie nodes we also include the virtual p2p bridge look at the 85xx or 86xx .dts w/pcie in them.

PATCH v2 4/4 powerpc/83xx: Add PCI-E support for all MPC83xx boards with PCI-E

This patch adds pcie nodes to the appropriate dts files, plus adds some probing code for the boards.

Note that the nodes are disabled by default (via status property), since old (community) U-Boots don't configure PCI-E controllers.

Also, remove of_device_is_avaliable() check from the mpc837x_mds.c board file, as mpc83xx_add_bridge() has the same check now.

This is how FSL U-Boots configure the cfg window, and I'm trying to retain the compatibility. Anyway, now Linux maps only the first 4kB of that area, so we don't actually care about this, but dts is still correct for older u-boots. Newer U-Boots might want to correct this value if they want to use other cfg window setup...

What exactly do you mean by "open source u-boot"? You don't really mean that there are propriatary (closed source) versions of U-Boot in Freescale, or are you? I iknow that you know that it's GPL, so I guess that was just an unlucky phrase?

Best regards,

So you prefer to change the cfg window size to 0x1000?

Yes, that's correct. PCI-E support for community U-Boot is ongoing.

I'd rather not pollute the .dts with this since I don't believe the open source u-boot supports PCIe on 83xx.

What exactly do you mean by "open source u-boot"? You don't really mean that there are propriatary (closed source) versions of U-Boot in Freescale, or are you? I iknow that you know that it's GPL, so I guess that was just an unlucky phrase?

I meant the official u-boot from denx.de vs the one FSL ships w/its boards & BSPs. The BSP u-boot has modifications that don't exist in the denx.de u-boot (as the quality of the code is not up to open source standards).

That is all I meant.

My statement was to convey that the kernel.org kernel should only worry itself with the denx.de u-boot (w/regards to compatibility).

This is how FSL U-Boots configure the cfg window, and I'm trying to retain the compatibility. Anyway, now Linux maps only the first 4kB of that area, so we don't actually care about this, but dts is still correct for older u-boots. Newer U-Boots might want to correct this value if they want to use other cfg window setup...

So you prefer to change the cfg window size to 0x1000?

I'd prefer to drop it (assuming that is reasonable).

Does the PCI-express OF draft spec cover describing cfg space

I see. Yes, we can drop it and just read the outwin0 BAR register to find out the cfg space base address.

If I understood correctly, the spec describes directly mapped cfg space, this won't work for 83xx PCI-E.

I'll post new patches soon.

I believe "upstream" is the word you're looking for.

My statement was to convey that the kernel.org kernel should only worry itself with the denx.de u-boot (w/regards to compatibility).

Why? Unless the BSP u-boots do something insane, I think we should try to have the upstream kernel boot on the u-boot that comes on the board (it's not nice to require users to reflash unnecessarily).

That said, the device tree should come from u-boot, not from the kernel.

The u-boot that came with the boards (at least MPC8315E-RDB) is too old for 2.6.25+ kernels:

Up to now, I was testing PCIe with this combo:
- U-Boot 1.3.0-rc2 (Nov 19 2007 - 16:37:36) MPC83XX, was on the board
- dtc 1.1.0
- Linux 2.6.24.3 w/ Freescale patches from http://www.bitshrine.org/gpp/

That u-boot (i.e. on the mpc8315e-rdb board) had PCIe initialization.

Is u-boot PCIe initialization required for this kernel patch to work?

Hm. U-Boot should initialize SerDes and PCI-E controller (pcie laws, inbound/outbound windows, clocks, etc.)

Though if PCI-E controller wasn't initialized (i.e. board reflashed with the community u-boot), Linux just won't probe the pcie controller:

cfg_bar = in_le32(hose->cfg_data + PEX_OUTWIN0_BAR);

if (!cfg_bar) {
	/* PCI-E isn't configured. */
	ret = -ENODEV;
	goto err1;

You understood correctly, thanks for answering.

So to summarize, we need u-boot to initialize the PCIe controller, in order for Linux to further take it over.

What u-boot versions/releases do provide this initialization?

I know the u-boot with the board works, but it's incompatible with recent Linux kernels.

Could you be more specific?

I would like to test your Linux kernel patch for 83xx/PCIe mainlining.

What version (and what patches) of u-boot do both initialize pcie *and* work with recent Linux kernels?

I am aware of the latest MPC8315E BSP (~2008-06), bitshrine.org/gpp/, the 83xx git tree at denx, and master git.

The first works with 2.6.24, but not with 2.6.25+ The patches at bitshrine are not newer than that. The tree's are not FSL, or is this the FSL U-Boot you mean?

I was told "just to upgrade u-boot", not what the actual problem was, although I would like to learn that.

http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg06551.html

Basically, this means I am unable to ship a bootloader now, supporting 2.6.24.7 now and 2.6.28 later.
