Hello,

This set of patches introduces Message Signaled Interrupt support in
the Marvell EBU PCIe driver. It has been successfully tested on the
Armada XP GP platform with an Intel e1000e PCIe network card that
supports MSI.

This patch set is intended for merging in 3.12, so the respective
maintainers of the different areas are invited to review/ack the
patches, see below for the details. This set of patches applies on top
of 3.11-rc1.

The patches do the following:

 * Patch 1 adds an IRQ domain function that allows to allocate
   dynamically a free hwirq number from an IRQ domain, and create a
   virq mapping to it. It was suggested by Grant Likely in order to
   remove the hwirq allocation code from the IRQ driver itself.

   This patch needs the Ack of Grant Likely.

 * Patch 2 reworks how the architecture-specific MSI functions can be
   overriden by architecture-specific code, by using weak
   functions. It was suggested by Bjorn Helgaas.

   This patch needs the Ack from Bjorn Helgaas, and the relevant
   architecture maintainers.

 * Patch 3 removes the ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI hidden kconfig boolean which
   is no longer needed now that we have weak functions for all MSI
   architecture-specific hooks.

   This patch needs the Ack from Bjorn Helgaas, and the relevant
   architecture maintainers.

 * Patch 4 adds a minimal msi_chip infrastructure, that allows a
   pci_bus to be connected to a msi_chip, and that provides default
   implementations of the architecture-specific MSI functions to use
   msi_chip.

   This patch needs the Ack from Bjorn Helgaas.

 * Patch 5 adds a small registry of msi_chip <-> of_node in the OF
   code.

   This patch needs the Ack from Grant Likely or Rob Herring, and
   probably Bjorn Helgaas as well.

 * Patch 6 makes some not very interesting preparation in the Armada
   370/XP IRQ controller driver.

   This patch needs the Ack from Thomas Gleixner.

 * Patch 7 implements the MSI support in the Armada 370/XP IRQ
   controller driver. It registers an msi_chip using the
   msi_chip_add() function added in PATCH 3.

   This patch needs the Ack from Thomas Gleixner.

 * Patch 8 extends the ARM PCI core to expose ->add_bus() and
   ->remove_bus() hooks to PCI drivers. This was suggested by Bjorn
   Helgaas to allow the PCI driver to connected the PCI busses with
   the corresponding MSI chip.

   This patch needs the Ack from Russell King.

 * Patch 9 adjust the Armada 370/XP Device Tree to indicate that the
   MPIC is not only an interrupt-controller, but also an
   msi-controller.

   This patch needs the Ack from Jason Cooper, Gregory Clement
   and/or Andrew Lunn, the Marvell Maintainers.

 * Patch 10 adds MSI support in the Marvell PCIe host controller
   driver. The work to do here is minimal: get a reference to the
   msi-parent controller thanks to msi_chip_find_by_of_node(), and
   link it to the pci_bus structure before the bus gets enumerated.

   This patch needs the Ack from Bjorn Helgaas.

 * Patch 11 adjusts the Armada 370/XP Device Tree to add the msi-parent
   properties in the PCIe controller nodes.

   This patch needs the Ack from Jason Cooper, Gregory Clement
   and/or Andrew Lunn, the Marvell Maintainers.

This version 5 follows:
 * PATCH version 4 sent on July, 1st 2013
 * PATCH version 3 sent on June, 19th 2013
 * PATCH version 2 sent on June, 6th 2013
 * RFC version 1 sent on March, 26th 2013

Changes since v4:

 * Rebased on top of 3.11-rc1.

 * Slightly rework the implementation of arch_setup_msi_irq(),
   arch_teardown_msi_irq and arch_msi_check_device() according to the
   suggestions of Bjorn Helgaas (PATCH 4)

 * Make a few improvements to the msi_chip registry, according to the
   suggestion of Bjorn Helgaas and Rob Herring: coding style fixes,
   usage of mutex while traversing the list of msi_chip, usage of
   of_pci_msi_* prefix instead of just of_msi_*.

Changes since v3:

 * Keep only a default_teardown_msi_irqs() function needed for the Xen
   PCI x86 code, and remove all other default_*() function and put the
   default behavior directly in the weak functions. Suggested by
   Thierry Redding and Bjorn Helgaas.

 * Misc small improvements the MSI chip registry code: compiled only
   under CONFIG_PCI_MSI, functions exported to modules, addition of an
   of_msi_chip_remove() function, renaming of
   of_msi_chip_find_by_node() to of_find_msi_chip_by_node(), move the
   test of the "msi-controller" property to the of_msi_chip_add()
   function, renamed the list_head field from link to list, added
   dummy functions in the header files when !CONFIG_PCI_MSI &&
   !CONFIG_OF. All suggested by Thierry Redding.

 * Add a patch that entirely removes the ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI, as we now
   have weak functions, so even if an arch doesn't actually
   use/support MSI, the code will build properly. Suggested by Thierry
   Redding.

 * Added Device Tree binding documentation updates for the IRQ
   controller and the PCIe controller.

Changes since v2:

 * Add an IRQ domain function that allows to allocate dynamically a
   free hwirq number from an IRQ domain, and create a virq mapping to
   it. It was suggested by Grant Likely in order to remove the hwirq
   allocation code from the IRQ driver itself. (PATCH 1)

 * Separate the use of weak functions from the introduction of the
   msi_chip infrastructure, and use weak functions for all
   architecture-specific MSI hooks. Suggested by Bjorn Helgaas (PATCH
   2).

 * Move the msi_chip registry to drivers/of. Suggested by Bjorn
   Helgaas (PATCH 4).

 * Use pcibios_add_bus() and pcibios_remove_bus() to connect the PCI
   busses to their msi_chip, as suggested by Bjorn Helgaas. Requires
   some ARM PCI core changes (PATCH 7), and then changes to the PCI
   driver itself (PATCH 9).

Thanks,

Thomas
