[PATCH v2 0/3] Marvell PCIe driver improvements

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Bjorn, Jason, Andrew, Gregory,

Here is an updated version of the PCIe improvements.

Changes since v1:

 * Fix some typos in the comments of PATCH 2, noticed by Bjorn
   Helgaas.

 * Rework the two last patches (first one was fixing the capability
   list, the other one the emulation of the devsel bits in the status
   register), after the comments of Bjorn. In fact, it turns out that
   the status register is composed of read-only bits for which we want
   to emulate a value of zero, and the other bits are write-1-to-clear
   bits that expose error conditions that we do not handle in the
   emulated bridge. So, in summary, emulating a 0 status register on
   reads, and ignoring writes to the status register is the simplest
   solution. If we later on implement a capability list, we can use a
   more clever emulation of the status register, but for the moment,
   this simple solution is enough. Therefore, the two last patches are
   now one single, simpler patch.

I'd like those improvements to be kept separated from the original
PCIe driver itself: while the PCIe driver has been around and reviewed
for a long time, those improvements are newer. And I clearly do not
want the PCIe driver to miss 3.11 because of any problem that could be
found in those additional improvements.

The main improvement being brought here is that the PCI-to-PCI bridge
logic is fixed/extended to properly support physical PCIe bridges that
are connected on a PCIe interface of a Marvell board. Without this
improvement, only the devices connected directly to the PCIe
interfaces of the board are properly enumerated. Any device that would
sit beyond a physical bridge is not visible.

Bjorn, with your Acked-by, could the Marvell maintainers include those
patches in their branch, merged through arm-soc? They already have the
Marvell PCIe driver itself, so I believe it makes sense to merge those
improvements through the same path.

Jason, those patches have been prepared on top of my marvell-pcie-v10
branch, I hope that's ok for you. If you want me to rebase them on
some other branch in which you have integrated the PCIe driver, don't
hesitate to tell me to do so. That said, since those patches are only
touching the driver itself and no other file, they should not cause
any conflict with other changes.

Thanks,

Thomas
