[PATCH V0 12/21] accel/amdxdna: Decouple AIE4 doorbell and MSI-X notification transport hooks

From: David Zhang

Date: Fri Sep 25 2026 - 21:38:58 EST


Separate PCI-specific doorbell and interrupt notification handling from
the transport-neutral context code:
- Move MSI-X ISR and registration out of aie4_ctx.c into transport hooks
aie4_request_notification() and aie4_free_notification() in aie4_pci.c.
- Add transport hooks aie4_doorbell_setup() and aie4_doorbell_ring() to
validate the doorbell offset against the mapped doorbell BAR and ring
the hardware doorbell.
- Map the doorbell BAR (BAR 2) via pcim_iomap() in aie4m_pcidev_init()
and record ndev->doorbell_base. The doorbells are used exclusively by
kernel submit driver on VF and classic devices. PF devices only perform
management functions, and never host hardware contexts, thus never use
the doorbells.
