Currently, Berlin SATA PHY driver assumes PHY_BASE address being
constant. While this PHY_BASE is correct for BG2Q, older BG2 PHY_BASE
is different. Prepare the driver for BG2 support by moving the phy_base
into private driver data.

Can't the base directly come from dt?

You are suggesting a "marvell,phy-base-address" property, right?
I have no strong opinion about it, I accept your call (or DT maintainer
ones).

I still have the DT patches for BG2Q queued up for v3.19 (I missed the
arm-soc merge window for v3.18). That means, there has been no release
with the phy binding used and I can rework a little more.

Can you please confirm that you want a DT property for the phy base address,
e.g. marvell,phy-base-address = <{0x200,0x80}> ?

If so, I'd also rename the compatible from berlin2q-sata-phy to more
generic berlin-sata-phy.

I think what Kishon is asking, is why this 0x200 offset isn't already on
reg. so that instead of, e.g.:

reg = <0x40000000 0x1000>;

you would have:

reg = <0x40000200 0x1000>;

I had something similar to what Sebastian suggested in mind. I think phy_base
is used for a different reason and can't be directly used in 'reg'.

Kishon,

thanks for the clarification. While the extra marvell,phy-base-address
property basically works and I agree with it, I may have some
_potential_ draw-backs:

The Marvell BSP code (which I have no clue _why_ it does what it does
or if it is required) has some magic writes to "improve" serial signal
quality. I left them out as my HDD was detected with and without them.

Now, if we find that they are required, we have to find a way to make
the PHY driver know about the PHY revision. We'd usually add a
different compatible and deal with it accordingly.

So, not adding the compatible now _may_ just postpone a follow-up patch
for the different PHY setup of BG2 and render the new phy_base property
basically useless.

If you are just unhappy with the "static u32 bg2q_sata_phy_base"
assigned to of_device_id.data, I can convert that to Felipe's proposal.

Sebastian
