On multi-mhi platforms, host WiFi driver and

QMI packets received from multiple mhi devices.

With QCN9000 PCI cards, once SBL gets loaded, we
utilize ERRDBG2 register to write a unique value
per mhi device from device-tree that the device
utilizes to set a unique QRTR node ID and
instance ID for the QMI service. This helps QRTR
stack in differenting the packets in a multi-mhi
environment and can route them accordingly.

sample:
root@OpenWrt:/# qrtr-lookup
Service Version Instance Node Port
69 1 40 40 2 ATH10k WLAN firmware service
15 1 0 40 1 Test service
69 1 39 39 2 ATH10k WLAN firmware service
15 1 0 39 1 Test service

Here on column 4, 39 and 40 are the node IDs that
is unique per mhi device.

So, its impossible for me to have multiple QCN9000 PCI devices on say an x86 host, since x86 doesn't support DT?

Also, I have to know ahead of time, when I'm writing the DT, how many of these devices I'm going to have in a system, and if I decide to add N more at a later time, I'm back at square 1?

I fail to understand why IPC Router specific stuff is being clobbered into MHI.

This violates the BHI spec which states that this register is read only from the host perspective. You cannot write to it.


Overall, I get why you are attempting to do this, but solution proposed in this RFC is pretty bad. I'm thinking it would be better to have the QCN9000 "generate" its node id based on the assigned PCI bus address (SBDF) The current Router maintainers should probably weigh in to ensure that won't cause conflicts in the node id space.
