[PATCH v9 0/6] Add support for the LAN966x PCI device using a DT overlay

From: Herve Codina
Date: Thu Oct 10 2024 - 02:36:31 EST


Hi,

This series adds support for the LAN966x chip when used as a PCI
device.

For reference, the LAN996x chip is a System-on-chip that integrates an
Ethernet switch and a number of other traditional hardware blocks such
as a GPIO controller, I2C controllers, SPI controllers, etc. The
LAN996x can be used in two different modes:

- With Linux running on its Linux built-in ARM cores.
This mode is already supported by the upstream Linux kernel, with the
LAN996x described as a standard ARM Device Tree in
arch/arm/boot/dts/microchip/lan966x.dtsi. Thanks to this support,
all hardware blocks in the LAN996x already have drivers in the
upstream Linux kernel.

- As a PCI device, thanks to its built-in PCI endpoint controller.
In this case, the LAN996x ARM cores are not used, but all peripherals
of the LAN996x can be accessed by the PCI host using memory-mapped
I/O through the PCI BARs.

This series aims at supporting this second use-case. As all peripherals
of the LAN996x already have drivers in the Linux kernel, our goal is to
reuse them as-is to support this second use-case.

Therefore, this patch series introduces a PCI driver that binds on the
LAN996x PCI VID/PID, and when probed, instantiates all devices that are
accessible through the PCI BAR. As the list and characteristics of such
devices are non-discoverable, this PCI driver loads a Device Tree
overlay that allows to teach the kernel about which devices are
available, and allows to probe the relevant drivers in kernel, re-using
all existing drivers with no change.

This patch series for now adds a Device Tree overlay that describes an
initial subset of the devices available over PCI in the LAN996x, and
follow-up patch series will add support for more once this initial
support has landed.

In order to add this PCI driver, a number changes are needed:
- Patches 1 and 2 introduce the LAN996x PCI driver itself, together
with its DT overlay and the related MAINTAINER entry.

- Patch 3 removes the syscon API usage from the reset driver used for
the LAN966x.

- Patches 4 to 7 allow the reset driver used for the LAN996x to be
built as a module. Indeed, in the case where Linux runs on the ARM
cores, it is common to have the reset driver built-in. However, when
the LAN996x is used as a PCI device, it makes sense that all its
drivers can be loaded as modules.

The v8 series sent didn't contains the expected modification and have to
be simply ignore.
This v9 series fixes that and contains modification expected in v8

Compare to the previous iteration:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20241003081647.642468-1-herve.codina@xxxxxxxxxxx/
this v9 series mainly:
- Add missing spaces
- Add "Reviewed-by" tags

Best regards,
Hervé
