PCIe ECAM(Enhanced Configuration Access Mechanism) feature requires

To enable this feature increase configuration space size to 256MB. If
the config space is increased, the BAR space needs to be truncated as
it resides in the same location. To avoid the bar space truncation move
config space, DBI, ELBI, iATU to upper PCIe region and use lower PCIe
iregion entirely for BAR region.

This depends on the commit: '10ba0854c5e6 ("PCI: qcom: Disable mirroring
of DBI and iATU register space in BAR region")'

I took a second look - why are dbi and config regions overlapping?


Not just DBI, ELBI too.

I would imagine the latter to be at a certain offset


The problem is that for ECAM, we need config space region to be big enough to
cover all 256 buses. For that reason Krishna overlapped the config region and
DBI/ELBI. Initially I also questioned this and somehow convinced that there is
no other way (no other memory). But looking at the internal documentation now,
I realized that atleast 512MiB of PCIe space is available for each controller
instance.

DBI is the config space of the root port0, ecam expects all the config
space is continuous i.e 256MB and this 256MB config space is ioremaped
in ecam driver[1]. This 256 MB should contain the dbi memory too and
elbi always with dbi region we can't move it other locations. We are
keeping overlap region because once ecam driver io remaped all 256MB
including dbi and elbi memory dwc memory can't ioremap the dbi and elbi
region again. That is the reason for having this overlap region.
So I just quickly tried this series on SA8775p and by moving the config space
after the iATU region, I was able to have ECAM working without overlapping
addresses in DT. Here is the change I did:

I am sure ecam is not enabled with this below change because ecam block
have the address alignment requirement that address should be aligned to
the base address of the range is aligned to a 2(n+20)-byte memory address boundary from pcie spec 6.0.1, sec 7.2.2 (PCI Express Enhanced
Configuration Access Mechanism (ECAM)), with out that address alignment
ecam will not work since ecam driver gets bus number function number
by shifting the address internally.

If this is not acceptable we have mimic the ecam driver in dwc driver
which is also not recommended.

Krishna: Could you also try similar change on SC7280 and see if it works?
