Hi Mani,
Thanks for the review.
LECARC platforms use the standard DesignWare PCIe Controller, and the
existing DWC driver already handles the enumeration and basic
functionality through the generic PCIe core. This patch only adds the
PCI vendor ID to the vendor-specific capability (VSEC) list, which
enables the standard DWC RAS/DES feature detection.
We don't require a separate PMU driver or additional ACPI ID support
because the PMU functionality is already covered by the generic DWC
PMU framework. The existing driver infrastructure handles the PMU
features transparently once the vendor ID is recognized in the VSEC
table.
Please let us know if you have any other concerns.
Best regards,
Braden Zhang
