[PATCH RESEND v2 00/11] PCI: dwc: Relatively simple fixes and cleanups

[PATCH RESEND v2 00/11] PCI: dwc: Relatively simple fixes and cleanups

[Serge Semin]

It turns out the recent DW PCIe-related patchset was merged in with
several relatively trivial issues left unsettled (noted by Bjorn and
Manivannan). All of these lefovers have been fixed in this patchset.
Namely the series starts with two bug-fixes. The first one concerns the
improper link-mode initialization in case if the CDM-check is enabled. The
second unfortunate mistake I made in the IP-core version type helper. In
particular instead of testing the IP-core version type the macro function
referred to the just IP-core version which obviously wasn't what I
intended.

Afterwards two @Mani-noted fixes follow. Firstly the dma-ranges related warning
message is fixed to start with "DMA-ranges" word instead of "Dma-ranges".
Secondly the Baikal-T1 PCIe Host driver is converted to perform the
asynchronous probe type which saved us of about 15% of bootup time if no any
PCIe peripheral device attached to the port.

Then the patchset contains the Baikal-T1 PCIe driver fix. The
corresponding patch removes the false error message printed during the
controller probe procedure. I accidentally added the unconditional
dev_err_probe() method invocation. It was obviously wrong.

Then two trivial cleanups are introduced. The first one concerns the
duplicated fast-link-mode flag unsetting. The second one implies
dropping a redundant empty line from the dw_pcie_link_set_max_speed()
function.

The series continues with a patch inspired by the last @Bjorn note
regarding the generic resources request interface. As @Bjorn correctly
said it would be nice to have the new interface used wider in the DW PCIe
subsystem. Aside with the Baikal-T1 PCIe Host driver the Toshiba Visconti
PCIe driver can be easily converted to using the generic clock names.
That's what is done in the noted patch.

The patchset is closed with a series of MAINTAINERS-list related patches.
Firstly after getting the DW PCIe RP/EP DT-schemas refactored I forgot to
update the MAINTAINER-list with the new files added in the framework of
that procedure. All the snps,dw-pcie* schemas shall be maintained by the
DW PCIe core driver maintainers. Secondly seeing how long it took for my
patchsets to review and not having any comments from the original driver
maintainers I'd suggest to add myself as the reviewer to the DW PCIe and
eDMA drivers. Thus hopefully the new updates review process will be
performed with much less latencies. For the same reason I would also like
to suggest to add @Manivannan as the DW PCIe/eDMA drivers maintainer if
he isn't against that idea. What do you think about the last suggestion?

[PATCH RESEND v2 01/11] PCI: dwc: Fix port link CSR improper init if CDM check enabled

[Serge Semin]

If CDM_CHECK capability is set then the local variable 'val' will be
overwritten in the dw_pcie_setup() method in the PL_CHK register
initialization procedure. Thus further variable usage in the framework of
the PCIE_PORT_LINK_CONTROL register initialization must imply the variable
re-initialization. Alas it hasn't been taken into account in the
commit ec7b952f453c ("PCI: dwc: Always enable CDM check if
"snps,enable-cdm-check" exists"). Due to that the PCIE_PORT_LINK_CONTROL
register will be written with improper value in case if the CDM-check is
enabled. Let's fix this by re-initializing the 'val' variable with the
PCIE_PORT_LINK_CONTROL CSR content before link-mode initialization.

[PATCH RESEND v2 02/11] PCI: dwc: Fix erroneous version type test helper

[Serge Semin]

Due to an unfortunate mistake the macro function actually checks the
IP-core version instead of the IP-core version type which isn't what
originally implied. Fix it by introducing a new helper
__dw_pcie_ver_type_cmp() with the same semantic as the __dw_pcie_ver_cmp()
counterpart except it refers to the dw_pcie.type field in order to perform
the passed comparison operation.

[PATCH RESEND v2 03/11] PCI: dwc: Fix inbound iATU entries out-of-bounds warning message

[Serge Semin]

The message is printed if the number of requested inbound iATU windows
exceed the device capability. In that case the message should either refer
to the "dma-ranges" DT property or to the DMA-ranges mapping. We suggest
to use the later version as a counterpart to the just CPU-ranges mapping.
In any case the current "Dma-ranges" phrase seems incorrect.

[PATCH RESEND v2 04/11] PCI: bt1: Enable async probe type

[Serge Semin]

It's safe to enable the asyncronous probe type since the PCIe peripheral
devices probing order isn't essential for booting the system. Moreover
enabling that feature saves 0.5 seconds of bootup time if no any device
attached to the PCIe root port. It's a significant performance gain seeing
the total bootup time takes about 3 seconds.

[Serge Semin]

The dev_err_probe() method is supposed to be invoked only if any error is

the DWC PCIe host initialization error-message is printed all the time the
Baikal-T1 PCIe controller is probed even if no error actually happened.

Most likely by mistake the PORT_LINK_FAST_LINK_MODE flag unsetting was
added twice in the commit cff9244432e8 ("PCI: dwc: Ensure FAST_LINK_MODE

PCIE_PORT_LINK_CONTROL register is read, second it's cleared in the
framework of the link-mode initialization procedure. The later action is
redundant. Let's drop it.

[PATCH RESEND v2 08/11] PCI: visconti: Convert to using generic resources getter

[Serge Semin]

The generic resources request infrastructure has been recently added to
the DW PCIe core driver. Since the DT-bindings of the Toshibo Visconti
PCIe Host controller is fully compatible with the generic names set let's
convert the driver to using that infrastructure. It won't take much effort
since the low-level device driver implies the resources request only with
no additional manipulations involving them. So just drop the locally
defined clocks request procedures, activate the generic resources request
capability and make sure the mandatory resources have been requested by
the DW PCIe core driver.

[PATCH RESEND v2 09/11] MAINTAINERS: Add all generic DW PCIe RP/EP DT-schemas

[Serge Semin]

Recently the DT-schema of the DW PCIe Root Port and End-point controllers
has been refactored by detaching the common bindings into a separate
schema. The provided modification must be reflected in the MAINTAINERS
list so the patch submitters would be aware of the new files maintainers.
Let's do that by adding the maintained files wildcard pattern like
snps,dw-pcie*.yaml, which is applicable for all the old DW PCIe DT-schema
files and the new one.

This is fine, but just FYI that there's no need to rebase past -rc1
because PCI patches are applied on topic branches based on the PCI
"main" branch, typically -rc1.

Thanks for reminding about that. I am not that keen of early rc's
because there is a higher risk to catch instability in unexpected
places. Normally I wait for rc2 or newer kernel is released in order
to rebase onto that mainline kernel. I am using the Linus' master
because most of time I get to develop and submit patchsets for several
subsystems concurrently (currently it's PCIe, EDAC, net and MIPS-arch)
and having them rebased on top of each subsystem' next-branch would be
even more risky. Of course I understand that the subsystem main/topic
branches may have some conflicting changes. So normally I make sure
that the submitted changes are applicable against the subsystem trees
if/when it's necessary. (Can't deny though I forget to do that from
