+The U-Boot Driver Model Project
+===============================
+PCI subsystem analysis
+======================
+

+
+I) Overview
+-----------
+
+ U-Boot already supports multiple PCI busses, stored in a linked-list of
+ pci_controller structures. This structure contains generic driver data, bus
+ interface operations and private data for the driver.
+
+ Bus interface operations for PCI are (names are self-explanatory):
+
+ read_byte()
+ read_word()
+ read_dword()
+ write_byte()
+ write_word()
+ write_dword()
+
+ Each driver has to implement dword operations, and either implement word and
+ byte operations, or use shared $operation_config_$type_via_dword (eg.
+ read_config_byte_via_dword and similar) function. These functions are used
+ for config space I/O (read_config_dword and similar functions of the PCI
+ subsystem), which is used to configure the connected devices for standard MMIO
+ operations. All data transfers by respective device drivers are then done by
+ MMIO
+
+ Each driver also defines a separate init function, which has unique symbol
+ name, and thus more drivers can be compiled in without colliding. This init
+ function is typically called from pci_init_board(), different for each
+ particular board.
+
+ Some boards also define a function called fixup_irq, which gets called after
+ scanning the PCI bus for devices, and should dismiss any interrupts.
+
+ Several drivers are also located in arch/ and should be moved to drivers/pci.
+
+II) Approach
+------------
+
+ The pci_controller structure needs to be broken down to fit the new driver
+ model. Due to a large number of members, this will be done through three
+ distinct accessors, one for memory regions, one for config table and one for
+ everything else. That will make the pci_ops structure look like this:
+
+ struct pci_ops {
+ int (*read_byte)(struct instance *bus, pci_dev_t *dev, int addr,
+ u8 *buf);
+ int (*read_word)(struct instance *bus, pci_dev_t *dev, int addr,
+ u16 *buf);
+ int (*read_dword)(struct instance *bus, pci_dev_t *dev, int addr,
+ u32 *buf);
+ int (*write_byte)(struct instance *bus, pci_dev_t *dev, int addr,
+ u8 val);
+ int (*write_byte)(struct instance *bus, pci_dev_t *dev, int addr,
+ u8 val);
+ int (*write_dword)(struct instance *bus, pci_dev_t *dev, int addr,
+ u32 val);
+ void (*fixup_irq)(struct instance *bus, pci_dev_t *dev);
+ struct pci_region* (*get_region)(struct instance *, uint num);
+ struct pci_config_table* (*get_cfg_table)(struct instance *bus);
+ uint (*get_option)(struct instance * bus, enum pci_option_code op);
+ }
+
+ enum pci_option_code {
+ PCI_OPT_BUS_NUMBER=0,
+ PCI_OPT_REGION_COUNT,
+ PCI_OPT_INDIRECT_TYPE,
+ PCI_OPT_AUTO_MEM,
+ PCI_OPT_AUTO_IO,
+ PCI_OPT_AUTO_PREFETCH,
+ PCI_OPT_AUTO_FB,
+ PCI_OPT_CURRENT_BUS,
+ PCI_OPT_CFG_ADDR,
+ }
+
+ The return value for get_option will be an unsigned integer value for any
+ option code. If the option currently is a pointer to pci_region, it will
+ return an index for get_region function. Special case has to be made for
+ PCI_OPT_CFG_ADDR, which should be interpreted as a pointer, but it is only
+ used for equality in find_hose_by_cfg_addr, and thus can be returned as an
+ uint. Other function using cfg_addr value are read/write functions for
+ specific drivers (especially ops for indirect bridges), and thus have access
+ to private_data of the driver instance.
+
+ The config table accessor will return a pointer to a NULL-terminated array of
+ pci_config_table, which is supplied by the board in platform_data, or NULL if
+ the board didn't specify one. This table is used to override PnP
+ auto-initialization, or to specific initialization functions for non-PNP
+ devices.
+
+ Transparent PCI-PCI bridges will get their own driver, and will forward all
+ operations to operations of their parent bus. This however makes it
+ impossible to use instances to identify devices, as not all devices will be
+ directly visible to the respective bus driver.
+
+ Init functions of controller drivers will be moved to their respective
+ probe() functions, in accordance to the driver model.
+
+ The PCI core will handle all mapping functions currently found in pci.c, as
+ well as proxy functions for read/write operations of the drivers. The PCI
+ core will also handle bus scanning and device configuration.
+
+ The PnP helper functions currently in pci_auto.c will also be a part of PCI
+ core, but they will be exposed only to PCI controller drivers, not to other
+ device drivers.
+
+ The PCI API for device drivers will remain largely unchanged, most drivers
+ will require no changes at all, and all modifications will be limited to
+ changing the pci_controlle into instance*.
