In DRA7, the cpu sees 32bit address, but the pcie controller can see only 28bit
address. So whenever the cpu issues a read/write request, the 4 most
significant bits are used by L3 to determine the target controller.
For example, the cpu reserves 0x2000_0000 - 0x2FFF_FFFF for PCIe controller but
the PCIe controller will see only (0x000_0000 - 0xFFF_FFF). So for programming
the outbound translation window the *base* should be programmed as 0x000_0000.
Whenever we try to write to say 0x2000_0000, it will be translated to whatever
we have programmed in the translation window with base as 0x000_0000.

Sorry, but NAK.

We have a standard 'dma-ranges' property to handle this, so use it.

See the x-gene PCIe driver patches for an example. Please also talk
to Santosh about it, as he is implementing generic support for
parsing dma-ranges in platform devices at the moment.
Hi Arnd,

Do you mean the following patch?
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg1737725.html
That is the patch Santosh did for platform devices, which is related but not
what I meant here. For the PCI inbound window setup, please have a look
at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/19/607
Do you think it can be used for *outbound* window setup too? The problem is the
*ranges* property defines both the pci address and cpu address which should
have been enough to program the ob translation window, but the hw is designed
so that the controller sees only the 28 bits. (The most significant 4 bits is
for the l3 to address the controller).
I'm not following what the problem is. You should always be able to describe
in the inbound window (that is from the CPU perspective) using dma-ranges
and the outbound window using ranges.

If you have a case where the outbound translation is a 256MB (i.e. 28bit)
section of the CPU address space, that could be represented as

	ranges = <0x82000000 0 0  0xb0000000  0 0x10000000>;

or 

	ranges = <0x82000000 0 0xb0000000  0xb0000000  0 0x10000000>;

depending on whether you want the BARs to be programmed using a low
address 0x0-0x0fffffff or an address matching the window
0xb0000000-0xbfffffff.

	Arnd
