Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 0/4] Add ACPI support for HiSilicon PCIe Host

Effectively the ACPI version of the HiSilicon driver does not rely on
Designware as much as the DT version (that calls

dw_pcie_host_init());

however in order to do what you suggest I'd need to copy and paste

and

modify dw_pcie_rd_conf and dw_pcie_wr_conf.
Also I'd need to declare duplicate version of the functions in
pcie-hisi-common.c (if I do not want to split the object across
different paths "drivers/pci/host" and "drivers/acpi/")

Now I can do it but I thought it was more correct to pass

&dw_pcie_ops

as input pointer in DECLARE_ACPI_MCFG_FIXUP(); this is also because

future other Designware based controllers may need to support ACPI

and it

would be easier for them to reuse their DT based driver functions

Honestly I am a bit confused...

I don't think you can use the dw_pcie_ops as-is anyway, as they in
turn rely on the device driver structure, and you also don't need
those as they seem to be written for the generic case of a 32-bit
architecture that does not have enough space to map the entire
config space into MMIO. Just set up all those mapping registers from
the firmware and pass the config space base address as you'd normally
do on ACPI.

Ok thanks, I'll wait a bit to see if there is any comment on this
from other people, if not I'll rework the ACPI driver as you suggest
and remove any dependency on Designware.

Cheers
