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.

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.htmlThat 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). Thanks Kishon
