By the way, it's my another email account use when i at home.I tried, and there need some additional changes. isa@a01b0000 { /*the node name should start with "isa", because of below definition * static int of_bus_isa_match(struct device_node *np) * { * return !strcmp(np->name, "isa"); * }Looks good. It would be nicer to match on device_type than on name, but this is ancient code and it's probably best not to touch it so we don't accidentally break some old SPARC or PPC system.quoted
*/ compatible = "low-pin-count"; device_type = "isa"; #address-cells = <2>; #size-cells = <1>; reg = <0x0 0xa01b0000 0x0 0x10000>; ranges = <0x1 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x1000>; /* * ranges is required, then i can get the IORESOURCE_IO <0xe4,4> from "reg = <0x1, 0x000000e4, 4>". * */ ipmi_0:ipmi@000000e4{ device_type = "ipmi"; compatible = "ipmi-bt"; reg = <0x1 0x000000e4 0x4>; };This looks wrong: the property above says that the I/O port range is translated to MMIO address 0x00000000 to 0x00010000, which is not true on your hardware. I think this needs to be changed in the code so the ranges property is not required for I/O ports.quoted
drivers\of\address.c static int __of_address_to_resource(struct device_node *dev, const __be32 *addrp, u64 size, unsigned int flags, const char *name, struct resource *r) { u64 taddr; if ((flags & (IORESOURCE_IO | IORESOURCE_MEM)) == 0) return -EINVAL; taddr = of_translate_address(dev, addrp); if (taddr == OF_BAD_ADDR) return -EINVAL; memset(r, 0, sizeof(struct resource)); if (flags & IORESOURCE_IO) { unsigned long port; /*****************************************************************/ /*legacy port(< 0x1000) is reserved, and need no translation here*/ /*****************************************************************/ if(taddr + size < PCIBIOS_MIN_IO){ r->start = taddr; r->end = taddr + size - 1; }I don't like having a special case based on the address here, the same kind of hack might be needed for PCI I/O spaces in hardware that uses an indirect method like your LPC bus does, and the code above will not work on any LPC implementation that correctly multiplexes its I/O ports with the first PCI domain. I think it would be better to avoid translating the port into a physical address to start with just to translate it back into a port number, what we need instead is the offset between the bus specific port number and the linux port number. I've added Liviu to Cc, he wrote this code originally and may have some idea of how we could do that.Hi,Hi Liviu, Thanks for reviewing this.quoted
Getting back to work after a longer holiday, my brain might not be running at full speed here, so I'm trying to clarify things a bit here. It looks to me like Rongrong is trying to trap the inb()/outb() calls that he added to arm64 by patch 1/3 and redirect those operations to the memory mapped LPC driver. I think the whole redirection and registration of inb/outb ops can be made cleaner, so that the general concept resembles the DMA ops registration? (I have this mental picture that what Rongrong is trying to do is similar to what a DMA engine does, except this is slowing down things to byte level). If that is done properly in the parent node, then we should not care what the PCIBIOS_MIN_IO value is as the inb()/outb() calls will always go through the redirection for the children. As for the ranges property: does he wants the ipmi-bt driver to see in the reg property the legacy ISA I/O ports values or the CPU addresses? If the former, then I agree that the range property should not be required, but also the reg values need to be changed (drop the top bit). If the later, then the ranges property is required to do the proper translation.The former, thanks.quoted
Rongrong, removing the ranges property and with a reg = <0xe4 0x4> property in the ipmi-bt node, what IO_RESOURCE type resources do you get back from the of_address_to_resource() translation?I want to get IORESOURCE_IO type resource, but if the parent node drop the "rangs" property, the of_address_to_resource() translation will return with -EINVAL.
Have you tracked what part of the code is sensitive to the presence of "ranges" property? Does of_get_address() call returns the IO_RESOURCE flag set without "ranges"? Best regards, Liviu
