Hi Andrew,

I am looking forward to your patch. 
If there is anything you want me to test let me know...
Does it support 32bit cards?

Br,

Johan

I am working on a custom board based on the Lite5200.
It is expanded with a PCI1410 PC Card Controller on the PCI bus.

In the history of this list I found a patch against an older kernel
version
to solve some issues:
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-embedded/2004-December/016273.html

I took the old 2.4.23 kernel and applied the patch.
I could get my 3c589 network adaptor to work.
Nice to get some feedback, Your the second person that has used it.
Is this patch available for the current 2.4.25 kernel?
It will work conceptually with 2.4.25 as I'm currently running a
relatively recent denx kernel with similar changes. I haven't
published a recent patch yet as there wasn't much feedback last
time...

I've recently done some more work on this to clean it up, for example
USB didn't work with that previous patch but they now coesist happily.

I'll look at posting a patch soon when it's merged into my shiny new GIT
tree.

Cardbus support is a problem at the moment. Not sure if it's my
hardware or a 5200 PCI configuration issue.

Apparnetly it's working in 2.6 but I haven't had time to sort this out.

IIRC, there is an errata wrt configuration cycle thru bridges.
Apparnetly it's working in 2.6 but I haven't had time to sort this out.
Is it ? not sure. I remember seeing a patch about it but it removed
the "always 32 bit access" in all cases and not just in the needed case
iirc. Make me think I forgot to sort that out ...

I've got support for this (it's in my December patch). Configuration
cycles work but some cardbus cards / drivers cause a TEA when the
device is enabled driver loads Netgear FA511), while with a prism
based WLAN card (Netcomm NP5430) I can load the firmware into the card
but it doesn't run correctly - iwconfig can cause a TEA.

I haven't had time to work out how to debug these properly - other
more important things to do.

At one stange you mentioned you had a patch from someone for cardbus
support on 2.6 - it just fixed the configuration cycle errata so I
assumed this meant the rest "just worked". Maybe that was a bad
assumption...

I've developed the following patch.
It is not tested against the last git revision (I have to update my tree
as soon as I have enough time) and I sent it to Sylvain so it may be
partially commited.

Sorry, but this patch solves (or tries to solve) several problems.
You will have to have a look at the patch manually to understand every
of the issues it tries to solve.


PCI bus initialization: If you boot the MPC5200 with u-boot without PCI
support you will end up with some linux initialization problems. It is
because of the reset process (which leaves the PCI bus in its previous
state, that is reset by default, unless u-boot touches it). It does also
need to initialize some configuration elements of the PCI bus.
+	tmp = in_be32(&pci_regs->scr);
+	tmp |= PCI_COMMAND_MASTER | PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY;
+	out_be32(&pci_regs->scr, tmp);
and
-	out_be32(&pci_regs->gscr, tmp);
+	out_be32(&pci_regs->gscr, tmp & ~MPC52xx_PCI_GSCR_PR);


Flags for hotplug: The function mpc52xx_pci_fixup_resources is called
for every PCI device (included cardbus) so if it is called from cardbus
it cannot be __init (it caused a big problem). Removing the __init is
enough.
-static void __init mpc52xx_pci_fixup_resources(struct pci_dev *dev) {
+static void mpc52xx_pci_fixup_resources(struct pci_dev *dev) {


Introduced Delay: A udelay(1) is introduced before configuration cycles.
Otherwise it crashes for me. Sylvain told me that the PCI should wait
some time after reset before it is used. I've not tested including the
delay in other parts.


Workaround for bug of MPC5200: MPC5200 has a bug with PCI type 1
configuration frames so the workaround proposed by freescale is
splitting them. Sylvain told me that some PCI cards have problems
reading or writting operations that are not 32 bits. So this code should
be rewritten a little bit. (I think I should rewrite it near in the
future).
(This is everything else in the patch).


I would thank very much to anyone that splits this patch, introduces the
workaround for the bug of MPC5200 while using only 32 bit operation on
type 0 frames, and sends it to Sylvain. (I feel like writting my Xmas
letter to Santa. XoD).

I hope this helps.
