Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 07/10] PCI: layerscape: Modify the MSIX to the
doorbell way

The layerscape platform use the doorbell way to trigger MSIX interrupt
in EP mode.

I have no problems with this patch, however...

Are you able to add to this message a reason for why you are making this
change? Did dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq not work when func_no != 0? Or did
it work yet dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq_doorbell is more efficient?

The fact is that, this driver is verified in ls1046a platform of NXP before, and ls1046a don't
support MSIX feature, so I set the msix_capable of pci_epc_features struct is false,
but in other platform, e.g. ls1088a, it support the MSIX feature, I verified the MSIX
feature in ls1088a, it is not OK, so I changed to another way. Thanks.

Right, so the existing pci-layerscape-ep.c driver never supported MSIX yet it
erroneously had a switch case statement to call dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq which
would never get used.

Now that we're adding a platform with MSIX support the existing
dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq doesn't work (for this platform) so we are adding a
different method.

Gustavo, can you confirm dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq() works for designware as it
didn't work for both me and Xiaowei?

Thanks
Kishon
