Add a PCI driver that handles the LAN966x PCI device using a device-tree overlay. This overlay is applied to the PCI device DT node and allows to describe components that are present in the device. The memory from the device-tree is remapped to the BAR memory thanks to "ranges" properties computed at runtime by the PCI core during the PCI enumeration. The PCI device itself acts as an interrupt controller and is used as the parent of the internal LAN966x interrupt controller to route the interrupts to the assigned PCI INTx interrupt.Not entirely sure why this is in MFD.This PCI driver purpose is to instanciate many other drivers using a DT overlay. I think MFD is the right subsystem.It is a Multi-function Device, but it doesn't appear to use any of the MFD subsystem. So maybe drivers/soc/? Another dumping ground, but it is a driver for an SoC exposed as a PCI device.
In drivers/soc, drivers/soc/microchip/ could be the right place. Conor, are you open to have the PCI LAN966x device driver in drivers/soc/microchip/ ? Best regards, Hervé
