dm: pci: Add a uclass for PCI
Add a uclass for PCI controllers and a generic one for PCI devices. Adjust
the 'pci' command and the existing PCI support to work with this new uclass.
Keep most of the compatibility code in a separate file so that it can be
removed one day.
TODO: Add more header file comments to the new parts of pci.h

This uses +uclass_get_device_by_seq() to get the PCI bus for a particular bus number. +Bus number 0 will need to be requested first, and the alias in the device +tree file will point to the correct device: + + + aliases { + pci0 = &pci; + }; + + pci: pci-controller { + compatible = "sandbox,pci"; + ... + }; + + +If there is no alias the devices will be numbered sequentially in the device +tree. + +The call to uclass_get_device by seq() will cause the PCI bus to be probed. +This does a scan of the bus to locate available devices. These devices are +bound to their appropriate driver if available. If there is no driver, then +they are bound to a generic PCI driver which does nothing. + +After probing a bus, the available devices will appear in the device tree +under that bus. + +Note that this is all done on a lazy basis, as needed, so until something is +touched on PCI it will not be probed. + +PCI devices can appear in the device tree. If they do this serves to specify +the driver to use for the device. In this case they will be bound at +start-up. + + +Sandbox +------- + +With sandbox we need a device emulator for each device on the bus since there +is no real PCI bus. This works by looking in the device tree node for a +driver. For example: + + + pci@1f,0 { + compatible = "pci-generic"; + reg = <0xf800 0 0 0 0>; + emul@1f,0 { + compatible = "sandbox,swap-case"; + }; + }; + +This means that there is a 'sandbox,swap-case' driver at that bus position. +Note that the first cell in the 'reg' value is the bus/device/function. See +PCI_BDF() for the encoding (it is also specified in the IEEE Std 1275-1994 +PCI bus binding document, v2.1) + +When this bus is scanned we will end up with something like this: + +`- * pci-controller @ 05c660c8, 0 + `- pci@1f,0 @ 05c661c8, 63488 + `- emul@1f,0 @ 05c662c8 + +When accesses go to the pci@1f,0 device they are forwarded to its child, the +emulator. |
