LongTrail PCI resource assignment

[Michel Lanners]

Hi there,

On   3 Apr, this message from Michael Schmitz echoed through cyberspace:

Ahhh... ok. In that case, it's a possible value.

When looking at what OF assigned, always check the BAR value in OF's
properties; they are not necessarily all in the same order all the
time. Here's for example what I have on my machine for my Matrox:

[mlan at piglet /proc/device-tree/bandit/MTRX,Millennium at F]$ hexdump reg
0000000 0000 7800 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
0000010 0000 0000 0200 7810 0000 0000 0000 0000
0000020 0000 0000 0000 4000 4200 7814 0000 0000
0000030 0000 0000 0000 0000 0080 0000
000003c
[mlan at piglet /proc/device-tree/bandit/MTRX,Millennium at F]$ hexdump assigned-addresses
0000000 c200 7814 0000 0000 8100 0000 0000 0000
0000010 0080 0000 8200 7810 0000 0000 8080 0000
0000020 0000 0000 0000 4000
0000028

The reg property has 3 entries, where the second and third represent
BARs at 0x10 and 0x14; however, assigned-addresses has these in reverse
order...

If you look at your properties, here is their meaning:

 <flags> <bus-hi> <bus-lo> <processor> <size>

All elements are 32 bits; the BAR value is in the last byte of <flags>.
You'll see that in reg, <processor> is not set; that's because reg
represents the address requests of the device before attribution.

<bus-hi> and <bus-lo> form a 64-bit PCI bus address; on 32-bit systems,
<bus-hi> is zero. assigned-addresses is what OF gave your device.

Can you verify your OF properties, to check whether OF _really_ assigned
a region for the IO ports at 0xc00? I doubt it...

Changing the OF device tree is nice, but probably too much hassle.
The struct pci_dev, on the other hand, is vital.

Have fun!
