[PATCH v3 16/19] powerpc: fsl_pci, swiotlb: Move controller ops from ppc_md to controller_ops

[Daniel Axtens]

Hi Scott,

This is part of the larger set to move controller ops into a generic
structure. The original cover letter is at
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2015-March/126837.html

The commit message should have been reworded when I sent out version 2.
Apologies. Here's a more accurate summary, which will appear in v4.

powerpc: fsl_pci, swiotlb: Move controller ops from ppc_md to
controller_ops

Move the installation of DMA operations out of swiotlb's subsys
initcall, and into the generic PCI controller operations struct.

These ops are installed conditionally, based on the ppc_swiotlb_enable
global. The global can be set in two places:
 - swiotlb_detect_4g, which is always called at the arch initcall level
 - setup_pci_atmu, which is called as part of the fsl_add_bridge and
fsl_pci_syscore_do_resume. fsl_pci_syscore_do_resume is called late
enough that any changes as a result of that call will have no effect.

As such, if we test the global and set the operations as part of
fsl_add_bridge, after the call to setup_pci_atmu, we can be confident
that it will cover all the PCI implementations affected by the changes
to dma-swiotlb.c.

Regards,
Daniel
