[PATCH linux v4 00/20] FSI device driver introduction

[christopher.lee.bostic at gmail.com]

From: Chris Bostic <cbostic at us.ibm.com>

Patch Descriptions:

Patches 01-14 have been provided by Jeremy Kerr as an example of
how FSI function should be phased in. This includes the basic framework
to add FSI extensions to the Linux bus and device models.

Patch 14 was written by Jeremy Kerr contrary to what the commit
message indicates. Contains edits to the existing crc4 utilities
to handle arbitrary length input data.

Patch 15 contains minimal text formatting changes to deal with
checkpatch and git am warnings.

Patch 16 adds function to set up read/write access to a given CFAM.

Patch 17 sets up slave smode during scanning operations to allow
config space access.

Patch 18 covers implementation of the FSI GPIO master.

Patch 19 core additions for client driver registration.

Patch 20 SCOM client device driver creation


General Information:

Introduction of the IBM 'Flexible Support Interface' (FSI) bus device
driver. FSI is a high fan out serial bus consisting of a clock and a serial
data line capable of running at speeds up to 166 MHz.

This set provides the basic framework to add FSI extensions to the
Linux bus and device models. Master specific implementations are
defined to utilize the core FSI function.

This patch set does not include extended FSI function such as:
    *  Hub master support
    *  Cascaded master support
    *  Application layer hot plug notification
    *  Application layer FSI bus status interface

Common FSI terminology:

* Master
    Controller of the FSI bus.  Only the master is allowed to control the
    clock line and is the initiator of all transactions on a bus.

* Slave
    The receiver or target of a master initiated transaction.  The slave
    cannot initiate communications on a bus and must respond to any
    master requests for data.

* CFAM
    Stands for Common Field replaceable unit Access Macro.  A CFAM is an
    ASIC residing in any device requiring FSI communications. CFAMs
    consist of an array of hardware 'engines' used for various purposes.
    I2C masters, UARTs, General Purpose IO hardware are common types of
    these engines.

* Configuration Space / Table
    A table contained at the beginning of each CFAM address space.
    This table lists information such as the CFAM's ID, which engine types
    and versions it has available, as well as its addressing range.

* FSI Client driver
    A device driver that registers with the FSI core so that it can access
    devices it owns on an FSI bus.
