This patch adds a generic binding for MSIs (including the existing msi-parent property) enabling the description of platform devices capable of using MSIs. While MSIs are primarily distinguished by doorbell and payload, some MSI controllers (e.g. the GICv3 ITS) also use side-band information accompanying the write to identify the master which originated the MSI, to allow for sandboxing. This sideband information is non-probeable and needs to be described in the DT. Other MSI controllers may have additional configuration details which need to be described per-master. This patch adds a generic msi-parent binding document, extending the de-facto standard with a new (optional) #msi-cells which can be used to express any per-master configuration and/or sideband data. This is sufficient to describe non-hotpluggable devices. For busses where sideband data may be derived from some bus-specific master ID scheme, other properties will be required to describe the mapping.

An MSI controller may feature a number of doorbells. + +- The payload (the value written to the doorbell). + + Devices may be configured to write an arbitrary payload chosen by software. + MSI controllers may have restrictions on permitted payloads. + +- Sideband information accompanying the write. + + Typically this is neither configurable nor probeable, and depends on the path + taken through the memory system (i.e. it is a property of the combination of + MSI controller and device rather than a property of either in isolation). + + +MSI controllers: +================ + +An MSI controller signals interrupts to a CPU when a write is made to an MMIO +address by some master. An MSI controller may feature a number of doorbells. + +Required properties: +-------------------- + +- msi-controller: Identifies the node as an MSI controller. + +Optional properties: +-------------------- + +- #msi-cells: The number of cells in an msi-specifier, required if not zero. + + Typically this will encode information related to sideband data, and will + not encode doorbells or payloads as these can be configured dynamically. + + The meaning of the msi-specifier is defined by the device tree binding of + the specific MSI controller. + + +MSI clients +=========== + +MSI clients are devices which generate MSIs. For each MSI they wish to +generate, the doorbell and payload may be configured, though sideband +information may not be configurable. + +Required properties: +-------------------- + +- msi-parent: A list of phandle + msi-specifier pairs, one for each MSI + controller which the device is capable of using. + + This property is unordered, and MSIs may be allocated from any combination of + MSI controllers listed in the msi-parent property. + + If a device has restrictions on the allocation of MSIs, these restrictions + must be described with additional properties. + + When #msi-cells is non-zero, busses with an msi-parent will require + additional properties to describe the relationship between devices on the bus + and the set of MSIs they can potentially generate. + + +Example +======= + +/ { + #address-cells = <1>; + #size-cells = <1>; + + msi_a: msi-controller@a { + reg = <0xa 0xf00>; + compatible = "vendor-a,some-controller"; + msi-controller; + /* No sideband data, so #msi-cells omitted */ + }; + + msi_b: msi-controller@b { + reg = <0xb 0xf00>; + compatible = "vendor-b,another-controller"; + msi-controller; + /* Each device has some unique ID */ + #msi-cells = <1>; + }; + + msi_c: msi-controller@c { + reg = <0xb 0xf00>; + compatible = "vendor-b,another-controller"; + msi-controller; + /* Each device has some unique ID */ + #msi-cells = <1>; + }; + + dev@0 { + reg = <0x0 0xf00>; + compatible = "vendor-c,some-device"; + + /* Can only generate MSIs to msi_a */ + msi-parent = <&msi_a>; + }; + + dev@1 { + reg = <0x1 0xf00>; + compatible = "vendor-c,some-device"; + + /* + * Can generate MSIs to either A or B. + */ + msi-parent = <&msi_a>, <&msi_b 0x17>; + }; + + dev@2 { + reg = <0x2 0xf00>; + compatible = "vendor-c,some-device"; + /* + * Has different IDs at each MSI controller. + * Can generate MSIs to all of the MSI controllers. + */ + msi-parent = <&msi_a>, <&msi_b 0x17>, <&msi_c 0x53>; + }; +};
