This series is sent as RFC since this series is dependent on
[1] (cannot be merged before that series) and to get early review
comments.

I'll also split this series into smaller chunk when I post the
next revision.

This series is about implementing SW defined NTB using
multiple endpoint instances. This series has been tested using
2 endpoint instances in J7 connected to two DRA7 boards.

This was presented in Linux Plumbers Conference. The presentation
can be found @ [2]

This series:
  *) Add support to define endpoint function using device tree
  *) Add a specification for implementing NTB controller using
     multiple endpoint instances.
  *) Add a NTB endpoint function driver and a NTB host side PCI
     driver that follows the specification.
  *) Add support in PCIe endpoint core to support secondary
     interface.
  *) Add a device tree overlay file to configure J7 as NTB

The test setup is something like below

Here DRA72 and DRA76 could be replaced with *any* PCI host.

EP side (J7):
=============

In the kernel:
        cd /sys/kernel/config/pci_ep/
        echo 1 > controllers/d800000.pcie-ep/start
        echo 1 > controllers/d000000.pcie-ep/start

RC side (DRA7):
===============
        echo 0000:01:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.0/driver/unbind
        echo 0000:01:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ntb_hw_epf/bind
        modprobe ntb_transport
        modprobe ntb_netdev

On each of the hosts Ethernet Interface will be created.

Provide an IP address to each of the hosts:
HOST1 (dra72):
ifconfig eth2 192.168.1.2 up

HOST2 (dra76):
ifconfig eth2 192.168.1.1 up

Once this is done standard network utilities like ping or iperf can be
used.
