Lizhi,

Sorry for the delay, I am fighting with checking this with 'make 
dt_binding_check'

There is a recent failure in linux-next around display/mediatek,* 
between next-20220301 and next-20220302 that I am bisecting.

There are a couple of checkpatch --strict warnings for this set, the 
obvious one is adding to the MAINTAINERS for new files.

There's already patches for that posted.

Just use 'make -k'.

This binding is completely confusing because 'PCIe endpoint' is
generally used (in context of bindings and Linux) for describing the
endpoint's system (i.e. the internal structure of a PCIe device (e.g.
add-in card) from the view of its own processor (not the host
system)). This binding seems to be describing the host system's view
of a PCIe device. We already have that! That's just the PCI bus
binding[1] which has existed for ~25 years.

For a non-DT system, what you are going to need here is some way to
create DT nodes of the PCI bus hierarchy or at least from your device
back up to the host bridge. I would suggest you solve that problem
separately from implementing the FPGA driver by making it work first
on a DT based system.

Hi Rob,


Do you have any comment on this? We are looking for guidance on the 
approaches suggested.


Thanks,

Lizhi
