When PERST# is asserted once, EP configuration will be initialized.
If PERST# has been already deasserted, it isn't necessary to assert
here.

This checks whether PERST# is deasserted using PCL_PINMON register,
and adds omit controlling PERST#.

I don't quite understand this - does the EP/RC mode depend on how often
PERST# is toggled?

What is the motativation for this patch? Is it to avoid a delay during
boot, or to fix some bug? Isn't it nice to always reset the IP before
use anyway?

Should this read 'and omits controlling PERST#'?

This comment just describes what the following line does which may be
self-explanatory, perhaps a better comment would describe why we avoid
a reset.

I think of connecting this RC controller and EP based on `Linux PCI
endpoint framework' in another machine.

While this RC driver is probing, the EP driver might be also probing and
configurating itself using configfs. If PERST# is toggled after the EP
has done its configuration, this configuration will be lost.

I expect that the EP configurates after RC has toggled PERST#, however,
there is no way to synchronize both of them.

Since EP device usually works without its configuration after PERST#,
deassering PERST# here is no problem. Since bus reset breaks configuration
of EP as shown above, bus reset should be done before EP has probed.
Maybe boot sequence in host machine will do.

OK I understand where you are coming from now. Please ensure the commit
message gives this rationale.

However, If I understand correctly, doesn't your solution only work some
of the time? What happens if you boot both machines at the same time,
and PERST# isn't asserted prior to the kernel booting?

The only way you can ensure the EP is started after the RC is initialised
is to start the EP after the RC is initialised.

I'm not sure what the solution is here, but it feels like this approach
only partially solves it.

I'll explain about that in the commit message next.

I think it contains an annoying problem.

If PERST# isn't toggled prior to the kernel booting, PERST# remains asserted
and the RC driver can't access PCI bus.

As a result, this patch works and deasserts PERST# (and EP configuration will
be lost). So boot sequence needs to include deasserting PERST#.

Yes, it's the only soution for now.

Surely relying on outside of the driver doesn't seem to be a complete solution.

If there is the way that `Linux PCI endpoint framework' assumes,
I'd like to follow it, however, I can't find the other way.

Indeed, this must be a common problem - many host controller drivers in the
tree toggle perst on start up.

Keen for any feedback from Kishon on this.

I am sorry but I have lost you. Can you explain to us why checking
that PERST# is deasserted guarantees you that:

- The EP has bootstrapped
- It is safe not to toggle it again (and also skip
  uniphier_pcie_ltssm_enable())

Please provide details of the HW configuration so that we understand
what's actually supposed to happen and why this patch fixes the
issue you are facing.

I tried to connect between the following boards, and do pci-epf-test:
 - "RC board": UniPhier ld20 board that has DWC RC controller
 - "EP board": UniPhier legacy board that has DWC EP controller

This EP has power-on-state configuration, but it's necessary to set
class ID, BAR sizes, etc. after starting up.

In case of that starting up RC board before EP board, the RC driver
can't establish link. So we need to boot EP board first.

 - EP/RC: power on both boards

 - EP: start up the kernel on EP board

 - EP: according to the following guide, configurate pci-epf-test
      https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/PCI/endpoint/pci-test-howto.html

 - RC: start up the kernel on RC board

At that time, because RC driver toggled PERST#, the EP configuration
values are initialized to the power on state. After that, RC can't
access EP collectly.

I think there is a following solution:

 - EP/RC: power on both boards

 - RC: [deassert PERST# by boot firmware]

 - EP: start up the kernel on EP board

 - EP: configurate pci-epf-test

 - RC: start up the kernel on RC board [without toggling PERST# by this patch]

Deasserting PERST# before EP configuration avoids the issue, however,
this relies on boot firmware, so I think this isn't enough to solve
the issue.

Thank you,

At that point, I've considered why RC can't establish link,
and found that the waitng time was too short.

- EP/RC: power on both boards

- RC: start up the kernel on RC board

- RC: wait for link up (long time enough)

- EP: start up the kernel on EP board

- EP: configurate pci-epf-test

When the endpoint  configuration is done and the EP driver enables LTSSM,
the RC driver will quit from waiting for link up.

Currently DWC RC driver calls dwc_pcie_wait_for_link(), however,
the function tries to link up 10 times only, that is defined
as LINK_WAIT_MAX_RETRIES in pcie-designware.h, it's too short
to configurate the endpoint.

Now the patch to bypass PERST# is not necessary.

Instead for DWC RC drivers, I think that the number of retries
should be changed according to the usage.
And the same issue remains with other RC drivers.

Thank you,

If EP is configured using Linux, then PERST# cannot be used as it's 
difficult to boot linux and initialize EP within the specified time 
interval. Can't you prevent PERST from being propagated at all?

Surely it might be difficult for RC to decide the time to wait for EP.
Since RC almost toggles PERST# in boot time, I'd like to think about
how to prevent from first PERST# at least.

It can be prevented in the HW (If that's possible). I modify the cable 
connecting RC and EP to not propagate PERST#.

I understand. Although it's possible in case of a cable,
in case of an edge connector, EP side needs hardware mechanism not to propagate PERST#.
