[PATCH v5 0/4] Prepwork for non-PCIe NHI/TBT hosts
Posted by Konrad Dybcio 3 days, 9 hours ago
Currently, the NHI driver (and other parts of the TBT framework) make
multiple assumptions about the host router being a PCIe device. This
series tries to decouple them by moving the 'struct pci_device' out of
the NHI code and introduce NHI-on-PCIe-specific abstractions where
necessary (with no functional change).

The intended usage of the new nhi_probe_common() is pretty similar to
other bus frameworks (I2C, SPI, USB..), i.e.:

static int foo_bar_probe() {
        // get SoC-specifc resources (clks, regulators..)

        // power things on

        // set some implementation-specific registers

        // register NHI and all the sub-devices
        ret = nhi_probe(&my_usb4->nhi)
        ...

        // cleanup boilerplate
}

Instead of the previously-suggested aux/fauxbus, the NHI device remains
the same 'struct dev' as the PCIe/platform/[...] device that provides
it. This is in line with some other buses and it makes things easier
from the PM perspective.

Tested on:

 * USB4 (Qualcomm controller)
 * Connected to a TBT3 ASUS ProArt 27 monitor
 * Parade PS8830 on-board retimer

Changes in v5:
- Rebase atop thunderbolt.git/next and re-test on the NUC
- Link to v4: https://patch.msgid.link/20260515-topic-usb4_nonpcie_prepwork-v4-0-5c818378243e@oss.qualcomm.com

Changes in v4:
- Fold in Icelake support to pci.c to avoid exporting nhi_pci_xx()
  functions and nhi_pci_ops
- I only compile-tested this revision, since it's a purely mechanical
  moving-around of code
- Link to v3: https://patch.msgid.link/20260513-topic-usb4_nonpcie_prepwork-v3-0-b87b5e408ac7@oss.qualcomm.com

Changes in v3:
- Add missing/update affected kerneldoc
- Apply naming change suggestions
- Back out of moving tb_apple_add_links()
- Drop error log from nhi_pci_probe() calling nhi_probe()
- Unbreak some lines, touch up some change-adjacent whitespace
- Rebase on next-20260508
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260428-topic-usb4_nonpcie_prepwork-v2-0-452fb9d63f77@oss.qualcomm.com

Changes in v2:
- Make 'struct tb_nhi_pci' private, strip it of the 'struct pci_dev
  field since it can be accessed via to_pci_dev(tb_nhi_pci->nhi.dev)
- Thin out patch 1, move some of its prior contents to patch 2
- Rename nhi_pci.[ch] to pci.[ch]
- Rename nhi_probe_common() to nhi_probe()
- Squash a number of bugs discovered at runtime on x86
- Add a patch to make ops necessary to drop boilerplate checks
- Reword the error messages introduced in the last patch
- Drop RFC/RFT tags
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260309-topic-usb4_nonpcie_prepwork-v1-0-d901d85fc794@oss.qualcomm.com
