I do not understand why this is done through a scan handler and to
be frank I do not see how this mechanism is supposed to be a generic
kernel layer, possibly used by other platforms, when there is no notion
in ACPI to cater for that.

As far as I am concerned this patch code should live in the Hisilicon
LPC driver - as things stand it is neither ACPI generic code nor ARM64
specific, it is code to make ACPI work like DT bindings without any ACPI
binding at all; I still have some concerns from an ACPI standpoint
below.

IIUC correctly this code is here to count resources and replace them
with kernel specific IO offsets and I think that's wrong. ACPI devices
_CRS,_PRS,_SRS are set-up by firmware and by no means should be updated
with resources that are basically Linux kernel internals specific.

The problem you are facing is there because there is no way in ACPI
to specify in FW what you want to describe but that's not a reason
to make it work by other means.

I reckon that this is wrong. You are updating ACPI device resources with
kernel specific built resources (ie IO space offsets) made by slicing up
IO space into the kernel available virtual address space offset
allocated to it.

IIUC this is done to make sure platform devices contains the
"translated" resources by the time they are probed, it is hard
to follow and again, not correct from an ACPI standpoint.

Furthermore I have no idea how this code is supposed to be used by
_any_ other platform, ACPI just has no notion of the translation you
are carrying out here (which mirrors what's done in DT without any
firmware binding to support it) so even if any other platform has
the same requirements I have no idea how people developing FW may
write their bindings to match these given that they just don't exist.

How can this be used by any other platform other than Hisilicon LPC ?

Imagine for a minute you have an ARM64 platform with an LPC bus in it
and you have to write ACPI tables to describe it, you may not want
to start by reading Linux kernel code to understand how to do it.

This code is Hisilicon specific code (ie there is no ACPI binding to
the best of my knowledge describing to FW developers an LPC binding)
and on the ACPI side it makes assumptions that I am not sure are
correct at all, see above.

So, this is done through a scan handler for what reason ? Is this
because you want this code to run before platform devices are created
by ACPI core - so that you can update their resources in the

struct indirect_pio_device_desc.pre_setup() method ?

I suspect this is yet another probing order issue to solve but that's
orthogonal to the comments I made above.

To sum it up:

(1) Creating an ARM64 ACPI standard kernel layer to parse something that is
not an ACPI (let alone ARM64) standard does not make much sense to me,
so either standard bindings are published for other partners to use
them or this code belongs to Hisilicon specific LPC bus management
(2) Even with (1), I have concerns about this patch ACPI resources
handling, I really think it is wrong to update ACPI devices
resources with something that is Linux kernel specific. I may
understand building platform devices resources according to your
LPC bus requirements but not updating ACPI device FW bindings with
resources that are basically kernel internals.

Lorenzo
