reserve PCIe window for hotplug device on PCIe switch

reserve PCIe window for hotplug device on PCIe switch

[Eric Schwarz]

Hi,

schematic overview:
processor (MV78x60) - PCIe switch (PEX8619) - FPGA (Altera) loaded in 
userland

FDT (Flattened Device Tree):

#include "armada-xp-mv78260.dtsi"

...

soc {
     ranges = <MBUS_ID(0xf0, 0x01) 0 0 0xf1000000 0x100000   /* internal 
regs */
               MBUS_ID(0x01, 0x1d) 0 0 0xfff00000 0x100000>; /* BootROM   
     */

     pcie-mem-aperture = <0x80000000 0x50000000>;            /* window 
needs to be big enough in
                                                                 order to 
host FPGA BARs et al. */

     ...

     pcie-controller {
         status = "okay";
         pcie@1,0 { /* Port 0.0 registers */
             status = "okay";
         };
         pcie@9,0 { /* Port 2.0 registers */
             status = "okay";
         };
     };
};

Question:
Since the FPGA is not visible when the system boots how to reserve a 
256MB PCI window for non-prefetchable memory for it and 1MB io-space on 
pcie@9,0 using the FDT.
Actually in armada-xp-mv78260.dtsi (and included files respectivley) the 
window for the PCIe of the processor is big enough but I do not have 
really a clue on how to reserve a memory window (maybe soc ranges?) and 
later on assign it to an Altera FPGA (compatible attribute? and patch 
the kernel for that string?).
Thus, on boot-up the window for the PCIe switch needs to be big enough 
... but how to?

Cheers,
Eric
