[PATCH v1 0/2] Skip waiting for link up during probe

[Sajid Dalvi]

When the Root Complex is probed, the default behavior is to spin in a loop
waiting for the link to come up. In some systems the link is not brought up
during probe, but later in the context of an end-point turning on. This
patch adds a device tree property to the Synopsis designware root
controller to skip this loop.

Thank you for your patch. There is something to discuss/improve.

I fail to see how probe behavior is related to properties of hardware.
You describe OS behavior, not hardware. This does not look like
belonging to DT.

If I understand you correctly, the usage of probe is misleading
because it doesn't have anything to do with the hardware.
So your recommendation is to replace probe with device init, in the
description of the property and the commit message?

No, I asked there a question for which we need answer.

device init is also OS task... You need to explain why this is a
property of hardware, not OS behavior.

Actually let's be clearer - your cover letter says:
"In some systems the link is not brought up
during probe, but later in the context of an end-point turning on. (...)
to skip this loop."

so this is pure Linux OS stuff. You just want to control driver behavior
from DT. Not at all DT property.

Krzysztof

[PATCH v1 2/2] PCI: dwc: Skip waiting for link up on probe

[Sajid Dalvi]

When the Root Complex is probed, the default behavior is to spin in a loop
waiting for the link to come up. In some systems the link is not brought up
during probe, but later in the context of an end-point turning on.

Call trace:
dw_pcie_wait_for_link << spins in a loop for 1 second
dw_pcie_host_init

Adding the snps,skip-wait-link-up property in the pcie device tree node
will skip this loop and save 1 second per interface on pcie probe for
systems that do not need to bring up the link this early in the boot
sequence.
