Legacy ISA registers/interrupts in PCI device tree node

Legacy ISA registers/interrupts in PCI device tree node

[Gerhard Pircher]

Hi,

I wonder, if there is a recommended way to specify ISA register addresses
and interrupts for a PCI device (unlike for a PCI2ISA bridge)?
The device in question is the integrated IDE controller of the VIA686B
southbridge, which works in compatible/legacy mode and thus uses interrupts
14 and 15 of the i8259 PIC. Should the fdt contain this information or
should I hardcode the values in the platform setup code?

Thanks!

Regards,

Gerhard

Gerhard,

You could do a LOT worse than check the Pegasos.

The PCI binding describes the required way to do this.

Yes, it should, even if you don't use this in the Linux
kernel yet.

No.

Hmm, I must reread the PCI binding spec. It didn't seem to contain any
information about this.

Well, I still have to wire up the IDE interrupts in the platform setup
code, right?

You can describe address regions in "reg" that aren't
corresponding to any PCI BAR.  There is also a facility
to describe subtractive decoding (though I don't think
you need this).

Sure, if you want those interrupts to work, anyway ;-)

Yes, mimmicing the pegasos will probably work

You may need a fixup like pegasos does because that chip seems to use
14/15 even when in native mode, which is somewhat out of spec.

Cheers,
