      drivers: bus: add ARM CCI support · ed69bdd8
      Lorenzo Pieralisi authored
      On ARM multi-cluster systems coherency between cores running on
      different clusters is managed by the cache-coherent interconnect (CCI).
      It allows broadcasting of TLB invalidates and memory barriers and it
      guarantees cache coherency at system level through snooping of slave
      interfaces connected to it.
      
      This patch enables the basic infrastructure required in Linux to handle and
      programme the CCI component.
      
      Non-local variables used by the CCI management functions called by power
      down function calls after disabling the cache must be flushed out to main
      memory in advance, otherwise incoherency of those values may occur if they
      are sitting in the cache of some other CPU when power down functions
      execute. Driver code ensures that relevant data structures are flushed
      from inner and outer caches after the driver probe is completed.
      
      CCI slave port resources are linked to set of CPUs through bus masters
      phandle properties that link the interface resources to masters node in
      the device tree.
      
      Documentation describing the CCI DT bindings is provided with the patch.

      bus: introduce an Marvell EBU MBus driver · fddddb52
      Thomas Petazzoni authored
      The Marvell EBU SoCs have a configurable physical address space
      layout: the physical ranges of memory used to address PCI(e)
      interfaces, NOR flashes, SRAM and various other types of memory are
      configurable by software, through a mechanism of so-called 'address
      decoding windows'.
      
      This new driver mvebu-mbus consolidates the existing code to address
      the configuration of these memory ranges, which is spread into
      mach-mvebu, mach-orion5x, mach-mv78xx0, mach-dove and mach-kirkwood.
      
      Following patches convert each Marvell EBU SoC family to use this
      driver, therefore removing the old code that was configuring the
      address decoding windows.
      
      It is worth mentioning that the MVEBU_MBUS Kconfig option is
      intentionally added as a blind option. The new driver implements and
      exports the mv_mbus_dram_info() function, which is used by various
      Marvell drivers throughout the tree to get access to window
      configuration parameters that they require. This function is also
      implemented in arch/arm/plat-orion/addr-map.c, which ultimately gets
      removed at the end of this patch series. So, in order to preserve
      bisectability, we want to ensure that *either* this new driver, *or*
      the legacy code in plat-orion/addr-map.c gets compiled in.
      
      By making MVEBU_MBUS a blind option, we are sure that only a platform
      that does 'select MVEBU_MBUS' will get this new driver compiled
      in. Therefore, throughout the next patches that convert the Marvell
      sub-architectures one after the other to this new driver, we add the
      'select MVEBU_MBUS' and also ensure to remove plat-orion/addr-map.c
      from the build for this specific sub-architecture. This ensures that
      bisectability is preserved.
      
      Ealier versions of this driver had a DT binding, but since those were
      not yet agreed upon, they were removed. The driver still uses
      of_device_id to find the SoC specific details according to the string
      passed to mvebu_mbus_init(). The plan is to re-introduce a proper DT
      binding as a followup set of patches.
