As I explained before: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210716132208.3cd8f404@coco.lan/ the only way of doing that without modifying the PHY core and doing ugly hacks is to not split Kirin 960 PHY from the pcie-kirin driver. So, the approach I took was to make the core code at the pcie-kirin driver generic, ensuring that the internal PHY code is self-contained. Then, I added support for using a PHY from drivers/phy. This way, the DT schema for Kirin 960 won't be touched. The patch series is at: https://github.com/mchehab/linux/commits/pcie-alternate Now, this is the only pending issue on my TODO list: Em Thu, 15 Jul 2021 08:37:09 +0200 Mauro Carvalho Chehab escreveu: > > > > > + reset-gpios: > > > > > + description: PCI PERST reset GPIOs > > > > > + maxItems: 4 > > > > > > > > Hiding the 4 ports in the phy? > > > > > > Rob, > > > > > > I'm not trying to hide anything. > > > > > > There are several differences with regards to how PERST# is handled between > > > HiKey 960 and HiKey 970. > > > > > > From hardware perspective, you can see the schematics of both boards: > > > > > > https://github.com/96boards/documentation/raw/master/consumer/hikey/hikey960/hardware-docs/HiKey960_SoC_Reference_Manual.pdf > > > https://www.96boards.org/documentation/consumer/hikey/hikey970/hardware-docs/files/hikey970-schematics.pdf > > > > > > The 960 PHY has the SoC directly connected to a PCIE M.2 slot > > > (model 10130616) without any external bridge chipset.

At the patch series I mentioned, I'm keeping the PERST# signals as part of the PHY layer, just because DT currently produces a warning if maxItems > 1 for gpio-resets for PCI bus. In the case it was decided to allow the PCI bus to have more than one PERST# pin, I already sent a patch to DT-schema: https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/pull/56 But I'll need to change the patch series to consider such approach, if this will be the case. So, please let me know how do you prefer to proceed with that. Thanks! Mauro
