Thomas Petazzoni 23a5fba4d9 PCI: Introduce PCI bridge emulated config space common logic
Some PCI host controllers do not expose a configuration space for the
root port PCI bridge. Due to this, the Marvell Armada 370/38x/XP PCI
controller driver (pci-mvebu) emulates a root port PCI bridge
configuration space, and uses that to (among other things) dynamically
create the memory windows that correspond to the PCI MEM and I/O
regions.

Since we now need to add a very similar logic for the Marvell Armada
37xx PCI controller driver (pci-aardvark), instead of duplicating the
code, we create in this commit a common logic called pci-bridge-emul.

The idea of this logic is to emulate a root port PCI bridge
configuration space by providing configuration space read/write
operations, and faking behind the scenes the configuration space of a
PCI bridge. A PCI host controller driver simply has to call
pci_bridge_emul_conf_read() and pci_bridge_emul_conf_write() to
read/write the configuration space of the bridge.

By default, the PCI bridge configuration space is simply emulated by a
chunk of memory, but the PCI host controller can override the behavior
of the read and write operations on a per-register basis to do
additional actions if needed. We take care of complying with the
behavior of the PCI configuration space registers in terms of bits
that are read-write, read-only, reserved and write-1-to-clear.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
