Kishon Vijay Abraham I 42fc2ac6e8 Documentation: PCI: Add specification for the *PCI test* function device
Add specification for the *PCI test* virtual function device. The endpoint
function driver and the host PCI driver should be created based on this
specification.

PCI TEST
Kishon Vijay Abraham I <kishon@ti.com>
Traditionally PCI RC has always been validated by using standard
PCI cards like ethernet PCI cards or USB PCI cards or SATA PCI cards.
However with the addition of EP-core in linux kernel, it is possible
to configure a PCI controller that can operate in EP mode to work as
a test device.
The PCI endpoint test device is a virtual device (defined in software)
used to test the endpoint functionality and serve as a sample driver
for other PCI endpoint devices (to use the EP framework).
The PCI endpoint test device has the following registers:
1) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_MAGIC
2) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_COMMAND
3) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_STATUS
4) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_SRC_ADDR
5) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_DST_ADDR
6) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_SIZE
7) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_CHECKSUM
*) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_MAGIC
This register will be used to test BAR0. A known pattern will be written
and read back from MAGIC register to verify BAR0.
*) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_COMMAND:
This register will be used by the host driver to indicate the function
that the endpoint device must perform.
Bitfield Description:
Bit 0 : raise legacy IRQ
Bit 1 : raise MSI IRQ
Bit 2 - 7 : MSI interrupt number
Bit 8 : read command (read data from RC buffer)
Bit 9 : write command (write data to RC buffer)
Bit 10 : copy command (copy data from one RC buffer to another
RC buffer)
*) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_STATUS
This register reflects the status of the PCI endpoint device.
Bitfield Description:
Bit 0 : read success
Bit 1 : read fail
Bit 2 : write success
Bit 3 : write fail
Bit 4 : copy success
Bit 5 : copy fail
Bit 6 : IRQ raised
Bit 7 : source address is invalid
Bit 8 : destination address is invalid
*) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_SRC_ADDR
This register contains the source address (RC buffer address) for the
COPY/READ command.
*) PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST_DST_ADDR
This register contains the destination address (RC buffer address) for
the COPY/WRITE command.
