Add an option to enable PCIe root port coalescing
Background: The PCI spec (3.0-3.2.2.3.4) requires that PCI devices
implement function 0. The Linux Kernel therefore will not enumerate
a PCI device if it does not present a valid config space at function 0.
If a board does not have anything connected to root port 0 and it is
desired to disable the unused ports in order to save power then this
will cause the other downstream PCIe devices to go missing as they
will not be enumerated.
Intel chipsets provide a way to map root port numbers to different PCI
function numbers, thereby avoiding this issue and allowing root port 0
to be turned off.
This change adds a new chip config option 'pcie_port_coalesce' that
will collapse the enabled root ports into a linear map starting at
zero. This option defaults to disabled as it can have a confusing
effect on the system as the declared static devicetree may not match
what is seen at runtime. This option is also forced on if the static
devicetree disables port 0.
When each root port is processed in the early enable stage it looks
for a lower numbered root port that has been disabled and then swaps
the two assigned function numbers.
However the mapping register is write-once so it has to keep track of
the proposed mapping changes until all ports have been processed
before writing out the final map value. At this point it also updates
the function numbers in the static device tree so they are consistent
with the new layout.
There are a few other closely related fixes in this change:
1) There is a power savings opportunity if an entire bank of ports
(0-3 or 4-7) are disabled. This was checking the chipset revision to
look for CougarPoint B1+ stepping and that was not passing on
PantherPoint where this should always be applied. To fix this I added
a function to determine the chipset type based on comparing the upper
byte of the device ID.
2) Apply the same chipset type check fix to the IOBP programming.
3) There is another power savings opportunity to enable dynamic clock
gating on shared PCIe resources which only applies to ports 0 and 4.
However if 0 or 4 is disabled then the later check to enable this
would fail as that device is already hidden.
