PCI: fix X server auto probe fail when both ast and etnaviv drm present
According to PCI-to-PCI bridge spec, bit 3 of Bridge Control Register is VGA Enable bit which modifies the response by the bridge to VGA compatible addresses. The Bridge Control register provides extensions to the Command register that are specific to a bridge. The Bridge Control register provides many of the same controls for the secondary interface that are provided by the Command register for the primary interface. There are some bits that affect the operation of both interfaces of the bridge. If the VGA Enable bit is set, the bridge will positively decode and forward the following accesses on the primary interface to the secondary interface (and, conversely, block the forwarding of these addresses from the secondary to primary interface) Forwarding of these accesses is qualified by the I/O Enable and Memory Enable bits in the Command register.) The default state of this bit after reset must be 0. Bit 3 of Bridge Control Register is VGA Enable bit which modifies the response by the bridge to VGA compatible addresses. when 0: do not forward VGA compatible memory and I/O addresses from the primary to secondary interface (addresses defined below) unless they are enabled for forwarding by the defined I/O when 1: forward VGA compatible memory and I/O addresses (addresses defined below) from the primary interface to the secondary interface (if the I/O Enable and Memory Enable bits are set) independent of the I/O and memory address ranges and independent of the ISA Enable bit * memory accesses in the range 000A 0000h to 000B FFFFh * I/O addresses in the first 64 KB of the I/O address space (AD[31:16] are 0000h) where AD[9:: 0] are in the ranges 3B0h to 3BBh and 3C0h to 3DFh (inclusive of ISA address aliases - AD[15::10] are not decoded) If the VGA Enable bit is set, forwarding of these accesses is independent of the I/O address range and memory address ranges defined by the I/O Base and Limit registers, the Memory Base and Limit registers, and the Prefetchable Memory Base and Limit registers of the bridge. Forwarding of these accesses is also independent of the settings of the ISA Enable bit (in the Bridge Control register) or VGA Palette Snoop bits (in the Command register). The AST2500 hardware we are using do not set the VGA Enable bit on its bridge control reg, this cause vgaarb subsystem don't think the VGA card behind this pridge as a valid boot vga device which made X server choose wrong video card to use when multiple video card present in the system. Its seems more vgaarb's fault than the ast2500 bmc itself. even through bit 3 of Bridge Control Register is 0, it should still allow to forward the accesses when the addresses is in the range of IO/MEM Base and Limit registers. Nevertheless, in order to support loongson CPU product line, we provide a workaround to this bug for the Sugon L620-G30 and Sugon L820-G30 server. see similar bug: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-pci/patch/[email protected]/ Signed-off-by: suijingfeng <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Yanteng Si <[email protected]>
