[ Upstream commit ae18dcdff0f8d7e84cd3fd9f496518b5e72d185d ]

When eisa_driver_register() or tc_register_driver() failed,
the modprobe defxx would fail with some err log as follows:

 Error: Driver 'defxx' is already registered, aborting...

Fix this issue by adding err hanling in dfx_init().

Some reasons why this API should be removed have been given by Julia

The skfddi driver has a private ioctl and passes the data correctly
through ifr_data, but the use of a pointer in s_skfp_ioctl is
broken in compat mode.

Change the driver to use ndo_siocdevprivate and disallow calling
it in compat mode until a conversion handler is added.

<title>FDDI: defxx: Use driver's name with resource requests</title>

Replace repeated "defxx" strings with a reference to the DRV_NAME macro
and then use the driver's name rather that the bus address with resource
requests so as to have contents of /proc/iomem and /proc/ioports more
meaningful to the user, in line with what drivers usually do.

So rather than say:

5000-50ff : DEC FDDIcontroller/EISA Adapter
  5000-503f : 00:05
  5040-5043 : 00:05
5400-54ff : DEC FDDIcontroller/EISA Adapter
5800-58ff : DEC FDDIcontroller/EISA Adapter
5c00-5cff : DEC FDDIcontroller/EISA Adapter
  5c80-5cbf : 00:05

or:

620c080020000-620c08002007f : 0031:02:04.0
  620c080020000-620c08002007f : 0031:02:04.0
620c080030000-620c08003ffff : 0031:02:04.0

or:

1f100000-1f10003f : tc2

we report:

5000-50ff : DEC FDDIcontroller/EISA Adapter
  5000-503f : defxx
  5040-5043 : defxx
5400-54ff : DEC FDDIcontroller/EISA Adapter
5800-58ff : DEC FDDIcontroller/EISA Adapter
5c00-5cff : DEC FDDIcontroller/EISA Adapter
  5c80-5cbf : defxx

and:

620c080020000-620c08002007f : 0031:02:04.0
  620c080020000-620c08002007f : defxx
620c080030000-620c08003ffff : 0031:02:04.0

<title>FDDI: defxx: Implement dynamic CSR I/O address space selection</title>
<updated>2021-03-10T21:08:15+00:00</updated>

<id>795e272e54746e97fde54454873d384d5012cc9d</id>
<content type='text'>
Recent versions of the PCI Express specification have deprecated support
for I/O transactions and actually some PCIe host bridges, such as Power
Systems Host Bridge 4 (PHB4), do not implement them.  Conversely a DEFEA
adapter can have its MMIO decoding disabled with ECU (EISA Configuration
Utility) and therefore not available for us with the resource allocation
infrastructure we implement.

However either I/O address space will always be available for use with
the DEFEA (EISA) and DEFPA (PCI) adapters and both have double address
decoding implemented in hardware for Control and Status Register access.
The two kinds of adapters can be present both at once in a single mixed
PCI/EISA system.  For the DEFTA (TURBOchannel) variant there is no issue
as there has been no port I/O address space defined for that bus.

To make people's life easier and the driver more robust remove the
DEFXX_MMIO configuration option so as to rather than making the choice
for the I/O address space to use at build time for all the adapters
installed in the system let the driver choose the most suitable address
space dynamically on a case-by-case basis at run time.  Make MMIO the
default and resort to port I/O should the default fail for some reason.

This way multiple adapters installed in one system can use different I/O
address spaces each, in particular in the presence of DEFEA adapters in
a pure-EISA or a mixed EISA/PCI system (it is expected that DEFPA boards
will use MMIO in normal circumstances).

The choice of the I/O address space to use continues being reported by
the driver on startup, e.g.:

eisa 00:05: EISA: slot 5: DEC3002 detected
defxx: v1.12 2021/03/10  Lawrence V. Stefani and others
00:05: DEFEA at I/O addr = 0x5000, IRQ = 10, Hardware addr = 00-00-f8-c8-b3-b6
00:05: registered as fddi0

and:

defxx: v1.12 2021/03/10  Lawrence V. Stefani and others
0031:02:04.0: DEFPA at MMIO addr = 0x620c080020000, IRQ = 57, Hardware addr = 00-60-6d-93-91-98
0031:02:04.0: registered as fddi0

and:

defxx: v1.12 2021/03/10  Lawrence V. Stefani and others
tc2: DEFTA at MMIO addr = 0x1f100000, IRQ = 21, Hardware addr = 08-00-2b-b0-8b-1e
tc2: registered as fddi0

so there is no need to add further information.

The change is supposed to cause a negligible performance hit as I/O
accessors will now have code executed conditionally at run time.

and:

defxx: v1.12 2021/03/10  Lawrence V. Stefani and others
0031:02:04.0: DEFPA at MMIO addr = 0x620c080020000, IRQ = 57, Hardware addr = 00-60-6d-93-91-98
0031:02:04.0: registered as fddi0

and:

defxx: v1.12 2021/03/10  Lawrence V. Stefani and others
tc2: DEFTA at MMIO addr = 0x1f100000, IRQ = 21, Hardware addr = 08-00-2b-b0-8b-1e
tc2: registered as fddi0

so there is no need to add further information.

The change is supposed to cause a negligible performance hit as I/O
accessors will now have code executed conditionally at run time.

Recent versions of the PCI Express specification have deprecated support
for I/O transactions and actually some PCIe host bridges, such as Power
Systems Host Bridge 4 (PHB4), do not implement them.

The default kernel configuration choice for the defxx driver is the use
of I/O ports rather than MMIO for PCI and EISA systems.  It may have
made sense as a conservative backwards compatible choice back when MMIO
operation support was added to the driver as a part of TURBOchannel bus
support.  However nowadays this configuration choice makes the driver
unusable with systems that do not implement I/O transactions for PCIe.

Make DEFXX_MMIO the configuration default then, except where configured
for EISA.  This exception is because an EISA adapter can have its MMIO
decoding disabled with ECU (EISA Configuration Utility) and therefore
not available with the resource allocation infrastructure we implement,
while port I/O is always readily available as it uses slot-specific
addressing, directly mapped to the slot an option card has been placed
in and handled with our EISA bus support core.  Conversely a kernel that
supports modern systems which may not have I/O transactions implemented
for PCIe will usually not be expected to handle legacy EISA systems.

The change of the default will make it easier for people, including but
not limited to distribution packagers, to make a working choice for the
driver.

Update the option description accordingly and while at it replace the
potentially ambiguous PIO acronym with IOP for "port I/O" vs "I/O ports"
according to our nomenclature used elsewhere.
