2015-10-23ARM: mvebu: add broken-idle optionVincent Donnefort
The broken-idle option can be activated from the coherency-fabric DT node. This property allows to disable the idle capability, when the hardware doesn't support it, like the Seagate Personal Cloud boards.

2014-04-24ARM: mvebu: add Armada 38x support to the coherency codeThomas Petazzoni
The Armada 38x has a coherency unit that is similar to the one of the Armada 375 SoC, except that it does not have the bug of the Armada 375 coherency unit that requires the XOR based workaround. This commit therefore extends the Marvell EBU coherency code with a new compatible string to support the Armada 38x coherency unit.

2014-04-24ARM: mvebu: add Armada 375 support to the coherency codeThomas Petazzoni
The Armada 375, like the Armada 370 and Armada XP, has a coherency unit. However, unlike the coherency unit of 370/XP which does both CPU and I/O coherency, the one on Armada 735 only does I/O coherency. Therefore, instead of having two sets of registers (the first one being used mainly to register each CPU in the coherency fabric, the second one being used for the I/O coherency barrier), it has only one set of register (for the I/O coherency barrier). This commit adds a new "marvell,armada-375-coherency-fabric" compatible string for this variant of the coherency fabric. The custom DMA operations, and the way of triggering an I/O barrier is the same as Armada 370/XP, so the code changes are minimal. However, the set_cpu_coherent() function is not needed on Armada 375 and will not work.

2014-04-24ARM: mvebu: prepare coherency code to support more SOCsThomas Petazzoni
The code that handles the coherency fabric of Armada 370 and Armada XP in arch/arm/mach-mvebu/coherency.c made the assumption that there was only one type of coherency fabric. Unfortunately, it turns out that upcoming SoCs have a slightly different coherency unit. In preparation to the introduction of the coherency support for more SoCs, this commit: * Introduces a data associated to the compatible string in the compatible string match table, so that the code can differantiate the variant of coherency unit being used. * Separates the coherency unit initialization code into its own function.

2012-11-21arm: mvebu: Add hardware I/O Coherency supportGregory CLEMENT
Armada 370 and XP come with an unit called coherency fabric. This unit allows to use the Armada 370/XP as a nearly coherent architecture. The coherency mechanism uses snoop filters to ensure the coherency between caches, DRAM and devices. This mechanism needs a synchronization barrier which guarantees that all the memory writes initiated by the devices have reached their target and do not reside in intermediate write buffers. That's why the architecture is not totally coherent and we need to provide our own functions for some DMA operations. Beside the use of the coherency fabric, the device units will have to set the attribute flag of the decoding address window to select the accurate coherency process for the memory transaction. This is done each device driver programs the DRAM address windows. The value of the attribute set by the driver is retrieved through the orion_addr_map_cfg struct filled during the early initialization of the platform.

2012-11-21arm: mvebu: Add support for coherency fabric in mach-mvebuGregory CLEMENT
The Armada 370 and Armada XP SOCs have a coherency fabric unit which is responsible for ensuring hardware coherency between all CPUs and between CPUs and I/O masters. This patch provides the basic support needed for SMP.
