ppc/pnv: add XSCOM infrastructure
On a real POWER8 system, the Pervasive Interconnect Bus (PIB) serves
as a backbone to connect different units of the system. The host
firmware connects to the PIB through a bridge unit, the
Alter-Display-Unit (ADU), which gives him access to all the chiplets
on the PCB network (Pervasive Connect Bus), the PIB acting as the root
of this network.
XSCOM (serial communication) is the interface to the sideband bus
provided by the POWER8 pervasive unit to read and write to chiplets
resources. This is needed by the host firmware, OPAL and to a lesser
extent, Linux. This is among others how the PCI Host bridges get
configured at boot or how the LPC bus is accessed.
To represent the ADU of a real system, we introduce a specific
AddressSpace to dispatch XSCOM accesses to the targeted chiplets. The
translation of an XSCOM address into a PCB register address is
slightly different between the P9 and the P8. This is handled before
the dispatch using a 8byte alignment for all.
To customize the device tree, a QOM InterfaceClass, PnvXScomInterface,
is provided with a populate() handler. The chip populates the device
tree by simply looping on its children. Therefore, each model needing
custom nodes should not forget to declare itself as a child at
instantiation time.
