Without forcing the PCIe core into Gen1 operation, the PCIe switch
attached directly to the PCIe port is not recognised at all. The
PCIe switch is Gen2 capable to make this issue even more puzzling.

Since you are forcing RC to work in GEN1, so you will not be able to
connect any device at GEN2 now.

Yes, There are some buggy PCIe devices which works with GEN1 only host.

So better solution should be to initialize RC by default at GEN2 or
highest speed. Further, a parameter say gen_only can be passed from
DT to force GEN1 only mode.

What do you say?

I'd rather prefer to know WHY if the RC is operating in Gen2 mode by default, I 
cannot see the PCIe switch (Pericom PI7C9X2G303) connected to it. I was unable 
to figure this out. Tim pointed out this thread [1] , so it might be related in 
some way.

[1] https://community.freescale.com/message/316162#316162

I tried switching the PCIe RC to Gen2 operation right after LinkUp by writing 
this register with 0x2 again and re-issuing the LinkUp check, which passed and 
the status register reported Gen2 operation, but then the PCIe Intel NIC 
connected to the downstream port of the Pericom switch still reported Gen1 
operation for some reason.

The pericom one is Gen2 according to it's datasheet.

I say I'd like to know the root cause of this problem. This Gen2 fix was pulled 
from one of the myriad variants of the FSL PCIe driver, so apparently this issue 
happens to other people as well. But why and how to properly fix this so the 
whole PCIe bus does operate in Gen2 mode, I cannot tell :-(

[Richard] Yes, it is. Pericom's PI7C9X2G303EL is GEN2 PCIe switch.
It had been verified on FSL's 3.0.35 releases.

[Richard] GEN2 mode had been verified in FSL 3.0.35 kernel releases before.
I don't know why it can't work in GEN2 mode in the latest kernel.
BTW, Based on for-next branch of shawn's git reops and applied Merak's patch-set,
 my PI7C9X2G303EL with intel e1000e network card plugged can't be detected at all. :(.

Yes, the i210 is PCIe v2.1 (2.5GT/s) x1 device.

Verified how? What does it mean?

Note that when I followed [1] in this manner:

1) Force GEN1 mode
2) Wait for PHY link up
3) Allow GEN2 mode
4) Start GEN2 speed change
5) Wait for PHY link up

my devices were detected and the link between pericom and mx6 was operating in 
gen2 mode. Thus I suspect we might need to start the port in Gen1 mode and 
switch to Gen2 only after link is up. Does that make sense?

I think we're still fighting some issue with resource mappings here. We also 
agreed with Tim that my patches are incomplete. I will send out a new version 
ASAP.

[Richard] Yes, it make sense regarding to the https://community.freescale.com/thread/304284.

The verification I said above means that the Pericom's PI7C9X2G303EL PCIe GEN2 switch can 
work well on 3.0.35 kernel in GEN2 mode(without GEN1 force), and hand been tested by kinds
 of PCIe EP device(GEN1: Intel e1000e network card, GEN2 xHCI USB3.0 PCIe x1 card).

Regarding to your comments why FORCE GEN1 mode in RC " Force Gen1 operation. In case the IP block
is in Gen2 operation mode, it does not detect the PCIe switch at all.",
 does the gen2 link can be set-up without force gen1 mode?

About the errata mentioned in https://community.freescale.com/thread/304284,
 the errata-SW-workaround of initialization is contained in previous Sean Cross' codes, like this.
        /*
         * From L0, initiate MAC entry to gen2 if EP/RC supports gen2.
         * Wait 2ms (LTSSM timeout is 24ms, PHY lock is ~5us in gen2).
         * If (MAC/LTSSM.state == Recovery.RcvrLock)
         * && (PHY/rx_valid==0) then pulse PHY/rx_reset. Transition
         * to gen2 is stuck
         */

[Richard] What's I said above is just curious that I encounter different phenomena at my side
With the almost same codes.

Thanks again.

Marek,

Can you split this patch out?  I found that with the PLX PEX860x PCIe
switches I have on the i.MX6 RC I needed this longer wait for link as
well, but I don't think this is related to gen1/gen2.

Thanks,

Tim

Oh, thanks for verifying this!

What I did in the end for testing purpose was I followed the thread at FSL 
community in the link above, forced the link into Gen1 mode , then waited for 
link up, then started directed gen2 switch and waited for linkup again. This 
worked and the PCIe indicated the link is in Gen2 mode.

Interestingly enough, I also implemented PCIe driver for MX6 for U-Boot (will 
submit it shortly to U-Boot ML) and use it with the Intel i210 ethernet NIC now. 
When I use the PCIe in U-Boot, I don't need the Force-Gen1 thing above. I 
suspect though, that the Gen1 setting is preserved from U-Boot, where I have 
this as well.

Is this not handling only the PHY part ? Honestly, I'm quite lost in the flurry 
of different opinions on the MX6 PCIe. Maybe you as a FSL guy could scrounge 
some internal knowledge ?

I talked to Tim about the mappings some more. It seems if the IOspace is 
disabled, everything works without hangs. If the IOspace is not disabled on the 
ethernet NICs, we get a hang.

[Richard] Take it easy, maybe there is a misunderstand between you and me.
It is handling only the PHY part.
The errata "PCIe: Clock pointers can lose sync during clock rate changes",
 I mentioned previously is discussed in 
(https://community.freescale.com/message/316162#316162) too.

Charies Powe think that the SW workaround contained in FSL BSP is not complete for the errata.
Because I couldn't reproduce this issue at my side, the complete version of the SW workaround
of this errata is not included in the BSP yet.
That's all. Thanks.

[Richard] Ok, I see. Thanks.
