The various FSI devices (sbefifo, occ, scom, more to come) currently use misc devices. This is problematic as the minor device space for misc is limited and there can be a lot of them. Also it limits our ability to move them to a dedicated /dev/fsi directory or to be smart about device naming and numbering. It also means we have IDAs on every single of these drivers This creates a common fsi "device_type" for the optional /dev/fsi grouping and a dev_t allocator for all FSI devices. "Legacy" devices get to use a backward compatible numbering scheme (as long as chip id <16 and there's only one copy of a given unit type per chip). A single major number and a single IDA are shared for all FSI devices. This doesn't convert the FSI device drivers to use the new scheme yet, they will be converted individually.

|
---help---
|
|
This option causes char devices created for FSI devices to be
|
|
located under a common /dev/fsi/ directory. Set to N unless your
|
|
userspace has been updated to handle the new location.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, it also causes the char device names to be offset
|
|
by one so that chip 0 will have /dev/scom1 and chip1 /dev/scom2
|
|
to match old userspace expectations.
|
|
|
|
New userspace will use udev rules to generate predictable access
|
|
symlinks in /dev/fsi/by-path when this option is enabled.

This option enables a FSI hub master driver. Hub is a type of FSI

master that is connected to the upstream master via a slave. Hubs

allow chaining of FSI links to an arbitrary depth. This allows for
|

a high target device fanout.
