HighPoint Linux Team ede1e6f8b4 [SCSI] hptiop: HighPoint RocketRAID 3xxx controller driver
HighPoint RocketRAID 3220/3320 series 8 channel PCI-X SATA RAID Host
Adapters.

Fixes from original submission:

Merge Andrew Morton's patches:
- Provide locking for global list
- Fix debug printks
- uninline function with multiple callsites
- coding style fixups
- remove unneeded casts of void*
- kfree(NULL) is legal
- Don't "succeed" if register_chrdev() failed - otherwise we'll later
  unregister a not-registered chrdev.
- Don't return from hptiop_do_ioctl() with the spinlock held.
- uninline __hpt_do_ioctl()

Update for Arjan van de Ven's comments:
- put all asm/ includes after the linux/ ones
- replace mdelay with msleep
- add pci posting flush
- do not set pci command reqister in map_pci_bar
- do not try merging sg elements in hptiop_buildsgl()
- remove unused outstandingcommands member from hba structure
- remove unimplemented hptiop_abort() handler
- remove typedef u32 hpt_id_t

Other updates:
- fix endianess

HIGHPOINT ROCKETRAID 3xxx RAID DRIVER (hptiop)
Controller Register Map
-------------------------
The controller IOP is accessed via PCI BAR0.
BAR0 offset Register
0x10 Inbound Message Register 0
0x14 Inbound Message Register 1
0x18 Outbound Message Register 0
0x1C Outbound Message Register 1
0x20 Inbound Doorbell Register
0x24 Inbound Interrupt Status Register
0x28 Inbound Interrupt Mask Register
0x30 Outbound Interrupt Status Register
0x34 Outbound Interrupt Mask Register
0x40 Inbound Queue Port
0x44 Outbound Queue Port
I/O Request Workflow
----------------------
All queued requests are handled via inbound/outbound queue port.
A request packet can be allocated in either IOP or host memory.
To send a request to the controller:
- Get a free request packet by reading the inbound queue port or
allocate a free request in host DMA coherent memory.
The value returned from the inbound queue port is an offset
relative to the IOP BAR0.
Requests allocated in host memory must be aligned on 32-bytes boundary.
- Fill the packet.
- Post the packet to IOP by writing it to inbound queue. For requests
allocated in IOP memory, write the offset to inbound queue port. For
requests allocated in host memory, write (0x80000000|(bus_addr>>5))
to the inbound queue port.
- The IOP process the request. When the request is completed, it
will be put into outbound queue. An outbound interrupt will be
generated.
For requests allocated in IOP memory, the request offset is posted to
outbound queue.
For requests allocated in host memory, (0x80000000|(bus_addr>>5))
is posted to the outbound queue. If IOP_REQUEST_FLAG_OUTPUT_CONTEXT
flag is set in the request, the low 32-bit context value will be
posted instead.
- The host read the outbound queue and complete the request.
For requests allocated in IOP memory, the host driver free the request
by writing it to the outbound queue.
Non-queued requests (reset/flush etc) can be sent via inbound message
register 0. An outbound message with the same value indicates the completion
of an inbound message.
User-level Interface
---------------------
The driver exposes following sysfs attributes:
NAME R/W Description
driver-version R driver version string
firmware-version R firmware version string
The driver registers char device "hptiop" to communicate with HighPoint RAID
management software. Its ioctl routine acts as a general binary interface
between the IOP firmware and HighPoint RAID management software. New management
functions can be implemented in application/firmware without modification
in driver code.
