[PATCH 0/4] [SCSI] ufshcd: UFS Host Controller Driver

[Vinayak Holikatti]

From: Santosh Yaraganavi <santoshsy@xxxxxxxxx>

UFS is designed to be the most advanced specification for
both embedded and removable flash memory-based storage in mobile devices
such as smart phones and tablet computers.  The UFS standard represents
an evolutionary progression of JEDEC standards in this field, and has been
specifically tailored for mobile applications and computing systems requiring
high performance and low power consumption.  The initial data throughput for
UFS will be ~300 megabytes per second (MB/s), and the standard also supports
command queuing features to raise random read/write speeds.

To achieve the highest performance and most power efficient data
transport, UFS uses the leading industry interface standards to form its
Interconnect Layer: MIPI® Allianceâ??s M-PHY and UniProSM  specifications.
UniPro is a comprehensive specification meant to act as a universal
chip-to-chip protocol, providing a common tunnel for other protocols.
The M-PHY interface is designed as the primary physical interface (PHY layer)
for the UniPro specification, and is a high speed serial interface targeting
up to 2.9 gigabits per second (Gbps) per lane with up-scalability to 5.8Gbps
per lane.

MIPIâ??s M-PHY and UniPro specifications are optimized for mobile applications,
and are designed from the ground up for efficient power management in mobile
devices, including enabling efficient transitions between the active and power
save modes. Combined with a low active power level and a near-zero idle power
level, UFS offers the promise for significant reductions in device power
consumption.

The UFS standard adopts the well-known SCSI Architecture Model and command
protocols supporting multiple commands with command queuing features and
enabling a multi-thread programming paradigm. This differs from conventional
flash-based memory cards and embedded flash solutions which process one
command at a time, limiting random read/write access performance.
In addition, a forthcoming complementary UFS Host Controller Interface (HCI)
specification will allow system designers greater flexibility by simplifying
the involvement of the host processor in the operation of the flash storage
subsystem. The UFS HCI specification and the adoption of SCSI will provide
a well-known software programming model and enable wider market adoption.

This patchset contains PCIe based UFS host controller driver which complies
to UFSHCI 1.0 and 1.1. The driver is based on Linux SCSI framework.
The driver is tested with UFS Host controller(FPGA) and UFS device(FPGA).

This patch set is successfully applied on kernel version 3.3-rc2.
