In some platforms, PCIe PHY may have issues which will prevent
linkup to happen in GEN3 or higher speed. In case equalization
fails, link will fallback to GEN1.

DesignWare controller gives flexibility to disable GEN3
equalization completely or only phase 2 and 3 of equalization.

This patch enables the DesignWare driver to disable the PCIe
GEN3 equalization by enabling one of the following quirks:
- DWC_EQUALIZATION_DISABLE: To disable GEN3 equalization all
phases
I don't think Gen-3 equalization can be skipped altogether.
PCIe Spec Rev 4.0 Ver 1.0 in Section-4.2.3 has the following statement.

"All the Lanes that are associated with the LTSSM (i.e., those Lanes
that are currently operational or may be operational in the future
due to Link
Upconfigure) must participate in the Equalization procedure"

and in Section-4.2.6.4.2.1.1 it says
"Note: A transition to Recovery.RcvrLock might be used in the case
where the Downstream Port determines that Phase 2 and Phase 3 are not
needed based on the platform and channel characteristics."

Based on the above statements, I think it is Ok to skip only Phases
2&3 of equalization but not 0&1.
I even checked with our hardware engineers and it seems
DWC_EQUALIZATION_DISABLE is present only for debugging purpose in
hardware simulations and shouldn't be used on real silicon otherwise it seems.


In DesignWare manual we don't see any comment that this feature is for
debugging purpose only.
Agree and as I mentioned even I got to know about it offline.

Even if it is meant for debugging purpose, if for some reason in an SoC, Gen3/4
linkup is failing due to equalization, and if disabling equalization is helping then
IMO it is OK to do it.
Well, I don't have specific reservations to not have it. We can use this as a fall
back option.

Just to re-confirm we tested one of the NVMe device on Jatson AGX Xavier RC
with equalization disabled. We do see linkup works well in GEN3. As we have
added this feature as a platform-quirk so only platforms that required this
feature can enable it.

Curious to know...You did it because link didn't come up with equalization
enabled? or just as an experiment?


We did this, just as an experiment.
Ok. Thanks for the clarification.

Platform drivers can set these quirks via "quirk" variable of "dw_pcie"
struct.

I hadn't noticed this in the previous version - what is the
proper name
for this
register? Does it end in _RELATED?

As per SNPS databook the name of the register is "GEN3_RELATED_OFF".
It is port logic register so, to keep similarity with other port
logic registers in this file we named it as "PCIE_PORT_GEN3_RELATED".

OK.

Also is the SNPS databook publicly available? I'd be interested in
reading it.

The databook isn't openly available, sorry.
