On platforms with two or more identical mhi
devices, qmi service will run with identical
qrtr-node-id. Because of this identical ID,
host qrtr-lookup cannot register more than one
qmi service with identical node ID. Ultimately,
only one qmi service will be avilable for the
underlying drivers to communicate with.

On QCN9000, it implements a unique qrtr-node-id
and qmi instance ID using a unique instance ID
written to a debug register from host driver
soon after SBL is loaded.

This change generates a unique instance ID from
PCIe domain number and bus number, writes to the
given debug register just after SBL is loaded so
that it is available for FW when the QMI service
is spawned.

sample:
root@OpenWrt:/# qrtr-lookup
Service Version Instance Node Port
15 1 0 8 1 Test service
69 1 8 8 2 ATH10k WLAN firmware service
15 1 0 24 1 Test service
69 1 24 24 2 ATH10k WLAN firmware service

Here 8 and 24 on column 3 (QMI Instance ID)
and 4 (QRTR Node ID) are the node IDs that
is unique per mhi device.

You cannot not do this in MHI stack. Why can't you do this in the
MHI controller
specific to QCN9000? And btw, is QCN9000 supported in mainline?

I'm not sure what QCN9000 means but I'm guessing it's QCN9074. We have
initial QCN9074 support in ath11k but there are some issues still so
it's not enabled by default (yet):

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath.git/commit/?h=ath-next&id=4e80946197a83a6115e308334618449b77696d6a

And I suspect we have this same qrtr issue with any ath11k PCI device,
including QCA6390, so this is not a QCN9074 specific problem.

BTW Gokul, please always CC the ath11k list when submitting patches
which are related to ath11k.

QRTR sits on top of MHI so shouldn't this be handled outside of MHI
after MHI is operational? We cannot allow PCI code in MHI core driver
but this can be handled pre or post MHI power-up in whatever way you
desire that does not have to directly involve MHI.

Sure, makes sense. I was just replying to Mani's question about status
of QCN9000 upstream support.

So should we handle this within ath11k, is that the right approach? I
also suspect that for QCN9074 and QCA6390 we have to do this a bit
differently, so it would be easier to handle the differences between
devices (and firmware versions) inside ath11k.

Yes, I feel it would be better handled within ath11k. AFAIK, device (QCA/QCN)
populates the BHI ERRDBG registers when it wants to communicate a certain
problem/status to the host and it should not be used the other way round,
where host writes a configuration cookie for the device to boot-up in a
particular way. It feels hacky as of now unless an actual configuration
register is used.

As per BHI specification, these registers are permitted to be read-only for
the host and Read/Write for device only. I also don't see any BHI
configuration or general purpose registers that can be used to notify this
cookie. If one is found, we can talk about how to use them and can introduce
MHI patches for those.

I suggest exploring alternatives to this. I think Hemant and are in agreement
on this.

Thanks,
Bhaumik
