Yes, currently we only use "Memory, Non-cacheable, Bufferable". I was
wondering if we could send these options as flags from DT something
like below so that it's not hard coded in the code.
/* PMA config */
#define AX45MP_PMACFG_ETYP GENMASK(1, 0)
/* OFF: PMA entry is disabled */
#define AX45MP_PMACFG_ETYP_DISABLED 0
/* Naturally aligned power of 2 region */
#define AX45MP_PMACFG_ETYP_NAPOT 3
#define AX45MP_PMACFG_MTYP GENMASK(5, 2)
/* Device, Non-bufferable */
#define AX45MP_PMACFG_MTYP_DEV_NON_BUF (0 << 2)
/* Device, bufferable */
#define AX45MP_PMACFG_MTYP_DEV_BUF (1 << 2)
/* Memory, Non-cacheable, Non-bufferable */
#define AX45MP_PMACFG_MTYP_MEM_NON_CACHE_NON_BUF (2 << 2)
/* Memory, Non-cacheable, Bufferable */
#define AX45MP_PMACFG_MTYP_MEM_NON_CACHE_BUF (3 << 2)
/* Memory, Write-back, No-allocate */
#define AX45MP_PMACFG_MTYP_MEM_WB_NA (8 << 2)
/* Memory, Write-back, Read-allocate */
#define AX45MP_PMACFG_MTYP_MEM_WB_RA (9 << 2)
/* Memory, Write-back, Write-allocate */
#define AX45MP_PMACFG_MTYP_MEM_WB_WA (10 << 2)
/* Memory, Write-back, Read and Write-allocate */
#define AX45MP_PMACFG_MTYP_MEM_WB_R_WA (11 << 2)
/* AMO instructions are supported */
#define AX45MP_PMACFG_NAMO_AMO_SUPPORT (0 << 6)
/* AMO instructions are not supported */
#define AX45MP_PMACFG_NAMO_AMO_NO_SUPPORT (1 << 6)

Does the above sound good?

Currently we have setup the pma regions as below:
l2cache: cache-controller@...00000 {
compatible = "andestech,ax45mp-cache", "cache";
cache-size = <0x40000>;
cache-line-size = <64>;
cache-sets = <1024>;
cache-unified;
reg = <0x0 0x13400000 0x0 0x100000>;
pma-regions = <0x0 0x00000000 0x0 0x10000000 0x0 0xf>,
<0x0 0x10000000 0x0 0x04000000 0x0 0xf>,
<0x0 0x20000000 0x0 0x10000000 0x0 0xf>,
<0x0 0x58000000 0x0 0x08000000 0x0 0xf>;
interrupts = <SOC_PERIPHERAL_IRQ(476, IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH)>;
};
The last pma-regions entry 0x58000000 is a DDR location this memory
locations is marked as shared DMA pool with below in DT,
reserved-memory {
#address-cells = <2>;
#size-cells = <2>;
ranges;
reserved: linux,cma@...00000 {
compatible = "shared-dma-pool";
no-map;
linux,dma-default;
reg = <0x0 0x58000000 0x0 0x08000000>;
};
};
And for ARCH_R9A07G043 we automatically select DMA_GLOBAL_POOL, so the
IP blocks (emmc/usb/gmac's) requesting DMA'able memory will
automatically fall into this region which is non-cacheable but
bufferable (set in PMA) and rest everything is taken care by clean and
flush callbacks. We dont have inject dma_sync for desc
synchronization for existing drivers (which are shared with Renesas
RZ/G2L family)
Cheers,
Prabhakar
