* soc: ti: add firmware file name as part of the driverMurali Karicheri2015-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently firmware file name is included in the DTS. This is not scalable as user has to change the DTS if they need upgrade to a new firmware. Instead, add the firmware file name in the driver itself. As long as there is no API change, new firmware upgrade is easy and require no driver change. User is expected to copy the firmware image to the file system and add a sym link to the new firmware for doing an upgrade. Driver add a array of firmware file names to search for the available firmware blobs. This scheme also prepare the driver for future changes to API if ever happens. In such case it is assumed that driver needs to change to accommodate the new firmware and new firmware file name will get added to the array. Also update the DT document to remove the firmware attribute and add description about firmware in the driver documentation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Keystone Navigator DMA driver sets up the dma channels and flows for the QMSS(Queue Manager SubSystem) who triggers the actual data movements across clients using destination queues. Every client modules like NETCP(Network Coprocessor), SRIO(Serial Rapid IO) and CRYPTO Engines has its own instance of packet dma hardware. QMSS has also an internal packet DMA module which is used as an infrastructure DMA with zero copy. Initially this driver was proposed as DMA engine driver but since the hardware is not typical DMA engine and hence doesn't comply with typical DMA engine driver needs, that approach was naked. Link to that discussion - https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/18/340 As aligned, now we pair the Navigator DMA with its companion Navigator QMSS subsystem driver.

The QMSS (Queue Manager Sub System) found on Keystone SOCs is one of the main hardware sub system which forms the backbone of the Keystone Multi-core Navigator. QMSS consist of queue managers, packed-data structure processors(PDSP), linking RAM, descriptor pools and infrastructure Packet DMA. The Queue Manager is a hardware module that is responsible for accelerating management of the packet queues. Packets are queued/de-queued by writing or reading descriptor address to a particular memory mapped location. The PDSPs perform QMSS related functions like accumulation, QoS, or event management. Linking RAM registers are used to link the descriptors which are stored in descriptor RAM. Descriptor RAM is configurable as internal or external memory.
