OK, so per your last mail, most VIA devices start on the PCI bus and
then later are migrated onto the V-bus.
Devices on the PCI bus need to be quirked (in some circumstances), as
when they are on the PCI bus they use the IRQ line for routing, and the
IRQ line is what the quirk actually modifies.
V-bus devices do not need the quirk because IRQ routing there is handled
by IRQ number alone.
Is the above correct?
I did some searching and couldn't find anything out about the V-bus, I
assume that is some VIA-specific thing.
That aside, it appears we were talking about different situations in the
earlier email. We have 3 device classes:
- Internal PCI bus devices
- Internal V-bus devices
- External PCI card devices
I was talking about the corner case where we quirk an external-PCI-card
device when it is plugged into a mainboard which happens to be based on
a VIA chipset, whereas you were objecting to the fact that my patch
quirks both internal-PCI-bus and internal-V-bus devices (but only one of
those classes needs to be quirked). Is that correct?
Final question for now, are you saying that the current quirk in
mainline only quirks devices which are in the internal-PCI-bus class?
i.e. all of the following are *not* available in internal-V-bus form?
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_ENABLE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C586_0,
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_ENABLE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C586_1,
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_ENABLE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C586_2,
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_ENABLE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C586_3,
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_ENABLE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C686,
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_ENABLE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C686_4,
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_ENABLE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C686_5,
Thanks.
