The RaspberryPi RP1 is a PCI multi function device containing peripherals ranging from Ethernet to USB controller, I2C, SPI and others. Implement a bare minimum driver to operate the RP1, leveraging actual OF based driver implementations for the on-board peripherals by loading a devicetree overlay during driver probe if the RP1 node is not already present in the DT. The peripherals are accessed by mapping MMIO registers starting from PCI BAR1 region. With the overlay approach we can achieve more generic and agnostic approach to managing this chipset, being that it is a PCI endpoint and could possibly be reused in other hw implementations. The presented approach is also used by Bootlin's Microchip LAN966x patchset (see link) as well, for a similar chipset. In this case, the inclusion tree for the DT overlay is as follow (the arrow points to the includer): rp1-pci.dtso <---- rp1-common.dtsi On the other hand, to ensure compatibility with downstream, this driver can also work with a DT already comprising the RP1 node, so the dynamically loaded overlay will not be used if the DT is already fully defined. The reason why this driver is contained in drivers/misc has been paved by Bootlin's LAN966X driver, which first used the overlay approach to implement non discoverable peripherals behind a PCI bus. For RP1, the same arguments apply: it's not used as an SoC since the driver code is not running on-chip and is not like an MFD since it does not really need all the MFD infrastructure (shared regs, etc.). So, for this particular use, misc has been proposed and deemed as a good choice. For further details about that please check the links. This driver is heavily based on downstream code from RaspberryPi Foundation, and the original author is Phil Elwell.
