CDB (Command Data Block Message Communication) reads and writes are
performed on memory map pages 9Fh-AFh according to the CMIS standard,
section 8.20 of revision 5.2.
Page 9Fh is used to specify the CDB command to be executed and also
provides an area for a local payload (LPL).
According to the CMIS standard, the firmware update process is done using
a CDB commands sequence that will be implemented in the next patch.
The kernel interface that will implement the firmware update using CDB
command will include 2 layers that will be added under ethtool:
* The upper layer that will be triggered from the module layer, is
cmis_fw_update.
* The lower one is cmis_cdb.
In the future there might be more operations to implement using CDB
commands. Therefore, the idea is to keep the CDB interface clean and the
cmis_fw_update specific to the CDB commands handling it.
These two layers will communicate using the API the consists of three
functions:
- struct ethtool_cmis_cdb *
ethtool_cmis_cdb_init(struct net_device *dev,
struct ethtool_module_fw_flash_params *params);
- void ethtool_cmis_cdb_fini(struct ethtool_cmis_cdb *cdb);
- int ethtool_cmis_cdb_execute_cmd(struct net_device *dev,
struct ethtool_cmis_cdb_cmd_args *args);
Add the CDB layer to support initializing, finishing and executing CDB
commands:
* The initialization process will include creating of an ethtool_cmis_cdb
instance, querying the module CDB support, entering and validating the
password from user space (CMD 0x0000) and querying the module features
(CMD 0x0040).
* The finishing API will simply free the ethtool_cmis_cdb instance.
* The executing process will write the CDB command to EEPROM using
set_module_eeprom_by_page() that was presented earlier, and will
process the reply from EEPROM.
