Benjamin Herrenschmidt 0ab5fe5374 fsi: Add new central chardev support
The various FSI devices (sbefifo, occ, scom, more to come)
currently use misc devices.

This is problematic as the minor device space for misc is
limited and there can be a lot of them. Also it limits our
ability to move them to a dedicated /dev/fsi directory or
to be smart about device naming and numbering.

It also means we have IDAs on every single of these drivers

This creates a common fsi "device_type" for the optional
/dev/fsi grouping and a dev_t allocator for all FSI devices.

"Legacy" devices get to use a backward compatible numbering
scheme (as long as chip id <16 and there's only one copy
of a given unit type per chip).

A single major number and a single IDA are shared for all
FSI devices.

This doesn't convert the FSI device drivers to use the new
scheme yet, they will be converted individually.

menuconfig FSI
tristate "FSI support"
depends on OF
select CRC4
---help---
FSI - the FRU Support Interface - is a simple bus for low-level
access to POWER-based hardware.
if FSI
config FSI_NEW_DEV_NODE
bool "Create '/dev/fsi' directory for char devices"
default n
---help---
This option causes char devices created for FSI devices to be
located under a common /dev/fsi/ directory. Set to N unless your
userspace has been updated to handle the new location.
Additionally, it also causes the char device names to be offset
by one so that chip 0 will have /dev/scom1 and chip1 /dev/scom2
to match old userspace expectations.
New userspace will use udev rules to generate predictable access
symlinks in /dev/fsi/by-path when this option is enabled.
config FSI_MASTER_GPIO
tristate "GPIO-based FSI master"
depends on GPIOLIB
select CRC4
---help---
This option enables a FSI master driver using GPIO lines.
config FSI_MASTER_HUB
tristate "FSI hub master"
---help---
This option enables a FSI hub master driver. Hub is a type of FSI
master that is connected to the upstream master via a slave. Hubs
allow chaining of FSI links to an arbitrary depth. This allows for
a high target device fanout.
config FSI_MASTER_AST_CF
tristate "FSI master based on Aspeed ColdFire coprocessor"
depends on GPIOLIB
depends on GPIO_ASPEED
---help---
This option enables a FSI master using the AST2400 and AST2500 GPIO
lines driven by the internal ColdFire coprocessor. This requires
the corresponding machine specific ColdFire firmware to be available.
config FSI_SCOM
tristate "SCOM FSI client device driver"
---help---
This option enables an FSI based SCOM device driver.
config FSI_SBEFIFO
tristate "SBEFIFO FSI client device driver"
depends on OF_ADDRESS
---help---
This option enables an FSI based SBEFIFO device driver. The SBEFIFO is
a pipe-like FSI device for communicating with the self boot engine
(SBE) on POWER processors.
