    Hi,

    The switchtec driver patches [PATCH v2 (0-4)/4] in conjunction with the switchtec userland tool is used to communicate with the Microsemi 8536 PCIe Switch used on Facebook’s Lightning platform. The following essential driver and tool functions were successfully tested with it:
    · Retrieval of firmware and configuration information along with CRCs
    · Switch firmware and configuration upgrades
    · Switch PHY/Link error counter collection and the ability to reset them
    · Switch upstream and downstream ports’ link status reporting
    · Switch interface functioning
    · Retrieval of switch ASIC temperature
    · Exporting switch firmware log dump
    · Read the information of firmware and configuration binaries
    · Extract the firmware and configuration images stored in the switch EEPROM

    Changes since v1:

    * Rebased onto 4.10-rc6 (cleanly)
    * Split the patch into a few more easily digestible patches (as
    suggested by Greg Kroah-Hartman)
    * Folded switchtec.c into switchtec.h (per Greg)
    * Fixed a bunch of 32bit build warnings caught by the kbuild test robot
    * Fixed some issues in the documentation so it has a proper
    reStructredText format (as noted by Jonathan Corbet)
    * Fixed padding and sizes in the IOCTL structures as noticed by Emil
    Velikov and used pahole to verify their consistency across 32 and 64
    bit builds
    * Reworked one of the IOCTL interfaces to be more future proof (per
    Emil).

    Changes since RFC:

    * Fixed incorrect use of the drive model as pointed out by Greg
    Kroah-Hartman
    * Used devm functions as suggested by Keith Busch
    * Added a handful of sysfs attributes to the switchtec class
    * Added a handful of IOCTLs to the switchtec device
    * A number of miscellaneous bug fixes

    Hi,

    This is a continuation of the RFC we posted lasted month [1] which
    proposes a management driver for Microsemi's Switchtec line of PCI
    switches. This hardware is still looking to be used in the Open
    Compute Platform

    To make this entirely clear: the Switchtec products are compliant
    with the PCI specifications and are supported today with the standard
    in-kernel driver. However, these devices also expose a management endpoint
    on a separate PCI function address which can be used to perform some
    advanced operations. This is a driver for that function. See the patch
    for more information.

    Since the RFC, we've made the changes requested by Greg Kroah-Hartman
    and Keith Busch, and we've also fleshed out a number of features. We've
    added a couple of IOCTLs and sysfs attributes which are documented in
    the patch. Significant work has also been done on the userspace tool
    which is available under a GPL license at [2]. We've also had testing
    done by some of the interested parties.

    We hope to see this work included in either 4.11 or 4.12 assuming a
    smooth review process.

    The patch is based off of the v4.10-rc6 release.

    Thanks for your review,

    Logan
