Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.13 20/22] x86/Kconfig: Make CONFIG_PCI_CNB20LE_QUIRK depend on X86_32
Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2025 20:04:49 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250404000453.2688371-20-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250404000453.2688371-1-sashal@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit d9f87802676bb23b9425aea8ad95c76ad9b50c6e ]
I was unable to find a good description of the ServerWorks CNB20LE
chipset. However, it was probably exclusively used with the Pentium III
processor (this CPU model was used in all references to it that I
found where the CPU model was provided: dmesgs in [1] and [2];
[3] page 2; [4]-[7]).
As is widely known, the Pentium III processor did not support the 64-bit
mode, support for which was introduced by Intel a couple of years later.
So it is safe to assume that no systems with the CNB20LE chipset have
amd64 and the CONFIG_PCI_CNB20LE_QUIRK may now depend on X86_32.
Additionally, I have determined that most computers with the CNB20LE
chipset did have ACPI support and this driver was inactive on them.
I have submitted a patch to remove this driver, but it was met with
resistance [8].

help
Read the PCI windows out of the CNB20LE host bridge. This allows
PCI hotplug to work on systems with the CNB20LE chipset which do
not have ACPI.
+ The ServerWorks (later Broadcom) CNB20LE was a chipset designed
+ most probably only for Pentium III.
+
+ To find out if you have such a chipset, search for a PCI device with
+ 1166:0009 PCI IDs, for example by executing
+ lspci -nn | grep '1166:0009'
+ The code is inactive if there is none.
+
There's no public spec for this chipset, and this functionality
is known to be incomplete.
