config NTB_IDT tristate "IDT PCIe-switch Non-Transparent Bridge support" depends on PCI select HWMON help This driver supports NTB of capable IDT PCIe-switches.

 Some of the pre-initializations must be made before IDT PCIe-switch
 exposes its NT-functions correctly. It should be done by either proper
 initialization of EEPROM connected to master SMbus of the switch or
 by BIOS using slave-SMBus interface changing corresponding registers
 value. Evidently it must be done before PCI bus enumeration is
 finished in Linux kernel.

 First of all partitions must be activated and properly assigned to all
 the ports with NT-functions intended to be activated (see SWPARTxCTL
 and SWPORTxCTL registers). Then all NT-function BARs must be enabled
 with chosen valid aperture. For memory windows related BARs the
 aperture settings shall determine the maximum size of memory windows
 accepted by a BAR. Note that BAR0 must map PCI configuration space
 registers.

 It's worth to note, that since a part of this driver relies on the
 BAR settings of peer NT-functions, the BAR setups can't be done over
 kernel PCI fixups. That's why the alternative pre-initialization
 techniques like BIOS using SMBus interface or EEPROM should be
 utilized.

 If unsure, say N.
