Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker speaking. Top-posting for once, to make this easy accessible to everyone.
What's the status of this regression and getting it fixed? It looks like there was quite some progress for a while, but then things seem to have come to a halt ten days ago. Could anyone please provide a status update, please?
Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'Linux kernel regression tracker' hat)
P.S.: As a Linux kernel regression tracker I'm getting a lot of reports on my table. I can only look briefly into most of them. Unfortunately therefore I sometimes will get things wrong or miss something important. I hope that's not the case here; if you think it is, don't hesitate to tell me about it in a public reply, that's in everyone's interest.

The ranges and dma-ranges addresses don't appear to match up with any upstream dts files. Can you send me the DT?
The first fix certainly is a problem. It's going to need something besides size to key off of (originally it was dependent on order of dma-ranges entries).
The 2nd issue is the 'dma-ranges' has a second entry that is now ignored:
dma-ranges = <0x42000000 0x40 0x00 0x40 0x00 0x40 0x00 0x00>, <0x00 0x79000000 0x00 0x79000000 0x00 0x800000>;
Based on the flags (3rd addr cell: 0x0), we have an inbound config space which the kernel now ignores because inbound config space accesses make no sense. But clearly some setup is needed. Upstream, in contrast, sets up a memory range that includes this region, so the setup does happen:
<0x42000000 0x00 0x00000000 0x00 0x00000000 0x80 0x00000000>
Minimally, I suspect it will work if you change dma-ranges 2nd entry to:
<0x42000000 0x79000000 0x00 0x79000000 0x00 0x800000>
Thanks for looking into this Rob. I tried to test that theory, but it didn't seem to work. This is what I tried:

Since dma-ranges was previously identical to ib-ranges, I also tried making the same change to ib-ranges, but with no success.
Failed to boot at all or just PCIe still didn't work causing boot to eventually fail?
Sorry, I mean PCIe still didn't work, here's the log: http://dannf.org/bugs/m400-tweaked_dtb.log (unmodified kernel source w/ above dtb change)
'ib-ranges' is unknown to the kernel, so the firmware is using it somehow?
You also need to revert the first fix for PCIe to work.
Oh, OK. I misunderstood. I tried reverting commit 6dce5aa59e0b "PCI: xgene: Use inbound resources for setup" along with a dtb with the dma-ranges change in the diff above, but PCIe still didn't work. Here's the log:
http://dannf.org/bugs/m400-6dce5aa5_reverted+tweaked_dtb.log
-dann
While we shouldn't break existing DTs, the moonshot DT doesn't use what's documented upstream. There are multiple differences compared to what's documented. Is upstream supposed to support upstream DTs, downstream DTs, and ACPI for XGene which is an abandoned platform with only a handful of users?
That's a fair question, though it's one of a policy, and I feel I'd be overstepping by weighing in. I suppose one option I have is to try and create and upstream a dts for these systems and modify our boot.scr to always load that over the one provided by firmware. While we do have some of these systems in production, they are being retired and replaced with newer kit over time, and it's possible we'll never need to upgrade them to a modern kernel.
