The DPIO driver is bound to DPIO objects discovered on the fsl-mc bus and
provides services that:
- A) allow other drivers, such as the Ethernet driver, to enqueue and dequeue
+
+ A. allow other drivers, such as the Ethernet driver, to enqueue and dequeue
frames for their respective objects
- B) allow drivers to register callbacks for data availability notifications
+ B. allow drivers to register callbacks for data availability notifications
when data becomes available on a queue or channel
- C) allow drivers to manage hardware buffer pools
+ C. allow drivers to manage hardware buffer pools
The Linux DPIO driver consists of 3 primary components--
DPIO object driver-- fsl-mc driver that manages the DPIO object
The qbman-portal component provides APIs to do the low level hardware
bit twiddling for operations such as:
- -initializing Qman software portals
-
- -building and sending portal commands
- -portal interrupt configuration and processing

The qbman-portal APIs are not public to other drivers, and are
only used by dpio-service.
