When boot from PCIE, slave's core should be in holdoff after powered on for
some specific requirements. Master will release the slave's core at the
right time by PCIE interface.
Slave's ucode and ENV can be stored in master's memory space, then slave
can fetch them through PCIE interface. For the corenet platform, ucode is
for Fman.
NOTE: Because the slave can not erase, write master's NOR flash by
PCIE interface, so it can not modify the ENV parameters stored
in master's NOR flash using "saveenv" or other commands.
environment and requirement:
master:
1. NOR flash for its own u-boot image, ucode and ENV space.
2. Slave's u-boot image is in master NOR flash.
3. Put the slave's ucode and ENV into it's own memory space.
4. Normally boot from local NOR flash.
5. Configure PCIE system if needed.
slave:
1. Just has EEPROM for RCW. No flash for u-boot image, ucode and ENV.
2. Boot location should be set to one PCIE interface by RCW.
3. RCW should configure the SerDes, PCIE interfaces correctly.
4. Must set all the cores in holdoff by RCW.
5. Must be powered on before master's boot.
For the slave module, need to finish these processes:
1. Set the boot location to one PCIE interface by RCW.
2. Set a specific TLB entry for the boot process.
3. Set a LAW entry with the TargetID of one PCIE for the boot.
4. Set a specific TLB entry in order to fetch ucode and ENV from
master.
5. Set a LAW entry with the TargetID one of the PCIE ports for
ucode and ENV.
6. Slave's u-boot image should be generated specifically by
make xxxx_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_config.
This will set SYS_TEXT_BASE=0xFFF80000 and other configurations.
In addition, the processes are very similar between boot from SRIO and
boot from PCIE. Some configurations like the address spaces can be set to
the same. So the module of boot from PCIE was added based on the existing
module of boot from SRIO, and the following changes were needed:
1. Updated the README.srio-boot-corenet to add descriptions about
boot from PCIE, and change the name to
README.srio-pcie-boot-corenet.
2. Changed the compile config "xxxx_SRIOBOOT_SLAVE" to
"xxxx_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT", and the image builded with
"xxxx_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT" can support both the boot from SRIO and
from PCIE.
3. Updated other macros and documents if needed to add information
about boot from PCIE.

When compile the slave image for boot from SRIO, no longer need to
specify which SRIO port it will boot from. The code will get this
information from RCW and then finishes corresponding configurations.
This has the following advantages:
1. No longer need to rebuild an image when change the SRIO port for
boot from SRIO, just rewrite the new RCW with selected port,
then the code will get the port information by reading new RCW.
2. It will be easier to support other boot location options, for
example, boot from PCIE.

When boot from SRIO, slave's ucode can be stored in master's memory space,
then slave can fetch the ucode image through SRIO interface. For the
corenet platform, ucode is for Fman.
Master needs to:
1. Put the slave's ucode image into it's own memory space.
2. Set an inbound SRIO window covered slave's ucode stored in master's
memory space.
Slave needs to:
1. Set a specific TLB entry in order to fetch ucode from master.
2. Set a LAW entry with the TargetID SRIO1 or SRIO2 for ucode.

For the powerpc processors with SRIO interface, boot location can be configured
from SRIO1 or SRIO2 by RCW. The processor booting from SRIO can do without flash
for u-boot image. The image can be fetched from another processor's memory
space by SRIO link connected between them.
The processor boots from SRIO is slave, the processor boots from normal flash
memory space and can help slave to boot from its memory space is master.
They are different environments and requirements:
master:
1. NOR flash for its own u-boot image, ucode and ENV space.
2. Slave's u-boot image in master NOR flash.
3. Normally boot from local NOR flash.
4. Configure SRIO switch system if needed.
slave:
1. Just has EEPROM for RCW. No flash for u-boot image, ucode and ENV.
2. Boot location should be set to SRIO1 or SRIO2 by RCW.
3. RCW should configure the SerDes, SRIO interfaces correctly.
4. Slave must be powered on after master's boot.
5. Must define CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE because of no ucode
locally.
For the slave module, need to finish these processes:
1. Set the boot location to SRIO1 or SRIO2 by RCW.
2. Set a specific TLB entry for the boot process.
3. Set a LAW entry with the TargetID SRIO1 or SRIO2 for the boot.
4. Slave's u-boot image should be generated specifically by
make xxxx_SRIOBOOT_SLAVE_config.
This will set SYS_TEXT_BASE=0xFFF80000 and other configurations.

The P2041RDB has almost identical setup for TLB, LAWS, and PCI with
other P-Series CoreNet platforms.
The only difference between P2041RDB & P3041DS/P4080DS/P5020DS is the
CPLD vs PIXIS FPGA which we can handle via some simple #ifdefs in the
TLB and LAW setup tables.

We currently support 4 SoC/Boards from the P-Series of QorIQ SoCs that
are based on the 'CoreNet' Architecture: P2041RDB, P3041DS, P4080DS, and
P5020DS. There is a significant amount of commonality shared between
these boards that we can refactor into common code:
* Initial LAW setup
* Initial TLB setup
* PCI setup
We start by moving the shared code between P3041DS, P4080DS, and P5020DS
into a common directory to be shared with other P-Series CoreNet boards.
