Add the list of devices expected to be probed from the USB and PCI
busses on the google,spherion machine. The USB host controller at
11200000 is shared between two busses, for USB2 and USB3, so an
additional match is used to select the USB2 bus.

USB busses (and PCI ids) are not determinisitic and can, and will,
change values randomly.  So while it is nice to test "did the devices
show up properly", you can not do that based on bus ids at all, sorry.

Unless I'm reading these values wrong?  What are the fields
representing?  Perhaps a comment at the top to describe them so that we
know how to parse them?

thanks,

Hi Greg,

I have described the fields in the commit message of patch 1. Here they are:

usb <test_name> <controller_address>[,<additional_match>] <ports_path> <configuration> <interfaces>

pci <test_name> <controller_address> <device-function_pairs_path>

I'm aware that bus IDs are assigned at runtime, and that's exactly why I've
avoided those in the test definitions, instead describing the hardware topology,
which won't ever change.

And just to be extra clear, by hardware topology I mean:

For USB, we find the USB bus based on the address of its controller (and
optionally its productID if two busses share the same controller for USB2 and
USB3), and then find the device by following the ports at each hub. The
configuration number and interfaces then describe what interfaces to check for
presence and driver binding.

For PCI, we find the controller again based on its address, and follow the
device-function pairs at each level in the topology until we arrive at the
desired device.

We don't rely on the USB bus number, nor on the PCI domain and bus number, since
these are all assigned at runtime.

Thanks,
Nícolas

That's not a good place to document them, we'll never find them, and I
obviously missed it as well.

Please put it in a comment at the top of this file _AND_ in a comment in
the script that parses these files.

What exactly do you mean by "address" of a controller?  That will be
unique per bus-type that the controller lives on, right?

Ok, good, hub and port locations _should_ be stable, but note they have
changed at times so you will have to deal with that for the next 20+
years, are you ok with that?

"address"?  What exactly do you mean by this value?  For PCI, that will
change.

You are relying on a specific sysfs tree as well, are you able to handle
it when new devices get added to the middle of a device path?  That
sometimes happens in sysfs too.

Fair enough, will do so in the next version.

Well, in its current form the test is targetted at DT-based platforms, so by
address I mean the MMIO address of the host controller, as defined in the
controller's node in the DT.

In order to expand the coverage of the test to non-DT platforms as well, yes,
we'll need to allow describing controllers that are under some bus, rather than
at a fixed memory address. I'm already planning to do that as a next step.

If the locations changed it means we have a new hardware revision. I'd expect
most of those occurences to result in new compatible strings or DMI identifiers,
which we could then use to run a different set of tests, using the new hub and
port locations, since this is effectively a different piece of hardware.

Same as for USB.

Right, I'm relying on the fact that the PCI topology is reflected into the sysfs
topology, meaning the sysfs directories for devices on a PCI bus are direct
descendants of the directory for the PCI bridge exposing that bus. That's the
only place I'm aware of which exposes the PCI topology.

In any case, although simplistic, this approach has worked well so far on the
platforms I've tested on.

Thanks,
