PCI: intel-gw: Move interrupt enable to own function

Browse source

To improve the readability of the code, move the interrupt enable
instructions to a separate function. That is already done for the disable
interrupt instruction.

In addition, clear and disable all pending interrupts, as is done in
intel_pcie_core_irq_disable(). After that, enable all relevant interrupts
again. The 'PCIE_APP_IRNEN' definition contains all the relevant interrupts
that are of interest.

This change is also done in the MaxLinear SDK [1]. As I unfortunately don’t
have any documentation for this IP core, I suspect that the intention is to
set the IP core for interrupt handling to a specific state. Perhaps the
problem is that the IP core did not reinitialize the interrupt register
properly after a power cycle.

In my view, it can’t do any harm to switch the interrupt off and then on
again to set them to a specific state.

The reason why the MaxLinear SDK is used as a reference here is, that this
PCIe DWC IP is used in the URX851 and URX850 SoC. This SoC was originally
developed by Intel when they acquired Lantiq’s home networking division in
2015 [2]. In 2020 the home network division was sold to MaxLinear [3].
Since then, this SoC belongs to MaxLinear. They use their own SDK, which
runs on kernel version '5.15.x'.
