Firmware allocates memory regions for PFs and VFs in DRAM. The PFs memory region is used for AF-PF and PF-VF mailbox. This mbox facilitate communication between AF-PF and PF-VF. On CN10K platform: The DRAM region allocated to PF is enumerated as PF BAR4 memory. PF BAR4 contains AF-PF mbox region followed by its VFs mbox region. AF-PF mbox region base address is configured at RVU_AF_PFX_BAR4_ADDR PF-VF mailbox base address is configured at RVU_PF(x)_VF_MBOX_ADDR = RVU_AF_PF()_BAR4_ADDR+64KB. PF access its mbox region via BAR4, whereas VF accesses PF-VF DRAM mailboxes via BAR2 indirect access. On CN9XX platform: Mailbox region in DRAM is divided into two parts AF-PF mbox region and PF-VF mbox region i.e all PFs mbox region is contiguous similarly all VFs. The base address of the AF-PF mbox region is configured at RVU_AF_PF_BAR4_ADDR. AF-PF1 mbox address can be calculated as RVU_AF_PF_BAR4_ADDR * mbox size. The base address of PF-VF mbox region for each PF is configure at RVU_AF_PF(0..15)_VF_BAR4_ADDR.PF access its mbox region via BAR4 and its VF mbox regions from RVU_PF_VF_BAR4_ADDR register, whereas VF access its mbox region via BAR4. This patch changes mbox initialization to support both CN9XX and CN10K platform. The patch also adds new hw_cap flag to setting hw features like TSO etc and removes platform specific name from the PF/VF driver name to make it appropriate for all supported platforms This patch also removes platform specific name from the PF/VF driver name to make it appropriate for all supported platforms Signed-off-by: Subbaraya Sundeep <sbhatta@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Geetha sowjanya <gakula@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Sunil Goutham <sgoutham@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
