HW:APCIe

The PCIe host bridge includes at least some Synopsys DesignWare derived logic. The release version encoded at offset 0x8f8/0x8fc in PCIE config space indicates version 530*-ea15 (5.30a-ea15).

Tunables

The following set of tunables operate on config space of the per-port PCIe bridge devices.

pcie-rc-tunables

On the 2020 M1 mini, this set of register writes modifies some bits on standardized capability structures as well as some other registers.

register	capability	effect
0x194	L1 PM Substates	clear Port Common_Mode_Restore_Time
		clear Port T_POWER_ON Scale
		clear Port T_POWER_ON Value
0x2a4	Data Link Feature	clear Data Link Feature Exchange Enable
0xb80		not part of an (extended) capability structure
0xb84		not part of an (extended) capability structure
0x78	PCI Express	clear Max_Read_Request_Size

pcie-rc-gen3-shadow-tunables

register	capability	effect
0x154	Secondary PCI Express	set Downstream Port 8.0 GT/s Transmitter Preset
		set Upstream Port 8.0 GT/s Transmitter Preset
0x890		not part of an (extended) capability structure
		appears to be the Synopsys Designware PCIe GEN3_RELATED register
0x8a8		not part of an (extended) capability structure
		appears to be the Synopsys Designware PCIe GEN3_EQ_CONTROL register

pcie-rc-gen4-shadow-tunables

register	capability	effect
0x178	Physical Layer 16.0 GT/s	set Downstream Port 16.0 GT/s Transmitter Preset
		set Upstream Port 16.0 GT/s Transmitter Preset
0x890		not part of an (extended) capability structure
		(see above)
0x8a8		not part of an (extended) capability structure
		(see above)

So the changes to documented registers seem to disable some (buggy?) features as well do some lane equalization tuning. Maybe Apple hopes to re-enable this in a future respin of the silicon without having to specify specific silicon revs in their xnu driver?

DT bindings

Here is what the DT bindings could look like:
