Add a couple of new APIs to check the probing status of the required cpu bound qman and bman portals: 'int bman_portals_probed()' and 'int qman_portals_probed()'. They return the following values. * 1 if qman/bman portals were all probed correctly * 0 if qman/bman portals were not yet probed * -1 if probing of qman/bman portals failed Portals are considered successful probed if no error occurred during the probing of any of the portals and if enough portals were probed to have one available for each cpu. The error handling paths were slightly rearranged in order to fit this new functionality without being too intrusive. Drivers that use qman/bman portal driver services are required to use these APIs before calling any functions exported by these drivers or otherwise they will crash the kernel. First user will be the dpaa1 ethernet driver, coming in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: Laurentiu Tudor <laurentiu.tudor@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: Li Yang <leoyang.li@nxp.com>
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.
