Historically, Qcom PCIe RC controllers lacked standard hotplug support. So when an endpoint is attached to the SoC, users have to rescan the bus manually to enumerate the device. But this can be avoided by using the Link up event exposed by the Qcom specific 'global_irq' interrupt. Qcom PCIe RC controllers are capable of generating the 'global' SPI interrupt to the host CPUs. The device driver can use this interrupt to identify events such as PCIe link specific events, safety events etc... One such event is the PCIe Link up event generated when an endpoint is detected on the bus and the Link is 'up'. This event can be used to enumerate the PCIe endpoint devices without user intervention. So add support for capturing the PCIe Link up event using the 'global' interrupt in the driver. Once the Link up event is received, the bus underneath the host bridge is scanned to enumerate PCIe endpoint devices. All of the Qcom SoCs have only one Root Port per controller instance. So only a single 'Link up' event is generated for the PCIe controller.

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 reStructuredText 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.
