Subject: Hardcoded IDE Controller B/D/F (0/1/1) in BdsPlatform.c?
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2018 16:06:58 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAAz1XL+dsHPrjeFqfvcx36wHBT_igDDqEb2H4gZLhMgcDwafZA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I noticed that there is apparently a hardcoded B/D/F for an IDE Controller
in BdsPlatform.c, when setting bit 15 of a particular register:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/14923c1a6bf9940b48feeaf47cb5d6c662b6528c/OvmfPkg/Library/PlatformBootManagerLib/BdsPlatform.c#L1612-L1617
.

Why is this hardcoded? Is it just old code that has hung around? I noticed
that this code is from this commit, and the surrounding code at the time
had lots of hardcoded B/D/Fs:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commit/40f2c454343be84ab3bacf9955cc8d7842c70b5c
.

The context of this question is that I'm trying to make this work in a
configuration with an IDE Controller located at a different B/D/F, and so
the hardcoded value of 0/1/1 doesn't work for me.

If I want to change this so that it's not hardcoded, what is a good
approach? I've added some code locally to the IdeInitSetTiming function in
SataController.c to set the bit using the PciIo structure which is opened
specifically on the controller in question -- does that sound like the
right approach?
Link to the function I'm referring to:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/f6b0258d25a63ae3d3bc6430abe30fb625abc52a/OvmfPkg/SataControllerDxe/SataController.c#L1091-L1099

Thanks,
Bryan
