Introduce sysfs interfaces for 3 new Data Streaming Accelerator (DSA)
capability registers (dsacap0-2) to enable userspace awareness of hardware
features in DSA version 3 and later devices.
Userspace components (e.g. configure libraries, workload Apps) require this
information to:
1. Select optimal data transfer strategies based on SGL capabilities
2. Enable hardware-specific optimizations for floating-point operations
3. Configure memory operations with proper numerical handling
4. Verify compute operation compatibility before submitting jobs
The output format is <dsacap2>,<dsacap1>,<dsacap0>, where each DSA
capability value is a 64-bit hexadecimal number, separated by commas.
The ordering follows the DSA 3.0 specification layout:
Offset: 0x190 0x188 0x180
Reg: dsacap2 dsacap1 dsacap0
Example:
cat /sys/bus/dsa/devices/dsa0/dsacaps
000000000000f18d,0014000e000007aa,00fa01ff01ff03ff
According to the DSA 3.0 specification, there are 15 fields defined for
the three dsacap registers. However, there's no need to define all
register structures unless a use case requires them. At this point,
support for the Scatter-Gather List (SGL) located in dsacap0 is necessary,
so only dsacap0 is defined accordingly.
For reference, the DSA 3.0 specification is available at:
