+Introduction
+------------
+
+A DPAA2 DPIO (Data Path I/O) is a hardware object that provides
+interfaces to enqueue and dequeue frames to/from network interfaces
+and other accelerators.  A DPIO also provides hardware buffer
+pool management for network interfaces.
+
+This document provides an overview the Linux DPIO driver, its
+subcomponents, and its APIs.
+
+See Documentation/dpaa2/overview.txt for a general overview of DPAA2
+and the general DPAA2 driver architecture in Linux.
+
+Driver Overview
+---------------
+
+The DPIO driver is bound to DPIO objects discovered on the fsl-mc bus and
+provides services that:
+  A) allow other drivers, such as the Ethernet driver, to enqueue and dequeue
+     frames for their respective objects
+  B) allow drivers to register callbacks for data availability notifications
+     when data becomes available on a queue or channel
+  C) allow drivers to manage hardware buffer pools
+
+The Linux DPIO driver consists of 3 primary components--
+   DPIO object driver-- fsl-mc driver that manages the DPIO object
+   DPIO service-- provides APIs to other Linux drivers for services
+   QBman portal interface-- sends portal commands, gets responses
+
+          fsl-mc          other
+           bus           drivers

+
+DPIO Object Driver (dpio-driver.c)
+----------------------------------
+
+   The dpio-driver component registers with the fsl-mc bus to handle objects of
+   type "dpio".  The implementation of probe() handles basic initialization
+   of the DPIO including mapping of the DPIO regions (the QBman SW portal)
+   and initializing interrupts and registering irq handlers.  The dpio-driver
+   registers the probed DPIO with dpio-service.
+
+DPIO service  (dpio-service.c, dpaa2-io.h)
+------------------------------------------
+
+   The dpio service component provides queuing, notification, and buffers
+   management services to DPAA2 drivers, such as the Ethernet driver.  A system
+   will typically allocate 1 DPIO object per CPU to allow queuing operations
+   to happen simultaneously across all CPUs.

+      dpaa2_io_store_create()
+      dpaa2_io_store_destroy()
+      dpaa2_io_store_next()
+
+   Buffer pool management
+      dpaa2_io_service_release()
+      dpaa2_io_service_acquire()
+
+QBman portal interface (qbman-portal.c)
+---------------------------------------
+
+   The qbman-portal component provides APIs to do the low level hardware
+   bit twiddling for operations such as:
+      -initializing Qman software portals
+      -building and sending portal commands
+      -portal interrupt configuration and processing
+
+   The qbman-portal APIs are not public to other drivers, and are
+   only used by dpio-service.
+
+Other (dpaa2-fd.h, dpaa2-global.h)
+----------------------------------
+
+   Frame descriptor and scatter-gather definitions and the APIs used to
+   manipulate them are defined in dpaa2-fd.h.
+
+   Dequeue result struct and parsing APIs are defined in dpaa2-global.h.
