From: Martin Sperl <kernel-TqfNSX0MhmxHKSADF0wUEw@public.gmane.org>

This driver does NOT make use of native chip-selects but uses the
generic cs-gpios facilities provided by the framework allowing for
more than 3 chip-selects.

 create mode 100644 drivers/spi/spi-bcm2835aux.c

Only tested spi1, as no Compute Module is available to me to test spi2.

Also note that the driver currently implements locking of the auxiliar
device enable bits inside the driver. This is shared with the uart1,
for which we have so far no driver. Ideally this should get moved out
as soon as we get the uart1 driver enabled.

Uart1 is also only accessible on the Compute Module.

+Broadcom BCM2835 SPI1/2 controller
+
+The BCM2835 contains two forms of SPI master controller, one known simply as
+SPI0, and the other known as the "Universal SPI Master"; part of the
+auxiliary block. This binding applies to the SPI1/2 controller.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be "brcm,bcm2835-aux-spi".
+- reg: Should contain register location and length for the spi block
+       as well as for the common aux block control
+- interrupts: Should contain shared interrupt of the aux block
+- clocks: The clock feeding the SPI controller.
+- gpio-cs: the gpio-cs (native cs is NOT supported)
+
+Example:
+
+spi1@7e215080 {
+	compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux-spi";
+	reg = <0x7e215080 0x40>, <0x7e215000 0x08>;
+	interrupts = <1 29>;
+	clocks = <&clk_spi>;
+	#address-cells = <1>;
+	#size-cells = <0>;
+};
+
+spi2@7e215080 {
+	compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux-spi";
+	reg = <0x7e2150c0 0x40>, <0x7e215000 0x08>;
+	interrupts = <1 29>;

Uart1 is available on the uart0 pins (alt5) and the 8250 driver can be 
used (ns16550 compatible).

As mentioned by Noralf UART1 is quite commonly used on Compute Modules.
Proper driver - perhaps modelled as a bus - seems like a prerequisite
for this work.  You are also not using IRQ mux in DT binding example
which is very misleading.

Do we have any indication weather this AUX hardware is available on
RPi2 as well?  IIRC bcm2836 differs only in CPU cores, peripherals
remain identical.  Perhaps this driver could be used on RPi2 and
naming it 283x would be more appropriate?

Well - there is no support far for uart1 in upstream as of now.
And I am not even sure if the compute module is supported as there
is no device tree available in upstream for that...

So I have taken the simple route of using shared interrupts and providing
a minimal framework to enable the spi1/spi2 hw blocks with proper locking.
And I have mentioned that it would need to get modified when uart1 support
comes along.

If you know of a better solution how to control this and that also
incorporates a patch to enable uart1, then please share it!

Just modify the bcm2835aux_spi_enable/disable to use a different framework
than just bcm2835_aux_modify_enable.

The patch Noralf mentions only applies downstream and only sets the
enable-register during the boot sequence, so it would not impact the
solution as is.

I have not checked, but I would guess that it exists.

As for naming: I have asked around and bcm2835aux seemed fine.
Also if we go that route we should start renaming ALL driver instances that
contain 2835.--

do you mean "gpio-cs" or "cs-gpios" from spi/spi-bus.txt?

Why is gpio-cs is missing in the examples, if it's required?

So what does it require to get this merged?

Rename of the module?

Well, we are using shared interrupts, which is typical for other drivers on
the rpi as well - i2c and usb are examples for multiple handlers on
a single irq line on the rpi - excerpt from /proc/interrupts:
          CPU0
33: 3547607286  ARMCTRL-level  41 Edge      20980000.usb, dwc2_hsotg:usb1
77:          0  ARMCTRL-level  85 Edge      20205000.i2c, 20804000.i2c


The compute module is not supported upstream and nobody
created any patches for a device tree for a cm...

On top there is no direct support for uart1 in the upstream kernel.

Support only exists in the foundation kernel where the implementation
enables the uart1 in the board-config directly, so that uart1
can also get used as the console during boot.

This means (as far as I understand) that there can be no 
race-condition, as spi would get configured later during boot
and the access to the enable register is then properly
protected against concurrent access when enabling both
auxiliar spi devices (and spi2 is only usable on the compute
Module - see above for upstream support of the cm)

Finally asking for a recommendation with regards to using a bus
to arbitrate access to the enable register there was no feedback
how this could be get implemented...

This last piece is actually one of the last reasons why I have not
posted a patch for spi1 and spi2 to the default device-trees for
the rpi models yet.
(That and the fact that assigning pins in multiple pinctrl groups
- i2s and spi1 - gives warnings or errors in dmesg, because i2s is
also requiring Gpio 18, 19, 20 and 21 on the model-b-plus
device tree - so it can only be either/or not both...)

Maybe you can use drivers/mfd/syscon.c to enable shared access to the
aux enable register. Then the spi driver could get the regmap with:
aux_regmap = syscon_regmap_lookup_by_phandle(np, "syscon");

aux_syscon: aux_syscon@7e215000 {
   compatible = "syscon";
   reg = <0x7e215000 0x08>;
};

spi2@7e2150c0 {
   compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux-spi";
   reg = <0x7e2150c0 0x40>;
   syscon = <&aux_syscon>;
};

So if someone later will add a Pi extension to the 8250 serial driver or
enable the mini uart by some other means, they can use the syscon regmap.


About sharing the aux interrupt, could this be implemented in irq-bcm2835
as a Bank 3?

spi1@7e215080 {
  compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux-spi";
  reg = <0x7e215080 0x40>, <0x7e215000 0x08>;
  interrupts = <3 1>;
};

spi2@7e2150c0 {
  compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux-spi";
  reg = <0x7e2150c0 0x40>, <0x7e215000 0x08>;
  interrupts = <3 2>;
};

These are just a suggestions, I don't know if it is "the correct" way to 
do it.

Seems as if you found an answer to my original question of if
there is a framework to handle this.

> About sharing the aux interrupt, could this be implemented in irq-bcm2835
> as a Bank 3?
Obviously it could, but the question is if it is not more overhead than using
a shared interrupt (requesting an interrupt with the shared flag set) in the
first place (like this driver currently does or i2c and USB do).

I am working on a new version to make use of syscon.

Thanks, Martin

I have looked closer at the 8250 serial driver, and in fact it has a
framework for writing 8250 like drivers. This makes it easy to extend
it to include support for the mini uart.
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_dw.c is an example of a driver that
overrides the interrupt handler. So a 8250_bcm2835.c can easily be
made with interrupt sharing as you suggest (and aux enabling). But
this means that the irq status register has to be included in the
syscon regmap as well.

With the Module parameter share_irqs=1 the stock 8250 driver will
request a shared irq, but you can also control it via:
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_SHARE_IRQ

As for regmap support - the driver only uses the status register of
the uart so it does not need access to the shared interrupt flag register.
(If no irq condition is detected then IRQ_NoNE is returned and the
Shared irq system will call the next irq handler in the list)

So all that is left to do is enabling the uart device in the aux-enable
registers using regmap and then the uart can get used.

IIRC I've run the CM with the RPi B DT. I've been meaning to upstream
explicit DTs for all the various RPi models, but haven't manage to get
around to that yet.

I haven't looked at the registers to be sure of the structure and hence
if this is good advice, but creating an IRQ controller driver for the
aux registers (as Mark intimated) sounds like a good idea.

I'd suggest leaving named after the "first" chip the driver supports, in
a similar fashion to how DT compatible values work. There's zero benefit
from renaming existing drivers, and having new drivers continue with the
existing naming convention would leave everything nice and consistent.

I'd suggest avoiding syscon. IIUC, it just exposes raw register IO for
the shared register region, which is very "non-semantic", hence
completely hides what the reason the registers are being touched. I'd
much prefer a custom driver with use-case-specific APIs. If the
registers implement an IRQ mux/demux, an explicit IRQ controller driver
would be much better.

IIUC, these registers aren't part of the main IRQ controller's register
set, and hence shouldn't be touched by the main IRQ controller driver.
Create a separate driver for entirely separate HW blocks/functionality/...

Hopefully the license of that tar file allows for that. I didn't look.

As mentioned elsewhere, I'd hope all the shared aux register

I expect that function will go away when my previous comment is
resolved. If not, it'd be nice to encode the "ID" of the device into DT,
so that the driver has no hard-coded idea of what register addresses
exist; what happens when (a hypothetical) bcm2837 comes along with 3
instances of this HW block?

You probably want remove() to do things in the reverse order of probe().
In particular, disable the clock after anything that could touch
registers in the HW.

I am on a business-trip right now, so I can not check the mailing list
that often and my access to a rpi to develop is also limited hence
the V3 patch set took some time to get out of the door and crossed
the responses you had sent.

Well, I just took the values from the released video driver for those values
where doe documentation is obviously wrong - essentially clarifying
the SPI_STAT register on page 25.

I just found this email after having sent the latest version of the patch
that makes use of syscon/regmap to serialize access to the
 bcm2835_AUX_ENABLE register - that is all that it is really needed for.

>From my perspective it seems that a new driver just would produce
more code (to maintain) for something that the syscon driver already
provides. If someone starts to enable aux-uart, then it could go with
a new framework, but that is still more code that needs to get maintained
than just using syscon as that "shared" driver.

As for hardcoded ids, that may be the case, but I just wanted to keep
Device tree as minimal as necessary...
If we get to that situation then we can easily move that to some
other logic...

Finally with regards to interrupts: these are shared anyway so I
wonder why we would want to write an extra irq chip driver when
it works as is anyway.

If someone thinks that is of a performance advantage then this
extra layer of indirection could get written and we would only need
to change the device-tree to use the new irq vectors instead.

But we are really only talking about 2 drivers and 3 interrupt sources.

I don't care so much about the internal code details; anything there can
be trivially changed. But please do make sure the DT correctly
represents the HW by:

* Having a separate DT node for each HW block (SPI controller, UART, and
any shared interrupt mux/demux/controller/...)

* If e.g. the SPI controller driver is going to need to manipulate the
"shared interrupt mux/demux/controller/...", there should be a phandle
from the SPI controller node to the "shared interrupt
mux/demux/controller/..." node, rather than listing the shared registers
in each "client"'s reg property.

That is what we have with the v3 patch:
* spi1
* spi2
* syscon controlling the aux-enable register
  (only used to enable/disable the hw block)

That is not what is in the v3 release of the patch any longer.

Each of the above dt-nodes has their own (non-overlapping) register
ranges and interrupts are enabled/disabled in the respective ranges
for spi1/spi2. Also the status register of spi1/2 contain the
corresponding flags for the reason of an interrupt - so no need
to access any of the shared aux registers for that - hence the use
of IRQF_SHARED.

OK, having separate nodes is great.

However, I'd like to see a "semantic" driver for the shared register
region rather than a "syscon". IIUC, "syscon" simply provides a stylized
way for one driver to touch some shared registers directly without any
semantics. I'd strongly prefer to see a real driver inside Linux rather
than something that just lets drivers fiddle with the shared registers
willy nilly. Still, this aspect is an internal implementation detail
inside the kernel that we can change without external impact later if we
need.

More concerning: The bcm283x HW doesn't implement a "syscon" module, but
some semantic IP block. The DT should contain a real compatible value
that describes what the HW block really is, not just "syscon". We could
bind the syscon driver to this compatible value if we have to for now.

So, do I understand you correctly that if we would call the node 
bcm2835aux_enable as syscon with only the enable bit field register in it 
and add a enable_reg (pointing to the above) and enable_reg_mask=2 or 4
to the spi1/2 nodes then it would be acceptable? 

Would look like this:
spi2@7e2150c0 {
+    compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux-spi";
+    reg = <0x7e2150c0 0x40>;
+    interrupts = <1 29>;
+    clocks = <&clk_spi>;
+    #address-cells = <1>;
+    #size-cells = <0>;
+    cs-gpios = <&gpio 43>, <&gpio 44>, <&gpio 45>;
+    enable_reg = <&bcm2835aux_enable>;
+    enable_reg_mask = 4;
+};
+
+/* the necessary syscon config referenced above */
+bcm2835aux_enable: bcm2835aux_enable@0x7e215004 {
+    compatible = "syscon";
+    reg = <0x7e215004 0x04>;
+};


The uart aux driver would use:
+    enable_reg = <&bcm2835aux_enable>;
+    enable_reg_mask = 1;

Or maybe you would prefer a different naming?

The only use-case would be using:
regmap_update_bits(enable_reg, 0, enable_reg_mask, enable_reg_mask); /*enable */
regmap_update_bits(enable_reg, 0, enable_reg_mask, 0); /* disable */

I think I'd expect the shared registers to be:

bcm2835aux: misc@0x7e215000 {
    compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux";
    reg = <0x7e215000 0x08>;
};

There are two 4-byte registers outside the UART/SPI blocks, and the
compatible value should reflect what the block is, not that Linux may
use a syscon driver to implement the driver for it.

In the client, I'd expect a more semantic naming for the reference;
something like:

	brcm,aux = <&bcm2835aux 4>;

brcm, since it's a custom/vendor-specific property. aux is the name of
the object that's referenced. Packing the phandle and data together into
a single property reduces the number of separate properties, and is a
typical thing to do in a client of a service in DT.

So in the end you are saying we need a separate driver to get written
(because of ‘compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux”;’)

That is unless you would allow:
compatible = compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux”, “syscon”;

If this is not acceptable, then where should such a driver go in the
kernel tree?

It would essentially implement the following:
bcm2835aux_enable(dev, device-id);
bcm2835aux_disable(dev, device-id);

Which would just set/clean the bits in the register while holding a lock.

As an alternative: maybe we could implement it as an IRQ driver
and when the irq is requested for that device, then the HW-block gets
enabled automatically (and disabled when released).

That way we may not need to have a separate driver that would enable
the uart1, but it would be sufficient to configure it as follows:

uart1: uart@7e215040 {
	compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux-uart", "ns16550";
	reg = <0x7e215040 0x40>;
	interrupts = <X 0>;
	clock-frequency = <500000000>;
	reg-shift = <2>;
	no-loopback-test;
	status = "disabled";
};

(taken from the foundation device-tree)

Please clarify

Thanks,

It's fine if some existing driver matches that compatible value.

"syscon" definitely shouldn't be in a DT.

That sounds reasonable. I'd also expect a function that the client
drivers could call during probe() to look up the device (and implement
deferred probe) and another to release the reference during the client's
remove().

That seems a bit too implicit; there's no strict requirement that a
driver for e.g. the SPI block has to use an interrupt; it's merely
extremely likely.

> That way we may not need to have a separate driver that would enable
> the uart1, but it would be sufficient to configure it as follows:

Surely the IRQ driver would be a separate driver either way? The only
difference is whether it exposes custom APIs, or does things as a
side-effect of the existing IRQ API.

But the bigger question you have not answered is: “where should such an
auxiliar driver go in the kernel tree?” i.e. which directory?

I really do not want to implement it and then get told: “that should not
go here” - been thru too many iterations already…

Also I am not sure I understood the “defer” thingy.
I thought of actually implementing only 2 functions to use during probe
and removal:
* bcm2835aux_enable(dev)
* bcm2835aux_disable(dev)

Both would pick up the “bcrm,aux” property from the device tree (as per 
“bcrm,aux = <&bcm2835aux 4>”) and set the enable register accordingly
holding a lock.

I still could leave those 2 functions in the spi driver for now and
when someone wants to implement the uart1, then they would need to pull
that out into a separate driver.

As for interrupt-handler: it was a simple idea that would work fine for
the bcm2835aux case to avoid configuring things for the uart, but then
you do not want the uart1 to get configured as 'compatible=“ns16650”;’
inside the device-tree, so this is not acceptable anyway (unless there
were some way to define “additional” compatibility for a driver without
modifying the driver itself).
This means we will need to implement a minimal driver for uart1 that
wraps ns16650.

But as all the drivers (spi-bcm2835aux as well as ns16650) can use
FIRQ_SHARED (and do not need to read/write the shared aux_irg registers)
the need for a interrupt controller is not there.

One thing: could the "module" be a regulator?

So drivers/regulators/bcm2835-aux-regulator.c

The devicetree would look something like this:

regulators {
     bcm2835aux_reg {
         compatible = "bcrm,bcrm-2835-aux-enable";
         reg = <0x7e215004 0x4>; /* the AUX enable register */

         bcm2835aux_uart1: {
             regulator-name = "bcm2835_aux_uart1";
             reg = <0>; /* bit 0 in enable register */
         };
         bcm2835aux_spi1: {
             regulator-name = "bcm2835_aux_spi1";
             reg = <1>; /* bit 1 in enable register */
         };
         bcm2835aux_spi2: {
             regulator-name = "bcm2835_aux_spi2";
             reg = <2>; /* bit 2 in enable register */
         };
     }
};

uart1: uart1@7e215040 {
compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux-uart";
     reg = <0x7e215040 0x40>;
     ...
     vcc = <&bcm2835aux_uart1>
};

spi1: spi1@7e215080 {
compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux-spi";
     reg = <0x7e215080 0x40>;
     ...
     vcc = <&bcm2835aux_spi1>
};

spi2: spi2@7e2150C0 {
compatible = "brcm,bcm2835-aux-spi";
     reg = <0x7e2150C0 0x40>;
     ...
     vcc = <&bcm2835aux_spi2>
};

And the necessary driver-side code for bcm2835aux_spi and
bcm2835aux_uart would be along those lines:

probe:
   /* get the "power-supply" */
   bs->power = devm_regulator_get(dev, "vcc");
   if ((PTR_ERR(priv->power) == -EPROBE_DEFER)
     return -EPROBE_DEFER
   /* enable the power-supply */
   regulator_enable(bs->power);

remove:
   regulator_disable(bs->power);

Would that look like an acceptable solution?

Thanks,
	Martin

IMHO that won't be acceptable.

How about a multifunction device driver (drivers/mfd)?

Other candidates could be drivers/soc or drivers/misc.

Could it be a power domain driver?
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/power_domain.txt

There are currently a deferred probing issue that might be a problem
depending on the module linking order:

Why would it not be acceptable?

It provides all sorts of methods and you do not have to implement all of them.
Enable and disable would be sufficient.
On top it would be a generic interface.

Even the mcp251x can driver uses 2 of those to enable/disable  the controller chip 
and the transceiver (and 2 dummy regulators if none are defined) 
There are also gpio regulators to switch a gpio to enable/disable a power-supply.

So with all those features it should be fairly standard to be used for
such things.

See here for a bit of documentation:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/power/regulator/design.txt
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/power/regulator/consumer.txt
(Especially point 2 about enable/disable)

Also possible...

first of all, sorry i didn't follow this thread in every detail. My 
intention was to give you some ideas. I'm a not maintainer.

IMU a regulator is a hardware part who controls voltage or current.

Does it apply in your case?

Any question: would a user expect this function in the regulator framework?

Regards Stefan

I am just trying to find a solution that will get accepted with the minimum
number of reposts/rewrites to avoid frustration, but nobody has an answer
which api we really should use.

The problem is that we have DT and we have code and as we only want HW
being represented in the device tree we need something “sensible”.

What about adding “bcrm,bcm2835-aux-enable” to drivers/mfd/syscon.c
compatibility?

That way we:
* have a clean dt that only represents hardware
* reuse existing code with minimal modifications
* minimal effort

That would be a minimal patch to enable this, so we can ask if that is
acceptable and if it is not then we can still think of something else,
which would be mostly replicating the bit-management portion of syscon.

Sometimes I wish there was a way to “extend” compatibility of a driver
by just adding something to the device-tree (say compatibility) or define 
it in the platform config c-files without having to touch the actual
drivers to add that compatibility string...

Martin

that minimal patch extending compatibility of syscon and also including
the config portion for the kernel as well as the device tree would look
something like this (note that it is not tested yet):

Then what would be missing is the config of the spi/uart devices
that would require a property in the device-tree like:
	bcrm,aux-enable = <&aux-enable 1 /* bitmask for device */>;

which then would be used by the respective drivers like this:
enable:
  regmap_update_bits(bs->aux_enable, 0,
		     bs->aux_enable_mask, bs->aux_enable_mask);
disable:
  regmap_update_bits(bs->aux_enable, 0,
		     bs->aux_enable_mask, 0);

Is this something that you would accept?

Unfortunately the above does not work with syscon, as it
_explicitly_ requires a compatibility of “syscon”:

        if (!of_device_is_compatible(np, "syscon"))
                return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);

So by the rational of device-tree representing only the
hardware this driver should never get used because of this
limitation

Replicating syscon/regmap into a separate driver that has explicit
compatibility of “bcrm, bcm2835-aux” results in more than 162 lines
of extra code (plus changes to Makefile and Kconfig)

So I wonder if it would not be acceptable to allow:
  compatiblity = “bcrm,bcm2835-aux”, “syscon”;

and avoid an unnecessary extra driver which provides only
the following functions:

void bcm2835aux_enable(struct bcm2835aux *aux, u32 mask);
void bcm2835aux_disable(struct bcm2835aux *aux, u32 mask);
struct bcm2835aux *bcm2835aux_lookup_by_phandle(
	struct device_node *np,
	const char *property);

all of which are available almost identical in syscon/regmap.

We can also try to discuss if a modification to syscon so that it
also checks the “explicit” compatibility in the configured list.

syscon is hardware independent, which is used by many platforms. It 
won't be a good idea to change that only to safe some extra code.

Please think of the benefits of a separate driver for aux peripheral
like extensibility in the near future (e.g. power management).

That'd probably be fine. The important thing is to get the DT right
since that's an ABI. The implementation can be refactored/rewritten at
will later provided the right info is in the DT.

If you go this route, deferred probe isn't relevant.

The HW docs aren't very detailed on this point, but they certainly don't
state that these bits control a regulator (or power domain as mentioned

assumption to me. The HW modules seem small enough that it doesn't feel
likely anyone would have bothered with power-gating them.
