[PATCH v3] mfd: syscon: Decouple syscon interface from platform devices

From: Pankaj Dubey <hidden>
Date: 2014-09-17 06:36:33 

Currently a syscon entity can be only registered directly through a
platform device that binds to a dedicated syscon driver. However in
certain use cases it is desirable to make a device used with another
driver a syscon interface provider.

For example, certain SoCs (e.g. Exynos) contain system controller
blocks which perform various functions such as power domain control,
CPU power management, low power mode control, but in addition contain
certain IP integration glue, such as various signal masks,
coprocessor power control, etc. In such case, there is a need to have
a dedicated driver for such system controller but also share registers
with other drivers. The latter is where the syscon interface is helpful.

In case of DT based platforms, this patch decouples syscon object from
syscon platform driver, and allows to create syscon objects first time
when it is required by calling of syscon_regmap_lookup_by APIs and keep
a list of such syscon objects along with syscon provider device_nodes
and regmap handles.

For non-DT based platforms, this patch keeps syscon platform driver
structure where is can be probed and such non-DT based drivers can use
syscon_regmap_lookup_by_pdev API and get access to regmap handles.
Once all users of "syscon_regmap_lookup_by_pdev" migrated to DT based,
we can completly remove platform driver of syscon, and keep only helper
functions to get regmap handles.

V2 of this patchset and related discussion can be found here [1].

Changes since v2:
 - Added back platform device support from syscon, with one change that
   syscon will not be probed for DT based platform.
 - Added back syscon_regmap_lookup_by_pdevname API so that non-DT base
   users of syscon will not be broken.
 - Removed unwanted change in syscon.h.
 - Modified Signed-off-by list, added Suggested-by of Tomasz Figa and
   Arnd Bergmann.
 - Added Tested-by of Vivek Gautam for testing on Exynos platform.

Changes since v1:
 - Removed of_syscon_unregister function.
 - Modified of_syscon_register function and it will be used by syscon.c 
   to create syscon objects whenever required. 
 - Removed platform device support from syscon.
 - Removed syscon_regmap_lookup_by_pdevname API support.
 - As there are significant changes w.r.t patchset v1, I am taking over
   author for this patchset from Tomasz Figa.

Yes, it is safe, at least we are able to test on Exynos based SoC. 
I have tested it with kgene/for-next kernel on Exynos3250.
Also it has been tested on Exynos5250 based Snow board with 3.17-rc5 based
kernel
by Vivek Gautam. 

Patch V2 also has been tested by "Borris Brezillon" on AT91 platform.


I just tested on MX6SX SDB board and it seemed crashed at here in

Can you please provide crash log which can give more information about the

After he reported I have again done code walk-through of regmap_init_mmio

could not see any such fatal error.  At the same time I have replied to Dong
Aisheng,
asking for more details and waiting for his reply.

The kernel i tested was next-20140915 of linux-next.

please see regmap_get_val_endian called in regmap_init function.

        enum regmap_endian endian;

}
It will crash at the first line of dev->of_node if dev is NULL.

Can you check if you're using the same code as mine?

V2 of this patchset and related discussion can be found here [1].

Changes since v2:
 - Added back platform device support from syscon, with one change that
   syscon will not be probed for DT based platform.
 - Added back syscon_regmap_lookup_by_pdevname API so that non-DT base
   users of syscon will not be broken.
 - Removed unwanted change in syscon.h.
 - Modified Signed-off-by list, added Suggested-by of Tomasz Figa and
   Arnd Bergmann.
 - Added Tested-by of Vivek Gautam for testing on Exynos platform.
Looks fine. Provided you can figure out the problem that Dong Aisheng
reported,

please add my

Thanks. 
After he reported I have again done code walk-through of regmap_init_mmio
and 
could not see any such fatal error.  At the same time I have replied to Dong
Aisheng,
asking for more details and waiting for his reply. 
 
I just replied and gave the log.

Just move of_syscon_register() here directly.
OK, I will remove forward declaration of "of_syscon_register" and respin

Does a NULL device pointer work?
Yes, it is safe, at least we are able to test on Exynos based SoC.
I have tested it with kgene/for-next kernel on Exynos3250.
Also it has been tested on Exynos5250 based Snow board with 3.17-rc5
based kernel by Vivek Gautam.

Patch V2 also has been tested by "Borris Brezillon" on AT91 platform.

The kernel i tested was next-20140915 of linux-next.

}
It will crash at the first line of dev->of_node if dev is NULL.

Can you check if you're using the same code as mine?
No, it's not same.
My bad that I was not using linux-next for testing this patch.
We tested on kgene/for-next where these changes still have not come.
Just now I checked linux-next and found that it will crash at first line of 
"regmap_get_val_endian" as there is no check for NULL on dev.

I checked git history of regmap.c file and found recently this file has been
modified
for adding DT endianness binding support. Following are set of patches gone
for this

cf673fb regmap: Split regmap_get_endian() in two functions
5844a8b regmap: Fix handling of volatile registers for format_write() chips
45e1a27 regmap: of_regmap_get_endian() cleanup
ba1b53f regmap: Fix DT endianess parsing logic
d647c19 regmap: add DT endianness binding support.

I think there should have been a check for NULL on "dev" in
"regmap_get_val_endian", so that if dev pointer exist then only it makes
sense to get
endianness property from DT. 

I will suggest following fix in regmap.c for this. With following fix I
tested it and it works well
on linux-next also. So if you can confirm following fix is working for you
then I can post this
patch.

RE: [PATCH v3] mfd: syscon: Decouple syscon interface from platform devices

From: Li.Xiubo@freescale.com <hidden>
Date: 2014-09-18 06:33:36 

Hi Pankaj,

One more question:
For example:

regmap_read()
    ----> _regmap_read()
        ----> 2112 #ifdef LOG_DEVICE
        ----> 2113                 if (strcmp(dev_name(map->dev), LOG_DEVICE) == 0)
        ----> 2114                         dev_info(map->dev, "%x => %x\n", reg, *val);
        ----> 2115 #endif 

In dev_name(map->dev) will also encounter the same crash core trace like in
regmap_get_val_endian(dev, ...).

Could there be another method, such as using 'dummy dev' instead of 'NULL dev' ?
Just one suggestion.

Does a NULL device pointer work?
Yes, it is safe, at least we are able to test on Exynos based SoC.
I have tested it with kgene/for-next kernel on Exynos3250.
Also it has been tested on Exynos5250 based Snow board with 3.17-rc5
based kernel by Vivek Gautam.

Patch V2 also has been tested by "Borris Brezillon" on AT91 platform.

The kernel i tested was next-20140915 of linux-next.

Another question:

Then the regmap core cannot deal with the following issue:
Like the patch adding the endianness support for syscon:
    [PATCH] mfd: syscon: binding: Add syscon endianness support.

So here just register one dummy syscon device is a good choice I do
think.

But as Xiubo pointed in another mail, it may still cause other issues.
Looking at regmap.c, there're still some other places using the device pointer,
e.g. dev_xxx debug information and some tracepoints also take device pointer
as parameter(not sure if it will break if dev is NULL).
Another thing is that if dev is NULL, we may not be able to use regmap debugfs
feature which seems also not as our expected.

Maybe we could consider create device structure for each syscon compatible
device in syscon driver in of_syscon_register in first time which seems to
be reasonable.

Does a NULL device pointer work?
Yes, it is safe, at least we are able to test on Exynos based SoC.
I have tested it with kgene/for-next kernel on Exynos3250.
Also it has been tested on Exynos5250 based Snow board with
3.17-rc5 based kernel by Vivek Gautam.

Patch V2 also has been tested by "Borris Brezillon" on AT91
platform.

please see regmap_get_val_endian called in regmap_init function.

        struct device_node *np = dev->of_node;
        enum regmap_endian endian;
...
}
It will crash at the first line of dev->of_node if dev is NULL.

Can you check if you're using the same code as mine?
No, it's not same.
My bad that I was not using linux-next for testing this patch.
We tested on kgene/for-next where these changes still have not come.
Just now I checked linux-next and found that it will crash at first
line of "regmap_get_val_endian" as there is no check for NULL on dev.

I checked git history of regmap.c file and found recently this file
has been modified for adding DT endianness binding support. Following
are set of patches gone for this

cf673fb regmap: Split regmap_get_endian() in two functions 5844a8b
regmap: Fix handling of volatile registers for format_write() chips
45e1a27 regmap: of_regmap_get_endian() cleanup ba1b53f regmap: Fix DT
endianess parsing logic
d647c19 regmap: add DT endianness binding support.

I think there should have been a check for NULL on "dev" in
"regmap_get_val_endian", so that if dev pointer exist then only it
makes sense to get endianness property from DT.

I will suggest following fix in regmap.c for this. With following fix
I tested it and it works well on linux-next also. So if you can
confirm following fix is working for you then I can post this patch.
I tested the patch work.
Thanks for testing. In that case I will post this change, as I feel this
should be
fixed irrespective of my syscon patch.

But as Xiubo pointed in another mail, it may still cause other issues.
Looking at regmap.c, there're still some other places using the device
pointer, e.g.
dev_xxx debug information and some tracepoints also take device pointer as
parameter(not sure if it will break if dev is NULL).
Another thing is that if dev is NULL, we may not be able to use regmap
debugfs
feature which seems also not as our expected.
I would have preferred to check dev for NULL, as it's only at two places and
we could
still have debug prints for NULL dev, as normal pr_info instead of dev_info.

But Xiubo also pointed out that his patch [1] which updates syscon binding
information
will be useless if we pass NULL dev in regmap_init_mmio, which he posted
today,
and it requires dev pointer in "regmap_get_val_endian" function to read DT
property.

[1]: [PATCH] mfd: syscon: binding: Add syscon endianness support
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/18/67

So instead of adding dummy device or creating device structure, I would
prefer to get actual
device pointer corresponding to "np" passed in of_syscon_register function
as shown below:

----
static struct syscon *of_syscon_register(struct device_node *np)
 {
+	struct platform_device *pdev;
 	struct syscon *syscon;
 	struct regmap *regmap;
 	void __iomem *base;

 		return ERR_CAST(regmap);
-------

I have tested this in linux-next and it works well. In this way there won't
be any issues of 
dereferencing NULL pointer in regmap.c and at the same time, if DT has
{big,little}-endian
optional property in syscon device node, it will be taken care.

So I would wait for Arnd's opinion about above mentioned changes and then
post a new
change after addressing Arnd's minor comment along with this fix in next
revision.

Maybe we could consider create device structure for each syscon compatible
device in
syscon driver in of_syscon_register in first time which seems to be
reasonable.

As default the Linux will create all the platform device for each DT node, which
Can be found from "drivers/of/platform.c".

So we can get the pdev node using the specified DT node, and feel safe to use
it as Pankaj's patch does.

And also we must make sure that the 'syscon' DT nodes has the compatible prop.

be any issues of

Maybe we could consider create device structure for each syscon compatible
device in
quoted
syscon driver in of_syscon_register in first time which seems to be
reasonable.

Thanks for testing. In that case I will post this change, as I feel this
should be
fixed irrespective of my syscon patch.

But as Xiubo pointed in another mail, it may still cause other issues.
Looking at regmap.c, there're still some other places using the device
pointer, e.g.
quoted
dev_xxx debug information and some tracepoints also take device pointer as
parameter(not sure if it will break if dev is NULL).
Another thing is that if dev is NULL, we may not be able to use regmap
debugfs
quoted
feature which seems also not as our expected.
I would have preferred to check dev for NULL, as it's only at two places and
we could
still have debug prints for NULL dev, as normal pr_info instead of dev_info.

But Xiubo also pointed out that his patch [1] which updates syscon binding
information
will be useless if we pass NULL dev in regmap_init_mmio, which he posted
today,
and it requires dev pointer in "regmap_get_val_endian" function to read DT
property.

[1]: [PATCH] mfd: syscon: binding: Add syscon endianness support
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/18/67

So instead of adding dummy device or creating device structure, I would
prefer to get actual
device pointer corresponding to "np" passed in of_syscon_register function
as shown below:
I wonder this may not work at early stage before the devices are populated
from device tree.
My initial understanding that one important thing for your patch is
to address this issue, isn't it?
Many people have asked for this feature before.

first time We use it, right ?
Yes, that's my understanding.
Thanks for all your inputs. 

First let me clarify that the main purpose of this patch, we introduced this
patch mainly because 
if some HW IP is having secondary compatibility as "syscon", syscon driver
was getting probed
and since there can be only on platform_device corresponding to one
device_node, actual driver
corresponding to that HW IP was not getting probed. So we wanted to decouple
syscon from platform
device, and any such driver should be able to become syscon provider. Please
see discussion here [1].

[1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/17/331

But while doing so eventually this patch was also able to cover the feature
of early availability of syscon
lookup APIs.

As both of you pointed out that if we use "of_find_device_by_node" and it
won't work for early users
of syscon. I also agree with that, but it just skipped from my mind while
suggesting that approach.

I reconsidered again and made following changes and tested it. Now I am able
to use syscon_lookup_by_xxxxx 
APIs, very early (before dt_machine_init) as well as after
of_platform_populate. So please review and if
it is acceptable I will post next version of this patch.

Basic idea is, check for device_node pointer in of_syscon_register, if
device corresponding to that device_node
is already populated and available use "of_find_device_by_node" else create
a dummy platform device and then
use it.
