Hi all,
Some Renesas SoCs may exist in different revisions, providing slightly
different functionalities (e.g. R-Car H3 ES1.x and ES2.0), and behavior
(errate and quirks). This needs to be catered for by drivers and/or
platform code. The recently proposed soc_device_match() API seems like
a good fit to handle this.
This patch series implements the core infrastructure to provide SoC and
revision information through the SoC bus for Renesas ARM SoCs. It
consists of 7 patches:
- Patches 1-4 provide soc_device_match(), with some related fixes,
- Patches 5-7 implement identification of Renesas SoCs and
registration with the SoC bus,
Changes compared to v1:
- Add Acked-by,
- New patches:
- "[4/7] base: soc: Provide a dummy implementation of
soc_device_match()",
- "[5/7] ARM: shmobile: Document DT bindings for CCCR and PRR",
- "[6/7] arm64: dts: r8a7795: Add device node for PRR"
(more similar patches available, I'm not yet spamming you all
with them),
- Drop SoC families and family names; use fixed "Renesas" instead,
- Drop EMEV2, which doesn't have a chip ID register, and doesn't share
devices with other SoCs,
- Drop RZ/A1H and R-CAR M1A, which don't have chip ID registers (for
M1A: not accessible from the ARM core?),
- On arm, move "select SOC_BUS" from ARCH_RENESAS to Kconfig symbols
for SoCs that provide a chip ID register,
- Build renesas-soc only if SOC_BUS is enabled,
- Use "renesas,prr" and "renesas,cccr" device nodes in DT if
available, else fall back to hardcoded addresses for compatibility
with existing DTBs,
- Remove verification of product IDs; just print the ID instead,
- Don't register the SoC bus if the chip ID register is missing,
- Change R-Mobile APE6 fallback to use PRR instead of CCCR (it has
both).
Merge strategy:
- In theory, patches 1-4 should go through Greg's driver core tree.
But it's a hard dependency for all users.
If people agree, I can provide an immutable branch in my
renesas-drivers repository, to be merged by all interested parties.
So far I'm aware of Freescale/NXP, and Renesas.
- Patches 5-7 obviously have to go through Simon's Renesas tree (after
merging the soc_device_match() core), and arm-soc.

If soc_device_register() is called before soc_bus_register(), it crashes
with a NULL pointer dereference.
soc_bus_register() is already a core_initcall(), but drivers/base/ is
entered later than e.g. drivers/pinctrl/ and drivers/soc/. Hence there
are several subsystems that may need to know SoC revision information,
while it's not so easy to initialize the SoC bus even earlier using an
initcall.
To fix this, let soc_device_register() register the bus early if that
hasn't happened yet.

If soc_device_match() is used to check the value of a specific

Fix this by explicitly checking for the absence of a needed property,

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
We keep running into cases where device drivers want to know the exact
version of the a SoC they are currently running on. In the past, this has
usually been done through a vendor specific API that can be called by a
driver, or by directly accessing some kind of version register that is
not part of the device itself but that belongs to a global register area
of the chip.
Common reasons for doing this include:
- A machine is not using devicetree or similar for passing data about
on-chip devices, but just announces their presence using boot-time
platform devices, and the machine code itself does not care about the
revision.
- There is existing firmware or boot loaders with existing DT binaries
with generic compatible strings that do not identify the particular
revision of each device, but the driver knows which SoC revisions
include which part.
- A prerelease version of a chip has some quirks and we are using the same
version of the bootloader and the DT blob on both the prerelease and the
final version. An update of the DT binding seems inappropriate because
that would involve maintaining multiple copies of the dts and/or
bootloader.
This patch introduces the soc_device_match() interface that is meant to
work like of_match_node() but instead of identifying the version of a
device, it identifies the SoC itself using a vendor-agnostic interface.
Unlike of_match_node(), we do not do an exact string compare but instead
use glob_match() to allow wildcards in strings.

Identify the SoC type and revision, and register this information with
the SoC bus, so it is available under /sys/devices/soc0/, and can be
checked where needed using soc_device_match().
Identification is done using the Product Register or Common Chip Code
Register, as declared in DT, or using a hardcoded fallback if missing.

I only see patches 2, 3, 5, and 7 in my inbox, so I'm lacking the DT
binding for these, among other things.
It does seem wrong to have a device node for a specific register though.
Shouldn't the node be for the block of registers that these are inside
of?
- Don't register the SoC bus if the chip ID register is missing,
Why? My objection was to hardcoding the register, not to registering
the device? I think I'd rather see the device registered with an
empty revision string.
My preference here would be to list the register address only for
SoCs that are known to need them, while also having .dtb files that
don't have the nodes.
Here, I'd turn the order around and look for the DT nodes of the
devices first. Only if they are not found, look at the compatible
string of the root node. No need to search for a node though,
you know which one it is when you look for a compatible =
"renesas,r8a73a4".

Arnd: are you happy with the new patches and changes?
I still had some comments for patch 7, but that shouldn't stop
you from creating a branch for the first three so everyone can
build on top of that.
Thanks!
What about patch [4/7]?
Haven't you received it? Your address was in the To-line for all 7 patches.
Ok, I see it now, looks good. That should be included as well then.
Thanks, I've created the branch/tag :
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geert/renesas-drivers.git
branch soc-device-match
signed tag soc-device-match-tag1
In the mean time, Ulf has applied the first two patches to mmc/next, on top
of lots of MMC work :-(
Ulf, as this is not only a dependency for Freescale/NXP (for sdhci-of-esdhc),
but also for Samsung and Renesas, would it still be possible to replace these
two commits
8b82c17a8ae533d6 base: soc: introduce soc_device_match() interface

I think I'd rather have seen the family names left in there, but it's
not important, so up to you.
They're not useful for matching, as family names may change anytime, and don't
always say much about the hardware capabilities.
E.g. SH-Mobile -> R-Mobile -> R-Car | RZ/A | RZ/G
Some SH-Mobile (even some R-Car) parts are SuperH only, others have ARM and
SuperH.
At least the SoC part numbers are stable (hmm, sh73a0 == r8a73a0).

- Use "renesas,prr" and "renesas,cccr" device nodes in DT if

with existing DTBs,
I only see patches 2, 3, 5, and 7 in my inbox, so I'm lacking the DT
binding for these, among other things.
I understand you've received them in the mean time?
It does seem wrong to have a device node for a specific register though.
Shouldn't the node be for the block of registers that these are inside
of?
On R-Mobile APE6, R-Car Gen2 and Gen3, PRR is a lone register.
On R-Car Gen1, it's not even documented (and doesn't exist on all parts).
On SH-Mobile/R-Mobile, CCCR may be part of the HPB/APB register block, which
we further don't touch at all.
On R-Car Gen2, it's not documented, but does exist.
BTW, see why I'd prefer not to have it in DT at all, and go for KISS in code
we can change at any time? To avoid mistakes we have to keep on supporting
forever.
quoted
- Don't register the SoC bus if the chip ID register is missing,
Why? My objection was to hardcoding the register, not to registering
the device? I think I'd rather see the device registered with an
empty revision string.
If there's no chip ID register, there's no reason to use soc_device_match(),
as we can always look at a compatible value. All SoCs listed in this driver
have a chip ID register.
if you want me to register the soc_bus for those SoCs regardless, I want to
re-add r7s72100 (RZ/A) and r8a7778 (R-Car M1A), who don't have chip ID
registers ;-)
My preference here would be to list the register address only for
SoCs that are known to need them, while also having .dtb files that
don't have the nodes.
Even if drivers don't have to handle differences, there's been a long
outstanding request to print SoC revision information during bootup
(E.g. "Does it still work on ES1.0?"). Hence that covers all SoCs.
Here, I'd turn the order around and look for the DT nodes of the
devices first. Only if they are not found, look at the compatible
string of the root node. No need to search for a node though,
you know which one it is when you look for a compatible =
"renesas,r8a73a4".
"renesas,r8a73a4" is the root node, not the device, so it does not have the
"reg" property for reading the chip ID?
There is no SoC part number in the "renesas,prr" and "renesas,cccr" nodes.
Hence I always need to look at the root nodes.

On R-Mobile APE6, R-Car Gen2 and Gen3, PRR is a lone register.

If there's no chip ID register, there's no reason to use soc_device_match(),
as we can always look at a compatible value. All SoCs listed in this driver

But you may still have user space tools looking into sysfs, e.g. to
figure out how to install a kernel that the boot loader can find,
or which hardware specific distro packages to install.
if you want me to register the soc_bus for those SoCs regardless, I want to
re-add r7s72100 (RZ/A) and r8a7778 (R-Car M1A), who don't have chip ID
registers ;-)
Right. Just don't encode too much knowledge about the SoCs into the
driver, so we are prepared for adding new ones: We should still look
for the registers in DT on all chips.
My preference here would be to list the register address only for
SoCs that are known to need them, while also having .dtb files that

Not sure what that would protect you from. Could you have a renesas,cccr

If you know the name of the register block, just put it into DT with
that name. The driver can trivially add the right offset.
CCCR is different. The amount of registers that read as non-zero depends a lot
on the actual SoC.
HPB/APB is gonna need real DT bindings, which needs some more investigation.
Hence if you don't mind, I'd like to postpone that part, which only affects
the older SoCs. And I'll drop the "renesas,cccr" binding.
For now, having revision detection for R-Car Gen3 (r8a779[56]) using PRR is
most urgent, as several drivers (e.g. HDMI, Ethernet, clocks, pinctrl) are
waiting for this support. So I'd like to have that dependency in v4.10.
