#1634844 — [PATCH v5 0/5] Add ARM Mali Midgard device tree bindings and gpu node for rk3288

The ARM Mali Midgard GPU kernel driver is only available
out-of-tree and is not going to be merged in its current form.
However, it would be useful to have its device tree bindings
merged.  In particular, this would enable distributions to create
working driver packages (dkms...) without having to patch the
kernel.

The bindings for the earlier Mali Utgard GPU family have already
been merged, so this is essentially the same scenario but for
newer GPUs (Mali-T604 ~ Mali-T880).

This series of patches first imports the bindings from the latest
driver release with some clean-up then adds a gpu node for the
rk3288 SoC.  This was successfully tested on Radxa Rock2 Square,
Firefly, Veyron Minnie and Jerry boards using Mali kernel driver
r16p0 and r12p0 user-space binary.


Changes since v1:
- enabled gpu on rk3288-veyron boards

Changes since v2:
- removed "clk-names" property and "clk_mali" name
- converted values of "interrupt-names" property to
  lower-case: "job", "mmu" and "gpu"
- replaced dt compatible strings with list of all Midgard GPU variants and
  optional vendors
- cleaned up gpu node example

Changes since v3:
- add "rockchip,rk3288-mali" vendor compatible string
- move gpu node at the right location in rk3288.dtsi
- use operating-points-v2 in documentation and rk3288.dtsi

Changes since v4:
- removed wildcards (mali-t60x, -t62x)
- vendor compatible strings are not optional any more
- example updated accordingly, based on rk3288

#1634846 — [PATCH v5 1/5] dt-bindings: gpu: add bindings for the ARM Mali Midgard GPU

The ARM Mali Midgard GPU family is present in a number of SoCs
from many different vendors such as Samsung Exynos and Rockchip.

Import the device tree bindings documentation from the r16p0
release of the Mali Midgard GPU kernel driver:

  https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/mali-drivers/kernel/mali-midgard-gpu/TX011-SW-99002-r16p0-00rel0.tgz

Remove the copyright and GPL licence header as deemed not necessary.

Redesign the "compatible" property strings to list all the Mali
Midgard GPU types and add vendor specific ones.

Drop the "clock-names" property as the Mali Midgard GPU uses only one
clock (the driver now needs to call clk_get with NULL).

Convert the "interrupt-names" property values to lower-case: "job",
"mmu" and "gpu".

Replace the deprecated "operating-points" optional property with
"operating-points-v2".

Omit the following optional properties in this initial version as they
are only used in very specific cases:

  * snoop_enable_smc
  * snoop_disable_smc
  * jm_config
  * power_model
  * system-coherency
  * ipa-model

Update the example accordingly to reflect all these changes, based on
rk3288 mali-t760.

The actual devicetree parts are all Rockchip-specific, so I guess I'll just
pick up the whole series, including the binding doc, after the merge
window if nobody complains before that :-)

I won't suggest such combine. We meet some problems at mali 400 serial.
I would suggest the kernel version would match the user library.
Also please notice there is rk3288w, the hardware version becomes r1p0.

Anyway, could you verify the mali userspace library r13p0?
Rockchip would use this version to offer the support of X11, wayland and 
gbm.

It is not a new SoC, just a new version of rk3288. It fixes a various of 
the chip bug of the rk3288.

The latest user-space binary available from developer.arm.com for
rk3288 is 12p0.  Maybe Rockchip could make some new binaries
available to the public?

> Rockchip would use this version to offer the support of X11, wayland and gbm.

Sounds great, although windowing systems are quite far away from
GPU device tree bindings so I don't think this is too relevant
for this current patch series.

On a side note, it would be fantastic to get all this available
in Debian packages :)

I see.  I don't have access to any rk3288w platform but if you do
then I guess it would be nice if you could test these patches on
it :)  Also I'm not sure if all rk3288 device trees changes must
be tested on rk3288w, and this SoC is not mentioned anywhere in
the kernel (as far as I can tell).

Is there anything you think should block these current patches
which only claim to support rk3288 from being merged?

>> Unless it's a special case, it seems to me that any new SoC with

P.S. kernel branch with a Mali driver I used for testing:

From what I've read on #linux-rockchip:

<wzyy2> rk3288w have some differences:  USB HOST : add ohci, fix ehci bug  GPU : update rev
<wzyy2> VOP, video codec, rga : some bug fix
<wzyy2> hdmi :  HDCP2.2

So from, yes a new gpu-revision, but that shouldn't affect this series.
From the above I guess the hooks into the rest of the soc haven't changed
so rk3288-mali should still be enough and the driver normally can detect
and handle revision differences.

And if there are really severe changes appearing later on _and_ we actually
get special support for the rk3288w in the kernel (googling for rk3288w
mentions it in conjunction with windows 10) there is nothing speaking
against having a rk3288w-mali compatible at that time.

There are prototype debian packages here:
https://git.linaro.org/people/wookey/mali/mali-dkms.git/
https://git.linaro.org/people/wookey/mali/mali-drivers.git/

Which I'm very happy to get feedback on if people try them with
guillaume's DTB patches.

Quite hacky at the moment, but I want to prove they work at all before
tarting up the packaging.

Well, I can test it again with r12p0 kernel driver (out-of-tree)
if you want.  The user-space driver checks the version of the
kernel driver and gives up if it's not compatible.  With Midgard,
there's a range of versions that maintain kernel/userspace
compatibility unlike Utgard and older Midgard releases where they
had to exactly match.  Again, if there was a mismatch then the
user-space would fail to initialise and report an error.

> Also please notice there is rk3288w, the hardware version becomes r1p0.

Sounds like a new SoC?  Does rk3288w affect rk3288 in any way?

Unless it's a special case, it seems to me that any new SoC with
a Midgard GPU would need an extra vendor compatible string in the
binding documentation and maybe a separate gpu dt node.
