#1653174 — [PATCH 2/2] gpio: mvebu: fix gpio bank registration when pwm is used

If more than one gpio bank has the "pwm" property, only one will be
registered successfully, all the others will fail with:
mvebu-gpio: probe of f1018140.gpio failed with error -17

That's because in alloc_pwms(), the chip->base (aka "int pwm"), was not
set (thus, ==0) ; and 0 is a meaningful start value in alloc_pwm().
What was intended is chip->base = -1.
Like that, the numbering will be done auto-magically

Tested on clearfog-pro (Marvell 88F6828)

Why not using
mvpwm->chip.base = id * MVEBU_MAX_GPIO_PER_BANK;
as it is done in the mvebu_gpio_probe() function?

I think that if you use base = -1, then the number start from (512 -
number of pin already use). So starting from a low number for one
compatible and a high number for an other compatible could be confusing.

Besides that I agree that mvpwm->chip.base must be initialized and here
again for adding mor context to this patch, we could add:

Fixes: 757642f9a584 ("gpio: mvebu: Add limited PWM support")

Yes, that was my first move:
mvpwm->chip.base = mvchip->chip.base;

But after some reflexion, mvpwm->chip.base is not the GPIO base, it's
the PWM base,
(mvpwm->chip is a struct pwm_chip), so it would we weird to have
"holes" in the declared PWMs.
I'm not clear, so here's an example:
If, in the DTS, we have:
            gpio0: gpio@18100 {
                compatible = "marvell,armada-370-xp-gpio",
                         "marvell,orion-gpio";
                reg = <0x18100 0x40>, <0x181c0 0x08>;
                reg-names = "gpio";  /* "pwm" missing */
[...]
            gpio1: gpio@18140 {
                compatible = "marvell,armada-370-xp-gpio",
                         "marvell,orion-gpio";
                reg = <0x18140 0x40>, <0x181c8 0x08>;
                reg-names = "gpio", "pwm";
In this case, if gpio0 is not declared as PWM capable, the PWM
numbering will start at 32 if we have
mvpwm->chip.base = mvchip->chip.base;
but it will start at 0 if we have mvpwm->chip.base = -1;

The pros for having mvpwm->chip.base = mvchip->chip.base; is mainly
the stable numbering:
if we add the "pwm" feature to gpio0 afterwards, the pwm numbering in
sysfs will stay the same.
And if we have mvpwm->chip.base = -1; the pwm numbering will be shifted.

Looking back at the V5 of this patch
https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg2484889.html
There was the line:
mvpwm->chip.base = mvchip->chip.base;
I guess it got lost in the v6 rebase.

So I could change it back, but I'm not sure which one is better.

yes, definitely !
should I resend the patch with it or the maintainer will add it ?

Thierry Redding pointed out that the region might already be occupied
by another PWM chip, unlikely but not impossible. That's why it got
changed for v6.

Hum, I see.

But still, if mvpwm->chip.base is 0, we will have an error in alloc_pwms():

in pmvebu_pwm_probe(), mvpwm->chip.base is set to 0 (kzalloc), then
pwmchip_add(&mvpwm->chip) is called,
which will call alloc_pwms(chip->base/* == 0 */, chip->npwm);
The 1st time (1st gpio bank), it will be ok because:
start = bitmap_find_next_zero_area(allocated_pwms, MAX_PWMS, from, count, 0);
if (pwm >= 0 && start != pwm)
     return -EEXIST;
start is 0, pwm is 0, everything is good.
BUT, on the second time (for gpio1), we will have start = 32 and pwm=0
=> -EEXIST !

So there's something to fix.
And It seems that setting mvpwm->chip.base to -1 is a good choice
since it doesn't
force the numbering to something already taken.

Richard.
