| Subject | [PATCH v4 0/4] OF phandle nexus support + GPIO nexus |
| Message-ID | <udkmd-5jx-7@gated-at.bofh.it> |
This is a continutation of my phandle remapping/nexus node series from a while ago. I finally got around to writing the documentation in the spec for this, but it's really rough around the edges and could use some review/suggestions to get it into shape. Please review! This is one small chunk of work related to DT overlays for expansion boards. It would be good to have a way to expose #<list>-cells types of providers through a connector in a standard way. So we introduce a way to make "nexus" nodes for these types of properties to remap the consumer number space to the other side of the connector's number space. It's basically a copy of the interrupt nexus implementation, but without the address space matching design and interrupt-parent walking. Changes since v3: * Added devicetree spec patch * Rebased to v4.13-rc1 Changes since v2: * Picked up Linus' ack on the gpio core patch * Made const stack arrays static (Rob Herring) * Used of_property_read_u32() instead of open coding (Rob Herring) Changes since v1: * Addition of optional pass-thru parameter * Reduction of strings passed to 1 instead of 3 (or 4 now) * Updated gpio patch for the new function signature * Updated test-case for new funciton signature and pass-thru parameter * Updated kernel-doc to be correct and highlighted difference between this API and of_parse_phandle_with_args() Stephen Boyd (3): Document nexus nodes/specifier remapping of: Support parsing phandle argument lists through a nexus node of: unittest: Add phandle remapping test gpio: Support gpio nexus dt bindings Kernel: drivers/gpio/gpiolib-of.c | 4 +- drivers/of/base.c | 184 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/of/unittest-data/testcases.dts | 11 ++ drivers/of/unittest-data/tests-phandle.dtsi | 25 ++++ drivers/of/unittest.c | 120 ++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/of.h | 12 ++ 6 files changed, 354 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) Spec: source/devicetree-basics.rst | 208 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 208 insertions(+) -- 2.7.4

| Message-ID | <udkme-5jx-13@gated-at.bofh.it> |
| In reply to | #1709757 |
Platforms like 96boards have a standardized connector/expansion
slot that exposes signals like GPIOs to expansion boards in an
SoC agnostic way. We'd like the DT overlays for the expansion
boards to be written once without knowledge of the SoC on the
other side of the connector. This avoids the unscalable
combinatorial explosion of a different DT overlay for each
expansion board and SoC pair.
We need a way to describe the GPIOs routed through the connector
in an SoC agnostic way. Let's introduce nexus property parsing
into the OF core to do this. This is largely based on the
interrupt nexus support we already have. This allows us to remap
a phandle list in a consumer node (e.g. reset-gpios) through a
connector in a generic way (e.g. via gpio-map). Do this in a
generic routine so that we can remap any sort of variable length
phandle list.
Taking GPIOs as an example, the connector would be a GPIO nexus,
supporting the remapping of a GPIO specifier space to multiple
GPIO providers on the SoC. DT would look as shown below, where
'soc_gpio1' and 'soc_gpio2' are inside the SoC, 'connector' is an
expansion port where boards can be plugged in, and
'expansion_device' is a device on the expansion board.
soc {
soc_gpio1: gpio-controller1 {
#gpio-cells = <2>;
};
soc_gpio2: gpio-controller2 {
#gpio-cells = <2>;
};
};
connector: connector {
#gpio-cells = <2>;
gpio-map = <0 0 &soc_gpio1 1 0>,
<1 0 &soc_gpio2 4 0>,
<2 0 &soc_gpio1 3 0>,
<3 0 &soc_gpio2 2 0>;
gpio-map-mask = <0xf 0x0>;
gpio-map-pass-thru = <0x0 0x1>
};
expansion_device {
reset-gpios = <&connector 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
};
The GPIO core would use of_parse_phandle_with_args_map() instead
of of_parse_phandle_with_args() and arrive at the same type of
result, a phandle and argument list. The difference is that the
phandle and arguments will be remapped through the nexus node to
the underlying SoC GPIO controller node. In the example above,
we would remap 'reset-gpios' from <&connector 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>
to <&soc_gpio1 3 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>.

Platforms like 96boards have a standardized connector/expansion
slot that exposes signals like GPIOs to expansion boards in an
SoC agnostic way. We'd like the DT overlays for the expansion
boards to be written once without knowledge of the SoC on the
other side of the connector. This avoids the unscalable
combinatorial explosion of a different DT overlay for each
expansion board and SoC pair.
Now that we have nexus support in the OF core let's change the
function call here that parses the phandle lists of gpios to use
the nexus variant. This allows us to remap phandles and their
arguments through any number of nexus nodes and end up with the
actual gpio provider being used.

I'm inclined to merge the kernel parts now and sort the spec addition out afterwards. With no users yet, we can still tweak things if needed. I would like to see more comments on this though. Perhaps "OF phandle nexus" is too obscure. Maybe "Add DT overlay connector bindings" would trick some people in looking at it... Rob
