Hello,

This series is based on Thierry's for-next.

It starts with some cleanups that were all sent out separately already:

 - "pwm: Reduce number of pointer dereferences in pwm_device_request()"
   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pwm/20231130072105.966848-1-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de
 - "pwm: crc: Use consistent variable naming for driver data"
   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pwm/20231130074133.969806-1-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de
 - Two leds/qcom-lpg patches
   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-leds/20231126095230.683204-1-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de
   Lee already claimed to have taken the series already, but it's not yet in
   next.
 - "leds: qcom-lpg: Introduce a wrapper for getting driver data from a pwm chip"
   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-leds/20231124215208.616551-3-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de

In the following patches I changed:

 - "pwm: cros-ec: Change prototype of helper to prepare further changes" +
   This was simplified in response to feedback by Tzung-Bi Shih
 - Make pwmchip_priv() static (and don't export it), let drivers use a new
   pwmchip_get_drvdata() instead.
 - For drm/ti-sn65dsi86.c and leds/qcom-lpg make use of
   pwmchip_set_drvdata() which makes the conversion to
   devm_pwmchip_alloc() much prettier.
 - Some cleanups here and there
 - Add review tags received in v3
   I kept all tags even though the pwmchip_alloc() patches changed
   slightly. Most of the time that's only
   s/pwmchip_priv/pwmchip_get_drvdata/ though. Still, if you object,
   just tell me. (This affects Paul Cercueil on patch #68, Conor Dooley
   on patch #76 and Greg for patch #109.)

I kept the pwmchip_alloc() + pwmchip_register() approach despite Bart
not liking it. To balance that out I don't like Bart's alternative
approach. There are no technically relevant differences between the two
approaches and no benchmarks that show either of the two to be better
than the other. Conceptually the design ideas around pwmchip_alloc() +
pwmchip_register() are used in several other subsystems, so it's a
proven way to do things.

In the discussion about v3 Bart pointed out that there is an imbalance
in the function naming, as pwmchip_alloc() must be paired with
pwmchip_put() (and not something like pwmchip_free()). (This is hidden
from the drivers though, as they all use a devm_pwmchip_alloc() which
does the right thing for them.) I could be talked into renaming
pwmchip_alloc() to pwmchip_get_new(). I hesitated to do that though as
other subsystems also use foo_alloc() and I'm ambivalent about which is
the better name.

Thierry objected to patch "pwm: Ensure that pwm_chips are allocated
using pwmchip_alloc()". I still think it's a nice idea to do that. It
only adds very little overhead in a slow path and might save some time
for people working on an out-of-tree driver. So it also helps the folks
who currently work on new drivers for mainline who rebase on a tree
containing this series. I won't insist about that one though, it can
just be dropped.

Otherwise I should have addressed all feedback and hope the series is
now pretty enough to not cause further concerns.

The last patch shows a prototype of the motivation for improving the
lifetime tracking implemented in this series. It contains a character
device userspace API to use PWMs that is considerably faster and easier
to use than the sysfs API; apply() is faster by a factor of 4 on my test
machine (arm/stm32mp1).

Note that currently there is no known issue with lifetimes in the pwm
subsystem as device links ensure that consumers go away if a pwm_chip
gets unbound. There was an issue before, but that wasn't PWM specific
and is fixed in v6.7-rc1~77^2~3 ("driver core: Release all resources
during unbind before updating device links")[1]
In the presence of character devices making use of PWMs, such an
improved lifetime tracking becomes necessary, otherwise unloading
drivers (or unbinding/hotplugging devices) might crash the kernel.

As calls to .apply() are serialized now, the locking in several drivers
could just be dropped in a future cleanup. I didn't do that now to not
enlarge the series still more and maybe the locking in the core can be
changed to be more fine-grained (abusing(?) a reader-writer-lock) which
would allow concurrent callers for different lines of a single pwm_chip.
In that case the locking must not be dropped.

Also the explicit device links could be dropped now as they are not
strictly needed any more (though requested PWMs might just stop working
when the lowlevel driver is unbound which is a bit ugly, but can happen
at any time for other reasons). Also on systems probed from device tree
there are device links between consumers and providers anyhow. (Don't
know about ACPI systems, I think there are device links then.)

Best regards
Uwe

[1] This fix is also backported to the various stable releases
(v6.6.3, v6.5.13, v6.1.64, v5.15.140; about to go into v5.10.x, v5.4.x,
v4.19.x and v4.14.x)

[Trimming the recipients, keeping only Bart and the mailing lists.]

I do think there are technically relevant differences. For one, the
better we isolate the internal data structure, the easier this becomes
to manage. I'm attaching a patch that I've prototyped which should
basically get us to somewhere around patch 110 of this series but with
something like 1/8th of the changes. It doesn't need every driver to
change and (mostly) decouples driver code from the core code.

Now, I know that you think this is all bad because it's not a single
allocation, but I much prefer the end result because it's got the driver
and internals much more cleanly separated. Going forward I think it
would be easier to apply all the ref-counting on top of that because we
only need to keep the PWM framework-internal data structure alive after
a PWM chip has gone away.

Subject: [PATCH] pwm: Isolate internal data into a separate structure

In order to prepare for proper reference counting of PWM chips and PWM
devices, move the internal data from the public PWM chip to a private
PWM chip structure. This ensures that the data that the subsystem core
may need to reference later on can stick around beyond the lifetime of
the driver-private data.

You don't need to touch all drivers because you didn't change struct
pwm_chip::dev yet. (If you really want, you don't need to change that,
but then you have some duplication as chip->dev holds the same value as
priv->dev.parent in the end.)

Nearly all drivers need driver private data. Isn't it a nice service by
the pwm core to make handling this private data easier for the lowlevel
drivers?

That's an unrelated change.

With my approach getting the chip of a struct pwm_device is only one
pointer dereference away. You need two.

Oh, so you don't use one additional allocation but two.

With my approach the struct pwm_chip * pointer isn't needed because it's
all in one structure. So you have two structures where I only have one
and your two are bigger in sum than my single one (not counting memory
management overhead and alignment).

One more pointer dereference than before. You could trade that for some
data duplication by copying npwm to struct pwmchip_priv for the case
when you need .npwm but the chip is already gone.

The TL;DR; is essentially what I already wrote in my last reply to Bart
in the v3 thread[1]:

 - My approach needs more changes to the individual drivers (which I
   don't consider a relevant disadvantage given that the resulting code
   is better);
 - My approach works with less pointer dereferences which IMHO also
   simplifies understanding the code as all relevant data is in a single
   place.
 - My approach has a weaker separation between the core and the lowlevel
   drivers. That's ok in my book given that this doesn't complicate the
   lowlevel drivers and that hiding details considerably better doesn't
   work anyhow (see the drivers that need internal.h in your patch).

For me the single allocation issue is only an added bonus. The relevant
advantage of my approach is that the code is easier and (probably) more
efficient.

I don't think that's a problem. These are for two logically separate
things, after all. Duplication can also sometimes be useful to simplify
things. There are plently of cases where we use local variables for the
same reason.

That's only true if you think pwmchip_alloc() makes it easier. I happen
to think that it doesn't. On the contrary, I think having drivers pass
in a PWM chip descriptor that can be embedded in driver-private data is
much easier.

Yeah, it should probably go into the patch that changes the list to an
IDR. There's really no reason why this needed to change in the first
place.

None of the functions here are called very often, so even if this isn't
optimized away it would hardly matter.

I started prototyping this before you sent out that patch.

This could easily be folded into one, but we already determined that we
both have different opinions about whether this matters a lot or not.

It's a quick prototype, I didn't pay particular attention to keeping all
error codes exactly as they were before.

Yes, can be dropped now. This was prototyped prior to the IDR rework and
I forgot to drop this after rebasing it on top.

The split is on purpose and has the benefit of clearly separating the
PWM internal data structures from the driver accessible ones. So in my
book this is an advantage.

Yes, and you'll recall that these are for exactly the cases where in the
past you have argued that the core should take a more active role in
making sure that PWMs get properly disabled. These should be temporary
and once this logic is all moved into the core these should disappear.

When the chip is gone, none of these functions should be doing anything
other than returning an error. None of that is implemented in this yet.
This is merely a preparatory patch.

I happen to disagree. I think adding pwmchip_alloc() makes things much
more complicated for low level drivers.

Looking at e.g.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pwm/2dda818b8bbbe8ba4b9df5ab54f960ff4a4f1ab5.1701860672.git.u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de/
I wonder where you see "much more complication". OK, there are two
pointers now for chip and private data, but I'd call that at most a
"mild" complication[1] which is more than balanced out by the
simplifications in the remaining parts of that patch.

Best regards
Uwe

    With that applied before the above mentioned patch there is no

How are they different? I'd say one is the initializer for the other and
(ideally) unused after that. With that interpretation they are indeed
different, but then it's ugly that the initializer keeps staying around.

local variables go away though after the respective function is left.
chip->dev and its copy priv->dev.parent stay around for the full
lifetime of the chip.

I'd say pwm_apply_state() at least matters. Also I think that making a
slow path quicker is a good thing. 

I wonder how we'll converge to an approach that can go into the
mainline given that we both have our strong opinions.
