Series | firmware: arm_scmi: Add SCMI v3.2 pincontrol protocol basic support | expand |
Hi Sudeep, Cristian Would you pick up patch 1-4? And for i.MX95 OEM extenstion, do you have any suggestions? I have two points: 1. use vendor compatible. This would also benefit when supporting vendor protocol. 2. Introduce a property saying supporting-generic-pinconf How do you think?

The two links shows the drop of i.MX generic pinconf https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-gpio/patch/1541149669-10857-7-git-send-email-aisheng.dong@nxp.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230302072132.1051590-1-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk/ For non-scmi platforms, the generic pinconf was supported for i.MX7ULP for a while, and then dropped in the end per i.MX maintainers and agreed by Linus. For i.MX95 SCMI platforms, the firmware design is simple and use similar programming model to simplify firmware design. Using generic pinconf means the firmware needs exporting groups/functions/pins and etc, the firmware design will be complicated and code size enlarged. I have no better ideas without introducing a compatible for dt map hook. Build exclusive is not acceptable for distro support. So the last options is i.MX95 switch back to VENDOR protocol ID saying 0x82. But this means to exports functions of pinctrl-scmi.c and reused by pinctrl-scmi-imx.c. If you agree, I will ask firmware developer switch back to a new SCMI ID, and I will use new ID for i.mx pinctrl driver. But in the end I would think when more SCMI vendor protocols comes in, saying vendor A and vendor B both use ID 0x81, both use 0x81 as RTC functions, same issue will come back.

This is very much to the core of the problem isn't it? So the argument is to save code effort and size in the firmware. This reflects some of the reasoning behind the device tree bindings that encode "magic numbers" in the DT nodes to mux and configure pins. Often the argument is that it saves space and effort. When the i.MX driver was first discussed it used the standard scheme actually. Look at i.MX 53 for example: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/1322999384-7886-2-git-send-email-b29396@freescale.com/ Groups and functions! As strings! Then the DT bindings were discussed back and forth between Dong Aisheng (the original driver author), Sasha Hauer and Shawn Guo before arriving at the fsl,pins scheme. Back in the day I was pretty much clueless about device tree and relied on others to review the bindings, which ended up like this: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/fsl,imx-pinctrl.txt This was in 2011/2012 so many things were not considered. It is clear that this scheme with a number of integers that get poked into registers is convenient for some DT authors, also pinctrl-single uses this as well as I think Mediatek and maybe a few others. Over the years I have come to regret it a bit, I think insisting on groups and functions as strings is better for abstraction. And the point of firmware is to abstract things so they work the same on all systems. Yours, Linus Walleij

So, I was thinking as an alternative, while still building all (generic+IMX) in defconfig, wouldn't be possible to detect at runtime in the pinctrl-scmi probe() which is the type of binding used in the DT (i.e. generic VS imx), before registering with the core Pinctrl subsystem, and so act accordingly parsing and providing different callbacks based on that ? I mean, without any compatible addition, just looking up the protocol@19 node content @probe and switch to iMX callbacks if the fsl,pins binding is found ? Not sure is this is totally viable, nor clean or that it is not less horrific from the Pinctrl_subsystem/DT point of view for Linus ... just an idea to think about or discard. > So the last options is i.MX95 switch back to VENDOR protocol ID saying > 0x82.

Indeed this week, I hope to review your series about custom protocols and the qualcomm ones and ask both for feedback on [1] and then to rework those series on some non-RFC similar to 1 that I will post afterwards.

I think this could be fixed in the spec, let's see what the spec author says. In any case: pin control is pretty much never on a hot path, a few microseconds more or less doesn't matter. It's usually just used and probe, suspend/resume and maybe shutdown. All usecases on the slowpath, so I think it's a premature optimization. > > Over the years I have come to regret it a bit, I think insisting on groups and > > functions as strings is better for abstraction.

Yes If the defines are provided it's quite readable. And I think Freescale people really get used to it. But from a maintenance and standardization point of view, it's nice if everything works the same way and looks the same. > If using generic pinconf, the dt node will be like > Uartgrp { > pins = "uart1txd", "uart1rxd"; > functions = "uart1"; > bias-xx > drive-strength = > }; Well that looks good to me :) It looks the same as e.g. Qualcomm or nVidia pins. So it's easy for me to read and understand, and that's my perspective as a maintainer. > The firmware needs add more code to export functions, pack the conf settings, > each pins needs a function name per current i.MX HW logic. Indeed, but I think any standard requires a bit of code to implement. How much is "too much" code is a matter of taste and physical contraints. (A PC UEFI BIOS isn't exactly small either.) I understand your point of view, and I think it is pretty much the same stance that the Freescale maintainers put forward for the DT bindings for Freescale. Yours, Linus Walleij
