Changes since v4 are limited, but I'm sending this to have the state of the art public before the discussion at the Lonux Plumbers Conference tomorrow (https://lpc.events/event/18/contributions/1750/). See the changelog at the end for the details. The high-level description below is an updated version of to the one in v3. Use case ======== This series targets a professional product (GE SUNH) that is composed of a "main" part running on battery, with the main SoC and able to work autonomously with limited features, and an optional "add-on" that enables more features by adding more hardware peripherals, some of which are on non-discoverable busses such as I2C and MIPI DSI. The add-on can be connected and disconnected at runtime at any moment by the end user, and add-on features need to be enabled and disabled automatically at runtime. The add-on has status pins that are connected to GPIOs on the main board, allowing the CPU to detect add-on insertion and removal. It also has a reset GPIO allowing to reset all peripherals on the add-on at once. The features provided by the add-on include a display and a battery charger to recharge the battery of the main part. The display on the add-on has an LVDS input but the connector between the base and the add-on has a MIPI DSI bus, so a DSI-to-LVDS bridge is present on the add-on. Different add-on models can be connected to the main part, and for this a model ID is stored in the add-on itself so the software running on the CPU on the main part knows which non-discoverable hardware to probe. Overall approach ================ Device tree overlays appear as the most natural solution to support the addition and removal of devices from a running system. Several features are missing from the mainline Linux kernel in order to support this use case: 1. runtime (un)loading of device tree overlays is currently not exposed 2. if enabled, overlay (un)loading exposes several issues and limitations 3. the DRM subsystem assumes video bridges are non-removable This series targets items 1 and 3 and some of the issues mentioned in item 2. Other issues are being handled separately (see "Device tree overlay issues" below). Device tree representation and connector driver =============================================== The device tree description we propose involves 3 main parts. 1: the main (fixed) device tree The main device tree describes the connector itself along with the status and reset GPIOs. It also provides specific nodes for the various interfaces (I2C and DSI). Here is how the connector is represented in the fixed part of the device tree: / { #include addon_connector: addon-connector { compatible = "ge,sunh-addon-connector"; reset-gpios = <&gpio1 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; plugged-gpios = <&gpio1 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; i2c-dbat { i2c-parent = <&i2c2_ch1>; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; }; i2c-gp { i2c-parent = <&i2c5>; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; }; i2c-btp { i2c-parent = <&i2c3>; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; }; dsi { ports { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; port@0 { reg = <0>; hotplug_bridge_sink: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&dsi_to_hotplug_bridge>; }; }; }; }; }; }; The connector has a specific compatible string, and this series adds a driver supporting it. This driver uses the device tree overlay loading and unloading facilities already implemented by the kernel but not currently exposed. The driver detects the connection status from the "plugged" GPIO and reacts to a connection event by loading a first overlay (the "base" overlay, see below). The 'i2c-*' nodes represent the hot-pluggable section of I2C busses crossing the connector, whose controller is on the main board but which have devices on the add-on. There is one node per each such bus: this allows full decoupling between the base board and the overlay, but requires an additional info to associate the 'i2c-*' node to the physical bus controller. Similarly, the 'dsi' node describes how the two sides of the MIPI DSI bus connect to each other. The base device tree describes the fixed part of the video pipeline as 'port@0', i.e. the physical bus that terminates on the connector. 'port@1', representing the continuation of the video bus on the add-on, will be added by an overlay. The 'dsi' node would also allow to describe a similar connector having multiple video busses: these would have one node each, such as 'dsi-foo', 'dsi-bar', 'lvds-foo', 'lvds-bar' etc while keeping the ports for each connector appropriately separated. 2: the "base" overlay The "base" overlay describes the common components that are required to read the model ID. These components are identical for all add-on models, thus only one "base" overlay is needed: /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { fragment@0 { target-path = ""; __overlay__ { nvmem-cells = <&addon_id>; nvmem-cell-names = "id"; i2c-dbat { addon_eeprom: eeprom@51 { compatible = "atmel,24c64"; reg = <0x51>; pagesize = <32>; nvmem-layout { compatible = "fixed-layout"; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <1>; /* Data cells */ addon_id: addon-id@400 { reg = <0x400 0x1>; }; }; }; }; }; }; }; Note the overlay does not have a target node. This allows the overlay to be fully decoupled from the base tree, and to allow multiple compatible connectors on the same base board. It also avoids the need to add properties to nodes in the base tree by avoiding phandle references across the overlay boundaries. With an exception. Indeed the 'nvmem-cells' and 'nvmem-cell-names' are the only two properties added to a node that is in the base tree. This is still waiting for a different representation to avoid adding such properties and all the deadprops and leaks thereof. Here an I2C device is added by a subnode of 'i2c-dbat' for an EEPROM. The i2c-dbat node itself is already present in the base tree, carrying the link to the actual I2C adapter node. The EEPROM holds the model ID of each add-on, using always the same I2C address and memory offset. 3: the "add-on-specific" overlay Based on the model ID, the connector driver loads the second overlay, which describes all the add-on hardware not yet described by the base overlay. This overlay is model-specific. Excerpt: / { fragment@0 { target-path = ""; __overlay__ { dsi { ports { port@1 { reg = <1>; hotplug_bridge_source: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&sn65dsi84_from_bridge>; }; }; }; }; i2c-gp { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; dsi-lvds-bridge@2c { compatible = "ti,sn65dsi84"; reg = <0x2c>; ports { port@0 { reg = <0>; sn65dsi84_from_bridge: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&hotplug_bridge_source>; data-lanes = <1 2 3 4>; }; }; port@2 { reg = <2>; sn65dsi84_out0: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&panel_dsi_lvds_in0>; }; }; port@3 { reg = <3>; sn65dsi84_out1: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&panel_dsi_lvds_in1>; }; }; }; }; }; devices { reg_addon_3v3_lcd: regulator-addon-3v3-lcd { compatible = "regulator-fixed"; regulator-name = "3V3_LCD_ADDON"; ... }; backlight_addon: backlight-addon { compatible = "led-backlight"; ... }; addon_panel_dsi_lvds: panel-dsi-lvds { compatible = "..."; power-supply = <®_addon_3v3_lcd>; backlight = <&backlight_addon>; ports { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; port@0{ reg = <0>; dual-lvds-odd-pixels; panel_dsi_lvds_in0: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&sn65dsi84_out0>; }; }; port@1{ reg = <1>; dual-lvds-even-pixels; panel_dsi_lvds_in1: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&sn65dsi84_out1>; }; }; }; }; }; }; }; }; Here the 'dsi/ports/port@1' node is completing the 'dsi' section already present in the base tree, thus describing that this add-on is connecting those DSI lines to something, in this case the SN65DSI84 DSI-to-LVDS bridge and from to an LVDS panel. The 'devices' node, containts one subnode for each device that is not on any CPU-reachable bus (I2C, DSI, etc): fixed/GPIO regulators, backlight, the panel etc. In normal (no overlay) device tree systems nodes for these devices are children of the root node, and are probed as platform devices by kernel code. With the connector we need to have them under the connector node, and the choice was to let them be children of the connector node or to group them into a new subnode. We chose the latter because that provides a more explicit representation of reality, and is coherent with the 'dsi' and 'i2c-*' nodes. As a good side effect for the implementation, this means other nodes under the connector node (dsi, i2c-*) are not considered when populating platform devices. After these steps, the add-on is fully described and working on the system. When the "plugged" GPIO reports a disconnection, the overlays are unloaded in reverse order and devices removed. DRM hotplug bridge driver ========================= DRM natively supports pipelines whose display can be removed, but all the components preceding it (all the display controller and any bridges) are assumed to be fixed and cannot be plugged, removed or modified at runtime. This series adds support for DRM pipelines having a removable part after the encoder, thus also allowing bridges to be removed and reconnected at runtime, possibly with different components. This picture summarizes the DRM structure implemented by this series: .------------------------. | DISPLAY CONTROLLER | | .---------. .------. | | | ENCODER |<--| CRTC | | | '---------' '------' | '------|-----------------' | |DSI HOTPLUG V CONNECTOR .---------. .--. .-. .---------. .-------. | 0 to N | | _| _| | | 1 to N | | | | BRIDGES |--DSI-->||_ |_ |--DSI-->| BRIDGES |--LVDS-->| PANEL | | | | | | | | | | | '---------' '--' '-' '---------' '-------' [--- fixed components --] [----------- removable add-on -----------] Fixed components include: * all components up to the DRM encoder, usually part of the SoC * optionally some bridges, in the SoC and/or as external chips Components on the removable add-on include: * one or more bridges * a fixed connector (not one natively supporting hotplug such as HDMI) * the panel The video bus is MIPI DSI in the example and in the implementation provided by this series, but the implementation is meant to allow generalization to other video busses without native hotplug support, such as parallel video and LVDS. Note that the term "connector" in this context is different from the "DRM connector" abstraction already present in the DRM subsystem (struct drm_connector).
