[PATCH v2 0/4] PCI: rcar, rcar-gen2: More Gen2 compatibility strings

[PATCH v2 0/4] PCI: rcar, rcar-gen2: More Gen2 compatibility strings

[Simon Horman]

Hi,

this short series adds generic gen2 and SoC-specific r8a7793 compatibility
strings to the rcar PCI and rcar-gen2 PCIE drivers. The intention is to
provide a complete set of compatibility strings for known Gen2 SoCs.

Key Changes in v2:
* Include "rcar-" in generic bindings

Simon Horman (4):
  PCI: rcar-gen2: add gen2 fallback compatibility string
  PCI: rcar-gen2: add device tree support for r8a7793
  PCI: rcar: add gen2 fallback compatibility string

Add fallback compatibility string for R-Car Gen 2 family.
This is in keeping with the fallback scheme being adopted wherever
appropriate for drivers for Renesas SoCs.

I applied these:

to pci/host-rcar for v4.5, thanks!

I haven't applied the R8A7793 binding documentation updates yet, but
I'll be happy to do so given a short description of why they're
useful (since they don't update a DT or the driver).  Or they could be
merged via a DT tree.

Yes, please.  The email discussion so far hasn't contained what I'm
looking for (if it had, I would have just inserted it and been done
with it).

Apparently it has to do with the stable DT rules, which I don't know.
A concrete example would probably help clear it up.

I've applied the parts that touch PCI.  I won't be offended if the
binding documentation patches go as-is via another tree.  It's just
that if *I'm* going to apply them, I'd like to understand better what
the benefit is.

The stable DT rules mean that an old DTS should keep on working with
newer kernels.

Suppose we have two SoCs, that both contain "foo" modules, which look
identical. Hence the DTS for both declares the devices to be compatible
with "vendor,foo".

Later, we discover a difference between the two "foo" modules in the two
SoCs (e.g. a feature present in one of them, or worse, a bug), which we
need to handle in the driver. But how can we distinguish between them?
We can change the compatible value in the DTS, but that means the user
has to update the DTS when updating the kernel. For a new feature that
may be deemed acceptable, for a bug fix that's not acceptable.

Hence we always use an SoC-specific compatible value, which may or may
not be accompanied by a family-specific and/or generic compatible value.
As long as everything can be handled the same, the driver will just match
against the most generic compatible value used. But if needed later, the
driver can be updated to match against a more specific compatible value,
and can have special handling for  a module in a specific SoC.

So that's why we want to have compatible value in the DT bindings that
are not necessarily used by the driver.

In a perfect world, where all hardware is properly documented, or even
Open Source, we wouldn't need this. There we could just declare a device
compatible with what it really is, based on the module's internal version ID
(ideally a git commit ID of its HDL source ;-).

I hope the above explains it. If you have more questions, feel free to ask!

DT binding updates typically go through the subsystem maintainer,

The above is all pretty standard device identification technique.
That's not what I've been missing.

But I just had an epiphany.  Tell me if I'm talking sense or
gibberish:

  If a patch adds a use of "renesas,pcie-r8a7793" in a .dts, .c, or .h
  file, e.g., in arch/arm/boot/dts/ or in the driver, and somebody
  runs checkpatch on that patch, checkpatch will complain unless
  "renesas,pcie-r8a7793" appears somewhere in
  devicetree/bindings/pci/.

So if I understand correctly, the only point of this patch is to shut
up checkpatch in that situation.  It doesn't seem terribly useful to
me because checkpatch is only relevant to Linux kernel patches, and
even there it's optional and advisory.

The latest changelog says "By documenting this compat string it may be
used in DTSs shipped, for example as part of ROMs", which seems to be
saying a DTS may not be shipped unless checkpatch approves of it.
That's a social and procedural question, not a coding question.

It's fine with me if you want to try to enforce that via checkpatch,
but I'd just like to be clear on the mechanism.

The above is all pretty standard device identification technique.
That's not what I've been missing.

But I just had an epiphany.  Tell me if I'm talking sense or
gibberish:

  If a patch adds a use of "renesas,pcie-r8a7793" in a .dts, .c, or .h
  file, e.g., in arch/arm/boot/dts/ or in the driver, and somebody
  runs checkpatch on that patch, checkpatch will complain unless
  "renesas,pcie-r8a7793" appears somewhere in
  devicetree/bindings/pci/.

So if I understand correctly, the only point of this patch is to shut
up checkpatch in that situation.  It doesn't seem terribly useful to
me because checkpatch is only relevant to Linux kernel patches, and
even there it's optional and advisory.

The latest changelog says "By documenting this compat string it may be
used in DTSs shipped, for example as part of ROMs", which seems to be
saying a DTS may not be shipped unless checkpatch approves of it.
That's a social and procedural question, not a coding question.

It's fine with me if you want to try to enforce that via checkpatch,
but I'd just like to be clear on the mechanism.

A DT binding (e.g. a compatible value) may only be used in a DTS after it's
been documented and approved in a DT binding document.

Checkpath is just a tool. AFAIK there's no other tool enforcing the above.

As both DTSes and DT binding documents are (still) in the kernel, and changes
to them go in the kernel through patches, and most people run checkpatch
on patches, I think having the check in checkpatch makes perfect sense.
Adding and using yet another tool would complicate matters.

Like I said, it's fine with me if your DTS process relies on
checkpatch, and I'm not suggesting any other tool.

I'm just trying to get clarity on the nitty-gritty technical benefits
of this patch, and I think it is "this patch enables people to add a
DTS containing 'renesas,pcie-r8a7793' to the kernel source without
having checkpatch complain."

If the convention is that OEMs can't ship a DT unless it's in the
kernel source and has passed checkpatch, that's fine, but it can't be
enforced by a kernel patch.

Like I said, it's fine with me if your DTS process relies on
checkpatch, and I'm not suggesting any other tool.

I'm just trying to get clarity on the nitty-gritty technical benefits
of this patch, and I think it is "this patch enables people to add a
DTS containing 'renesas,pcie-r8a7793' to the kernel source without
having checkpatch complain."

If the convention is that OEMs can't ship a DT unless it's in the
kernel source and has passed checkpatch, that's fine, but it can't be
enforced by a kernel patch.

Indeed. And once ''renesas,pcie-r8a7793' is in the DTS, we can handle quirks of
the PCIe implementation in r8a7793, if ever needed in the future, without
requiring a DTS update.
