[PATCH 0/4] reset: gpio: ASoC: shared GPIO resets

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Hi,

We have at least few cases where hardware engineers decided to use one
powerdown/shutdown/reset GPIO line for multiple devices:

1. WSA884x (this and previous patch):
https://lore.kernel.org/all/b7aeda24-d638-45b7-8e30-80d287f498f8@sirena.org.uk/
2. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231027033104.1348921-1-chris.packham@alliedtelesis.co.nz/
3. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191030120440.3699-1-peter.ujfalusi@ti.com/
4. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211018234923.1769028-1-sean.anderson@seco.com/
5. https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/111268780311634160

I try to solve my case, hopefuly Chris' (2), partially Sean's (4) and maybe
Hectors (5), using Rob's suggestion:

[PATCH 1/4] reset: instantiate reset GPIO controller for shared reset-gpios

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Devices sharing a reset GPIO could use the reset framework for
coordinated handling of that shared GPIO line.  We have several cases of
such needs, at least for Devicetree-based platforms.

If Devicetree-based device requests a reset line which is missing but
there is a reset-gpios property, instantiate a new "reset-gpio" platform
device which will handle such reset line.  This allows seamless handling
of such shared reset-gpios without need of changing Devicetree binding [1].

The "reset-gpio" driver follows shortly.

[PATCH 2/4] reset: add GPIO-based reset controller

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Add simple driver to control GPIO-based resets using the reset
controller API for the cases when the GPIOs are shared and reset should
be coordinated.  The driver is expected to be used by reset core
framework for ad-hoc reset controllers.

[PATCH 3/4] ASoC: dt-bindings: qcom,wsa8840: Add reset-gpios for shared line

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

On newer Qualcomm platforms, like X1E80100-CRD, the WSA884x speakers
share SD_N GPIOs between two speakers, thus a coordinated assertion is
needed.  Linux supports handling shared GPIO lines through "reset-gpios"
property, thus allow specifying either powerdown or reset GPIOs (these
are the same).

[PATCH 4/4] ASoC: codecs: wsa884x: Allow sharing reset GPIO

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

On some boards with multiple WSA8840/WSA8845 speakers, the reset
(shutdown) GPIO is shared between two speakers.  Use the reset
controller framework and its "reset-gpio" driver to handle this case.
This allows bring-up and proper handling of all WSA884x speakers on
X1E80100-CRD board.

This comment is a left-over of my work-in-progress and it is not
accurate anymore. Exclusive GPIOs are not used, which should make
Bartosz happy!

I will remove it in v2.

And this obviously was not tested, so Krzysztof:

It does not look like you tested the bindings, at least after quick
look. Please run `make dt_binding_check` (see
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/writing-schema.rst for instructions).
Maybe you need to update your dtschema and yamllint.

Hector's case wasn't an actual reset, it was a runtime power control, so
I'm not sure it'll fit there but otherwise this looks OK from an ASoC

When cleaning up the patchset I removed one piece too much. I should
have here:

Sorry but NAK. This is a legacy API, we've managed to remove all of_
GPIO interfaces but this one. Please don't use it. Any function that
deals with the global GPIO numberspace is deprecated. See below how I
would approach it.

Side note: do we have any formal way of deprecating interfaces in the kernel?

You seem to make an assumption (in __reset_find_rcdev()) that this
device will get bound to its driver before this function returns.
There is no such guarantee. There are many situations where this may
not happen immediately (think loading the reset-gpio driver as a
module from the filesystem). You should set up a notifier callback on
the platform bus that will get invoked on bus events and wait for this
device's BUS_NOTIFY_BOUND_DRIVER event.

As I said in private: there's no guarantee that the same GPIO
descriptor will always reference the same GPIO line. It happens to be
the case currently but it's an implementation detail.

I dislike this approach entirely. Here's what I would do:

In the reset core: parse the phandle of the reset-gpios property. Use
the resulting node with gpio_device_find_by_fwnode(). If the device is
not up yet, defer probe. You'll now have the GPIO device object.
Retrieve its label using gpio_device_get_label(). Now you should have
everything you need (the offset and flags of the GPIO you'll get from
__of_parse_phandle_with_args()) to set up the lookup tables. See
include/linux/gpio/machine.h. An example of that would be in:
bcm2835_spi_setup() in drivers/spi/spi-bcm2835.c.

Then with a lookup table in place, you instantiate your device and
it'll get its GPIO as it should. This is not ideal but much better
than the above.

No worries, I expected problems with this patchset. I should have title

"DEPRECATED" message in kerneldoc would be enough for me. This could be
later used by tooling like checkpatch/sparse/toolchains.

Yeah, this code is poor. In the case you mentioned, requesting a reset
line would spawn multiple platform devices of which none would bind.

Hm, good point. Thanks.

I don't get exactly what do you want to use as the cookie for lookup
reset controller?
1. GPIO controller node? No way, not enough
2. GPIO label?
3. Or some combination of above? This would work, I guess, a bit more
complicated cookie than just one pointer/unsigned long.

I'm not sure what you refer to as "cookie". :(

For a GPIO lookup you need:

1. The name of the target device (in your case "reset-gpio.X", you can
either keep track of device IDs yourself or live with the fact that
you may have one deferred probe between when the device is registered
and bound and when you are able to read its final name for the
lookup).
2. The label of the GPIO chip (whatever gpio_device_get_label() returns).
3. The hardware offset of the pin (which you can get by parsing the phandle).

You may need additional lookup flags but the above allows you to
correctly assign a GPIO to a device. No need for cookies.

How do we handle power sequencing? Often GPIOs need some pre/post delay in
order to ensure proper power sequencing. For regular reset drivers, this is
internal to the driver.

Maybe something like

my-device {
	reset-gpios = <&gpio 555 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
        reset-gpios-post-deassert-us = <100>;
};

Of course, this is a bit ambiguous if you have multiple devices using the same
GPIO with different delays. Maybe we take the max? But the driver below seems
to only have access to one device. Which I suppose begs the question: how do
we know when it's safe to deassert the reset (e.g. we've gotten to the point
where all devices using this reset gpio have gotten far enough to detect that
they use it)?

It's not part of this patchset. Power sequencing is an old topic and
generic solutions were failing, rejected, did not solve the problems,
etc (choose your reason).

Delays are device specific, so they go to drivers (depending on the
compatible). Complex power sequencing is way too much for simplified
reset-framework handling, so anyway it is expected you do it in your driver.

Feel free to add it later. This patchset, and actually all patches
should, solves one problem while allowing you to extend it later.

If there is a architectural problem in my approach not allowing you to
extend it later, then we should discuss it.

The driver (reset consumer) knows when it is safe or not. You must
implement proper reset handling in your driver.

Well, the reason to bring it up is twofold:

- Traditionally, drivers expect the reset controller to handle all
  necessary delays. For example, reset-k210 includes a 10us delay
  between asserting and deasserting the reset. There's a similar thing
  in reset-imx7, and several other reset drivers.
- We would need to add custom assert/deassert delays to every driver
  using this interface. These are not always added, since any given
  device may require delays which can be inferred from its compatible.
  However, an integrated system may require delays to be different from
  what any individual device requires.

Yes, but we should try to avoid creating problems for ourselves in the
future.

The driver has no idea whether it is safe or not. It just calls
reset_assert/deassert at the appropriate time, and the reset
framework/controller is supposed to coordinate things so e.g. the device
doesn't get reset multiple times as multiple drivers all probe.

Sorry, but where the issue? You did not present any arguments stating
that it is not possible to add your feature.

What is the problem to parse that property?

Sorry, then I don't get what you refer to. The driver calls deassert
when it is safe for it to do it, so the driver *knows*. Now, you claim
that driver does not know that... core also does not know, so no one knows.

Hm, wait, now maybe I understand your concern. Did you read the
patchset? This is for the coordinated, shared, non-exclusive reset by
design.  And as stated during previous discussions: that's the driver's
job to be sure it is called like that.

Krzysztof

Yes! That is the problem with this design. Someone has to coordinate the
reset, and it can't be the driver. But the core also doesn't have enough
information. So no one can do it.

For example, say we want to share a reset GPIO between two devices. Each
device has the following constraints:

device post-assert delay post-deassert delay
====== ================= ===================
A                  500us                 1ms
B                    1ms               300us

If we leave things up to the drivers, then whoever probes first will get
to decide the reset sequence.

So if we choose the post-assert delay to be 1ms and the post-deassert
delay to be 1ms then everyone is happy. How can we make sure the reset
controller enforces this? Well, we can do the above thing and specify
something like

A {
    reset-gpios = <&gpio 555 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
    reset-gpios-post-assert-us = <1000>;
    reset-gpios-post-deassert-us = <1000>;
};

B {
    reset-gpios = <&gpio 555 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
};

But what if B gets probed first? Then we will have to also specify the
delays on B as well. I'm not a big fan of this because

- We have to specify (identical) delays in every consumer (instead of
  having a central place to put the delays)
- Having the delays depend on the probe order (if one of the consumers'
  delays don't match) will result in bugs for board maintainers. Maybe
  we should just warn in that case and that is enough?
- Actually, the same problem exists for reset-gpios (e.g. if one driver
  specifies ACTIVE_HIGH and another specifies ACTIVE_LOW).

Maybe the delays should go instead on the gpio controller? So something
like (taking inspiration from gpio-hog):

gpio {
	gpio-controller;
	#gpio-cells = <2>;

	my-reset {
		gpio-reset;
		gpio = <555 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
		post-assert-us = <1000>;
		post-deassert-us = <1000>;
	};
};

Well, one of the major advantages of moving GPIO resets to a reset
controller is that the reset framework can coordinate things if we want.
This is a rather natural extension of this patchset IMO. Even if you are
not adding this functionality now, it is good not to make it difficult
for future work.

And now imagine that these values are incompatible between them, so
using 1ms on device A is wrong - too long.

This is just not doable. You invented some imaginary case to prove that
hardware is broken.

Now, if we are back to realistic cases - use just the longest reset time.

In current design yes, but it's not a problem to change it. Where is the
limitation? Just read other values and update the reset time.

No, not everyone is happy, if these values are incompatible. OTOH, if
they are compatible, just put same values to your DTS, because that's
the requirement of the reset line.

It's a shared reset line, thus the shared or global delays can be
described in every place. That's for DT correctness. Now from the driver
point of view, there is no problem to update the reset values after
probing A.

No, it does not depend. Just update the values.

No, actually this is handled. This is not a shared reset line and it

And nothing is made here difficult. You want same delays on each
consumer? No problem in adding them, just few lines. You want
contradictory or inconsistent delays? A bit more code, but still nothing
here is blocked. You want totally random stuff because hardware is
broken? You might need to write dedicated reset controller for your case
because generic binding stops being generic for such cases.

Currently the reset controller API supports two types of shared resets.
I hope distinguishing the two types and illustrating them helps the
discussion:

1) For devices that just require the reset to be deasserted while they
are active, and don't care otherwise, there is the clk-like behavior
described in [1].

  requested reset signal via reset_control_deassert/assert():
    device A: ⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺\⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽/⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺
    device B: ⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺\⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽/⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺

  actual reset signal to both devices:
              ⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺\⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽/⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺⎺

In this scenario, there should be no delays in the reset controller
driver. reset_control_deassert() may return as soon as the physical
reset signal is deasserted [2]. Any post-deassert delays required by
the devices are handled in the device drivers, and they can be
different for each device. The devices have to be able to cope with a
(much) longer post-deassert delay than expected (e.g. device B in this
case). It is assumed that the reset signal is initially asserted.

The reset-gpio patchset supports this.

2) The second type is for devices that require a single reset pulse for
initialization, at any time before they become active. This is
described in [3].

  requested reset signal via reset_control_reset/rearm():
    device A: ⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽/⎺⎺\⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽
    device B: ⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽/⎺⎺\⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽

  actual reset signal to both devices:
              ⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽/⎺⎺\⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽⎽

Here the reset controller needs to know the delay between assertion and
deassertion - either baked into the hardware or as a delay call in the
.reset callback.

This is not supported by the reset-gpio patchset. It could be
implemented via a delay property in the device tree that would have to
be the same for all devices sharing the reset line, and by adding the
.reset callback to the reset controller driver. The only issue is that
the initial state of the reset line should be deasserted, and at
reset_control_get() time, when the reset-gpio controller is
instantiated, it is not yet known which type the driver will use.

Sharing a reset line between devices of different type is not
supported. Unfortunately, this will only fail at
reset_control_deassert() / reset_control_reset() time when the second
device tries to use the reset control in a different way than the
first.

Right. This all only works if no device has an upper bound to the
allowed delays on the shared reset line.

I interpret the post-assert delay to be the desired length of the reset
pulse between the rising edge and the falling edge in case 2) above,
since in case 1) a post-assert delay is not useful.

The post-deassert delays are not supposed to be handled by the reset
controller drivers at all, except where they are needed to reach the
deasserted state on the reset line. Reset drivers that do have post-
deassert delays in the .deassert callback might be bending the rules a
bit for convenience.

Isn't the main concern here that when one device probes we don't yet
know the times for the other devices?

We might have already done a reset by that time and earlier devices
might prevent later devices from resetting again.  It shouldn't be such
an issue for the post delay, but might be one for the pre delay.

You can never know when second device will appear. It might come from
modules, DTB overlay etc. If we want to satisfy all users, then we need
to wait till all users appear, which I think is not even possible,
considering runtime loaded overlays.

If the reset deassert (or assert, depending what's the default state) is
triggered in the probe, then it will happen with the probe of the first
device. If the delays of that reset are not suitable for the second -
not yet probed - then what do you propose? I have the answer: do not use
the simple, generic solution. The simple and generic solutions work for
simple and generic cases.

Or through dedicated node to which reset-gpio binds, just like in Sean's
code some years ago. Nothing stops achieving that, except of course
convincing Rob. The point is that although my design does not solve it,
it also does not prevent it in the future.

If device had an upper bound, it would be quite a conflicting design,
tricky to implement. I don't think we should target such case with
generic solution.

I think a separate pseudo-device is necessary a generic solution. So I
guess I will revive my patchset.

This is why I had explicit properties for the various durations. That
way the system integrator can go through the reset requirements
and specify something which satisfies all devices.
