[PATCH v2 0/4] usb: dwc3: Introduce refclk lpm

[PATCH v2 0/4] usb: dwc3: Introduce refclk lpm

[Thinh Nguyen]

This patch series introduce a new feature in DWC_usb31 with more
aggressive low power management using reference clock.

Changes in v2:
- Revise commit messages to correctly describe the feature
- Split previous patch "usb: dwc3: Add reference clock properties" to 2
  separate patches
- Remove reference clock period validation in since DWC_usb3
  can support more periods than DWC_usb31
- Rename property snps,enable-refclk-lpm to snps,enable-refclk-sof


Thinh Nguyen (4):
  usb: dwc3: Add property snps,refclk-period-ns
  usb: dwc3: Set the reference clock period
  usb: dwc3: Add property snps,enable-refclk-sof
  usb: dwc3: Enable frame number tracking based on reference clock

[PATCH v2 1/4] usb: dwc3: Add property snps,refclk-period-ns

[Thinh Nguyen]

This patch introduces property "snps,refclk-period-ns" to inform the
controller of the reference clock period. If the reference clock period
is different from the default Core Consultant setting, then this
property can be set to the reference clock period.

This property does not control the reference clock rate. The controller
uses this value to perform internal timing calculations that are based
on the reference clock.

Shouldn't you be able to retrieve the refclk frequency and then 
calculate the period?

The thing is we cannot determine the ref_clk frequency for some devices
that don't specify their clocks. So I think we should have an option to
inform the controller of the ref_clk period for those devices.

Thanks for the the review,

Specifying the clock should be mandatory (if you want/need this
feature). It just requires a fixed-clock node at a minimum.

Depending on the design of the controller, the ref_clk frequency is not
something that the OS can read/control. So we cannot make it mandatory
for every device to have a clock node.

We can make it mandatory to everyone who wants to use the feature. It's
no different than making snps,refclk-period-ns mandatory to everyone who
wants to use the feature you're introducing.

We can make it mandatory to everyone who wants to use the feature. It's
no different than making snps,refclk-period-ns mandatory to everyone who
wants to use the feature you're introducing.

But not every design has access to the clock with an actual address for
the OS to read. Only the developers will know the frequency of the
ref_clk, and they can inform the controller via this property.

We cannot force the developers to change their design requirement simply
to inform the controller of the ref_clk period.

[PATCH v2 3/4] usb: dwc3: Add property snps,enable-refclk-sof

[Thinh Nguyen]

This patch adds a property to enable the controller to track the
frame number based on the reference clock.

When operating in USB 2.0 mode, the peripheral controller uses the USB2
PHY clocks to track the frame number. This prevents the controller from
suspending the USB2 PHY when the device goes into low power. Version
1.80a of the DWC_usb31 peripheral controller introduces a way to track
frame number based on the reference clock instead. This feature allows
the controller to suspend the USB2 PHY when the device goes into low
power. This improves power saving for devices that have isochronous
endpoints.

This should be implied by the compatible string.

Can you clarify further how that will work? (I think I may misunderstand

Two problems with this:

1) Won't work for PCI-based systems

2) If we start having many users of this we will end up with:

	if (of_device_is_compatible("a") ||
        	of_device_is_compatible("b") ||
        	of_device_is_compatible("c") ||
                of_device_is_compatible("d") ||
                ...)
		foo();

Conversely, if we just pass a flag, this branch will never change. We
won't need changes to the kernel because a new platform needing refclk
based frame number tracking is, now, supported upstream.

For PCI, you would decide this based on VID/PID, wouldn't you?
Compatible is basically equivalent to that.

Things are implied based on compatible frequently and this is not how
the code ends up looking like. Normally, match data would have the
flag setting and that variable will get passed to whatever needs it.

USB blocks and their integration quirks are complicated enough that
I'm not really worried about needing to update the kernel for a new
platform. If a new platform is so similar to an existing one, then a
fallback compatible can be used and the kernel doesn't need a change.

A property like this makes more sense when it is board-specific, not
SoC specific. I may be wrong, but this looked more like a SoC
integration decision than board level.
