[PATCH 1/1] dt-bindings: T-HEAD CLINT

[PATCH 1/1] dt-bindings: T-HEAD CLINT

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

The CLINT in the T-HEAD 9xx CPUs is similar to the SiFive CLINT but does
not support 64bit mmio access to the MTIMER device.

OpenSBI currently uses a property 'clint,has-no-64bit-mmio' to indicate the
restriction and the "sifive,cling0" compatible string. An OpenSBI
patch suggested to use "reg-io-width = <4>;" as the reg-io-width property
is generally used in the devicetree schema for such a condition.

As the design is not SiFive based it is preferable to apply a compatible
string identifying T-HEAD instead.

Add a new yaml file describing the T-HEAD CLINT.

T-HEAD supporting only 32bit accesses to MTIME and MTIMECMP
registers are totally allowed. The RISC-V privileged specification does
not enforce RV64 platforms to support 64bit accesses to MTIME and
MTIMECMP registers. Also, the ACLINT specification only states
that MTIME and MTIMECMP registers are 64-bit wide but it does
not enforce platforms to support 64-bit accesses.

Here are some discussions from tech-aia mailing list:
https://lists.riscv.org/g/tech-aia/message/115
https://lists.riscv.org/g/tech-aia/message/119
https://lists.riscv.org/g/tech-aia/message/120

In other words, the T-HEAD CLINT (MTIMER+MSWI) is compliant
with the RISC-V ACLINT specification.

I think we should add implementation specific compatible strings
for Allwinner D1 in the ACLINT MTIMER and ACLINT MSWI
DT bindings.

How about including the following two compatible strings in
ACLINT DT bindings ?
allwinner,sun20i-d1-aclint-mtimer
allwinner,sun20i-d1-aclint-mswi

It does. See [1].

It does. See [1].

If the Allwinner CLINT is sufficiently compliant, this makes sense to me.

Will there be a new round of
[RFC PATCH v4 08/10] dt-bindings: timer: Add ACLINT MTIMER bindings
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211007123632.697666-9-anup.patel@wdc.com/
were you could add the Allwinner device? Or is that series already merged?

Should the riscv,aclint-mtimer.yaml file mention that there are 
different access sizes and either state per compatibility string what 
that size is or provide a parameter for that purpose?

The Linux ACLINT series is not merged yet so there will be another patch
revision as we get more review comments. I am hoping for more reviews.

Should we just say that "some of the MTIMER implementations support
only 32-bit accesses so this information can be derived from implementation
specific compatible strings" ?

T-HEAD uses the same versioning as SiFive? If you use version numbers in 
compatible strings, the numbering needs to be documented and correlate 
back to the h/w design. See [1]. IP release numbers for FPGA IP for 
example. What it should not be is the binding author making up 0, 1, 2, 
etc. versions.

The only publicly available information on the IP block is:

https://github.com/T-head-Semi/openc906/blob/main/doc/%E7%8E%84%E9%93%81C906%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7%E6%89%8B%E5%86%8C.pdf

Page 3 has a version number for the whole document. Chapter 9 does not 
have any version number for the CLINT. So should we simply call the 
block "thead,clint" without any version number?

@Guo: do you have more information accessible?

https://github.com/T-head-Semi/openc906/blob/main/doc/%E7%8E%84%E9%93%81C906%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7%E6%89%8B%E5%86%8C.pdf

Page 3 has a version number for the whole document. Chapter 9 does not 
have any version number for the CLINT. So should we simply call the 
block "thead,clint" without any version number?

@Guo: do you have more information accessible?

We didn't define the version of "thead,clint", and it belonged to the
CPU implementation version. We usually use "thead,clint0" at first,
and update it to "thead,clintX" when we update it.
