This adds devicetree support to the ov8856 driver.
In order to to aid debugging and enable future sensor
modes to be supported, module revision detection is also added.

+description: |-
+  The Omnivision OV8856 is a high performance, 1/4-inch, 8 megapixel, CMOS
+  image sensor that delivers 3264x2448 at 30fps. It provides full-frame,
+  sub-sampled, and windowed 10-bit MIPI images in various formats via the
+  Serial Camera Control Bus (SCCB) interface. This chip is programmable
+  through I2C and two-wire SCCB. The sensor output is available via CSI-2
+  serial data output (up to 4-lane).

Add devicetree match table, and enable ov8856_probe()
to initialize power, clocks and reset pins.

Signed-off-by: Robert Foss <robert.foss@linaro.org>

- Changes since v2:
  * Added "struct device *dev" member to struct ov8856
  * Andy: Switch to optional version of devm_gpiod_get
  * Andy: Switch to optional version of devm_clk_get
  * Fabio: Add reset sleep period
  * Sakari: Unify defines for 19.2Mhz
  * Sakari: Remove 24Mhz clock, since it isn't needed for supported modes
  * Sakari: Replace dev_info() with dev_dbg()
  * Sakari: Switch induction variable type to unsigned
  * Sakari: Don't wait for reset_gpio when in ACPI mode
  * Sakari: Pull reset GPIO high on power on failure
  * Sakari: Add power on/off to resume/suspend
  * Sakari: Fix indentation
  * Sakari: Power off during ov8856_remove()
  * Sakari: Don't sleep during power-on in ACPI mode
  * Sakari: Switch to getting xvclk from clk_get_rate

- Changes since v1:
  * Andy & Sakari: Make XVCLK optional since to not break ACPI
  * Fabio: Change n_shutdown_gpio name to reset_gpio
  * Fabio: Invert reset_gpio due to GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH -> GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW change
  * Fabio: Remove empty line
  * Fabio: Remove real error from devm_gpiod_get() failures
  * Sakari: ARRAY_SIZE() directly instead of through OV8856_NUM_SUPPLIES
  * Sakari: Use XVCLK rate as provided by DT

Query the sensor for its module revision, and compare it
to known revisions.
Currently only the '1B' revision has been added.

Signed-off-by: Robert Foss <robert.foss@linaro.org>

- Changes since v2:
  * Add module revision 2A
  * Sakari: Remove ov8856_check_revision()
  * Sakari: Stop EEPROM streaming mode

This is wrong. You have to fix it to use either 0 or 1.

Do you need all ' < 0' parts all over the series?

Where is it gone? Why?

Also you may use %pe here and in similar cases.

Here parameter is correct. The question is, what the value should be
HIGH or LOW?
Basically HIGH means to assert the signal.

Noise.
Enable GPIO debug to see this kind of messages.

If it's a warning, why we return from here?
Same question to all other places with same issue.

Why do we need this here?

Also this isn't related to the chip. You need this because you are using
a qcom platform which provides the clock.

IMHO you only need to specify the clock. You can get the frequency with
the clk_get_rate() function.

We also had that discussion recently for another omnivision sensor
(ov5645 iirc), but what is clock-frequency useful for?

It seems that the sensor is passed in clocks, so if you need to
retrieve the clock rate you should use the clock API instead.

Looking at the driver, it looks like it first retrieves the clock, set
it to clock-frequency, and then checks that this is OV8856_XVCLK_19_2
(19.2 MHz).

The datasheet says that the sensor can have any frequency in the 6 -
27 MHz range, so this is a driver limitation and should be set in the
driver using the clock API, and you can always bail out if it doesn't
provide a rate that is not acceptable for the drivers assumption.

In any case, you don't need clock-frequency here...

And you don't need assigned-clock-rates either.

The way I understood this, was that clk_get_rate() would fetch the
clock rate as defined by the 'assigned-clock-rates'
Is this not the case? And if so, what rate would cllk_get_rate()
actually retrieve?

The HW specific include is used for the clocks property.
clocks = <&clock_camcc CAM_CC_MCLK0_CLK>;

Is there a non hw specific clock that would be better to use for examples?

As far as I understand it, 19.2MHz is requirement for the sensor mode
that currently defaults to. Some modes require higher clock speeds
than this however.

So your suggestion is that we remove all clocks-rate properties, and
replace the clk_get_rate() calls in the driver with clk_set_rate()
calls for the desired frequencies?

You're right clk_get_rate() should be used to get the current clk rate
but assigned-cock-rates only applies to your setup where the host
supplies the clk. This is not the case ff we connect a simple external
osc which provides a static (not adjustable) ckl.

Yes, just use:

  clocks = <&cam_osc>;

The dt-validation provides dummy hooks for such phandles.

It's very system specific. Either way, bindings should not assume a
particular driver implementation.

The driver shouldn't set the rate here unless it gets it from DT (but that
was not the intention). So the driver should get the frequency instead.

You'll still need to continue reading the clock-frequency property on ACPI
systems, and assume that frequency (as you won't have the clock object).

What happened here? :-)

I think this patch is starting to look quite reasonable.

Yep, and if you need to make sure that the frequency that your
provider rounded to is matching 19.2MHz like you were doing, then you
can throw a clk_get_rate after it. It seems overly-restrictive to me,
but the device might be picky

I'm actually saying the opposite :)

Like you were saying, the binding (or DT, for that matter) shouldn't
assume a particular driver implementation.

So one corollary is that if the driver has some restrictions in Linux,
it shouldn't be part of the binding, right?

This binding uses multiple clock properties but as far as I can see,
the driver retrieves a clock using clocks and makes sure that its rate
match its limitation of 19.2MHz using clock-frequency (which is
redundant on a clk_get_rate on the clocks provided earlier).

I'm suspecting that the parent clock on multiple SoCs can be
configured and is not a fixed rate crystal, so assigned-clocks-rate is
here just to make sure we set the frequency at the one being checked
in the driver's probe so that it all works.

But that 19.2MHz is not a limitation of the device itself, it's a
limitation of our implementation, so we can instead implement
something equivalent in Linux using a clk_set_rate to 19.2MHz (to make
sure that our parent clock is configured at the right rate) and the
clk_get_rate and compare that to 19.2MHz (to make sure that it's not
been rounded too far apart from the frequency we expect).

This is doing exactly the same thing, except that we don't encode our
implementation limitations in the DT, but in the driver instead.

Thanks for taking the time to explain this.
I'll spin a new revision that moves the clock rate handling into the driver.

What I really wanted to say that a driver that doesn't get the clock
frequency from DT but still sets that frequency is broken.

This frequency is highly system specific, and in many cases only a certain
frequency is usable, for a few reasons: On many SoCs, not all common
frequencies can be used (e.g. 9,6 MHz, 19,2 MHz and 24 MHz; while others
are being used as well), and then that frequency affects the usable CSI-2
bus frequencies directly --- and of those, only safe, known-good ones
should be used. IOW, getting the external clock frequency wrong typically
has an effect that that none of the known-good CSI-2 bus clock frequencies
are available.

I've changed all gpiod_set_value_cansleep() calls to use 0/1.

Some checks are needed due to ACPI and DT support co-existing.
Maybe it would be better to just split the probing into an ACPI path
and a DT path.

I'll have a look through the series for redundant retval checks.

It was replaced by a clk_get_rate call, which as Sakari pointed out,
isn't correct.
I'll rework the clock handling for v4.

Weirdly checkpatch complains about this.
But it builds and runs cleanly, so I'll add it in v4.

The issue I was seeing was the driver having to return a EDEFER here,
so this warning sheds some light on which exact component is returning
an EDEFER.

[   15.962623] ov8856 16-0010: Dropping the link to regulator.29
[   15.968464] ov8856 16-0010: failed to get regulators
[   15.973493] ov8856 16-0010: failed to get HW configuration: -517
[   15.979591] ov8856 16-0010: removing from PM domain titan_top_gdsc

[   15.990672] i2c 16-0010: Driver ov8856 requests probe deferral

Personally I found it helpful to speed up debugging, but I'll happily
remove it if you prefer no warning.

Drop where it is redundant.

If it was in the driver it should stay -- properties is an ABI (between firmware and kernel).

%pe requires pointer, PTR_ERR converts pointer to integer.

My point is that you have it in align:
 - if it is an error, print as an error and bail out, otherwise
 - if it is a warning, print it and continue.

I see what you're saying now, let's remove it then :)
I guess in the specific case of EDEFER, it doesn't fit neatly into
either of those categories, in the sense that the way you continue is
to return and then try to probe again later.

There are some other locations where this is handled wrong, I'll align
them properly for v4.

So clock-frequency is not about the "Frequency of the xvclk clock in
Hertz", but the frequency at which that clock must run on this
particular SoC / board to be functional?

If so, then yeah, we should definitely keep it, but the documentation
of the binding should be made clearer as well.

assigned-clock-rates should still go away though.

Alright so, let me summarise the desired approach then.

ACPI:
  - Fetch the "clock-frequency" property
  - Verify it to be 19.2Mhz

DT:
  - Fetch the "clock-frequency" property
  - Verify it to be 19.2Mhz
  - Get xvclk clock
  - Get xvclk clock rate
  - Verify xvclk clock rate to be 19.2Mhz

Since the xvclk clock isn't available under ACPI, this is how the two
cases would be distinguished between.
Does this sound about right?

There's a separate discussion on the same topic here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20200407122106.GD4751@pendragon.ideasonboard.com/

The current status is that you should
's/clock-frequency/link-frequencies/', and in order to replace
assigned-clock-rates, you'll want to have a clk_set_rate to 19.2MHz
between steps 3 and 4

Would we want to 's/clock-frequency/link-frequencies/' for ACPI too?
I imagine that would cause some breakage.

The (CSI-2) link frequency is specified in the endpoint, and is already
being read by the V4L2 fwnode framework.

It would, yes, and it would be no more correct on DT either.

There are basically two possibilities here; either use the clock-frequency
property and set the frequency, or rely on assigned-clock-rates, and get
the frequency instead.

The latter, while I understand it is generally preferred, comes with having
to figure out the register list set that closest matches the frequency
obtained. The former generally gets around this silently by the clock
driver setting the closest frequency it can support.

Wouldn't the former actually cause problems, because the closest
frequency the clock driver can support could be pretty far from the
one requested? (E.g. 19.2 MHz vs 24 MHz) The driver needs to check the
resulting frequency anyway.

Perhaps a simplified approach of rounding the result of clk_get_rate()
to a multiple of 100 KHz and comparing it to the hardcoded value would
be enough in practice?

That's possible, yes; in this case there wouldn't be a guarantee the
frequency wouldn't be far off.

Then the question is: how much deviation from the expected value is
allowed? I think there was another case where such range was checked and
because the clock was just slightly more off, the probe failed because of
that.

I'd in that case check some fairly wide range, and print a warning if the
frequency isn't in that range, but still proceed. It's generally impossible
to set a precise limit on the tolerance.

assigned-clock-rates is really fragile... There's zero guarantee on
how far the actual rate is going to be from the asked one, but more
importantly you have zero guarantee on the time frame that rate is
going to be enforced for.

It's simply going to change the rate as a one-off thing, and if
there's the next millisecond someone else is going to change its rate
one way or another, it's going to do so and you won't have any
notification.

And even semantically, they do not share the same meaning at all, so
we should really stop using assigned-clock-rates if we can, instead of
pushing it.

with clk_set_rate itself, no, but...

You can get notified, and you can use clk_set_rate_exclusive if you
*really* want to enforce it.

Is the conclusion then we should go back to relying on the clock-frequency
property?

This has been discussed multiple times over the years, and I don't really
disagree with the above. The frequency is typically indeed hand-picked for
the hardware, and no other frequency should be used in any circumstances.

No sensor driver I've seen has used clk_set_rate_exclusive() but I guess
they should. The absence of practical problems has been probably because of
two factors; firstly, these are typically clocks dedicated to the sensors
and secondly, good luck.

clock-frequency or link-frequencies. link-frequencies seems to be a
better fit here, but we don't really have the choice for older
bindings.

My point was that at least with handling the clock rate within the
driver (as opposed to assigned-clock-rates) you have multiple options
in dealing with changing colck rates / parents (Modelling the sensor
clock as a clock itself, using clk_set_rate_exclusive, using a
notifier, etc).. Some are more intrusive to the rest of the system
than others (especially clk_set_rate_exclusive), so I'm not really
advocating for any here, but we should make sure we have them in the
first place.

Alright, so since this is a new binding, let's aim for link-frequencies then.

I don't think I understand what they look like on the driver side.
Do you know an example of what a link-frequencies based driver would look like?

You can't replace one with the other as the two are different things. The
clock-frequency refers to the external clock frequency whereas the
link-frequencies refers to the frequencies allowed on the CSI-2 bus.

Using a different frequency really should not be allowed. It may be
possible on a development system, hobbyist platform, but never in
production. Therefore the exclusive variant sounds like the right one to
me.

In all of those cases you would not allow a different frequency. The only
difference is whether you react to a rate change in your parent clock, or
prevent it from happening in the first place.

The latter is easier to do, but has a wider impact on the rest of the system
than the former.
