This series add support the SSIF BMC driver which is to perform in-band
IPMI communication with their host in management (BMC) side.

SSIF BMC driver in this series is tested with Aspeed AST2500.

v5:
  + Correct the patches order to fix the bisect issue found by
  kernel build robot

  + Fix recursive spinlock                                      [Graeme]

    corruption if somehow buffer is written past the end           [Dan]
  + Return -EINVAL if userspace buffer too small, dont
    silence truncate                                       [Corey, Joel]
  + Not necessary to check NONBLOCK in lock                      [Corey]
  + Enforce one user at a time                                    [Joel]
  + Reject write with invalid response length from userspace     [Corey]
  + Add state machines for better ssif bmc state handling         [Quan]
  + Drop ssif_bmc_aspeed.c and make ssif_bmc.c is generic
    SSIF BMC driver                                               [Quan]
  + Change compatible string "aspeed,ast2500-ssif-bmc" to
    "ampere,ssif-bmc"                                             [Quan]
  + Toggle Slave enable in i2c-aspeed to turn on/off slave mode   [Ryan]
  + Added slave_enable() to struct i2c_algorithm to control
    slave mode and to address the recursive spinlock      [Graeme, Ryan]
  + Abort current request with invalid SMBus write or
    invalid command                                               [Quan]
  + Abort all request if there is pending response                [Quan]
  + Changed validate_pec() to validate_request()                  [Quan]
  + Add unsupported_smbus_cmd() to handle unknown SMBus command   [Quan]
  + Print internal state string for ease investigating issue      [Quan]
  + Move to READY state on SLAVE_STOP event                       [Quan]

  + Introduce functions for each slave event                      [Quan]

v3:
  + Switched binding doc to use DT schema format [Rob]
  + Splited into generic ssif_bmc and aspeed-specific [Corey, Joel]

  + Use spin_lock/unlock_irqsave/restore in callback [Corey]
  + Removed the unnecessary memset [Corey]
  + Switch to use dev_err() [Corey]
  + Combine mask/unmask two interrupts together [Corey]
  + Fixed unhandled Tx done with NAK [Quan]
  + Late ack'ed Tx done w/wo Ack irq [Quan]
  + Use aspeed-specific exported aspeed_set_slave_busy() when slave busy
  to fix the deadlock [Graeme, Philipp, Quan]
  + Clean buffer for last multipart read [Quan]
  + Handle unknown incoming command [Quan]

v2:
  + Fixed compiling error with COMPILE_TEST for arc

Slave needs time to prepare the response data before Master could
enquiry via read transaction. However, there is no mechanism for
i2c-aspeed Slave to notify Master that it needs more time to process
and this make Master side to time out when trying to get the response.

This commit introduces the slave_enable() callback in struct
i2c_algorithm for Slave to temporary stop the Slave mode while working
on the response and re-enable the Slave when response data ready.

Sorry that I couldn't chime in earlier, but NAK!

@Corey: Please do not change this file without my ACK. It is not a
trivial change but an API extenstion and that should really be acked by
the subsystem maintainer, in this case me. I was really surprised to see
this in linux-next already.

@all: Plus, I neither like the API (because it doesn't look generic to
me but mostly handling one issue needed here) nor do I fully understand
the use case. Normally, when a read is requested and the backend needs
time to deliver the data, the hardware should stretch the SCL clock
until some data register is finally written to. If it doesn't do it for
whatever reason, this is a quirky hardware in my book and needs handling
in the driver only. So, what is special with this HW? Can't we solve it
differently?

All the best,

   Wolfram

I am sorry, I'll pull it out.

Hi,

I still wonder if we can't get the SSIF BMC driver upstream...

... for that, it would be great if somebody could answer my questions
here :)

Happy hacking,

Thanks Wolfram to help bring this up,

This driver was tested with Aspeed ast2500 and we have tried many way to 
avoid using slave_enable() to toggle slave mode but there is no progress.
Our expectation is still to have this driver upstream'ed and I'm 
thinking about testing this driver on other HW and re-post the driver.

I have to admit that you are all right with the above comments. The fact 
is we still not be able to find any way to solve this differently. We 
don't own this HW and dont know what happen on this particular issue. 
The SCL clock stretching on this HW does not work as expected and the 
slave_enable() is the only solution for now. I hope if someone could 
help with the issue as well.

Best regards,
- Quan

Sure thing! It would be sad to see this work bitrot.

I see. I also can't help you there. I have neither experience with nor
access to this HW.

That sounds like a good plan.

From this distance, it looks like HW access and a logic analyzer might
be helpful in understanding the behaviour. Pity that you don't own the
HW.

Good luck nonetheless!
