Up until now, the pata_buddha driver would only check for cards on
initcall time. Now, the kernel will call its probe function as soon
as a compatible card is detected.

v3: Clean up devm_*, implement device removal.

v2: Rename 'zdev' to 'z' to make the patch easy to analyse with
    git diff --ignore-space-change

Sorry, I only noticed v3 after I replied to v2.
My comments are still valid, though.

drivers/net/ethernet/8390/zorro8390.c also matches against
ZORRO_PROD_INDIVIDUAL_COMPUTERS_X_SURF, while only
a single zorro_driver can bind to it.  Hence you can no longer use both
IDE and Ethernet on X-Surf :-(
Before, this worked, as the IDE driver just walked the list of devices.

I think the proper solution is to create MFD devices for Zorro boards
with multiple functions, and bind against the individual MFD cells.
That would also get rid of the nr_ports loop in the IDE driver, as each
instance would have its own cell.

I played with this a long time ago, but never finished it.
It worked fine for my Ariadne Ethernet card.

Okay, now this gets dirty.

The reason why I've submitted this patch is to allow pata_buddha to be built into the kernel at all. Without this patch, its initcall would be called before the Zorro structures are initialised, hence not finding any boards.

That means that not only would the previous driver only make sense as a module that is manually ensured to be loaded after Zorro has started, but the X-Surf IDE support was a really ugly hack to begin with.

This looks great!

Unfortunately, I don't have any MFD hardware other than a single Buddha to test this with. I especially don't have an X-Surf, hence no good way of testing this other than the two IDE channels on my Buddha. WinUAE doesn't seem to emulate the IDE controller either.

What shall I do? Maybe as a stop-gap measure, we could hard-code a module_init() again, just for X-Surf? It's been good enough until a few weeks ago, so what could go wrong ;)


On another note: Maybe your MFD idea could be used to expose the clockports on the Buddhas as well? That wouldn't solve the issue of clockport *expansions* being fundamentally non-enumerable, but maybe you can think of a reasonable way to attach a driver?


Thanks for your feedback,
Max

IC. I wasn't aware of the new pata_buddha.c driver not working at all
when builtin.

> That means that not only would the previous driver only make sense as a module that is manually ensured to be loaded after Zorro has started, but the X-Surf IDE support was a really ugly hack to begin with.

Right. Please note that most drivers for Zorro boards predate the device
driver framework, and thus all started life using zorro_find_device().
But this did have the advantage of supporting multi-function cards
out-of-the-box.
Later, several drivers were converted to the new driver framework.
but not all of them, due to multi-function cards.

In the short run: keep on using drivers/ide/buddha.c?

Your single Buddha should be sufficient to convert pata_buddha.c from
a plain Zorro driver to an MFD cell driver, and test it.
I expect the buddha-mfd.c MFD driver from my zorro-mfd branch to
work as-is, or with very minor changes.

However, to keep X-Surf working, this needs to be synchronized with
a Zorro MFD conversion of the zorro8390 driver, too.

Yes, the clockport could be added as an extra MFD cell.  Later, drivers can
be written to bind against the clockport cell.

Thanks!

Isn't the same true also for old buddha.c driver?

IDE subsystem is initialized even before libata so I cannot see how
this would help?

drivers/Makefile:
...
obj-$(CONFIG_IDE)               += ide/
obj-y                           += scsi/
obj-y                           += nvme/
obj-$(CONFIG_ATA)               += ata/
...
obj-$(CONFIG_ZORRO)             += zorro/
...

What am I missing?

Oops, that might be an incorrect assumption on my side...

I have both an X-Surf100 and a Buddha and would be happy to provide an
account on the Amiga with that hardware for you. You can run any
tests you like and install any kernel you want.

If you need an older X-Surf version, you could always ask the guys on
the a1k.org forum. They are usually very kind to loan hardware for these
purposes.

See Bartlomiej's reply to your email: It suffers from the same problem. Building it in will result in the Buddha not being recognised, as the IDE driver scans for it before Zorro si initialised.

@Bartlomiej: You're not missing anything, the problem has gone unnoticed for ages ;)
However, using ide/buddha would work exactly as it has before: When loaded as a module after Zorro has been initialised, it works just fine.

We *could* also temporarily split off a pata_buddha_xsurf driver: pata_buddha would be auto-probed by the new framework, and pata_buddha_xsurf would do the old module_init() dance.
That is, until the MFD conversion happens.

Yeah, this second part is where I get caught up. I'd really like to test this with a real X-Surf, or have someone test it, before sending it upstream.

Yes, but how can we assign specific drivers to specific clockports? As they are non-enumerable (are they?), we can't auto-probe them.

Thanks for the generous offer!

Unfortunately, we are really talking about the original (non-100) X-Surf here, as only that one has the stripped down Buddha style IDE ports:

That's why I suggested asking the a1k.org for the older version in case
the X-Surf100 doesn't help. I'm pretty sure someone there has one.

Or add temporarily a late_initcall() to find all X-Surf boards using
zorro_find_device(), create fake zorro_device_id entries, and pass both
to pata_buddha_probe()?  A big ugly, but that should work.

Of course it should be tested ;-)
Converting zorro8390.c from a zorro driver to an MFD cell driver should
not require that many changes, most bugs should be caught by code review.
I already have a skeleton 8390-cell.c driver in my zorro-mfd branch.

That's something the user has to configure.
The Buddha MFD driver registers an "a1200-clockport" cell, which is
really a separate platform device.
The user writes the name of the actual driver to use to the device's
driver_override file in sysfs, after which the driver is bound
automatically.  See Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-platform,

The alternative would be to have multiple drivers matching against
"a1200-clockport", and the user modprobe'ing the correct one to use.
But that won't work with http://wiki.icomp.de/wiki/A500/A1000_clockport
and plugging in two different clock port boards.

Sounds good, and it replaces modile_init() at the same time. I'll implement this.

Honestly, at this point I'd rather do the hack above and keep the MFD stuff for later. Let's take it step by step. I'd prefer not to touch 8390 for now, unless I can get my hands on an X-Surf. I'd like to help with the MFD stuff as a way to enable the clockport and my SilverSurfer on it, but for the moment I'd rather move that further down the road.

That sounds just like what I was hoping for, thanks.

Eeeek no, that way one can't have multiple clockports and different/no devices on some of them. I think the sysfs solution above is perfect, given the nature of the clockport.


Thanks!
