+SiFive PWM controller
+
+Unlike most other PWM controllers, the SiFive PWM controller currently only
+supports one period for all channels in the PWM. This is set globally in DTS.
+The period also has significant restrictions on the values it can achieve,
+which the driver rounds to the nearest achievable frequency.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Please refer to sifive-blocks-ip-versioning.txt
+- reg: physical base address and length of the controller's registers
+- clocks: Should contain a clock identifier for the PWM's parent clock.
+- #pwm-cells: Should be 2.
+  The first cell is the PWM channel number
+  The second cell is the PWM polarity
+- sifive,approx-period-ns: the driver will get as close to this period as it can
+- interrupts: one interrupt per PWM channel
+
+PWM RTL that corresponds to the IP block version numbers can be found
+here:
+
+https://github.com/sifive/sifive-blocks/tree/master/src/main/scala/devices/pwm
+
+Further information on the format of the IP
+block-specific version numbers can be found in
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sifive/sifive-blocks-ip-versioning.txt
+
+Examples:
+
+pwm:  pwm@10020000 {
+	compatible = "sifive,fu540-c000-pwm","sifive,pwm0";
+	reg = <0x0 0x10020000 0x0 0x1000>;
+	clocks = <&tlclk>;
+	interrupt-parent = <&plic>;
+	interrupts = <42 43 44 45>;
+	#pwm-cells = <2>;
+	sifive,approx-period-ns = <1000000>;
+};

From a general code quality point of view this looks fine to me.
I don't really know anything about the PWM subsystem, though:

Hello,

this is v3, right? It is helpful to point this out to ease reviewing.

Not sure what was updated here. But assuming this is compared to v2 this
is not a helpful info in the commit log.

While the description was too verbose in v2, this is too short. You
should at least mention something like "sifive,pwmX" and
"sifive,$cpuname-pwm" (or how ever that scheme works).

I'd drop these two lines and refer to bindings/pwm/pwm.txt instead.

As already said for v2: I'd drop "approx-".

I'd say add:

	depends on MACH_SIFIVE || COMPILE_TEST

(I guess "MACH_SIFIVE" is wrong, but I assume you get what I mean.)

I wonder if such an instance should be only a single PWM instead of
four. Then you were more flexible with the period lengths (using
pwmcfg.pwmzerocmp) and could do stuff like inverted and uninverted mode.

I didn't understand how the deglitch logic works yet. Currently it is
not used which might result in four edges in a single period (which is
bad).

I suggest a common prefix for these defines. Something like
PWM_SIFIVE_

Also a common prefix please. Something like PWM_SIFIVE_PWMCFG_ seems
sensible.

Please describe what this constant means. I think this is "ncmp" in the
reference manual. If so, using PWM_SIFIVE_NCMP as name instead seems
adequate.

MASK_PWM_SCALE is unused, please drop it.

I'd call this pwm_sifive_ddata. The prefix because the driver is called
pwm-sifive and ddata because this is driver data and not a device.

given that the driver is called pwm-sifive, please use pwm_sifive as
function prefix.

In the reference manual this 16 is called "cmpwidth" I think. If I
understand correctly this might in theory be different from 16, so it
would be great if this would be at least a cpp symbol for now.

In the previous review round I asked here:

| Also if real_period is for example 10 ms and the consumer requests
| duty=12 ms + period=100 ms, the hardware is configured for duty=1.2 ms +
| period=10 ms, right?

which you confirmed. IMHO this is not acceptable. If the period is
fixed, you should return -EINVAL (I think) if a different period is
requested.

> +	writel(frac, pwm->regs + REG_PWMCMP0 + dev->hwpwm * SIZE_PWMCMP);

If you get a constant inactive output with frac=0 and a constant active
output with frac=0xffff the calculation above seems wrong to me.
(A value i written to the pwmcmpX register means a duty cycle of
(i * period / 0xffff). Your calculation assumes a divisor of 0x10000
however.)

Does this need locking? (Maybe not with the current state.)

I can enable deglitch logic by just setting a bit (BIT_PWM_DEGLITCH) in
REG_PWMCFG. Will do that.

No, it is not ncmp. It is used to calculate the offset for pwmcmp registers.
I will add the description for the above constant.

I assume you meant to add a macro for cmpwidth and use it here.

Not sure if I get you completely. But, if divisor of 0xffff is your concern then
does the below look ok?

frac = div_u64(((u64)duty_cycle << 16) - duty_cycle, state->period);

I believe I can remove the second compatible string.

If this is not going to be available at least protect it by

This only works for the first pwm output though.

When thinking about this a bit more, I think the better approach would
be to let the consumer change the period iff there is only one consumer.
Then you can drop that approx-period stuff and the result is more
flexible. (Having said that I still prefer making the driver provide
only a single PWM with the ability to have periods other than powers of
two.)

This works (I think, didn't redo the maths), but I would prefer

	frac = div_u64((u64)duty_cycle * 0xffff, state->period);

for better readability. (Maybe the compiler is even clever enough to see
this can be calculated as you suggested.)

My thought was, that the clk freq might change while .apply is active.
But given that you only configure the relative duty cycle this is
independent of the actual clk freq.

There's nothing RISC-V or SiFive SoC-specific about this driver or IP 
block.  The HDL for this IP block is open-source and posted on Github.  
The IP block and driver would work unchanged on an ARM or MIPS SoC, and in 
fact, SiFive does design ARM-based SoCs as well.  Likewise, any other SoC 
vendor could take the HDL for this IP block from the git tree and 
implement it on their own SoC.

More generally: it's a basic principle of Linux device drivers that they 
should be buildable for any architecture.  The idea here is to prevent 
developers from burying architecture or SoC-specific hacks into the 
driver.  So there shouldn't be any architecture or SoC-specific code in 
any device driver, unless it's abstracted in some way - ideally through a 
common framework.

So from this point of view, neither "depends MACH_SIFIVE" nor "depends 
RISCV" would be appropriate.  Similarly, the equivalents for other 
architectures (e.g. "ARCH_ARM") or SoC manufacturers (e.g., 
"MACH_SAMSUNG") wouldn't be appropriate for any generic IP block device 
driver like this one.

The dependency serves two purposes:

 a) ensure that the build requirements are fulfilled.
 b) restrict configuration to actually existing machines

When considering b) it doesn't make sense to enable the driver for (say)
a machine that is powered by an ARM SoC by TI. If you still want to
compile test the sifive driver for ARM, enable COMPILE_TEST. That's what
this symbol is there for.

COMPILE_TEST made slightly more sense before the broad availability of 
open-source soft cores, SoC integration, and IP; and before powerful, 
inexpensive FPGAs and SoCs with FPGA fabrics were common.

Even back then, COMPILE_TEST was starting to look questionable.  IP blocks 
from CPU- and SoC vendor-independent libraries, like DesignWare and the 
Cadence IP libraries, were integrated on SoCs across varying CPU 
architectures.  (Fortunately, looking at the tree, subsystem maintainers 
with DesignWare drivers seem to have largely avoided adding architecture 
or SoC-specific Kconfig restrictions there - and thus have also avoided 
the need for COMPILE_TEST.)  If an unnecessary architecture Kconfig 
dependency was added for a leaf driver, that Kconfig line would either 
need to be patched out by hand, or if present, COMPILE_TEST would need to 
be enabled.

This was less of a problem then.  There were very few FPGA Linux users, 
and they were mostly working on internal proprietary projects. FPGAs that 
could run Linux at a reasonable speed, including MMUs and FPUs, were 
expensive or were missing good tool support.  So most FPGA Linux 
development was restricted to ASIC vendors - the Samsungs, Qualcomms, 
NVIDIAs of the world - for prototyping, and those FPGA platforms never 
made it outside those companies.

The situation is different now.  The major FPGA vendors have inexpensive 
FPGA SoCs with full-featured CPU hard macros.  The development boards can 
be quite affordable (< USD 300 for the Xilinx Ultra96).  There are also 
now open-source SoC HDL implementations - including MMUs, FPUs, and 
peripherals like PWM and UART - for the conventional FPGA market.  These 
can run at mid-1990's clock rates - slow by modern standards but still 
quite usable.

So or vendor-specific IP blocks that are unlikely to ever be reused by 
anyone else, like the NVIDIA or TI PWM blocks, maybe there's still some 
justification for COMPILE_TEST.  But for drivers for open-source, 
SoC-independent peripheral IP blocks - or even for proprietary IP blocks 
from library vendors like Synopsys or Cadence - like this PWM driver, we 
shouldn't add unnecessary architecture, SoC vendor, or COMPILE_TEST 
Kconfig dependencies.  They will just force users to patch the kernel or 
enable COMPILE_TEST for kernels that are actually meant to run on real 
hardware.

Sure, will multiply it with 0xffff for better readability.

I mixed this up with pwmzerocmp; deglitch should work on all four

The idea is to count the users using the .request and .free callbacks.
Iff there is exactly one, allow changes to period.

But please consider moving to an abstraction that only provides a single
pwm instead.

In my eyes it's better to make a driver not possible to enable out of
the box than offering to enable it while it most probably won't be used.

People who configure their own kernel and distribution kernel
maintainers will thank you. (Well ok, they won't notice, so they won't
actually tell you, but anyhow.) I'm a member of the Debian kernel team
and I see how many config items there are that are not explicitly
handled for the various different kernel images. If they were restricted
using COMPILE_TEST to just be possible to enable on machines where it is
known (or at least likely) to make sense that would help. Also when I do
a kernel version bump for a machine with a tailored kernel running (say)
on an ARM/i.MX SoC, I could more easily be careful about the relevant
changes when doing oldconfig if I were not asked about a whole bunch of
drivers that are sure to be irrelevant.

And if someone synthesizes this sifive PWM into an FPGA that is
connected to an OMAP, changing

	depends RISCV || COMPILE_TEST

to something like

	depends RISCV || MACH_OMAP || COMPILE_TEST

is a relatively low effort. (Or we introduce a symbol that tells that
the machine has an FPGA and based on that enable the sifive pwm driver.)
And if a single person comes up saying they need that driver on OMAP
I happily support such a change.

I understand that downside. I just think that people who synthesize an
open source core into their machine and then run Linux on it are very
likely easily able to patch the Kconfig file to enable the needed
drivers and tell us. Also if you compare the number of people who hit
this problem to the number of people to have to decide if they need
PWM_SIFIVE and don't need it, I guess there will be an at least
big two-digit factor between them. And as soon as this OMAP machine with
the FPGA becomes mainstream enough that tutorials pop up in the web that
give you a copy&paste template to put the sifive pwm into it, I expect
the dependency is already fixed.

Yes, there is no big harm if you enable this driver and don't need
it. But there are hundreds of drivers, and together they do hurt.
Also if you support a "newbie" configuring their first kernel, this is
much less frightening and gives a much better impression if at least
most of the presented options matter. Also it is easier to pick your pwm
driver if it's presented in a list of ten driver than if the list has
100 items.

There are reasons for both approaches and we need to weight the
respective interests. In my eyes it's clear which is the better
approach, but obviously YMMV. So if you choose to not restrict the
kconfig symbol, at least do it consciously with the arguments for the
other side in mind. And please also consider that your position is
subjective because you're a kernel developer and personally don't care
much if configuring a kernel is difficult to a newcomer.

Best regards
Uwe

I don't think you can do that. You're omitting the second cell
representing the period, so this is different from the standard binding
and therefore needs to be explicit.

That said, given the rest of the discussion in the other threads, maybe
it no longer makes sense to set the period on the whole block, but
rather just note in the binding that all PWMs need to run at the same
period. If the driver already refuses to apply incompatible periods,
your users are going to notice that they've got the DT wrong.

This would have the advantage that you can use the standard bindings.

I thought this IP only allowed a single period for all PWM channels in
the IP. If so, splitting this into four different devices is going to
complicate things because you'd have to coordinate between all four as
to which period is currently set.

I don't think there's a need to have an extra suffix. Just call this
sifive_pwm or pwm_sifive. There's no ambiguity in that name and it's
short and crisp.

I'm not sure I understand why this correction is necessary. Is it okay
to request a state to be applied and when we're not able to set that
state we just set anything as close as possible? Sounds a bit risky to
me. What if somebody wants to use this in a case where precision
matters?

Now, if you're saying that there can't be such cases and we should
support this, then why restrict the state correction to when the PWM is
enabled? What's wrong with correcting it in either case?

This might sound like a good idea in general, but it's also something
that is pretty much impossible to do. There's just no heuristic that
would allow you to determine with a sufficient degree of probability
that a driver won't be needed. Most of the PCI drivers that are
installed on my workstation aren't used, and I would venture to say
there are a lot of drivers that aren't used in, say, 95% of
installations. That doesn't mean that we should somehow make these
drivers difficult to install, or require someone to patch the kernel
to build them.

I think the important thing here is that the driver is "default n". If
you're a developer and build your own kernels, you're pretty likely to
know already if a new kernel that you're installing contains that new
driver that you've been working on or waiting for. In that case you can
easily just enable it manually rather than go through make oldconfig and
wait for it to show up.

As for distribution kernel maintainers, are they really still building a
lot of different kernels? If so, it sounds like most of the multi-
platform efforts have been in vain. I would imagine that if, as a
distribution kernel team, you'd want to carefully evaluate for every
driver whether or not you'd want to include it. I would also imagine
that you'd want to provide your users with the most flexible kernel
possible, so that if they do have a system with an FPGA that you'd make
it possible for them to use pwm-sifive if they choose to synthesize it.

If you really want to create custom builds tailored to a single chip or
board, it's going to be a fair amount of work anyway. I've occasionally
done that in the past and usually just resorted to starting from an
allnoconfig configuration and then working my way up from there.

As for daily work as a developer, when I transition between kernel
versions, or from one linux-next to another, I typically end up doing
the manual equivalent of:

	$ yes '' | make oldconfig

if I know that I'm not interested in any new features. But I also often
just look at what's new because it's interesting to see what's been
going on elsewhere.

Take a look at the above link, figure 6 is depicting how this IP works
(page 92 of the pdf). If you have pwmzerocmp=0 (and pwmcmpXgang=0) the
four outputs (pwmcmpXgpio) are independant and the counter only resets
on overflow of pwms. Then you have 4 outputs that can have their
duty_cycle (but not period) set individually. So period is restricted to
a count of clk cycles that is a power of two.

With pwmzerocmp=1, pwmcmp0 resets the counter with the following
effects:

 - pwmcmp0gpio is always 0 (bad?)
 - more finegrained control over the period length as the restriction to
   powers of two is gone (good)

The other three output can then either be used as 3 PWM outputs with the
more flexible (but identical) period or only pwmcmp1gpio is used as a
single output (my favourite) and with pwmcmp2, pwmcmp3 and pwmcmp2gang=1
the output pwmcmp2gpio can be used as a secondary output to implement
stuff that was called "complementary mode" or "Push-pull mode" by
Claudiu Beznea.

There is always rounding involved. Where should we draw a line then?
Consider a parent clk running at 1000000001 Hz. Can you provide a duty
cycle of 1 ps? Of if the clk runs at 500000000 Hz, I can implement even
periods, but not the uneven. Should the driver fail if an uneven period
is requested? What should a user do if setting

	.duty_cycle = 55, .period = 100,

fails? Assume the pwm can set only even duty_cycles? Or maybe duty_cycle
and period must be dividable by 3? Or maybe only periods that are a
power of two are possible? To get both, an API that can actually be
worked with and that provides precision, the driver needs to be allowed
to round (preferably in some defined way that is used for all devices)
and we need a function to determine the result without actually
configuring. That's how it works in the clk_* universe. There is
clk_round_rate and clk_set_rate and the explicit condition that

	clk_set_rate(clk, somerate)

has the same effect as

	clk_set_rate(clk, clk_round_rate(clk, somerate))

and after one of them we have

	clk_get_rate(clk) = clk_round_rate(clk, somerate))

Either the correction should be done always or never.

If there is a PCI card that can be plugged into your machine, the
corresponding driver should be selectable for the matching kernel.

The case here is different though. We're talking about a piece of
hardware that up to now only exists in a riscv machine (IIUC). Yes, I'm
aware that the design is publicly available, still I think this driver
should not be available for a person configuring a kernel for their x86
machine. When you (or someone else) comes around claiming that they have
a real use for this driver on a non-riscv architecture I support
expanding the dependency accordingly.

What I want to make aware of is that being able to enable a driver comes
at a (small) cost. Using a too broad dependency is quite usual because
the person who introduces a given symbol usually doesn't have to think
long if it should be enabled for a given kernel config or not; so it's
"only" other people's time that is wasted.

If you are a developer waiting for your driver you also would not miss
it because it was only selectable for riscv but you're the first who
synthesized it for an arm machine. So there is only little damage.

In the Debian kernel there are as of now 39 kernel images. Some of them
only differ by stuff that is irrelevant for driver selection (like rt).
But apart from these there is still mostly only a single image available
for a given machine because multi-platform efforts are not good enough
to allow cross-architecture kernels. Or kernels that can handle both big
and little endian.

The Debian distro kernel I'm running has a .config file with 7317 config
items (grep CONFIG /boot/config-$(uname -r) | wc -l). 1922 of them are
disabled (grep is\ not\ set /boot/config-$(uname -r) | wc -l). If you
find the time to only go through the 1922 options that are disabled for
this amd64 kernel, tell me, I provide you the config file.

I would today probably choose to not enable pwm-sifive for Debian on a
non-riscv arch kernel because nobody told to have a use for it and the
cost of enabling the driver is that it takes hard disk space for several
thousand machines without any use.

And given that we here have the knowledge that up to now PWM_SIFIVE=[ym]
is only usable on riscv, I think we should put that into the
condition that makes the driver selectable. It's not hard for a distro
maintainer to find the same information; say it takes 5 minutes (that
works here because the driver under discussion has a link to the
reference manual in the header). Multiply that by the count of drivers.

Ah right, this is a hard job, so it doesn't make a difference when we
make it a little bit harder?

I usually start with $(make oldconfig) without the yes part. But when I
get 10th question in a row that is completely irrelevant for my target
machine because it doesn't have the graphics core that is found only on
Samsung ARM SoCs or the nand controllers that can only be found on some
powerpc machines I'm annoyed and I press and hold the Enter key.
I'm well aware that I'm missing some interesting stuff then, though,
which is sad.

The kernel config as a way to see what is going on elsewhere is a use
case that is broken by my preferred approach. Be warned that you already
miss stuff today if you only look there.
