[PATCH] Watchdog: sp5100_tco: Replace watchdog cd6h/cd7h port I/O accesses with MMIO accesses

[Terry Bowman]

Use MMIO instead of port I/O during SMBus controller address discovery.
Also, update how EFCH capability is determined by replacing a family check
with a PCI revision ID check.

cd6h/cd7h port I/O can be disabled on recent AMD hardware. Read accesses to
disabled cd6h/cd7h port I/O will return F's and written data is dropped.
The recommended workaround to handle disabled cd6h/cd7h port I/O is
replacing port I/O with MMIO accesses. The MMIO access method has been
available since at least SMBus controllers using PCI revision 0x59.

The sp5100_tco driver uses a CPU family match of 17h to determine 
EFCH_PM_DECODEEN_WDT_TMREN register support. Using a family check requires
driver updates for each new AMD CPU family following 17h. This patch
replaces the family check with a check for SMBus PCI revision ID 0x59 and
later. Note: Family 17h processors use SMBus PCI revision ID 0x59. The
intent is to use the PCI revision ID check to support future AMD processors
while minimizing required driver changes. The caveat with this change is
the sp5100_tco driver must be updated if a new AMD processor family changes
the EFCH design or the SMBus PCI ID value doesn't follow this pattern.

Tested with forced WDT reset using `cat >> /dev/watchdog`.

I am sorry, I don't understand why the new code can not use devm functions,
why the new data structure is necessary in the first place, and why it is
not possible to improve alignment with the existing code. This will require
a substantial amount of time to review to ensure that the changes are not
excessive (at first glance it for sure looks like that to me).

Hi Guenter,

I can change the patch to use devm functions as you mentioned. My
understanding is the patch's reservation and mapping related functions
are the focus. I originally chose not to use devm functions because the
patch's MMIO reserved and mapped resources are not held for the driver
lifetime as is the case for most device managed resources. The
sp5100_tco driver must only hold these MMIO resources briefly because
other drivers use the same EFCH MMIO registers. An example of another
driver using the same registers is the piix4_smbus driver (drivers/i2c
/busses/i2c-piix4.c). This patch can be changed to use the devm
functions but the driver may not benefit from the device management.

The 'struct efch_cfg' addition is needed for MMIO reads/writes as well
as during cleanup when leaving sp5100_region_setup(). This structure was
chosen to contain the data instead of passing multiple parameters to
each EFCH function called.

Do you have any recommendations for how to best improve the alignment?

Regards,
Terry

Overall it seems to me that it might make more sense to implement this
as new driver instead of messing with the existing driver. Have you
thought about that ?

A new driver was initially considered for this patch. I decided to update
the sp5100_tco driver instead because the changes are limited to
initialization and post-initialization code is not modified. Also, updating
the existing sp5100_tco driver allows for code reuse.

This patch can be split into 2 or more patches to simplify review and
testing. Would this help?

devm was not chosen here as the iomem is only used during
initialization. The resource is released at the end of it. Using devm
would keep it open and carry it around including its data until the
device is released which we wanted to avoid. This would also add
unnecessary data to struct sp5100_tco and/or the device's data.

Instead we used struct efch_cfg to carry all that temporary data
required during initialization. This is destroyed at the end of
sp5100_tco_setupdevice().

The driver serves 3 to 4 platforms now. To refactor it a core driver
is needed plus sub-drivers for each platform. We decided not to change
existing code here for older platforms and keep it as it is for them.

Moreover, the efch driver only needs changes to its initialization
code (using mmio instead of ioports), everything else remains the
same.

This patch implements mostly helper functions and adds alternative
code paths for the mmio case. For an easier review we could split the
patch in about 3-4 patches, would that help?

Thanks,
