[PATCH V2 0/2] mtd/maps/mtd-ram: Make driver usable for the device tree

[PATCH V2 0/2] mtd/maps/mtd-ram: Make driver usable for the device tree

[Wolfram Sang]

Hello,

this is the new series to adapt the mtd-ram-driver for use with the device
tree. All comments have been addressed and it has been tested on a
phyCORE-MPC5200B-IO (with latest linus-git).

Albrecht: As you used the patches recently, maybe you want to ack them?

Looking forward to comments, especially on the binding. Thanks!

Regards,

   Wolfram

[PATCH V2 1/2] mtd/maps/mtd-ram: refactor probe and remove

[Wolfram Sang]

[-- Warning: decoded text below may be mangled, UTF-8 assumed --]
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 7285 bytes --]

Refactor the probe and remove routines of the mtd-ram driver to export a
generic part which can later be accessed by an of-counterpart of this
driver. Tested with a phyCORE-i.MX27 (ARM, non-of) and a
phyCORE-MPC5200B-IO (PPC, of).

[PATCH V2 2/2] mtd/maps/mtd-ram: add an of-platform driver

[Wolfram Sang]

Create an of-aware driver using the now exported generic functions from
plat-ram.c. Also add the documentation for the binding. Partitions are
not yet supported. Tested on a phyCORE-MPC5200B-IO.

Changes in V2:

- added binding documentation
- added __devinit & friends
- put struct resource on stack during probe
- simplified getting the name of the of-device
- made error path more readable & add check for valid bank-width-pointer
- rename driver to "of-mtd-ram"

These patches work great for me on a self-designed, roughly Icecube  
based, 5200B board, with a 512kB NV Ram.  As I use 16-bit accesses via  
the Local Plus bus to the chip, I had to add some more tweaks to other  
files, which I promise to post next week...

Thanks, Albrecht.

Do we have an ack for the device-tree bindings? 

It _would_ be possible to hook up RAM through the existing of_physmap
driver, I think -- although it would be slightly less efficient that
way.

Maybe cleaner from the device-tree POV though. And if we want to put a
special case in the _code_ to make it more efficient, we can do that.

During development, I also checked physmap_of.c and found this binding:

        {
                .type           = "rom",
                .compatible     = "direct-mapped"
        },

which made some sense to me and I thought about .type = "ram". However, I then
found this in the code:

/* Helper function to handle probing of the obsolete "direct-mapped"
 * compatible binding, which has an extra "probe-type" property
 * describing the type of flash probe necessary. */
static struct mtd_info * __devinit obsolete_probe(struct of_device *dev,
                                                  struct map_info *map)
{
[...]

        dev_warn(&dev->dev, "Device tree uses obsolete \"direct-mapped\" "
                 "flash binding\n");

My conclusion was then that a mtd-ram binding wouldn't belong here, but I have
maybe misinterpreted things...

Well, Grant acked so far and he surely has a voice in the device-tree-world :)
Or do you want a specific ack for that?

Question: why is bank-width even relevant for a RAM device?

At least if the RAM is attached to the 5200's Local Plus Bus in 16-bit  
mode, no byte write accesses are allowed (byte /reads/ work, though).   
I have a tweak (which I will post next week) to address this case,  
which depends upon this setting.  No idea if the same happens on other  
chips and/or on 5200 in 32-bit (muxed) mode, but I guess similar  
effects will pop up there, too.

Cheers, Albrecht.

The underlying map_ram-driver uses it once while erasing. The question remains
if this is really needed? And: Does this need to get solved before merging my
patches because changing the binding afterwards is hard? Or can they go
mainline nevertheless?

To put this clearer: on '5200 based systems, the driver (more specific:  
the function inline_map_copy_to()) *must* know whether the hardware is  
connected in 8-bit or 16-bit mode to the Local Plus Bus, as byte writes  
(issued by memcpy_toio()) will fail for the latter setup (probably the  
same applies for byte and word writes in 32-bit mode).

IMHO, this information should be passed using the device tree.  The  
"bank-width" seems to be an obvious choice for that.

Best, Albrecht.

Dumb question: what is the current status of this patch?  I ask because  
I re-wrote my '5200 16-bit Local Plus Bus patch' according to Grant's  
suggestions, and I believe of_ram_probe() of your patch is the right  
place to check if it's attached to "fsl,mpc5200-lpb", and to change the  
write cb if the bankwidth equals 2.

Thanks, Albrecht.

I don't know.

David wondered if 'of_physmap' could be used, so I wrote what I experienced
during development. I can't tell if this helped the case.

Grant wondered if we need a bankwidth. IMHO it is needed for now, but I don't
know if this is a common agreement.

I'm not happy about the use case though.  It probably shouldn't appear
in this binding, or if it does it should be tagged as an optional
property.  It is only in the 5200 localplus case that bank-width is
needed to figure out how to apply the workaround.

Maybe there is a misunderstanding here. I am not talking about Albrecht's case.
What I replied to your concern is that bankwidth is used(!) in the underlying
map-ram-driver in mapram_erase() at the moment. Whether this is really needed
could be discussed perhaps, but is beyond the scope of this patch series IMHO.
I'd think this can be addressed in a later series, if needed, although this
could mean that the binding will change (bank-width becoming optional).

Okay, fair enough.  I wasn't paying very close attention when I replied.  It

dangerous).

I agree with you that the naming is really misleading - other devices  
which are not mtd's may suffer from the same problem of the lpb (in my  
case, I have an extra memory-mapped Ethernet chip which I didn't try to  
access yet...).

As it is actually a chip select property, what about defining an  
optional property like "cs-width = (8|16|32)" which defaults to 8 and  
may be added to each 5200 lpb child?

Just out of curiosity: what about the "localbus" of other Freescale  
chips (82xx? 83xx? Maybe others?)?

Thanks, Albrecht.
