[PATCH v2 0/9] Add device tree support for on-chip SRAM

[PATCH v2 0/9] Add device tree support for on-chip SRAM

[Philipp Zabel]

These patches add support to configure on-chip SRAM via device-tree
node and to obtain the resulting genalloc pool from a phandle pointing
at the node.
This allows drivers to allocate SRAM with the genalloc API without
hard-coding the genalloc pool address.

The on-chip SRAM on i.MX53 and i.MX6q is registered via device tree and
changed to use the simple generic SRAM driver:

		ocram: ocram@00900000 {
			compatible = "fsl,imx-ocram", "sram";
			reg = <0x00900000 0x3f000>;
 		};

A driver that needs to allocate SRAM buffers, like the video processing
unit on i.MX53, can retrieve the genalloc pool from a phandle in the
device tree using of_get_named_gen_pool(node, "iram", 0) from patch 5:

		vpu@63ff4000 {
			/* ... */
			iram = <&ocram>;
 		};

Changes since v1:
 - Added a generic SRAM driver in drivers/misc that does nothing but
   request/ioremap its given memory region and serve it via the genalloc
   API.
 - Renamed the i.MX device tree nodes from "iram" to "ocram".

Philipp

[PATCH v2 4/9] iram_alloc: store the virt and phys mem address in gen_pool chunks

[Philipp Zabel]

This improves the symmetry of iram_alloc and iram_free in that
iram_free has to be called with the virtual address now.
Also, gen_pool_virt_to_phys is now functional.

[PATCH v2 5/9] genalloc: add a global pool list, allow to find pools by phys address

[Philipp Zabel]

This patch keeps all created pools in a global list and adds two
functions that allow to retrieve the gen_pool pointer from a known
physical address and from a device tree node.

Helper of_parse_phandle() helps here.

I would suggest use of_address_to_resource instead and then retrieve

[PATCH v2 6/9] misc: Generic on-chip SRAM allocation driver

[Philipp Zabel]

This driver requests and remaps a memory region as configured in the
device tree. It serves memory from this region via the genalloc API.

Other drivers can retrieve the genalloc pool from a phandle pointing
to this drivers' device node in the device tree.

We now have drivers/memory, which seems to be a good place for this.

drivers/memory is created for Memory controller device drivers. SRAM is
just pool of memory and should belong to some other place.

Remove the "\n".

The kerneldoc of devm_request_and_ioremap suggests -EADDRNOTAVAIL.

[PATCH v2 9/9] ARM i.MX: remove IRAM_ALLOC facility

[Philipp Zabel]

A generic on-chip SRAM allocator driver can be used instead.
Users of the iram_alloc/free API should convert to the genalloc API:

-	virt = iram_alloc(SIZE, &phys);
+	gen_pool_alloc(iram_pool, SIZE);
+	phys = gen_pool_virt_to_phys(iram_pool, virt);
 	/* ... */
-	iram_free(virt, SIZE);
+	gen_pool_free(iram_pool, virt, SIZE);

Re: [PATCH v2 0/9] Add device tree support for on-chip SRAM

[Shawn Guo]

I do not understand the point of introducing those imx patches, 1 ~ 4
and 7, 8.  They are all unnecessary churns to me.  IMO, 4 patches are
enough.

 * genalloc: add a global pool list, allow to find pools by phys address
 * misc: Generic on-chip SRAM allocation driver
 * ARM i.MX: remove IRAM_ALLOC facility
 * ARM: dts: add sram for imx53 and imx6q

Regards,
Shawn

Thanks, I thought that first making the iram_alloc API work would
decouple this a bit from the coda vpu patches that depend on sram
support on imx53/6q. I'll work in your comments and reduce the patch
count as you propose.
