[PATCH v5] dtb: Create a common home for cross-architecture dtsi files.

[PATCH v5] dtb: Create a common home for cross-architecture dtsi files.

[Ian Campbell]

Commit 9ccd608070b6 ("arm64: dts: add device tree for ARM SMM-A53x2 on
LogicTile Express 20MG") added a new dts file to arch/arm64 which
included "../../../../arm/boot/dts/vexpress-v2m-rs1.dtsi", i.e. a
.dtsi supplied by arch/arm.

Unfortunately this causes some issues for the split device tree
repository[0], since things get moved around there. In that context
the new .dts ends up at src/arm64/arm/vexpress-v2f-1xv7-ca53x2.dts
while the include is at src/arm/vexpress-v2m-rs1.dtsi.

The sharing of the .dtsi is legitimate since the baseboard is the same
for various vexpress systems whatever processor they use.

Rather than using ../../ tricks to pickup .dtsi files from another
arch this patch creates a new directory kernel/dts as a home for such
cross-arch .dtsi files and arranges for it to be in the include path
for both dtc and cpp. The dtsi file itself is moved into a vendor
subdir in this case "arm" (the vendor, not the ARCH=).

v2: Move to include/dt-dtsi and introduce a per-vendor subdirectory.

v3: Move to kernel/dts.
    Include new directory in DTC include path as well as cpp path, and
    therefore switch back to /include/.
    Update MAINTAINERS

v4: Change path in changelog too.
    Add ()s to title of 9ccd608070b6.

v5: Remove stale reference to switching from /include/ to #include.

Hi Grant,

Do you think there is any chance of getting this into 4.2-rc$NEXT or shall
we wait until 4.3? I'm assuming this should go via the DT tree, but maybe
it should go via an ARM tree?

I was assuming this would go thru the arm-soc tree which is why I
acked it. It is getting a bit late for 4.2 at this point, but I guess
the standalone tree remains broken for these platforms until this is
done. Probably not such a big deal in grand scheme of things.

Correct.

>  Probably not such a big deal in grand scheme of things.

I guess not. FWIW I've not pushed since the breakage started happening,
so the split tree isn't broken, but it's also now however many weeks
behind. Once 4.3-rc1 arrives with this fixed I'll push all the 4.2-rcN
and 4.2 as well.

I'm cc:d in the far tail of a thread, so I'll just comment here
instead of further up:

I'm not a fan at all of creating kernel/dts/<arch>/*, at least if
there's expected to be contents in there.

We don't have include/linux/asm-<arch>/ in the common tree either.
Let's not create that for dts.

So, while I'm all for a prefix-based sharing of DTSI files, I don't
want them to go in a common kernel/dts directory.

Besides sharing some snippets between arm and arm64, what else is
expected to need to go into such a shared location today?

I'd really like to move ALL dts files from arch/*. There's nothing
really tied to the architecture. They may happen to use some bindings
that only apply to an architecture, but fundamentally they don't
depend on the arch. Also, I'd like to be able to do "make all-dtbs"
and build every dtb in the tree.

That said, I'm not crazy enough to propose this re-org in the kernel
tree, but would like to do that if/when we moved dts files out of the
kernel.

Overlays. You easily have the same sharing of common boards. There are
also usecases of overlays on architectures that don't generally use DT
(x86).

We could also see sharing between PPC and ARM on FSL networking parts,
but I've not heard if they actually have that problem.

The main benefit of keeping it per architecture and platform is that
it partitions the maintainer and review space a bit.

Right now it's not possible to do even per-arch "all-dtbs" since only
the currently configured platforms will get their dtbs compiled.

I believe this is currently still quite firmly in the "if" stage. :(

Ok, overlays might make sense if they can be made to work generically
enough and not be tied to expectations of the base board platform.

Still, even then I don't see dts as a core kernel feature (kernel/*),
lib/* might make more sense. And I don't want to see things like
vexpress stuff in there.

Yeah, there could potentially be some sharing between MIPS and
ARM{,64} too, but I don't know if we'll actually see it done.

I know. It's been on my todo list for a while. Having that per arch at
least would be an improvement. Having it arch independent would mean I
don't even need a cross-compiler (probably).

That's the goal at least.

How's it any different than vexpress board stuff under drivers/.

The original suggestion was under include/dt-bindings/. Not sure if
you saw or like that?

Yeah, seems like something that should work quite well in the scope of
Ian's tree if nothing else.

Maybe we should build both dtb-y and dtb-n when COMPILE_TEST is set? :)

And I believe there are still major concerns from platform maintainers
that it will make development much more complicated.

I'm not sure how to interpret this argument. We don't have vexpress
board stuff under kernel/boards/, so we shouldn't have the
corresponding DT contents under kernel/dts.

> The original suggestion was under include/dt-bindings/. Not sure if
> you saw or like that?

We don't store driver code in include/, so I don't see why we should
store machine descriptions there.

Something like lib/ seems more appropriate. Or drivers/..., but I
suspect that could cause further confusion on the expected separation
of binding/hardware description and the consuming drivers.

In the split tree "make all -k" will already build every dtb (and always
has done), in fact this is how I discovered the breakage which I'm trying
to address with this patch since the daily cronjob which does the
conversion runs this.

I'm quite happy to rework the patch with whatever path is settled upon.

Or if someone has an alternative suggestion for how to fix the build in the
split devicetree git tree I'm happy to give that a go too.
