[RFC PATCH 0/6] UART slave devices using serio

[RFC PATCH 0/6] UART slave devices using serio

[Rob Herring]

This is a new approach to supporting UART slave devices using the
existing serio bus. After Arnd's proding, I took another look at serio
and decided extending it does make sense. Using serio primarily requires
adding DT based device matching and supporting buffer based write and
receive.

Currently, I'm using the existing serio serport ldisc for testing. This
requires using inputattach to open the tty and set the ldisc which in
turn registers a serio port with the serio core:

inputattach -bare /dev/ttyAMA1

Once a tty_port based serio port driver is in place, this step will not
be needed. Supporting cases like a USB UART will also work if the USB
UART is described in DT. If not described in DT, I'm not sure if the
existing serio manual binding is sufficient (Need to figure out how that
works). Slave drivers also need other ways to specify additional data
using module params perhaps. Getting DT overlays to work for
non-discoverable devices behind discoverable buses (i.e. detached from
a base DT) is another option, but that's not yet supported in general.

I've done all the serio changes in place, but ultimately I think at
least the core of serio should be moved out of drivers/input/. I don't
think it belongs under drivers/tty/ or drivers/tty/serial/, so
drivers/serio/?

BT is working under QEMU to the point a slave driver can bind to a
serio port device via DT, register as a BT device, start sending out
initial packets and receive data (typed at a terminal). Now I need to
find a real device.

A git branch is available here[1]. Note it will get rebased.

[RFC PATCH 1/6] serio: add DT driver binding

[Rob Herring]

This adds DT driver binding support to the serio bus. The parent of the
serio port device must have a device_node associated with it. Typically,
this would be the UART device node. The slave device must be a child node
of the UART device node.

[RFC PATCH 2/6] serio: serport: hacks to get DT probe to work

[Rob Herring]

For DT matching, the serio->dev.parent is expected to be the UART device
which is the tty's parent device. Not sure if this change has any side
effects, but this is all just for testing.

The spinlock causes deadlocks if serio_write is called from interrupt
handler as write_wakeup gets called. This could be fixed by clearing
TTY_DO_WRITE_WAKEUP if the spinlock is locked, but just doing quick hack
for now.

[RFC PATCH 3/6] serio: add buffer receive and write functions

[Rob Herring]

Currently, serio only supports a character at a time receive and write
functions. In order to support higher speed protocols like bluetooth,
buffer at a time functions are needed.

This mirrors the tty ldisc interface for write and receive_buf. Now that
a whole buffer can be queued, we need to be able to flush the write
queue as well.

While the write path doesn't require any updates to serio port drivers
as buffered write can be emulated with the existing write() function,
the receive path for port drivers must be updated to support the
buffered receive.

A tty ldisc naturally supports writing a buffer at a time, so convert the
serport driver to use the serio write_buf() function. For clients using
the existing interfaces, there is no change in functionality.

Elsewhere:

+       if (drv->receive_buf)
+               set_bit(SERIO_MODE_BUFFERED, &drv->flags);

Could we use if (drv->receive_buf) above directly, and not require the
bitfield?

I'm allowing for allowing drivers to provide both functions and be
able to switch between them. However, I didn't provide any mechanism
to do so yet.

Dunno -- does switching make sense? IMO we'd want to migrate all the
drivers to the "blocks" interface... no need to switch between the
two.

[RFC PATCH 6/6] bluetooth: hack up ldisc to use serio

[Rob Herring]

This hacks up the BT ldisc in place to work as a serio driver. It will
need refactoring into common, ldisc, and serio parts.

It is working under QEMU to the point the driver can bind to a serio
device via DT, register as a BT device, start sending out initial
packets and receive data (typed at a terminal). Now I need to find a
real device.

Still need to figure out how to plumb a few tty things like
TTY_DO_WRITE_WAKEUP bit handling and tty_unthrottle.

Ugg, ignore that one. That's what I get for not cleaning out patches

I had a more detailed look at the series during the last two weeks.
For me the approach looks ok and it should work for the nokia bluetooth
use case. Actually my work on that driver is more or less stalled until
this is solved, so it would be nice to get this forward. Whose feedback
is this waiting from? I guess

 * Alan & Greg for the serial parts
 * Marcel for the bluetooth parts
 * Dmitry for the serio parts

Maybe you can try to find some minutes at the Kernel Summit to talk
about this?

Anyways, for the series:

I think it is mainly waiting for me to spend more time on it and get
the tty port part done. I could use help especially for converting the
BT part properly.

Still waiting for my invite...

But I will be at Plumbers if folks want to discuss this.

The general approach could already be commented on.

Ok, I will have a look at that.

Ok. I obviously assumed invites have already been sent and that you
would be invited.

Hey Rob,

I'm here so let's make time to discuss this.

Tomorrow should be good for me after the complex device dependencies discussion.

I have a somewhat working branch using ttyport and serio here[1]. It
works with a BT device to the level the device works with my PC which
is only identifying the BCM device and loading the firmware.

I'm still not sure using serio really buys us much. We probably want
to hide some of the sysfs files when using DT binding. It also
provides a file to reconnect devices. I suppose this is because there
is typically no hotplug detection on PS/2 ports? Serio also provides
its own async binding mechanism. Perhaps this can be updated to use
async probing?

The registration of serio ports is a bit problematic. I had the tty
port registration call into the serio ttyport driver to register, but
this broke serio working as a module. While serial drivers can be
modules, the tty_port code is always built-in. So the serio ttyport
driver will request a callback for all tty ports when the serio driver
is loaded. This means any tty driver hotplugged after serio will not
be registered with serio. The only other solution I see is serio would
have to be built-in.
