[PATCH v3 0/2] Add motorcomm phy pad-driver-strength-cfg support

[PATCH v3 0/2] Add motorcomm phy pad-driver-strength-cfg support

[Samin Guo]

The motorcomm phy (YT8531) supports the ability to adjust the drive
strength of the rx_clk/rx_data, and the default strength may not be
suitable for all boards. So add configurable options to better match
the boards.(e.g. StarFive VisionFive 2)

The first patch adds a description of dt-bingding, and the second patch adds
YT8531's parsing and settings for pad-driver-strength-cfg.

'Magic numbers' are used because we haven't been able to get real units
from motorcomm yet, but similar usage has been found in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/qca,ar803x.yaml.

  qca,clk-out-strength:
    description: Clock output driver strength.
    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
    enum: [0, 1, 2]


Changes since v2:
Patch 2:
- Readjusted the order of YT8531_RGMII_xxx to below YTPHY_PAD_DRIVE_STRENGTH_REG (by Frank Sae)
- Reversed Christmas tree, sort these longest first, shortest last (by Andrew Lunn)
- Rebased on tag v6.4

Changes since v1:
Patch 1:
- Renamed "rx-xxx-driver-strength" to "motorcomm,rx-xxx-driver-strength" (by Frank Sae)
Patch 2:
- Added default values for rxc/rxd driver strength (by Frank Sea/Andrew Lunn)
- Added range checking when val is in DT (by Frank Sea/Andrew Lunn)

I think you should use minimum & maximum instead of these listed out
enums. You have also had this comment since v1 & were reminded of it on
v2 by Krzysztof: "What do the numbers mean? What are the units? mA?"

This information should go into the binding, not sit in a thread on a
mailing list that noone will look at when trying to write a DT :(

Thanks,
Conor.

Thanks Conor, This can be improved in the next version.

The good news is that we just got some data about units from Motorcomm. 
Maybe I can post the data show of the unit later after I get the complete data.

Yes，when we have the complete 'unit' data, it will be placed in DT.

Hi Andrew & Conor,

Sorry, haven't updated in a while.
I just got the detailed data of Driver Strength(DS) from Motorcomm , which applies to both rx_clk and rx_data.

|----------------------|
|     ds map table     |
|----------------------|
| DS(3b) | Current (mA)|
|--------|-------------|
|   000  |     1.20    |
|   001  |     2.10    |
|   010  |     2.70    |
|   011  |     2.91    |
|   100  |     3.11    |
|   101  |     3.60    |
|   110  |     3.97    |
|   111  |     4.35    |
|--------|-------------|

Since these currents are not integer values and have no regularity, it is not very good to use in the drive/dts in my opinion.

Therefore, I tend to continue to use DS(0-7) in dts/driver, and adding a description of the current value corresponding to DS in dt-bindings. 

Like This:

+  motorcomm,rx-clk-driver-strength:
+    description: drive strength of rx_clk pad.
+      |----------------------|
+      | rx_clk ds map table  |
+      |----------------------|
+      | DS(3b) | Current (mA)|
+      |   000  |     1.20    |
+      |   001  |     2.10    |
+      |   010  |     2.70    |
+      |   011  |     2.91    |
+      |   100  |     3.11    |
+      |   101  |     3.60    |
+      |   110  |     3.97    |
+      |   111  |     4.35    |
+      |--------|-------------|
+    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
+    enum: [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]
+    default: 3
+
+  motorcomm,rx-data-driver-strength:
+    description: drive strength of rx_data/rx_ctl rgmii pad.
+      |----------------------|
+      | rx_data ds map table |
+      |----------------------|
+      | DS(3b) | Current (mA)|
+      |   000  |     1.20    |
+      |   001  |     2.10    |
+      |   010  |     2.70    |
+      |   011  |     2.91    |
+      |   100  |     3.11    |
+      |   101  |     3.60    |
+      |   110  |     3.97    |
+      |   111  |     4.35    |
+      |--------|-------------|

+    enum: [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]
+    default: 3
+


Or use minimum & maximum instead of these listed out enums(Suggested by Conor)

+  motorcomm,rx-clk-driver-strength:
+    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
+    default: 3
+    minimum: 0
+    maximum: 7

+      |----------------------|
+      | rx_clk ds map table  |
+      |----------------------|
+      | DS(3b) | Current (mA)|
+      |   000  |     1.20    |
+      |   001  |     2.10    |
+      |   010  |     2.70    |
+      |   011  |     2.91    |
+      |   100  |     3.11    |
+      |   101  |     3.60    |
+      |   110  |     3.97    |
+      |   111  |     4.35    |
+      |--------|-------------|
+
+  motorcomm,rx-data-driver-strength:
+    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
+    default: 3
+    minimum: 0
+    maximum: 7
+    description: drive strength of rx_data/rx_ctl rgmii pad.
+      |----------------------|

Who says you have to use mA? What about uA?

I think this goes against not putting register values into the dts &
that the accurate description of the hardware are the currents.

You need "description: |" to preserve the formatting if you add tables,
but I don't think that this is a good idea. Put the values in here that
describe the hardware (IOW the currents) and then you don't need to have
this table.

With the actual current values, enum rather than min + max.

There is no mA unit in DT schema, so I don't see what by "not integer
values". 1200 uA is an integer.

For vendor properties register values are often accepted, but logical
unit is much more readable in the DTS. Also allows further customization
or extending when new variant appears. You cannot do extend a property
easily when it holds a register value, without changing the meaning per
variant.

Integers is not a problem. Simply use uA.

I think they are fine to use. Add a lookup table, microamps to
register value. Return -EINVAL if the requested value is not in the
table. List the valid values in the schema, so the checker tool might
point out problems.

Hi Conor & Krzysztof，
Thanks for taking the time to review.
Yes, uA can be used to avoid the problem of decimals.

In addition to this, we need to deal with the DS under different IOPAD.
these values were existed at IO 1.8V. When the IO is set to 3.3V, the values will change.

Thanks Andrew,
I'll use a lookup table to try.
Another thing we need to deal with DS under different IO voltages(1.8V/2.5V/3.3V).

The IO voltage can be configured via a hardware pull-up resistor (visionfive 2 is configured to 1.8V by default), 
and then the IO voltage can be obtained or set through the register（0xA001）

(The current value of 2.5V is not available to us now)

When we need to deal with current values at different voltages, using register values in drives may be simpler, comparing the current value.
Of course, I will also follow your suggestion and use the current value + lookup table to implement a solution. Thanks!

Register values in DT are only allowed in the worst case if its all
undocumented vendor magic. You have the needed documentation, and its
easy code to write, lookup a value in a table.
