cover Add driver for Nicera D3-323-AA PIR sensor

Nicera D3-323-AA is a PIR sensor for human detection. It has support for raw data measurements and detection notification. The communication protocol is custom made and therefore needs to be GPIO bit banged.

Previously, there has been an attempt to add a driver for this device [1]. However, that driver was written for the wrong sub-system. hwmon is clearly not a suitable framework for a proximity device.

In this series, we add a driver for support for event notification for detections through IIO (the more appropriate sub-system!). The various settings have been mapped to existing sysfs ABIs in the IIO framework.

The public datasheet [2] is quite sparse. A more detailed version can be obtained through the company.

PATCH 2/3 dt-bindings: iio: proximity: Add Nicera D3-323-AA PIR sensor

In reply to Waqar Hameed

Nicera D3-323-AA is a PIR sensor for human detection. It has support for raw data measurements and detection notification. The communication protocol is custom made and therefore needs to be GPIO bit banged.

Add devicetree bindings requiring the compatible string and the various GPIOs needed for operation. Some of the GPIOs have multiple use-cases depending on device state. Describe these thoroughly.

This pin is a little weird actually. As described below, right after power on, it is used as an interrupt to signal "ready for configuration". Then, it used as a bit banged clock signal for configuration. Finally, it is back as interrupt pin for threshold PIR sensor detections.

So, I'm not really sure what to call this (just opted for what it's called in the data sheet: "Vout (CLK)"). Just clk-gpios wouldn't be correct either, right? Should we prefix it with the vendor nicera,? Or any other suggestions?

PATCH 3/3 iio: Add driver for Nicera D3-323-AA PIR sensor

In reply to Waqar Hameed

Nicera D3-323-AA is a PIR sensor for human detection. It has support for raw data measurements and detection notification. The communication protocol is custom made and therefore needs to be GPIO bit banged.

Nicera D3-323-AA is a PIR sensor for human detection. It has support for raw data measurements and detection notification. The communication protocol is custom made and therefore needs to be GPIO bit banged.

The device has two main settings that can be configured: a threshold value for detection and a band-pass filter. The configurable parameters for the band-pass filter are the high-pass and low-pass cutoff frequencies and its peak gain. Map these settings to the corresponding parameters in the iio framework.

The low-pass and high-pass cutoff frequencies are pairwise for the different available filter types. Because of this, only allow to set the low-pass cutoff frequency from sysfs and use that to configure the corresponding high-pass cutoff frequency. This is sufficient to unambiguously choose a filter type.

Raw data measurements can be obtained from the device. However, since we rely on bit banging, it will be rather cumbersome with buffer support. The main reason being that the data protocol has strict timing requirements (it's serial like UART), and it's mainly used during debugging since in real-world applications only the event notification is of importance. Therefore, only add support for events (for now).

Hi Waqar,

Biggest suggestion in here is hide those bitmaps. They are of interest only at point of reading and writing. I wouldn't use them for device state elsewhere as they make for much less readable code than using simple fields in iio_priv() for the state elements and building up the bitmaps only where needed.

Put that inline where used. A define like this both implies that various values must be the same when they need not be and means that we have to go find the define to fine out what they are set to. Just setting the strings directly tends to end up more readable.

Perhaps these can be represented as masks using GENMASK() rather than bits. A lot of this will be hidden away if you follow suggesting to only expose that you are using a bitmap to bitbang in the read/write functions.

Rename regmap. regmap means some specific stuff in the kernel register_bm or something like that avoids that potential confusion.

However, it would be much easier to read this driver if only this function and the read one knew about the bitmap stuff. Inside the reset of the driver just store and pass around a structure with the various fields. Then in here use that to build up the bitmap locally and write to the device. The opposite in read which decodes the bitmap into those fields.

That will make for a more standard and easier to review driver.

Why not use a larger bitmap with padding for this end pattern and just write this into that? At which point this can all be one loop.

Ideally I'd like a setup where we can wire the interrupt side of this to one pin and the gpio needed for writing to another. In practice they may well be the same pin but that does introduced a bunch of races and dependency on what the interrupt controller does when an irq is disabled.

Using one pin as an irq and as a data line is prone to some nasty corner cases though it works on some SoCs.

Can you keep to a single handler with a check on device state? This dance with releasing and requesting irqs is rather complex when all you need to know is what the irq means and that is state the driver knows.

This is somewhat unintiutive userspace inteface. I'd try and do the best possible in response to a userspace request.

If it's not then pick the one that has best match lp (so nearest) on assumption userspace is probably about to update the lp side anyway.

Slight fiddlier code than you have here, but a better attempt to figure out what the users is after than rejecting writes.

So this is an ordering mess. You should never mix devm handling and non devm handling - once something happens in probe that is non devm you stop using devm_* from that point on.

The irq handling in here is complex, but not on fast paths. As such I'd do devm_irq_request() and if you need to free it do so with devm_free_irq() in the places where you immediately re request it. However see above. That should allow you to to drop this remove callabck.

Hi Waqar,

Biggest suggestion in here is hide those bitmaps. They are of interest only at point of reading and writing. I wouldn't use them for device state elsewhere as they make for much less readable code than using simple fields in iio_priv() for the state elements and building up the bitmaps only where needed.

Hi Jonathan!

Thank you for thorough (as usual) review!

Put that inline where used. A define like this both implies that various values must be the same when they need not be and means that we have to go find the define to fine out what they are set to. Just setting the strings directly tends to end up more readable.

Sure, we can do that. (There are a bunch of IIO-drivers doing this, so I just thought that was the "convention".)

Perhaps these can be represented as masks using GENMASK() rather than bits. A lot of this will be hidden away if you follow suggesting to only expose that you are using a bitmap to bitbang in the read/write functions.

Yes, that would be the natural thing to do when moving the bitmap stuff to the read/write functions (as answered below).

Rename regmap. regmap means some specific stuff in the kernel register_bm or something like that avoids that potential confusion.

However, it would be much easier to read this driver if only this function and the read one knew about the bitmap stuff. Inside the reset of the driver just store and pass around a structure with the various fields. Then in here use that to build up the bitmap locally and write to the device. The opposite in read which decodes the bitmap into those fields.

That will make for a more standard and easier to review driver.

Hm, maybe it would be easier to understand it if we remove the bitmap from struct d3323aa_data and instead only store the relevant state variables. We still would need to have the regmap_lock but to instead protect all of the variables.

Let's go for that then! I actually don't have any strong arguments (or opinions) against it.

Why not use a larger bitmap with padding for this end pattern and just write this into that? At which point this can all be one loop.

Ideally I'd like a setup where we can wire the interrupt side of this to one pin and the gpio needed for writing to another. In practice they may well be the same pin but that does introduced a bunch of races and dependency on what the interrupt controller does when an irq is disabled.

Quoted 2 lines

Using one pin as an irq and as a data line is prone to some nasty corner cases though it works on some SoCs.

Hm, that's an interesting idea. However, as you say there might then be other issues to take care of.

On the other hand, the scope of the clock bit bang is quite small (only in *read/write_settings()). So I guess we just leave it then?

Can you keep to a single handler with a check on device state? This dance with releasing and requesting irqs is rather complex when all you need to know is what the irq means and that is state the driver knows.

We can do that. Ironically, I opted for separating them just for the sake of simplicity, and thought it would be easier to understand this way :)

So this is an ordering mess. You should never mix devm handling and non devm handling - once something happens in probe that is non devm you stop using devm_* from that point on.

The irq handling in here is complex, but not on fast paths. As such I'd do devm_irq_request() and if you need to free it do so with devm_free_irq() in the places where you immediately re request it. However see above. That should allow you to to drop this remove callabck.

Yes, we'll merge the IRQ handlers into one and thus we'll drop this altogether.

static const struct of_device_id d3323aa_of_match[] = {
	{ .compatible = "nicera,d3323aa", },
	{ }
};

If that's more according to the style (I was relying on clang-format here).

Sure, we can do that. (There are a bunch of IIO-drivers doing this, so I just thought that was the "convention".)

Rename regmap. regmap means some specific stuff in the kernel register_bm or something like that avoids that potential confusion.

Quoted 7 lines

However, it would be much easier to read this driver if only this function and the read one knew about the bitmap stuff. Inside the reset of the driver just store and pass around a structure with the various fields. Then in here use that to build up the bitmap locally and write to the device. The opposite in read which decodes the bitmap into those fields.

That will make for a more standard and easier to review driver.

Quoted 7 lines

Hm, maybe it would be easier to understand it if we remove the bitmap from struct d3323aa_data and instead only store the relevant state variables. We still would need to have the regmap_lock but to instead protect all of the variables.

Let's go for that then! I actually don't have any strong arguments (or opinions) against it.

Just don't use the term regmap and that all sounds fine as it won't cause confusion against the stuff in drivers/base/regmap/

Ideally I'd like a setup where we can wire the interrupt side of this to one pin and the gpio needed for writing to another. In practice they may well be the same pin but that does introduced a bunch of races and dependency on what the interrupt controller does when an irq is disabled.

Quoted 8 lines
Quoted 2 lines

Using one pin as an irq and as a data line is prone to some nasty corner cases though it works on some SoCs.

Hm, that's an interesting idea. However, as you say there might then be other issues to take care of.

On the other hand, the scope of the clock bit bang is quite small (only in *read/write_settings()). So I guess we just leave it then?

I'd give a very high chance that if the driver sees much use you will get bug reports as we've seen for ADCs that do similar multiple uses of the same line (one of which is as an interrupt).

Here we will probably just see spurious interrupts which will be mostly harmless. So fine as it stands.

I think if you use it in multiple places, it should definitively be a macro definition. I just sent some patches for those that only used it once (I didn't include those with KBUILD_MODNAME. We can discuss if we should also address those in that thread).

However, there are a bunch of drivers that _only_ use a macro definition in .name and indio_dev->name, including this one. That _is_ more than one place, so we should actually leave it? Or do you still think we should have the same string literal in both places, as you originally commented above?

I would disagree slightly. If it is used in multiple places because there is some inherent reason they should have same string then I absolutely agree. If it's just because it's a convenient string that is used twice in places that could have had different string then not so much.

I'd prefer that for new code, but it is a less clear cut case than the ones you have tidied up, so not worth the churn of tidying up unless people are otherwise working on the relevant drivers.

Absolutely! If two places can end up with different strings, then they shouldn't share the same variable in the first place. I was not as clear as you with my one-sentence :)

Perhaps these can be represented as masks using GENMASK() rather than bits. A lot of this will be hidden away if you follow suggesting to only expose that you are using a bitmap to bitbang in the read/write functions.

Quoted 2 lines

Yes, that would be the natural thing to do when moving the bitmap stuff to the read/write functions (as answered below).

Since bitmap_write() needs an offset (and size), I didn't use GENMASK() in v2 and thought it would be more clear this way. I'm still open for suggestions though.

Nicera D3-323-AA is a PIR sensor for human detection. It has support for raw data measurements and detection notification. The communication protocol is custom made and therefore needs to be GPIO bit banged.

Previously, there has been an attempt to add a driver for this device [1]. However, that driver was written for the wrong sub-system. hwmon

So that's a v2. Mark your patches correctly.

Quoted 10 lines

is clearly not a suitable framework for a proximity device.

In this series, we add a driver for support for event notification for detections through IIO (the more appropriate sub-system!). The various settings have been mapped to existing sysfs ABIs in the IIO framework.

The public datasheet [2] is quite sparse. A more detailed version can be obtained through the company.

I figured that since it was a complete rewrite (and from another author), I'd start a new series. But I also understand your point.

To not confuse others, I'll mark the next one as V2 instead (if that's fine with you).
