I think it should be ok in functional terms, but I don't like the rationale and also doubt the change is really needed.

If the pull is removed to match the Bluetooth module, then that sounds as if the signal was floating on the the BT side, which I think is not the case. Yes, according to the datasheet there is no pull when the BT controller is active, but then it drives the signal actively to either high or low. There seems to be no merit in 'matching' the Bluetooth side in this case, if the signal was really floating on the BT side we would definitely not want this.

What are these conflicting pull states?

The WCN3998 datasheet has a pull-down on RTS (WCN3998 side) in reset and boot mode, and no pull in active mode. In reset and boot mode the host config with a pull down would match, and no pull in active mode doesn't conflict with the pull-down on the host UART. My understanding is that the pinconf pulls are weak pulls, so as soon as the BT chip drives its RTS the pull on the host side shouldn't matter.

Is this change actually related with wakeup support? I have the impression that multiple things are conflated in this patch. If some of the changes are just fixing/improving other things they should be in a separate patch, which could be part of this series, otherwise it's really hard to distinguish between the pieces that are actually relevant for wakeup and the rest.

Independently of whether the changes are done in a single or multiple patches, the commit log should include details on why the changes are necessary, especially when there are not explantatory comments in the DT/code itself (e.g. the removal of 'output-high', which seems correct to me, but no reason is given why it is done).

I'm a bit at a loss here, about two things:

RTS is an output pin controlled by the UART. IIUC if the UART port is active and hardware flow control is enabled the RTS signal is either driven to high or low, but not floating.

Now lets assume I'm wrong with the above and RTS can be floating. We only want the BT SoC to send data when the host UART is ready to receive them, right? RTS is an active low signal, hence by configuring it as a pull-down the BT SoC can send data regardless of whether the host UART actually asserts RTS, so the host UART may not be ready to receive it. I would argue that if there is really such a thing as a floating RTS signal then it should have a pull-up, to prevent the BT SoC from sending data at any time.

I'm not an expert in UART communication and pinconf, so it could be that I got something wrong, but as of now it seems to me that no pull is the correct config for RTS.

I don't know all the details, but I have the impression that this is the relevant pull change for wakeup. From the title of the series I derive that the UART RX pin is used for signalling wakeup. A pull-down on RTS indicates the BT controller that it can always send data to wake up the host.

I think RTS in default mode should remain with no-pull (the UART is driving the signal), and then change it to pull-down in sleep mode.

yes, I agree with you, the pinconf pulls are weak. As this is driven by BT SoC (pull on HOST side shouldn't matter), we are not mentioning any bias configuration from our side and simply putting it as no-pull, just to not conflict in any case. It seems that the rationale mentioned is a bit confusing i will change it to clearly specify why we are configuring no-pull.

As far as I understand the above isn't entirely correct. HW flow control is not disabled when the RX FIFO is full, rather as part of HW flow control the hardware deasserts RTS when the FIFO is full. Software flow control isn't really relevant here, since it doesn't use RTS/CTS but uses transmission of special codes (XON/XOFF) over TX/RX.

just noticed this: in the sleep config all pins are in GPIO config (see "arm64: dts: sc7180: Add wakeup support over UART RX" from this series) and by default they are inputs, hence the drive-strength here is pointless IIUC.

If the pull is removed to match the Bluetooth module, then that sounds as
if the signal was floating on the the BT side, which I think is not the case.
Yes, according to the datasheet there is no pull when the BT controller is
active, but then it drives the signal actively to either high or low. There
seems to be no merit in 'matching' the Bluetooth side in this case, if the
signal was really floating on the BT side we would definitely not want this.

What are these conflicting pull states?

The WCN3998 datasheet has a pull-down on RTS (WCN3998 side) in reset and boot mode, and no pull in active mode. In reset and boot mode the host config with a pull down would match, and no pull in active mode doesn't conflict with the pull-down on the host UART. My understanding is that the pinconf pulls are weak pulls, so as soon as the BT chip drives its RTS the pull on the host side shouldn't matter.

yes, I agree with you, the pinconf pulls are weak. As this is driven by BT
SoC (pull on HOST side shouldn't matter), we are not mentioning any bias
configuration from our side and simply putting it as no-pull, just to not
conflict in any case. It seems that the rationale mentioned is a bit confusing i will change it to clearly specify why we are configuring no-pull.

I'm a bit at a loss here, about two things:

RTS is an output pin controlled by the UART. IIUC if the UART port is active
and hardware flow control is enabled the RTS signal is either driven to high
or low, but not floating.

Quoted 7 lines

Yes, RTS is either driven high or low. HW flow control is always enabled and
only turned off when RX FIFO is full. Whereas SW flow control is controlled
by upper layers(serial core), also it can be enabled/disabled from host by
calling set_mctrl.

Quoted 8 lines

As far as I understand the above isn't entirely correct. HW flow control is not
disabled when the RX FIFO is full, rather as part of HW flow control the hardware deasserts RTS when the FIFO is full. Software flow control isn't really
relevant here, since it doesn't use RTS/CTS but uses transmission of special
codes (XON/XOFF) over TX/RX.

Here by Software flow control i meant, we can control the flow from SW(explained below).

I don't know all the details, but I have the impression that this is the relevant pull change for wakeup. From the title of the series I derive that the UART RX pin is used for signalling wakeup. A pull-down on RTS indicates the BT controller that it can always send data to wake up the host.

1. By default our HW flow is enabled(since we are configuring pull-down on RTS),and BT SoC can send data anytime.
2. But there is a SW mechanism where we can control the flow from software. In that case what ever is configured to UART_MANUAL_RFR(READY or NOT_READY) will override the dtsi pinconf pull and the RTS/RFR line is pulled high when HOST is not ready(while debugging the wake up issue we came across this).

So, as far as i understand, even if pull-down is configured on RTS, BT SoC can send data only when HOST is ready.
Can you please let me know which case you mean here, when you say "by configuring it as a pull-down the BT SoC can send data regardless of whether the host UART actually asserts RTS". Is there any case which we are missing here?

This is generally correct while the system is running, but (with the current pinconf) not when the system is suspended IIUC. When the system is in suspend the function of the UART pins is changed to GPIO, hence the UART ceases to control RTS.

Otherwise how do you explain that wakeup stops working when you configure a pull-up instead of a pull-down? According to your comment the UART should be driving the RTS depending on its readyness.

yes, I agree with you, the pinconf pulls are weak. As this is driven by BT
SoC (pull on HOST side shouldn't matter), we are not mentioning any bias
configuration from our side and simply putting it as no-pull, just to not
conflict in any case. It seems that the rationale mentioned is a bit confusing i will change it to clearly specify why we are configuring no-pull.

Is this change actually related with wakeup support? I have the impression
that multiple things are conflated in this patch. If some of the changes are just fixing/improving other things they should be in a separate patch,
which could be part of this series, otherwise it's really hard to distinguish between the pieces that are actually relevant for wakeup and the rest.

Independently of whether the changes are done in a single or multiple patches, the commit log should include details on why the changes are necessary, especially when there are not explantatory comments in the DT/code itself (e.g. the removal of 'output-high', which seems correct to me, but no reason is given why it is done).

This change is not related to wakeup support, I will make it a separate

I'm a bit at a loss here, about two things:

RTS is an output pin controlled by the UART. IIUC if the UART port is active
and hardware flow control is enabled the RTS signal is either driven to high
or low, but not floating.

Quoted 7 lines

Yes, RTS is either driven high or low. HW flow control is always enabled and
only turned off when RX FIFO is full. Whereas SW flow control is controlled
by upper layers(serial core), also it can be enabled/disabled from host by
calling set_mctrl.

As far as I understand the above isn't entirely correct. HW flow control is not
disabled when the RX FIFO is full, rather as part of HW flow control the hardware deasserts RTS when the FIFO is full. Software flow control isn't really
relevant here, since it doesn't use RTS/CTS but uses transmission of special
codes (XON/XOFF) over TX/RX.

Now lets assume I'm wrong with the above and RTS can be floating. We only want

RTS is an active low signal, hence by configuring it as a pull-down the BT
SoC can send data regardless of whether the host UART actually asserts RTS,
so the host UART may not be ready to receive it. I would argue that if there
is really such a thing as a floating RTS signal then it should have a pull-up,
to prevent the BT SoC from sending data at any time.

I'm not an expert in UART communication and pinconf, so it could be that I
got something wrong, but as of now it seems to me that no pull is the correct
config for RTS.

I don't know all the details, but I have the impression that this is the relevant pull change for wakeup. From the title of the series I derive that the UART RX pin is used for signalling wakeup. A pull-down on RTS indicates the BT controller that it can always send data to wake up the host.

Quoted 8 lines

Quoted 5 lines

I think RTS in default mode should remain with no-pull (the UART is driving
the signal), and then change it to pull-down in sleep mode.

As I understand from your previous comment, pinconf pulls are weak and cannot override the pull of controller.

I'm not sure this is an absolute truth. I think there may be cases where the driver has to increase its drive strength..

Quoted 6 lines

Although pull down is configured,
data will be received only if host controller is ready to accept it. So, we
want to put RTS in pull-down state(known state) instead of leaving it in
ambiguous state i.e, no-pull(high/low).

Quoted 10 lines

I disgress. I'm pretty sure that you want RTS to be low to make sure that
the BT SoC can wake up the system by sending whatever data it has to send.
It won't do that if RTS is high (e.g. because that's its floating state at that time). I just tried configuring a pull-up (also a known non-ambiguous state), and Bluetooth wakeup doesn't work with that, supposedly because the BT SoC/UART will wait for its CTS signal to be low.

yes, you are right, we are keeping RTS low to make sure that BT SoC can
wakeup the system by sending bytes.

1. By default our HW flow is enabled(since we are configuring pull-down on
RTS),and BT SoC can send data anytime.
2. But there is a SW mechanism where we can control the flow from software.
In that case what ever is configured to UART_MANUAL_RFR(READY or NOT_READY)
will override the dtsi pinconf pull and the RTS/RFR line is pulled high when
HOST is not ready(while debugging the wake up issue we came across this).

This is generally correct while the system is running, but (with the current
pinconf) not when the system is suspended IIUC. When the system is in suspend
the function of the UART pins is changed to GPIO, hence the UART ceases to
control RTS.

Quoted 6 lines

Otherwise how do you explain that wakeup stops working when you configure
a pull-up instead of a pull-down? According to your comment the UART should
be driving the RTS depending on its readyness.

I think it should be ok in functional terms, but I don't like the rationale
and also doubt the change is really needed.

If the pull is removed to match the Bluetooth module, then that sounds as
if the signal was floating on the the BT side, which I think is not the case.
Yes, according to the datasheet there is no pull when the BT controller is
active, but then it drives the signal actively to either high or low. There
seems to be no merit in 'matching' the Bluetooth side in this case, if the
signal was really floating on the BT side we would definitely not want this.

Recently on cherokee we worked with BT team and came to an agreement to

What are these conflicting pull states?

The WCN3998 datasheet has a pull-down on RTS (WCN3998 side) in reset and boot mode, and no pull in active mode.

Keeping the pull-down in active mode should do no harm, but why do it if it isn't needed? I think it is better to specify what is required and have comments explaining the rationale, since there are some nitty gritty details that may not be obvious at first as we have seen. In this sense I think it's better to have a comment like "We drive RTS, so no pull", rather than "Configure a pull-down on RTS to put the pin in a defined state / match sleep config" or similar.

If there's a good reason to have a pull I'm totally open to configure it, but so far I haven't seen a convincing argument for it.
