PATCH 1/1 staging: allow omap4iss to be modular

The OMAP4 camera support depends on I2C and VIDEO_V4L2, both of which can be loadable modules. This causes build failures if we want the camera driver to be built-in.

This can be solved by turning the option into "tristate", which unfortunately causes another problem, because the driver incorrectly calls a platform-internal interface for omap4_ctrl_pad_readl/omap4_ctrl_pad_writel. To work around that, we can export those symbols, but that isn't really the correct solution, as we should not have dependencies on platform code this way.

---
This is one of just two patches we currently need to get 'make allmodconfig' to build again on ARM.

I am ok with this if Tony and Laurent have no issues. Considering that Laurent was working on coverting iss driver to dt, the detailed discussion could take place at that point in time.

To clarify, I was talking about second version of the patch, not the original one. It just does this:

which enforces that configurations that cannot be compiled will not be selectable in Kconfig, so we can have allmodconfig working. I thought that was ok for -stable.

The OMAP4 camera support depends on I2C and VIDEO_V4L2, both of which can be loadable modules. This causes build failures if we want the camera driver to be built-in.

This can be solved by turning the option into "tristate", which unfortunately causes another problem, because the driver incorrectly calls a platform-internal interface for omap4_ctrl_pad_readl/omap4_ctrl_pad_writel.

Instead, this patch just forbids the invalid configurations and ensures that the driver can only be built if all its dependencies are built-in.

I'd actually like to see it in 3.15 as a stable backport if possible,

It's not stable material, sorry.

To clarify, I was talking about second version of the patch, not the original one. It just does this:

which enforces that configurations that cannot be compiled will not be selectable in Kconfig, so we can have allmodconfig working. I thought that was ok for -stable.

but definitely in 3.16. What is the normal path for staging/media but fix patches?

Through Mauro's tree.

Ok.

I've applied the patch to my tree and will send a pull request to Mauro for v3.16 as soon as you reach an agreement with Greg on whether I should add CC:
stable or not.

That's good news, but let's not fix it this way.

This can be solved by turning the option into "tristate", which unfortunately causes another problem, because the driver incorrectly calls a platform-internal interface for omap4_ctrl_pad_readl/omap4_ctrl_pad_writel. To work around that, we can export those symbols, but that isn't really the correct solution, as we should not have dependencies on platform code this way.

This is one of just two patches we currently need to get 'make allmodconfig' to build again on ARM.

Exporting these will likely cause immediate misuse in other drivers all over the place.

These should just use either pinctrl-single.c instead for muxing. Or if they are not mux registers, we do have the syscon mapping available in omap4.dtsi that pbias-regulator.c is already using.

Laurent, got any better ideas?

The ISS driver needs to write a single register, which contains several independent fields. They thus need to be controlled by a single driver. Some of them might be considered to be related to pinmuxing (although I disagree on that), others are certainly not about muxing (there are clock gate bits for instance).

Using the syscon mapping seems like the best option. I'll give it a try.

OK if it's not strictly pinctrl related then let's not use pinctrl-single,bits for it. You may be able to implement one or more framework drivers for it for pinctrl/regulator/clock/transceiver whatever that register is doing.

In any case it's best to have that handling in a separate helper driver somewhere as it's a separate piece of hardware from the camera module. If it does not fit into any existing frameworks then it's best to have it in a separate driver with the camera driver.

The register contains the following fields that control the two CSI2 PHYs (PHY1 and PHY2).

17:16 CAMERARX_CSI21_CAMMODE       PHY1 Mode (CCP2, CSI1, CSI2)

Bits 18 and 21 could be exposed through CCF. Bits 24 to 31 enable/disable the CSI2 lanes, so it could be argued that they could be exposed through the pinctrl framework. However, they need to be configured independently, possibly at runtime. I'm thus not sure pinctrl would be a good idea. Bits 17:16 and 20:19 don't fit in existing frameworks.

Given that this register is specific to the ISS, I think handling it as a separate device through a separate driver would only complicate the implementation without any real benefit.

Even though it's one register, it shoud still be treated separately from the camera driver. The problems with keeping the register access to the control module in the camera driver are at least following:

1. They live in separate hardware modules that can be clocked separately

2. Doing a read-back to flush a posted write in one hardware module most likely won't flush the write to other and that can lead into hard to find mysterious bugs

3. If we ever have a common system control module driver, we need to rewrite all the system control module register tinkering in the drivers

So it's best to try to use an existing framework for it. That avoids tons of pain later on ;)

Section 8.2.3 ("ISS CSI2 PHY") of the OMAP4460 TRM (revision AA) documents the CSI2 PHY is being part of the ISS, with three PHY registers in the ISS register space (not counting the PHY interrupt and status bits in several other ISS registers) and one register in the system control module register space. It's far from clear which power domain(s) is (are) involved.

The PHY has 3 registers in the ISS I/O space and one register in the control module I/O space. I have no idea why they've split it that way. The clock enable bits are especially "interested", the source clock (CAM_PHY_CTRL_FCLK) comes from the ISS as documented in section 8.1.1 ("ISS Integration"), is gated by the control module (the gated clock is called CTRLCLK) and then goes back to the ISS CSI2 PHY (it's mentioned in the CSI2 PHY "REGISTER1" documentation).

Quoted 3 lines

We're already handling similar control module phy cases, see for example drivers/phy/phy-omap-control.c. Maybe you have most of the code already there?

I'm afraid not. For PHYs that are in the system control module that solution is perfectly fine, but the CSI2 PHY isn't (or at least not all of it).

I would be fine with writing a separate PHY driver if the PHY was completely separate. As the documentation doesn't make it clear which part of the hardware belongs to which module, matching the software implementation with an unknown hardware implementation would be pretty difficult :-)

If you have a couple of minutes to spare and can look at the CSI2 PHY documentation in the TRM, you might be more successful than me figuring out how the hardware is implemented.

Actually I don't think that's true. The CSI2 PHY is part of the camera device, with all its registers but the one above in the camera device register space. For some weird reason a couple of bits were pushed to the control module, but that doesn't make the CSI2 PHY itself a separate device.

Yes they are separate. Anything in the system control module is a separate hardware module from the other devices. So in this case the CSI2 PHY is part of the system control module, not the camera module.

Quoted 5 lines

Section 8.2.3 ("ISS CSI2 PHY") of the OMAP4460 TRM (revision AA) documents the CSI2 PHY is being part of the ISS, with three PHY registers in the ISS register space (not counting the PHY interrupt and status bits in several other ISS registers) and one register in the system control module register space. It's far from clear which power domain(s) is (are) involved.

OK I see. The register in the system control module just contains some pin and clock related resources for the phy.

2. Doing a read-back to flush a posted write in one hardware module most likely won't flush the write to other and that can lead into hard to find mysterious bugs

The OMAP4 ISS driver can just read back the CAMERA_RX register, can't it ?

Right, but you would have to do readbacks both from the phy register and camera register to ensure writes get written. It's best to keep the logic completely separate especially considering that they can be clocked separately.

3. If we ever have a common system control module driver, we need to rewrite all the system control module register tinkering in the drivers

Sure, but that's already the case today, as the OMAP4 ISS driver already accesses the control module register directly. I won't make that worse :-)

Well it's in staging for a reason :)

So it's best to try to use an existing framework for it. That avoids tons of pain later on ;)

I agree, but I don't think the PHY framework would be the right abstraction. As explained above the CSI2 PHY is part of the OMAP4 ISS, so modeling its single control module register as a PHY would be a hack.

Well that register belongs to the system control module, not the camera module. It's not like the camera IO space is out of registers or something! :)

The PHY has 3 registers in the ISS I/O space and one register in the control module I/O space. I have no idea why they've split it that way. The clock enable bits are especially "interested", the source clock (CAM_PHY_CTRL_FCLK) comes from the ISS as documented in section 8.1.1 ("ISS Integration"), is gated by the control module (the gated clock is called CTRLCLK) and then goes back to the ISS CSI2 PHY (it's mentioned in the CSI2 PHY "REGISTER1" documentation).

Yeah it seems the phy driver would still have to use the pin resources in the system control module.

Took a look and it seems the phy is split into two parts. So probably using the syscon mapping for the register in scm are is a good start. At least then there's some protection from drivers tinkering directly with the system control modules.

Maybe s ee what drivers/regulator/pbias-regulator.c is doing with
syscon to see if that works? Moving that to some phy driver later on should be trivial if needed :)

And the configuration of the PHY mode (CCP2, CSI1 or CSI2). It really seems like random bits :-)
