PATCH 1/1 OMAP: add pwm driver using dmtimers.

This patch is based on an earlier patch by Grant Erickson which provided pwm devices using the 'legacy' interface.

This driver instead uses the new framework interface.

This patch is based on an earlier patch by Grant Erickson which provided pwm devices using the 'legacy' interface.

This driver instead uses the new framework interface.

I'd prefer some kind of description about the driver here. Also the subject should be something like:

pwm: Add OMAP support using dual-mode timers

or

pwm: omap: Add PWM support using dual-mode timers

I take this description to mean that OMAP doesn't have dedicated PWM hardware? Otherwise it might be bad to call this pwm-omap.

Also please use all-caps when referring to PWM devices in prose. A few other comments inline below.

I don't know if this is such a good idea. Usually you number platform devices sequentially, while this would leave gaps in the numbering. I know that adding platform data may sound a bit like overkill, but I really think the added clarity and consistency is worth it.

So omap_dm_timer_disable() doesn't actually stop the timer? It just disables the access to the registers?

I understand that these extra variables are supposed to "document" the parameters of the functions below. I'm not a huge fan of this approach because instead the API would better be designed to make it obvious what the parameters are. Or people can just look at the prototypes to find out the meaning. But if you really prefer this way I won't object.

This doesn't either. Also you should be explicit about the polarity parameter, since enum pwm_polarity is an enum and therefore negating it isn't very nice (it should work though).

You could solve this by doing something like:

	if (omap->polarity == PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL)
		polarity = 1;
	else
		polarity = 0;

This doesn't look right. You should implement .resume() if you really care, in which case the resume callback would have to reconfigure with the cached values. In that case maybe you should switch to dev_pm_ops and SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS() as well.

If you don't, just resetting these values will not make the PWM work properly after resume either since it will have to be explicitly reconfigured.

This should probably be module_init() instead. You already return -EPROBE_DEFER if the dual-mode timer isn't ready yet so you should bite the bullet and get all the dependencies to behave properly as well. New code shouldn't be using this kind of dependency handling.

In that case you could also just run module_platform_driver().

So omap_dm_timer_disable() doesn't actually stop the timer? It just disables the access to the registers?

I thought this looked odd too ;-)

So what is going on here is that omap_dm_timer_start() calls omap_dm_timer_enable() but does not call omap_dm_timer_disable(). So the last disable really just complements the first enable (ie. decrements the use count), but the timer will not actually be disabled, because the start has called an extra enable.

These four function calls can be replaced by one call to omap_dm_timer_set_load_start() and I think that will be much clearer and concise.

In general, it should not be necessary to call these omap_dm_timer_enable/disable APIs directly. I am not sure what the history is or if there is a use-case that really requires this. So in the future may be I should make them static so they cannot be used directly :-)

Cheers
Jon

So the last disable really just complements the first enable (ie. decrements the use count), but the timer will not actually be disabled, because the start has called an extra enable.

Quoted 3 lines

These four function calls can be replaced by one call to omap_dm_timer_set_load_start() and I think that will be much clearer and concise.

So it now reads:

	/*
	 * Set the timer to its minimum load value to ensure we get an
	 * overflow event right away once we start it.
	 */

	omap_dm_timer_set_load_start(omap->dm_timer, true, DM_TIMER_LOAD_MIN);

Certainly more concise - thanks.

Quoted 6 lines

In general, it should not be necessary to call these omap_dm_timer_enable/disable APIs directly. I am not sure what the history is or if there is a use-case that really requires this. So in the future may be I should make them static so they cannot be used directly :-)

I've removed the other instance of these calls - in omap_pwm_config.

Thanks,

This patch is based on an earlier patch by Grant Erickson which provided pwm devices using the 'legacy' interface.

This driver instead uses the new framework interface.

I'd prefer some kind of description about the driver here.

I'm not really sure what more there is to say. There was a bit of text in a comment at the top of the file which I've copied to the commit comment.

Quoted 8 lines

Also the
subject should be something like:

pwm: Add OMAP support using dual-mode timers

or

pwm: omap: Add PWM support using dual-mode timers

Done - I chose the second.

Quoted 3 lines

I take this description to mean that OMAP doesn't have dedicated PWM hardware? Otherwise it might be bad to call this pwm-omap.

Correct. The timers can be used for a number of things which explicitly includes PWM.

Also please use all-caps when referring to PWM devices in prose. A few other comments inline below.

I don't know if this is such a good idea. Usually you number platform devices sequentially, while this would leave gaps in the numbering. I know that adding platform data may sound a bit like overkill, but I really think the added clarity and consistency is worth it.

I guess so. No other PWM driver seems to use platform data, and I needed so little...
I'll see what I can do.

I understand that these extra variables are supposed to "document" the parameters of the functions below. I'm not a huge fan of this approach because instead the API would better be designed to make it obvious what the parameters are. Or people can just look at the prototypes to find out the meaning. But if you really prefer this way I won't object.

I've removed the 'trigger' const as the name is self-descriptive. I might leave the others.

This doesn't either. Also you should be explicit about the polarity parameter, since enum pwm_polarity is an enum and therefore negating it isn't very nice (it should work though).

You could solve this by doing something like:

	if (omap->polarity == PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL)
		polarity = 1;
	else
		polarity = 0;

(omap->polarity == PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL)

would have the same effect.

This doesn't look right. You should implement .resume() if you really care, in which case the resume callback would have to reconfigure with the cached values. In that case maybe you should switch to dev_pm_ops and SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS() as well.

Quoted 3 lines

If you don't, just resetting these values will not make the PWM work properly after resume either since it will have to be explicitly reconfigured.

I just copied that from pwm-samsung.c

I think the point is to avoid the "no transients" short-circuit in omap_pwm_config if the config is unchanged.

The assumption is that pwm_disable() will be called before suspend and pwm_config()/pwm_enable() after resume. So there is no point actually configuring anything in .resume() - it makes sense to wait until pwm_config() is called (if ever). But we want to make sure that pwm_config actually does something.

But yes, I should change to dev_pm_ops.

This should probably be module_init() instead. You already return -EPROBE_DEFER if the dual-mode timer isn't ready yet so you should bite the bullet and get all the dependencies to behave properly as well. New code shouldn't be using this kind of dependency handling.

In that case you could also just run module_platform_driver().

I guess the answer to that question is: it depends. If the user can set the polarity (via platform or other means), then yes, you don't have to pass it in here. However there may be users that don't support setting the polarity or there may even be situations where the PWM goes through an additional inverter on the board and therefore doesn't need the polarity inversed after all, even if the user driver requests it.

Generally though I think that it is up to the user drivers to take care of this and call pwm_set_polarity() as appropriate, so yes, I don't think you have to explicitly pass it via platform data at all.

Note to self: this might be a candidate to put in the core.

might be useful, though the core doesn't currently "know" the current values.

Yes, but that can be changed. PWM is still a very young subsystem and I'm trying to be cautious not to add too much cruft to it unless it's really worth it.

This doesn't either. Also you should be explicit about the polarity parameter, since enum pwm_polarity is an enum and therefore negating it isn't very nice (it should work though).

You could solve this by doing something like:

Quoted 4 lines
	if (omap->polarity == PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL)
		polarity = 1;
	else
		polarity = 0;

(omap->polarity == PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL)

would have the same effect.

Yes, that should work as well. However I'm not a friend of using such expressions in a function call. But since you'll probably be reworking this anyway because of the pwm_set_polarity() comments from above you might just want to stick the proper value into omap->polarity in your .set_polarity() implementation and not need the extra negation here.

No more __devinit, please.

If you say so (having no idea what it did :-)

This was used to mark functions depending on whether HOTPLUG was enabled or not. For instance functions marked __devinit could be discarded after the init stage if HOTPLUG was disabled because it would be guaranteed to not be called after the init stage. Recently however HOTPLUG was changed to be always enabled because the gains were very small and most people would get them wrong anyway.

This doesn't look right. You should implement .resume() if you really care, in which case the resume callback would have to reconfigure with the cached values. In that case maybe you should switch to dev_pm_ops and SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS() as well.

Quoted 3 lines

If you don't, just resetting these values will not make the PWM work properly after resume either since it will have to be explicitly reconfigured.

I just copied that from pwm-samsung.c

Quoted 8 lines

I think the point is to avoid the "no transients" short-circuit in omap_pwm_config if the config is unchanged.

The assumption is that pwm_disable() will be called before suspend and pwm_config()/pwm_enable() after resume. So there is no point actually configuring anything in .resume() - it makes sense to wait until pwm_config() is called (if ever). But we want to make sure that pwm_config actually does something.

Okay, that makes sense. User drivers should actually be better suited to reset PWM devices to their proper state on resume.

This patch is based on an earlier patch by Grant Erickson which provided pwm devices using the 'legacy' interface.

This driver instead uses the new framework interface.

Hmmm, looks like you are trying to force a reconfiguration after suspend if the same values are used. Is there an underlying problem here that you are trying to workaround?

Do you need to call omap_dm_timer_enable here? _set_load and _set_match will enable the timer. So this should not be necessary.

I would recommend that you use omap_dm_timer_request_by_cap() (new for v3.8 so you should be able to use once v3.8-rc1 is out) here to request a timer that supports the PWM output. The above function will not be supported when booting with device-tree.

I wasn't planning on rushing into working on 3.8-rcX so I'd rather not do this now.
Would you object to the patch being submitted with the current call, then an update when I do move on to 3.8?

However.... I may be misunderstanding something, but I want a timer to drive a particular output pin - GPIO-57. And I thought that it could only be driver by GPT11. So I need to explicitly request number 11 don't I?

Hmmm, looks like you are trying to force a reconfiguration after suspend if the same values are used. Is there an underlying problem here that you are trying to workaround?

I copied that from pwm-samsung.c.

The key question is: does a dmtimer preserve all register values over suspend. If so, then I guess we don't need this.
If not, we do (because omap_pwm_config short circuits if it thinks the config hasn't changed).

Maybe I should test and see - though as my backlight always blanks before suspend that might not be straight forward...

Typically, omap_dm_timer_write_counter() is used to update the counter value while the counter is running and hence is enabled.

Looking at the code, some more I now see what they are trying to do. It seems that they are trying to force an overflow to occur as soon as they enable the timer. This will cause the timer to load the count value from the timer load register into the timer counter register. So that does make sense to me. However, this should not be necessary as omap_dm_timer_set_load should do this for you. Therefore, I think that you could accomplish the same thing by doing ...

omap_pwm_config

	--> omap_dm_timer_set_load()
	--> omap_dm_timer_set_match()
	--> omap_dm_timer_set_pwm()

omap_pwm_enable

	--> omap_dm_timer_start()

If we call _set_load in config then we don't need to call _load_start in the enable, we can just call _start.

Can you try this and see if this is working ok?

Cheers
Jon

Seems to work, and is much neater. Thanks.

Below is my current patch.
Unresolved issues are:
- it uses
omap_dm_timer_request_specific()
which apparently isn't ideal.
- It still zeros things in the suspend routine. I haven't explored this at all yet

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] pwm: omap: Add PWM support using dual-mode timers

This patch is based on an earlier patch by Grant Erickson which provided PWM devices using the 'legacy' interface.

This driver instead uses the new framework interface.

Platform data must be provided to identify which dmtimer to use.

Lots of cleanup and inprovements thanks to Thierry Reding and Jon Hunter.

Thierry: should pwm_put do that, or do I need a 'free' function in my chip ops to do that?

To be honest, I haven't decided yet. =) There have been discussions that resulted in a request to run pwm_disable() from pwmchip_remove() on all PWM devices a chip provides.

This isn't implemented yet and I'm not sure about all the side-effects. I think for now the best way would be to implement .free() within this driver, or even do an explicit pwm_disable() in the driver's .remove() function to do this. When I've come to a decision I'll refactor all of that in one patch across the whole subsystem.

This is going to be a problem for the single zImage work, because we cannot include any plat headers in driver code any more. Therefore, although it is not ideal, one way to handle this is pass function pointers to the various dmtimer APIs that are needed via the platform data. Painful I know ...

But that doesn't work with devicetree does it?

Ugh, you are right! This is becoming an increasing problem.

Can't we move the dmtimer.h file to include/linux/omap-dmtimer.h or something?

Do you need to call omap_dm_timer_enable here? _set_load and _set_match will enable the timer. So this should not be necessary.

I wasn't planning on rushing into working on 3.8-rcX so I'd rather not do this now.

However.... I may be misunderstanding something, but I want a timer to drive a particular output pin - GPIO-57. And I thought that it could only be driver by GPT11. So I need to explicitly request number 11 don't I?

Hmmm, looks like you are trying to force a reconfiguration after suspend if the same values are used. Is there an underlying problem here that you are trying to workaround?

I copied that from pwm-samsung.c.

The key question is: does a dmtimer preserve all register values over suspend. If so, then I guess we don't need this.
If not, we do (because omap_pwm_config short circuits if it thinks the config hasn't changed).

I gave it a quick test on omap3/4 when just operating the timer as a counter (not driving a pwm output) and suspend/resume works fine. However, it does not work if I enable off mode (via the debugfs). This is not enabled by default and may be I should put that on my to-do list as well.

Maybe I should test and see - though as my backlight always blanks before suspend that might not be straight forward...

Yes it would be great if you can test too. I have been finding that certain features of the timer are not that well tested.

I can ask Tony if he thinks we could do that.

Yeah we need to fix this somehow. First we need to limit that header to the minimum and have most of it in a local header file for the clocksource and clockevent. Then let's move the minimal header to include/linux/omap-dmtimer.h until we have something Linux generic available for doing things like this.

Subject: [PATCH] OMAP dmtimer - simplify context-loss handling.

The context loss handling in dmtimer appears to assume that
omap_dm_timer_set_load_start() or omap_dm_timer_start()
and
omap_dm_timer_stop()

bracket all interactions. Only the first two restore the context and the last updates the context loss counter.
However omap_dm_timer_set_load() or omap_dm_timer_set_match() can reasonably be called outside this bracketing, and the fact that they call omap_dm_timer_enable() / omap_dm_timer_disable() suggest that is expected.

So if, after a transition into and out of off-mode which would cause the dm timer to loose all state, omap_dm_timer_set_match() is called before omap_dm_timer_start(), the value read from OMAP_TIMER_CTRL_REG will be 'wrong' and this wrong value will be stored context.tclr so a subsequent omap_dm_timer_start() can fail (As the control register is wrong).

Simplify this be doing the restore-from-context in omap_dm_timer_enable() so that whenever the timer is enabled, the context is correct.
Also update the ctx_loss_count at the same time as we notice it is wrong - these is no value in delaying this until the omap_dm_timer_disable() as it cannot change while the timer is enabled.

I would recommend that you use omap_dm_timer_request_by_cap() (new for v3.8 so you should be able to use once v3.8-rc1 is out) here to request a timer that supports the PWM output. The above function will not be supported when booting with device-tree.

I wasn't planning on rushing into working on 3.8-rcX so I'd rather not do this now.
Would you object to the patch being submitted with the current call, then an update when I do move on to 3.8?

However.... I may be misunderstanding something, but I want a timer to drive a particular output pin - GPIO-57. And I thought that it could only be driver by GPT11. So I need to explicitly request number 11 don't I?

Yes I believe it needs to tied to a specific GPT instance to have access to the pin. We should not export omap_dm_timer_request_specific(), that information should become from platform_data and device tree.
