r8a7779 renesas-intc-irqpin IRLM configuration patches

[PATCH 01/02] irqchip: renesas-intc-irqpin: r8a7779 IRLM setup support [PATCH 02/02] ARM: shmobile: marzen-reference: Remove IRLM workaround

These patches extend the INTC-IRQPIN driver with r8a7779 specific register support code that configures "Individual IRQ mode" from the driver instead of workaround in arch/arm/mach-shmobile.

With this in place we are one step closer to get rid of C board code for the r8a7779 SoC.

There are no build dependencies between the two patches, however for correct runtime operation patch 1 needs to be applied before patch 2. I suggest merging patch 1 through the IRQCHIP tree and adding patch 1 to mach-shmobile when the first patch hits -rc1.

Built on top of renesas-devel-20141202-v3.18-rc7 and "[PATCH] ARM: shmobile: r8a7779 CCF DTS update"

PATCH 1/2 irqchip: renesas-intc-irqpin: r8a7779 IRLM setup support

From: Magnus Damm <[email protected]>

Add r8a7779 specific support for IRLM bit configuration in the INTC-IRQPIN driver. Without this code we need special workaround code in arch/arm/mach-shmobile.

The IRLM bit for the INTC hardware exists on various older SH-based SoCs and is used to select between two modes for the external interrupt pins IRQ0 to IRQ3:

IRLM = 0: (default from reset on r8a7779)
In this mode the pins IRQ0 to IRQ3 are used together to give a value between 0 and 15 to the SoC. External logic is required for masking. This mode is not supported by the INTC-IRQPIN driver.

IRLM = 1: (needs this patch or configuration elsewhere) In this mode IRQ0 to IRQ3 operate as 4 individual external interrupt pins. In this mode the SMSC ethernet chip can be used via IRQ1 on r8a7779 Marzen. This mode is the only supported mode by the INTC-IRQPIN driver.

For this patch to work the r8a7779 DTS needs to pass the ICR0 register as the last register bank.

I am unclear about the relationship between this last hunk and the rest of the patch. It seems to be removing the only compat string that is recognised by the driver.

The MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() bits are moved up before the probe() function so it can be used together with of_match_device() to determine if the r8a7779 specific setting should be applied or not. So the last hunk is intentional and needed. The original compat string is still there.

Thanks,

I am unclear about the relationship between this last hunk and the rest of the patch. It seems to be removing the only compat string that is recognised by the driver.

Quoted 5 lines

The MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() bits are moved up before the probe() function so it can be used together with of_match_device() to determine if the r8a7779 specific setting should be applied or not. So the last hunk is intentional and needed. The original compat string is still there.

Thanks, I see it now.

irqchip: renesas-intc-irqpin: r8a7779 IRLM setup support

Add r8a7779 specific support for IRLM bit configuration in the INTC-IRQPIN driver. Without this code we need special workaround code in arch/arm/mach-shmobile.

The IRLM bit for the INTC hardware exists on various older SH-based SoCs and is used to select between two modes for the external interrupt pins IRQ0 to IRQ3:

IRLM = 0: (default from reset on r8a7779)
In this mode the pins IRQ0 to IRQ3 are used together to give a value between 0 and 15 to the SoC. External logic is required for masking. This mode is not supported by the INTC-IRQPIN driver.

IRLM = 1: (needs this patch or configuration elsewhere) In this mode IRQ0 to IRQ3 operate as 4 individual external interrupt pins. In this mode the SMSC ethernet chip can be used via IRQ1 on r8a7779 Marzen. This mode is the only supported mode by the INTC-IRQPIN driver.

For this patch to work the r8a7779 DTS needs to pass the ICR0 register as the last register bank.

Is there any order implied by the above list? Naïvely I would expect it to be sorted numerically.

Yes, the driver assumes the register banks to be passed in a certain order. In the case of r8a7779 we add one more register bank at the end for IRLM setup. Register detail (base address, access size, order and bitfield width) varies with SoC version. So the IRLM register will be at different addresses depending on SoC, but the driver wants it at the end of the list.

Cheers,

So the IRLM register will be at different addresses depending on SoC, but the driver wants it at the end of the list.

As these are all individual registers, and there are that many, I think it's worth adding a reg-names property to identify the registers. Of course the driver still has to support the old anonymous order for backwards compatibility.

Is there any order implied by the above list? Naïvely I would expect it to be sorted numerically.

Yes, the driver assumes the register banks to be passed in a certain order. In the case of r8a7779 we add one more register bank at the end for IRLM setup. Register detail (base address, access size, order and bitfield width) varies with SoC version. So the IRLM register will be at different addresses depending on SoC, but the driver wants it at the end of the list.

Quoted 4 lines

As these are all individual registers, and there are that many, I think it's worth adding a reg-names property to identify the registers. Of course the driver still has to support the old anonymous order for backwards compatibility.

If we should rework things, then I propose going the other way around. =) Basically only passing a single base address with a certain SoC specific compat string, and based on that letting the driver internally figure out which register is at what offset and the access size and bitfield size. Either way we have a limited number of SoCs and they are all old.

Cheers,

That's gonna mean a complete new compatible value. Seems like we shouldn't have added "renesas,intc-irqpin-r8a7779", as the SoC-type was encoded in the reg properties...

So your current patch looks like the best option for now (can you promise future R-Car SoCs won't have an intc-irqpin hardware
block ;-)?

Yeah, having that SoC specific compat string in the DTS does not exactly help us that this point. We could however use a slightly different SoC compat string or something else that is unused if we wanted to change things around.

Hehe, almost. =)

I think I can promise that R-Car hardware won't use that hardware - the IRQC hardware block replaced INTC-IRQPIN in R-Car Gen2 and it will most likely not make a comeback. However, other SoC product lines may show up with old interrupt controllers. But if so we can rework things at that point and make use of a fresh compatible string for a clean start.
