PATCH 1/2 drivers: mfd: Add support for Moxtet bus

On the Turris Mox router there can be connected different modules to the main CPU board, currently a module with a SFP cage, a module with MiniPCIe connector, a 4-port switch module and a 8-port switch module, for example:
[CPU]-[PCIe]-[8-port switch]-[8-port switch]-[SFP]

Each of this modules has an input and output shift register, and these are connected via SPI to CPU board.

Via this SPI connection we are able to discover which modules are connected and we can also read/write some configuration to the modules. Fromi/to each module 8 bits can be read (of which lower 4 bits identify the module) and written.

For example from the module with a SFP cage we can read the LOS, TX-FAULT and MOD-DEF0 signals, while we can write TX-DISABLE and RATE-SELECT signals.

Other modules may support something else.

This driver creates a new bus type, called "moxtet". For each Mox module it finds via SPI, it creates a new device on the moxtet bus so that drivers can be written for them, for example a gpio driver for the module with a SFP cage.

The topology of how Mox modules are connected can then be read by listing /sys/bus/moxtet/devices.

+Turris Mox module configuration bus (over SPI)
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible		: Should be "cznic,moxtet".
+ - #address-cells	: Has to be 1
+ - #size-cells		: Has to be 0
+For other required and optional properties of SPI slave
+nodes please refer to ../spi/spi-bus.txt.
+
+Required properties of subnodes:
+ - reg			: Should be position on the Moxtet bus
+ - moxtet,id		: Should be ID of the Moxtet device connected
+
+The driver finds the devices connected to the bus by itself, but it may be
+needed to reference some of them from other parts of the device tree. In that
+case the devices can be defined as subnodes of the moxtet node.
+
+Example:
+
+	moxtet@1 {
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <0>;
+		compatible = "cznic,moxtet";
+		reg = <1>;
+		spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
+		spi-cpol;
+		spi-cpha;
+
+		moxtet_sfp: moxtet-sfp@0 {
+			compatible = "cznic,moxtet-sfp";

PATCH 2/2 drivers: gpio: Add support for GPIOs over Moxtet bus

This adds support for interpreting the input and output bits of one device on Moxtet bus as GPIOs.
This is needed for example by the SFP cage module of Turris Mox.

Hi Marek!

Your DT bindings patch should ideally be in a separate patch and must be sent to [email protected] as well.

Please don't do it like this. Let the consumers decide if they want to use a certain line as input or output.

Enumerate ALL GPIOs from 0 to N and let a consumer pick GPIO x and then decide if it will be used as input or output. Re-enumerating the GPIOs presented from the chip is complicating things by shuffleing around the local offset (HW numbering) space.

For GPIOs that are not usable at all, use the
gpio-reserved-ranges = <> property, see gpio.txt

If you want to indicate that some lines can just be used for input and some can just be used for output and some cannot be used at all, let the .set_direction_output() and .set_direction_input() callbacks fail for these pins with -EINVAL or so.

If these masks cannot be derived from the compatible strings, then create generic bindings to mark lines as input-only or output-only in gpio.txt and use the same syntax as gpio-reserved-ranges, and handle it in the gpiolib just as with gpio-reserved-ranges, not in your local driver.

For example gpio-output-only-ranges and
gpio-input-only-ranges.

But first convince us that you really need that.

This looks convoluted and I think will go away with my suggestion to cut the masks.

Otherwise use primitives such as for_each_set_bit() etc.

So skip this and trust the consumers to ask for the right GPIO and set it up.

PATCH 1/1 Request (Linus Walleij + Lee Jones)

In reply to Marek Behún

Hi Linus and Lee,
these two patches touch two different subsystems (mfd + gpio) and should be applyied one after another (the gpio part is dependant on the mfd part).
The patches are based on mfd-next-4.19. I can send another copy based on gpio/devel.
Could you two, Linus and Lee, work together on applying these patches? I don't know how this is usually solved...
Thanks.

If they need to go into the same merge window this is usually solved by me ACKing the GPIO patches and Lee applying all of it to the MFD tree then providing an immutable git branch to me if I need the same changes in my tree.

On the Turris Mox router there can be connected different modules to the main CPU board, currently a module with a SFP cage, a module with MiniPCIe connector, a 4-port switch module and a 8-port switch module, for example:
[CPU]-[PCIe]-[8-port switch]-[8-port switch]-[SFP]

Each of this modules has an input and output shift register, and these are connected via SPI to CPU board.

Via this SPI connection we are able to discover which modules are connected and we can also read/write some configuration to the modules. Fromi/to each module 8 bits can be read (of which lower 4 bits identify the module) and written.

For example from the module with a SFP cage we can read the LOS, TX-FAULT and MOD-DEF0 signals, while we can write TX-DISABLE and RATE-SELECT signals.

Other modules may support something else.

This driver creates a new bus type, called "moxtet". For each Mox module it finds via SPI, it creates a new device on the moxtet bus so that drivers can be written for them, for example a gpio driver for the module with a SFP cage.

The topology of how Mox modules are connected can then be read by listing /sys/bus/moxtet/devices.

+The driver finds the devices connected to the bus by itself, but it may be
+needed to reference some of them from other parts of the device tree. In that
+case the devices can be defined as subnodes of the moxtet node.
+
+Example:
+
+	moxtet@1 {

Does the device itself have a address, or is it only contactable via SPI?

Alphabetical please.

Right, I can probably save us a both a great deal of time here and tell you right off of the bat that this is not an MFD. MFDs will either use the MFD API or something like of_platform_populate().

Glancing over the reminder of the driver, it looks like an alternative of MFD or at least MFD-like. I think drivers/platform would be a better fit.
