cover OMAP-GPMC generic timing migration

Hi,

This series provides a generic gpmc timing calculation routine. There were three peripherals (OneNAND, tusb6010, smc91x) using custom timing calculations, they are migrated to use the generic timing calculation.

Such a generic routine would help create a driver out of gpmc platform code, which would be peripheral agnostic and thus lead to DT finally. Input to generic timing calculation routine would be gpmc peripheral timings, output - translated timings that gpmc can understand. Later, to DT'ify, gpmc peripheral timings could be passed through DT. Input timings that has been used here are selected such that it represents those that are present in peripheral timing datasheets.

This series has been created by pulling out last 4 patches in v7 of the series,
"OMAP-GPMC: generic time calc, prepare for driver"
This was done to have easy path for common zImage gpmc cleanup patches.

Proposed generic routine has been tested on OneNAND (async) on OMAP3EVM rev C (as mainline does not have the OneNAND support for this, local patch were used to test). For other cases of custom timing calculation (tusb6010, smc91x non-muxed, OneNAND sync), generic timing calculation routine was verified by simulating on OMAP3EVM.

This series is available

        @ git://gitorious.org/x0148406-public/linux-kernel.git gpmc-timing-v1
and is based on
        linux-next (next-20121005)
and is dependent on
	http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=134945131602622&w=2
	http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=134945239306131&w=2

This series as such is only the first version, but these patches has already undergone one change before being made as this series. The change was in using ps instead of ns to prevent rounding errors. Also along with this series documentation has been improved.

Afzal

PATCH 1/4 ARM: OMAP2+: gpmc: generic timing calculation

Presently there are three peripherals that gets it timing by runtime calculation. Those peripherals can work with frequency scaling that affects gpmc clock. But timing calculation for them are in different ways.

Here a generic runtime calculation method is proposed. Input to this function were selected so that they represent timing variables that are present in peripheral datasheets. Motive behind this was to achieve DT bindings for the inputs as is. Even though a few of the tusb6010 timings could not be made directly related to timings normally found on peripherals, expressions used were translated to those that could be justified.

There are possibilities of improving the calculations, like calculating timing for read & write operations in a more similar way. Expressions derived here were tested for async onenand on omap3evm (as vanilla Kernel does not have omap3evm onenand support, local patch was used). Other peripherals, tusb6010, smc91x calculations were validated by simulating on omap3evm.

Regarding "we_on" for onenand async, it was found that even for muxed address/data, it need not be greater than "adv_wr_off", but rather could be derived from write setup time for peripheral from start of access time, hence would more be in line with peripheral timings. With this method it was working fine. If it is required in some cases to have "we_on" same as "wr_data_mux_bus" (i.e. greater than "adv_wr_off"), another variable could be added to indicate it. But such a requirement is not expected though.

It has been observed that "adv_rd_off" & "adv_wr_off" are currently calculated by adding an offset over "oe_on" and "we_on" respectively in the case of smc91x. But peripheral datasheet does not specify so and so "adv_rd(wr)_off" has been derived (to be specific, made ignorant of "oe_on" and "we_on") observing datasheet rather than adding an offset. Hence this generic routine is expected to work for smc91x (91C96 RX51 board). This was verified on smsc911x (9220 on OMAP3EVM) - a similar ethernet controller.

Timings are calculated in ps to prevent rounding errors and converted to ns at final stage so that these values can be directly fed to gpmc_cs_set_timings(). gpmc_cs_set_timings() would be modified to take ps once all custom timing routines are replaced by the generic routine, at the same time generic timing routine would be modified to provide timings in ps. struct gpmc_timings field types are upgraded from u16 => u32 so that it can hold ps values.

Whole of this exercise is being done to achieve driver and DT conversion. If timings could not be calculated in a peripheral agnostic way, either gpmc driver would have to be peripheral gnostic or a wrapper arrangement over gpmc driver would be required.

+GPMC (General Purpose Memory Controller):
+=========================================
+
+GPMC is an unified memory controller dedicated to interfacing external
+memory devices like
+ * Asynchronous SRAM like memories and application specific integrated
+   circuit devices.
+ * Asynchronous, synchronous, and page mode burst NOR flash devices
+   NAND flash
+ * Pseudo-SRAM devices
+
+GPMC is found on Texas Instruments SoC's (OMAP based)
+IP details: http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruh73 section 7.1
+
+
+GPMC generic timing calculation:
+================================
+
+GPMC has certain timings that has to be programmed for proper
+functioning of the peripheral, while peripheral has another set of
+timings. To have peripheral work with gpmc, peripheral timings has to
+be translated to the form gpmc can understand. The way it has to be
+translated depends on the connected peripheral. Also there is a
+dependency for certain gpmc timings on gpmc clock frequency. Hence a
+generic timing routine was developed to achieve above requirements.
+
+Generic routine provides a generic method to calculate gpmc timings
+from gpmc peripheral timings. struct gpmc_device_timings fields has to
+be updated with timings from the datasheet of the peripheral that is
+connected to gpmc. A few of the peripheral timings can be fed either
+in time or in cycles, provision to handle this scenario has been
+provided (refer struct gpmc_device_timings definition). It may so
+happen that timing as specified by peripheral datasheet is not present
+in timing structure, in this scenario, try to correlate peripheral
+timing to the one available. If that doesn't work, try to add a new
+field as required by peripheral, educate generic timing routine to
+handle it, make sure that it does not break any of the existing.
+Then there may be cases where peripheral datasheet doesn't mention
+certain fields of struct gpmc_device_timings, zero those entries.
+
+Generic timing routine has been verified to work properly on
+multiple onenand's and tusb6010 peripherals.
+
+A word of caution: generic timing routine has been developed based
+on understanding of gpmc timings, peripheral timings, available
+custom timing routines, a kind of reverse engineering without
+most of the datasheets & hardware (to be exact none of those supported
+in mainline having custom timing routine) and by simulation.
+
+gpmc timing dependency on peripheral timings:

+
+Note: Many of gpmc timings are dependent on other gpmc timings (a few
+gpmc timings purely dependent on other gpmc timings, a reason that
+some of the gpmc timings are missing above), and it will result in
+indirect dependency of peripheral timings to gpmc timings other than
+mentioned above, refer timing routine for more details. To know what
+these peripheral timings correspond to, please see explanations in

In reply to Afzal Mohammed
Quoted 6 lines · Afzal Mohammed

Proposed generic routine has been tested on OneNAND (async) on OMAP3EVM rev C (as mainline does not have the OneNAND support for this, local patch were used to test). For other cases of custom timing calculation (tusb6010, smc91x non-muxed, OneNAND sync), generic timing calculation routine was verified by simulating on OMAP3EVM.

Have you tested to make sure this works if you change the L3 frequency?

That should probably be tested as a sanity check. Maybe you can force the L3 for some test boots for this, I don't think we scale it by default.

With changed L3 frequency it was not tested.

I do not have a single board that is supported in mainline that calculates on the run gpmc timing from device timing. What has been tested here is OneNAND working in asynchronous mode on omap3evm, but it's support is not available in mainline, so private patch had to be used to test it. All other peripherals were tested by simulation, i.e. by comparing output from existing custom timing routine & generic routine for particular frequencies.

On omap3evm, don't know whether L3 frequency can be changed & still have a working Kernel. I am not sure whether it is worth attempting as OneNAND on omap3evm is not supported in mainline.

cover OMAP-GPMC generic timing migration

In reply to Afzal Mohammed

Hi,

Quoted 11 lines · Afzal Mohammed

This series provides a generic gpmc timing calculation routine. There were three peripherals (OneNAND, tusb6010, smc91x) using custom timing calculations, they are migrated to use the generic timing calculation.

Such a generic routine would help create a driver out of gpmc platform code, which would be peripheral agnostic and thus lead to DT finally. Input to generic timing calculation routine would be gpmc peripheral timings, output - translated timings that gpmc can understand. Later, to DT'ify, gpmc peripheral timings could be passed through DT. Input timings that has been used here are selected such that it represents those that are present in peripheral timing datasheets.

Admittedly, I lost track on the multiple GPMC series here, and they also cause major merge conflicts with Linus' current master branch.

Could you tell me which patches I need on top of soon-to-be-3.7-rc1? I would like to augment this to make GPMC attached NAND probable in DT, in case this is still an open topic.

Thanks for you hard work,
Daniel

This series has been created by pulling out last 4 patches in v7 of the series,
"OMAP-GPMC: generic time calc, prepare for driver"
This was done to have easy path for common zImage gpmc cleanup patches.

Proposed generic routine has been tested on OneNAND (async) on OMAP3EVM rev C (as mainline does not have the OneNAND support for this, local patch were used to test). For other cases of custom timing calculation (tusb6010, smc91x non-muxed, OneNAND sync), generic timing calculation routine was verified by simulating on OMAP3EVM.

This series is available

        @ git://gitorious.org/x0148406-public/linux-kernel.git gpmc-timing-v1
and is based on
        linux-next (next-20121005)
and is dependent on

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=134945239306131&w=2

This series as such is only the first version, but these patches has already undergone one change before being made as this series. The change was in using ps instead of ns to prevent rounding errors. Also along with this series documentation has been improved.

Series [1-2] plus this series would be the required. Note that 1st patch of series [2] has already reached mainline.

Yes, then please do a second pull request for what's needed to apply the minimal DT bindings. For the DT binding, let's just leave out the timings for now as we can load those from auxdata. Then the binding for the timings can be added later on. So just the minimal binding using standard features for the iorange and interrupt.

I certainly don't think it is easier, rather tougher, cleaner as well. One thing that worried me was, if we pursue the auxdata path (a last resort option) and later if it is objected, we would be back to square one.

I commented on auxdata usage without visualising in more detail how it can be implemented, it was bad of me.

I doubt whether auxdata would help here, it seems using compatible field alone would help in deciding relevant custom timing routine. Whether we want this kind of peripheral knowledge in gpmc driver instead of using generic timing routine has to be decided though.

Maybe slightly off-topic, but still:

When GPMC is used for driving NAND chips that comply to CFI, the timings could actually be derived from the connected peripheral as well. I believe a slowest-possible-mode will have to be selected first for the identication phase.

Another thing that might be worth thinking about is that apart from the GPMC host controller and the peripherals, there could be other components like level shifters or series resistors on the board that limit the maximum speed of transactions. So in fact we might be better off storing all that timing details in the DT, as they are in fact highly application specific.

I wish.. Just getting things working to the identification phase requires quite a bit of configuration for the timings.

In case you can help on making gpmc nand dt probable, please proceed. I would be on vacation next week, may be we can discuss after I am back.

am335x based boards like beagle bone should be booting on l-o master and it has gpmc header cleanup changes with minimal driver support.

As I don't have the sufficient time to explain in detail, some pointers. Discussion between us [1] hopefully explains it in brief. It would be like peripherals connected to gpmc being represented as child nodes in dt. gpmc driver probably in probe would have to invoke of_platform_populate to create child nodes (for devices like nand). And driver would have to be enhanced to configure gpmc based on information passed through dt for each child nodes. Or roughly have a dt equivalent of driver as in [2].

One issue would be the memory resource creation by gpmc driver and which has to be provided to client resource data. And a decision has to be taken whether a generic routine is going to be used or initially a custom routine invocation based on child compatible fields would be sufficient.

Hmm, not sure if I follow all your thought here, but I cooked up something that is straight-forward and works well for me. I'll post them now, so we at least have a base for discussions ...
