[PATCH 0/2] OMAP: fix boot sequence

[Grygorii Strashko]

Hi

There are two public discussions now related to OMAP boot and drivers
initialization issues:
"Multiple issues with omap4 panda es in linux next"
  http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-omap/msg90241.html
"[BUG] omap: mfd/regulator: twl/core: init order"
  http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-omap/msg89980.html

In both cases there are pinctrl-single/I2C/MFD/Regulators initailization issue:
- regulators are not initialized because of twl,
- twl is not initialized because of I2C,
- I2C is not initialized because of pinctrl-single,
- pinctrl-single is initialized at mudule/device init time.
So, most everything will be shifted at late_initcall time. 

This may cause boot delay (more over, it can broken initialization of drivers
which are not ready to use deferred probe mechanism yet, for example DSS).

Introduced pathes shift I2C and TWL iniialization to module/device init layer
instead of subsys init layer where initialization dependencies resolved
indirectly in drivers/Makefile now.

[PATCH 1/2] i2c: omap: convert to module_platform_driver()

[Grygorii Strashko]

The OMAP I2C driver has a relation to pinctrl-single driver. As result,
its probe will be deferred during system boot until late init time,
because the pinctrl-single is initizalized as moudle/device init time.
This, in turn, will delay initialization of all I2C devices (like mfd,
I2C regulators and etc.) and cause boot delay (more over, it can broken
initialization of drivers which are not ready to use deferred probe
mechanism yet, for example DSS).

There are no sense to keep OMAP I2C initialization on subsys init layer
any more, hence shift it to module/device layer where the i2c <-->
pinctrl-single dependency is resolved in drivers/Makefile now.

[PATCH 1/2] i2c: omap: convert to module_platform_driver()

[Grygorii Strashko]

The OMAP I2C driver has a relation to pinctrl-single driver. As result,
its probe will be deferred during system boot until late init time,
because the pinctrl-single is initizalized as moudle/device init time.
This, in turn, will delay initialization of all I2C devices (like mfd,
I2C regulators and etc.) and cause boot delay (more over, it can broken
initialization of drivers which are not ready to use deferred probe
mechanism yet, for example DSS).

There are no sense to keep OMAP I2C initialization on subsys init layer
any more, hence shift it to module/device layer where the i2c <-->
pinctrl-single dependency is resolved in drivers/Makefile now.

Testing this patch with PATCH 1/2, the twl_rtc driver fails to correctly
initialize on OMAP3:

         twl_rtc rtc.22: hctosys: invalid date/time

instead of the expected result:

          twl_rtc rtc.22: setting system clock to 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (946684800)

so something is still not right for the init sequence.

I think, the root cause of the problem isn't this patch - it's just yet 
another side effect
of using deferred probes :). I've taken a look on twl-rtc code and found 
possible error place
static int __init twl_rtc_init(void)
{
     if (twl_class_is_4030()) <------ here,
         rtc_reg_map = (u8 *) twl4030_rtc_reg_map;
     else
         rtc_reg_map = (u8 *) twl6030_rtc_reg_map;

     return platform_driver_register(&twl4030rtc_driver);
}
In drivers/Makefile:
obj-$(CONFIG_RTC_LIB)        += rtc/  <------ RTC is placed before I2C
obj-y                += i2c/ media/ <----- and only here I2C bus 
instantiates TWL-core device
and configures twl_priv->twl_id

Thats why it's working on my OMAP4/twl6030 board. Could you check if 
below fix will work on OMAP3:

Yes, your fix works.  Thanks for digging into it.

Care to send a proper patch?  Please be sure to send to Andrew Morton
also, since he'll be the one to queue the RTC patch.

Yes, your fix works.  Thanks for digging into it.

Care to send a proper patch?  Please be sure to send to Andrew Morton
also, since he'll be the one to queue the RTC patch.

So, I think it is best if you resend this patch after all the fixes it
needs are applied or you resend the series with all patches it depends
on. Which should then probably go via arm-soc. Or?

[PATCH 2/2] mfd: twl-core: convert to module_i2c_driver()

[Grygorii Strashko]

Shift TWL initialization to module/device init layer, because I2C now is
not initialized on subsys init layer and shifted to module/device init
layer instead.

The I2C <--> TWL dependency should be resolved in drivers/Makefile now.

I applied this one to mfd-next for now, and will move it to mfd-fixes if
someone confirms that this is indeed a fix.

Thanks, AFAIK it can wait until v3.11 merge window.

Thanks, it's optimization which reduces the number of deferred probes at 
boot

Thanks, I have few questions:

1. It seems that the real fix to the issues we're seeing
   is to make the broken drivers to support -EPROBE_DEFER?

2. If so, can these be merged later on as clean-up?

3. Can these two patches be merged separately without
   breaking things?

Regards,

Tony

if i understand Tomi correctly, he has problems with DSS updating to use
  -EPROBE_DEFER, so this is rather fix than clean-up.
But need confirmation that it's true from him.
