[PATCH] tty: serial: msm_serial: Use DT aliases

[PATCH] tty: serial: msm_serial: Use DT aliases

[Stephen Boyd]

We rely on probe order of this driver to determine the line number for
the uart port. This makes it impossible to know the line number
when these devices are populated via DT. Use the DT alias
mechanism to assign the line based on the aliases node.

Is there only one uart on each of these?

If not, it would be better to put the aliases in the board specific file,
pointing to whichever ports are in use, in the order that makes sense
for that board.

Good point, thanks for bringing it up.

Your comment made me verify that the board dts files can override the
aliases from the included .dtsi.  So not a problem to have a default
set of aliases in the .dtsi files.

I would think it's better to keep them in the per-board file out of
principle though.

FYI... this patch hit linux-next and caused multiple boot failures on
qcom platforms[1] as of next-20141110.  I'm assuming this is because
the corresponding DTS changes have not hit linux-next yet.

Hmm the intention was to make it optional so that dts changes aren't
necessary unless you want deterministic numbering. I screwed that up
badly :/ Thanks for finding this.

Greg, can you also apply this patch or squash it into the bad one?

From: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org>
Subject: [PATCH] tty: serial: msm_serial: Don't required DT aliases

If there isn't a DT alias then of_alias_get_id() will return
-ENODEV. This will cause the msm_serial driver to fail probe,
when we want to keep the previous behavior where we generated a
dynamic line number at probe time. Restore this behavior by
generating a dynamic id if the line number is still negative
after checking for an alias or (in the non-DT case) looking at the
.id field of the platform device.

Well this matches what was there before. It would do atomic_inc_return
if the line was negative and then still check for a negative value. I
don't mind removing it though. Perhaps we should use an ida?

OK, you are right.  If (pdev->id < -1) and (!pdev->dev.of_node) then
the check is still needed.

You could use an ida.  Some drivers use a bit map.  I really don't think
this should become a complicated algorithm though.  If the rule is that
either all UARTS have an alias, or no UART has an alias, then I think
the patch could be something like the following.

This combines your original patch, plus your fix patch, plus making
the aliases all or nothing.  Not tested, not even compiled.

What do you think?

OK, you are right.  If (pdev->id < -1) and (!pdev->dev.of_node) then
the check is still needed.

You could use an ida.  Some drivers use a bit map.  I really don't think
this should become a complicated algorithm though.  If the rule is that
either all UARTS have an alias, or no UART has an alias, then I think
the patch could be something like the following.

This combines your original patch, plus your fix patch, plus making
the aliases all or nothing.  Not tested, not even compiled.

What do you think?

From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@sonymobile.com>

This patch is intended to show roughly what an implementation of an all or
nothing policy for using serialN aliases would look like.  It is intended
simply to help determine whether this policy should be used.

Combines Stephen's first patch, Stephen's fix patch (to make the serialN
alias optional), plus makes use of the serialN alias all or nothing (either
all ports have an alias or none do).

This is not a correct implementation because the atomic_read(&msm_uart_next_id)
does not protect against concurrency; instead a lock should be used.

Not tested, not even compiled.

Sorry, I'm sort of lost. If there are serial aliases in the dts file,
then we should alias all of the serial ports. If there aren't aliases
then we're backwards compatible with the dts we have now and we'll do
dynamic generation. Putting code into the driver to validate that this
is true is not the job of the driver. If anything, it should validated
when the dts file is created. If one day we screw up and have a dts file
with such a bad configuration we'll have to work around it, but until
that day comes I'd rather not think about it.

Maybe I did not understand when you said "Perhaps we should use an ida".
That sentence led me to think the driver should check for misconfiguration.
The case I was trying to handle was if there was at least one serialN
alias and at least one UART without an alias.  For example, if there
are three UARTs (serial_a, serial_b, serial_c, probed in that order)
and one alias (serial0 = &serial_c;) then the result would be:

   serial_a  line 0 (from msm_uart_next_id)
   serial_b  line 1 (from msm_uart_next_id)
   serial_c  line 0 (from the alias)

   Two UARTs probed with line == 0.  This is an error.

Most of the serial drivers don't check for this type of bad configuration.
Some drivers keep a bit map of which lines have been used.  I'm not sure
what they do in case of a conflict (I did not read to that level of detail).

I thought you were suggesting the driver check for the bad configuration,
so I was proposing a somewhat simple way of forcing a boot error for the
bad configuration.

Since you are not suggesting the driver check for the bad configuration,
you can ignore my proposal.  I agree that it is ok for the driver to
expect the board dts to be correct.  The problem should be detected by
the dts author on first boot as part of normal bring up testing, and
then corrected.

Maybe I did not understand when you said "Perhaps we should use an ida".
That sentence led me to think the driver should check for misconfiguration.
The case I was trying to handle was if there was at least one serialN
alias and at least one UART without an alias.  For example, if there
are three UARTs (serial_a, serial_b, serial_c, probed in that order)
and one alias (serial0 = &serial_c;) then the result would be:

   serial_a  line 0 (from msm_uart_next_id)
   serial_b  line 1 (from msm_uart_next_id)
   serial_c  line 0 (from the alias)

   Two UARTs probed with line == 0.  This is an error.

Most of the serial drivers don't check for this type of bad configuration.
Some drivers keep a bit map of which lines have been used.  I'm not sure
what they do in case of a conflict (I did not read to that level of detail).

I thought you were suggesting the driver check for the bad configuration,
so I was proposing a somewhat simple way of forcing a boot error for the
bad configuration.

Since you are not suggesting the driver check for the bad configuration,
you can ignore my proposal.  I agree that it is ok for the driver to
expect the board dts to be correct.  The problem should be detected by
the dts author on first boot as part of normal bring up testing, and
then corrected.

Ah ok. I was just saying we could use an ida instead of an atomic
increment so that this driver works properly with driver
binding/unbinding, otherwise the line number keeps increasing and
quickly goes beyond the static array of ports (which I still don't
understand why we have at all btw).

Due to the length of the thread, I haven't followed all the details, and
I suspect Greg hasn't either, so I'm not sure if you're discssuing what
the right fix is for what's in -next (still broken[1], or what should be done
with the device board files.

If the fix from earlier in this thread is still the right one for fixing
-next, could you repost it separately for Greg to queue/squash and for
me to re-test (if needed.)
