[PATCH v11 0/7] I2C Mux per channel bus speed

[PATCH v11 0/7] I2C Mux per channel bus speed

[Marcus Folkesson]

This was a RFC on how to implement a feature to have different bus
speeds on different channels with an I2C multiplexer/switch.
As no major complaints on the design came up during the review, I
decided to submit the series without the RFC tag.

The benefit with this feature is that you may group devices after
the fastest bus speed they can handle.
A real-world example is that you could have e.g. a display running @400kHz
and a smart battery running @100kHz using the same I2C controller.

There are many corner cases where this may cause a problem for some
hardware topologies. I've tried to describe those I could think of
in the documentation, see Patch #5.

E.g. one risk is that if the mux driver does not disconnect channels
when Idle, this may cause a higher frequency to "leak" through to
devices that are supposed to run at lower bus speed.
This is not only a "problem" for changing bus speed but could also be
an issue for potential address conflicts.

This patchset has been used and tested heavily the last months
on a custom board based on a da850 (DaVinci) platform.

The implementation is split up into several patches:

Patch #1 Introduce a callback for the i2c controller to set bus speed
Patch #2 Introduce functionality to adjust bus speed depending on mux
         channel.
Patch #3 Cleanup i2c-davinci driver a bit to prepare it for set_clk_freq
Parch #4 Implement set_clk_freq for the i2c-davinci driver
Parch #5 Update documentation with this feature

[PATCH v11 1/7] i2c: core: add callback to change bus frequency

[Marcus Folkesson]

All devices on the same I2C bus share the same clock line and the bus
frequency has therefor be chosen so that all attached devices are able
to tolarate that clock rate. IOW, the bus speed must be set for the
slowest attached device.

With I2C multiplexers/switches on the other hand, it would be possible
to have different "domains" that runs with different speeds.

Prepare for such a feature by provide an optional callback function to
change bus frequency.

As a side effect, several bus drivers keep the bus speed in a
private structure and can now have this value stored in a uniform way
instead.

Ah, I thought you also updated to _Hz here...

But no need to resend just for that, only in case of a new version for
something else. (Or maybe Andi even can tweak this whilst applying...)

[PATCH v11 2/7] i2c: mux: add idle_state property to i2c_mux_core

[Marcus Folkesson]

Muxes treat their channels differently when idle.
Let the mux core have this information to make it available for
internal use.
Reuse the same state values used by CONFIG_MULTIPLEXER.

Possible idle states are:
- MUX_IDLE_AS_IS: Leave channels as is when idle
- MUX_IDLE_DISCONNECT: Disconnect channel (set HiZ when idle)
- <n>: Enable channel n when idle

Default value is set to MUX_IDLE_AS_IS.

Here and in the comment in the code I would elaborate a bit to justify signed
type for the field. For example, put it as

  " - <n>: Enable channel n (starting from 0) when idle"

> Default value is set to MUX_IDLE_AS_IS.

Otherwise LGTM, FWIW,

This is insufficient. AS_IS is simply not an adequate default.

For i2c-mux-gpmux, there is currently no way to dig out what
the idle state is, as it is not exposed by the mux subsystem. For
i2c-mux-gpio, the idle state depends on both the idle-state /and/
the i2c-mux-idle-disconnect props. For i2c-mux-pca954x the idle
state can be adjusted at runtime. Etc.

In short, idle state handling is a bit diverse, and I think this
adds to that mess.

I think it will be a bit of work to come up with a scheme for the
I2C mux core to accurately keep track of what the idle state is.
One way to deal with that is to introduce a new "unknown" value
that can be the default for all drivers that has not yet figured
out how to feed the correct idle state to the core.

And that hints at why I think reusing the mux.h bindings #include
is bad. The mux subsystem simply has no need for an unknown state,
and adding that to mux.h is therefore out of place.

I think it is bad to bring in this include here. That include
belongs to the mux subsystem. Yes, it is included by others as
well, but please don't expand on that.

A "mux controller" is a concept in the mux subsystem, and there
is no equivalent for I2C muxes.

I see.

I think I will introduce a few defines in i2c-mux.c then;


#define I2C_MUX_IDLE_UNKNOWN	(-1)
#define I2C_MUX_IDLE_AS_IS      (-2)
#define I2C_MUX_IDLE_DISCONNECT (-3)

[...]

struct i2c_mux_core {

    [...]

	/*
	 * The mux state to use when not active.
	 * Possible idle states are:
	 *  - I2C_MUX_IDLE_UNKNOWN: Unknown idle state
	 *  - I2C_MUX_IDLE_AS_IS: Leave channels as is when idle
	 *  - I2C_MUX_IDLE_DISCONNECT: Disconnect channel (set HiZ when idle)
	 *  - <n>: Enable channel n (starting from 0) when idle"
	 *
	 * Default value is set to I2C_MUX_IDLE_UNKNOWN.
	 */
	int idle_state;

    [...]
};


Would that be a better approach?

Thanks,
Marcus Folkesson

Hi!

Please keep AS_IS as -1 and DISCONNECT as -2. Using different
values will make it difficult to get rid of the use of the
defines belonging to the mux subsystem in case the actual
value has crept into some .dtb or something like that.

Also, I think the right thing to do is to put these defines
in the i2c-mux.h header so that the drivers can find them.
I assume .c was a typo?

This is not 100% accurate. The value stored here is never
actually used to set the idle state. The idle_state here is
only what the driver has declared that the idle_state is.
Perhaps word it like this instead?

	* The mux state used by the driver when idle.

Agreed, subtle difference, but...

In the future, drivers (most of them) could be changed to
use this variable to store the actual idle state. But, as
mentioned, that's not easy for i2c-mux-gpmux since the idle
state is under the control of the the mux subsystem in that
case.

Cheers,
Peter

Yep, it should be i2c-mux.h.

[PATCH v11 3/7] i2c: mux: add support for per channel bus frequency

[Marcus Folkesson]

There may be several reasons why you may need to use a certain speed
on an I2C bus. E.g.

- When several devices are attached to the bus, the speed must be
  selected according to the slowest device.

- Electrical conditions may limit the usable speed on the bus for
  different reasons.

With an I2C multiplexer, it is possible to group the attached devices
after their preferred speed by e.g. putting all "slow" devices on a
separate channel on the multiplexer.

Consider the following topology:

                      .----------. 100kHz .--------.
    .--------. 400kHz |          |--------| dev D1 |
    |  root  |--+-----| I2C MUX  |        '--------'
    '--------'  |     |          |--. 400kHz .--------.
                |     '----------'  '-------| dev D2 |
                |  .--------.               '--------'
                '--| dev D3 |
                   '--------'

One requirement with this design is that a multiplexer may only use the
same or lower bus speed as its parent.
Otherwise, if the multiplexer would have to increase the bus frequency,
then all siblings (D3 in this case) would run into a clock speed it may
not support.

The bus frequency for each channel is set in the devicetree. As the
i2c-mux bindings import the i2c-controller schema, the clock-frequency
property is already allowed.
If no clock-frequency property is set, the channel inherits their parent
bus speed.

The following example uses dt bindings to illustrate the topology above:

    i2c {
	clock-frequency = <400000>;

        i2c-mux {
            i2c@0 {
                clock-frequency = <100000>;

                D1 {
                    ...
                };
            };

            i2c@1 {
                D2 {
                  ...
                };
            };
        };

        D3 {
            ...
        }
    };

[PATCH v11 4/7] i2c: davinci: calculate bus freq from Hz instead of kHz

[Marcus Folkesson]

The bus frequency is unnecessarily converted between Hz and kHz in
several places.
This is probably an old legacy from the old times (pre-devicetrees)
when the davinci_i2c_platform_data took the bus_freq in kHz.

Stick to Hz.

+Bus Speed and I2C Multiplexers
+================================
+
+I2C bus multiplexers allow multiple downstream channels to be exposed
+as separate I2C adapters which also could set their own bus speed.
+
+The multiplexer itself cannot change the bus speed as it uses the upstream
+clock and data lines to communicate with the downstream devices. The speed
+is therefore changed in the root adapter resulting in that the whole bus is
+affected.
+
+This increases the complexity of the topology and some considerations must
+be taken into account.
+
+Bus speed
+----------
+
+Downstream channels of an I2C multiplexer can only operate at the same or
+lower bus speed as the upstream bus. This is because the upstream bus may
+have devices that cannot operate at higher speeds and those will be affected
+by the speed change.
+
+The example below illustrates the problem.
+The root adapter is operating at 100kHz. D2 can only operate with 100kHz,
+but D1 can operate at 400kHz. When D1 is selected, the bus speed of the
+root adapter would have to be set to 400kHz, a speed that D2 may not support.
+
+This topology is therefore not allowed: ::
+
+                          .----------. 400kHz .--------.
+        .--------. 100kHz |   mux-   |--------| dev D1 |
+        |  root  |--+-----|  locked  |        '--------'
+        '--------'  |     |  mux M1  |
+                    |     '----------'
+                    |  .--------.
+                    '--| dev D2 |
+                       '--------'
+
+
+This topology is allowed: ::
+
+                          .----------. 100kHz .--------.
+        .--------. 400kHz |   mux-   |--------| dev D2 |
+        |  root  |--+-----|  locked  |        '--------'
+        '--------'        |  mux M1  |--. 400kHz .--------.
+                          '----------'  '--------| dev D1 |
+                                                 '--------'
+
+Preferred topology
+-------------------
+
+The preferred topology when using different bus speeds is to have the multiplexer
+connected directly to the root adapter without any devices as siblings.
+By this arrangement, the bus speed can be changed without affecting any other devices
+and many of the caveats are avoided.
+
+Other multiplexers in parallel are still okay as those are locked out during transfers.
+
+This is the preferred topology: ::
+
+                          .----------. 100kHz .--------.
+        .--------. 400kHz |   mux-   |--------| dev D2 |
+        |  root  |--+-----|  locked  |        '--------'
+        '--------'        |  mux M1  |--. 400kHz .--------.
+                          '----------'  '--------| dev D1 |
+                                                 '--------'
+
+Locking
+--------
+
+If the multiplexer is mux-locked, transfers to D3 may interleave between the
+select-transfer-deselect to D1 or D2.
+This results in a situation where the bus speed to D3 may be lower than it
+is supposed to be. This is usually not a problem.
+
+This topology is allowed but some transfers to D3 may be at 100kHz: ::
+
+                          .----------. 100kHz .--------.
+        .--------. 400kHz |   mux-   |--------| dev D1 |
+        |  root  |--+-----|  locked  |        '--------'
+        '--------'  |     |  mux M1  |--. 400kHz .--------.
+                    |     '----------'  '--------| dev D2 |
+                    |  .--------.                '--------'
+                    '--| dev D3 |
+                       '--------'
+
+Multiple muxes in series
+--------------------------
+
+When multiple muxes are used in series the same rules apply.
+
+Transfers to D3 may interleave between select-transfer-deselect to D1, which
+results in that the bus speed to D2 or D3 will be at 100KHz.
+
+Transfers to D2 may interleave between select-transfer-deselect to D1, which
+results in that the bus speed to D1 may be at 400kHz as the transfer to D2
+will set the bus speed to before the transfer to D1 starts.
+
+This is probably a bad topology ::
+
+                     .----------. 400kHz .----------. 100kHz .--------.
+    .--------.400kHz |   mux-   |--------|   mux-   |--------| dev D1 |
+    |  root  |--+----|  locked  | 400kHz |  locked  |        '--------'
+    '--------'  |    |  mux M1  |--.     |  mux M2  |
+                |    '----------'  |     '----------'
+                |  .--------.      |  .--------.
+                '--| dev D3 |      '--| dev D2 |
+                   '--------'         '--------'
+
+Multiple muxes in parallel
+----------------------------
+
+When multiple muxes are used in parallel all access to other muxes are locked out
+so this is not a problem.
+
+If the muxes are mux-locked, access to D3 may still interleave though.
+
+In the example below, D3 may not interleave between select-transfer-deselect for D1
+or D2 as both muxes are parent-locked: ::
+
+
+                   .----------. 100kHz   .--------.
+                   |  parent- |----------| dev D1 |
+                .--|  locked  |          '--------'
+                |  |  mux M1  |
+                |  '----------'
+                |      .----------. 400KHz  .--------.
+    .--------. 400kHz  |  parent- |---------| dev D2 |
+    |  root  |--+------|  locked  |         '--------'
+    '--------'  |      |  mux M2  |
+                |      '----------'
+                |  .--------.
+                '--| dev D3 |
+                   '--------'
+
+Idle state
+-----------
+
+Muxes have an idle state, which is the state the channels are put into when no channel
+is active. The state is typically one of the following:
+
+- All channels are disconnected
+- The last selected channel is left as-is
+- A predefined channel is selected
+
+Muxes that support an idle state where all channels are disconnected are preferred when using
+different bus speeds. Otherwise high bus speeds may "leak" through to devices that
+may not support that higher speed.
+
+Consider the following example: ::
+
+                          .----------. 100kHz .--------.
+        .--------. 400kHz |   mux-   |--------| dev D1 |
+        |  root  |--+-----|  locked  |        '--------'
+        '--------'  |     |  mux M1  |--. 400kHz .--------.
+                    |     '----------'  '--------| dev D2 |
+                    |  .--------.                '--------'
+                    '--| dev D3 |
+                       '--------'
+
+If the idle state of M1 is:
+
+- All channels disconnected: No problem, D1 and D2 are not affected by communication
+  to D3.
+- Last selected channel: Problem if D1 was the last selected channel. High speed
+  communication to D3 will be "leaked" to D1.
+- Predefined channel: Problem if the predefined channel is D1. Set predefined channel
+  to D2 as D2 may handle 400kHz.
+
+Supported controllers
+-----------------------
+
+Not all I2C controllers support setting the bus speed dynamically.
+At the time of writing, the following controllers have support:
