[PATCH] mmc:sdhci:add support to request/free pins for controllers sharing hardware bus

[PATCH] mmc:sdhci:add support to request/free pins for controllers sharing hardware bus

[Barry Song]

From: Bin Shi <bin.shi@csr.com>

some controllers share data bus or other pins between
multi-controllers and need to switch the functions of shared pins
runtime.
this patch requested those shared pins before actual hardware access
and release them after access

Hi Chris,
I am deeply sorry for our firewall still stops me to send email by
git. I post it in web and this patch should be not able to be applied.
Then i attatched the origianl patch as an attachment.
Our IT will open related ports. Then we can send formated patches later.

We send the common level patch ahead to get the upstream agreement so
that we can maintain our bottom level sdhci codes better. We will send
the special driver patch after some time.
Basically, the driver get a mutex and set hardware registers to make
the related pin switch roles.

Hmm, why should be there a functionality if there is no user for it? A
reference user helps people understand how it is intended to be used.

completely right. Of course this patch is based on real applications
and SoCs. We are using ARASAN sd controller IP, it can be configurated
to use shared pins mode in SoC design. And it looks like it is a
common requirement to save chip footprint by sharing data bus between
multi-controllers.

Just because Our SoCs are still on the way to opensource and mainline.
Even our arch/arm/mach-xxx hasn't been merged yet. Our target is
syncing our codes with mainline. So as a modification to sdhci common
level, we just get upstream's opinion for local maintaining earlier.

Anyway, this patch may be applied later after our others are ready. Or
it can be now so that other SoC companies can use this feature.

Thanks for the explanation.  In that case, I'll give you my Reviewed-by:
on the patch now, but will wait to merge it until you have your driver
support code posted too.  (Or until, as you say, someone else would like
the same hook.)

Barry,

How are interrupts from SDIO devices handled ?   SDIO devices use one of the pins to signal a interrupt to the host when data is availabe.

Good question. in fact, it is impossible to support both sharing all
data bus and sdio interrupt in hardware except that hardware gives a
special design with data1. Otherwise, controllers with shared pins
requested at runtime will not support sdio devices with interrupts.

So the point is that leaving get/put_shared_pins implementation to
bottom level drivers. Let the bottom level handle possible details.
