[PATCH 1/1] drm/i915: ensure i2c adapter is all set before adding it

[Jani Nikula]

i2c_add_adapter() may do i2c transfers on the bus to detect supported
devices. Therefore the adapter needs to be all set before adding it. This
was not the case for the bit-banging fallback, resulting in an oops if the
device detection GMBUS transfers timed out. Fix the issue by calling
i2c_add_adapter() only after intel_gpio_setup().

The reason sounds sane to me, but while looking through the code, I have seen a
few other problems, too.

To my understanding, we should use port for dev_priv->gmbus[], not the pin
mapping (which is only used for gmbus_ports[]).
Don't forget to add the +1 for pin -> port mapping to the error case.

Also, intel_gmbus_get_adapter is already accepting a port value (I made sure to
look at the calls in other files too), so don't map the port back to a pin.

Keep the same in mind for the intel_teardown_gmbus "destructor".

The current code adds the gmbus algorithm (gmbus_xfer) to gmbus port 0, which is
known as "disabled" and shouldn't be used (previously has_gpio was set to false
for those ports to not do any transfer on those ports.)

I may be wrong, could you review this and maybe add it to your patch?

This seems to essentially undo

commit 2ed06c93a1fce057808894d73167aae03c76deaf
Author: Daniel Kurtz <djkurtz@chromium.org>
Date:   Wed Mar 28 02:36:15 2012 +0800

    drm/i915/intel_i2c: gmbus disabled and reserved ports are invalid

Note that port numbers start at 1, whereas the array is 0-index based. So
you patch here would blow up if you don't extend the dev_priv->gmbus
array.

Yours, Daniel

Uhm, no, quite on the contrary. gmbus starts at 0 (with idx 0 being labeled
"disabled" and idx ((GMBUS_NUM_PORTS == 6) + 1) being labeled "reserved", which
neither should be touched).
Thus, in effect, it starts with 1 and ends with 6, but the current code does not
take that into account, instead accessing elements from 0 onwards:

The code currently would access *dev_priv->gmbus[0] in the first iteration,
which is labeled as "disabled" and shouldn't be touched. Instead, we should do a
pin->port mapping and access *dev_priv->gmbus[1, 2, 3 ... 6] instead (with
*dev_priv->gmbus[7] left out, as it's marked as "reserved" and again shouldn't
be touched.)

However, accessing gmbus_ports[0] is fine, and we can then copy
gmbus_ports[0].name to  *dev_priv->gmbus[1]->adapter.name
                     ^ pin                          
                                                 ^ port

Blowing up seems impossible too, as GMBUS_NUM_PORTS is #defined as END_PORT -
BEGIN_PORT + 1 which will evaluate to 6 and be the last index used.

Best regards,


Mihai

Had another look at the code and would like to apologize for the confusion...

Wrong.
struct intel_gmbus gmbus[GMBUS_NUM_PORTS];
thus starting at 0 to GMBUS_NUM_PORTS-1, no more reserved or disabled ports. I
have totally overlooked the definition, sorry.

Ignore the rest of my comments and the patch, as they are based on false
assumptions (gmbus still containing the disabled and reserved ports.)

Instead, I'd like to ACK Jani's patch. The module can now be loaded fine,
there's no null ptr dereference anymore and only some gmbus warnings show up,
though this time only one message per port, so basically it's falling back to
bit banging on all gmbus ports as it should:

[   14.722454] i915 0000:00:02.0: setting latency timer to 64
