[PATCH 0/4] irq: imx-irqsteer: add 32 interrupts chan and multi outputs support

[PATCH 0/4] irq: imx-irqsteer: add 32 interrupts chan and multi outputs support

[Aisheng Dong]

Not all 64 interrupts may be used in one group. e.g. most irqsteer in
imx8qxp and imx8qm subsystems supports only 32 interrupts.
And one irqsteer channel can support up to 8 output interrupts.

This patch series aims to support 32 interrupts chan and multi output
interrupts.

Tested on:
iMX8QXP MEK with MIPI CSI capture and DC Display
iMX8MQ EVK with MIPI DSI Display

Dong Aisheng (4):
  dt-binding: irq: imx-irqsteer: use irq number per channel instead of
    group number
  dt-bindings: irq: imx-irqsteer: add multi output interrupts support
  irq: imx-irqsteer: change to use reg_num instead of irq_group
  irq: imx: irqsteer: add multi output interrupts support

[PATCH 1/4] dt-binding: irq: imx-irqsteer: use irq number per channel instead of group number

[Aisheng Dong]

Not all 64 interrupts may be used in one group. e.g. most irqsteer in
imx8qxp and imx8qm subsystems supports only 32 interrupts.

As the IP integration parameters are Channel number and interrupts number,
let's use fsl,irqs-per-chan to represents how many interrupts supported
by this irqsteer channel.

Sorry, but total NACK. I've got to great lengths with dumping the
actually implemented register layout on i.MX8M and AFAICS the IRQs are
always managed in groups of 64 IRQs, even if less than that are
connected as input IRQs. This is what the actually present register set
on i.MX8M tells us.

Also, I'd really like the DT bindings not to change at every release. So
whatever change (if any) has to be done for this driver to support
existing HW, please make sure that the DT bindings are kept as stable as
possible.

Thanks,

Sorry I should clarify it a bit.
There's still no users in Devicetree.
So I guess we can update it, right? Or not?

What do you mean by no users? This driver is in 5.0, and I assume people
are using it one way or another. Not having a platform in the kernel
tree is pretty much irrelevant, as the kernel tree is not a canonical
repository of existing platforms.

Thanks,

I understand the concern.
Theoretically yes, but it's very unlikely that there's already an out of tree users
wants to use it for a long term as we're still at the very initial stage.

And the most important reason is that current using actually is wrong.
We can also choose to mark it as 'depreciated' and keep the backward compatibility in driver,
but I'm not sure whether it's worthy to do it as we may add a lot ugly code in driver
benefits no users.

Ideas?

I'm all for doing a breaking DT change now. The binding is
significantly different from the downstream one anyways and I'm not
aware of any upstream users that wouldn't be able to cope with a change
at this point.

I want to reach a conclusion on the discussion about how the HW
actually works and is configured in reply to Patch 4/4 first.

Lucas

At this stage, and given that there is no consensus on how this driver
should work, I'm tempted to just rip it out entirely by reverting
0136afa08967 and be done with it until people work out a way forward.

The register layout varies depends on the irq per channel supports.
It's true 64 IRQs on MX8M, but not true for QXP and QM.
That's why we shouldn't use fsl,irq-groups.

I don't think the note clarifies anything. Given that the thing is a
irq multiplexer I don't think anyone expects that you could get away
with no output irq.

If anything this should specify that it's always groups of (up to) 64
input irqs being muxed onto a single output irq.

Lucas

Sound reasonable to me.
I will remove the note and keep other as it is.

[PATCH 3/4] irq: imx-irqsteer: change to use reg_num instead of irq_group

[Aisheng Dong]

One group can manage 64 interrupts by using two registers (e.g. STATUS/SET).
However, the integrated irqsteer may support only 32 interrupts which
needs only one register in a group. But the current driver assume there's
a mininum of two registers in a group which result in a wrong register map
for 32 interrupts per channel irqsteer. Let's use the reg_num caculated by
interrupts per channel instead of irq_group to cover this case.

This has been discussed when upstreaming the driver. The controller may
support multiple output IRQs, but only one them is actually used
depending on the CHANCTRL config. There is no use in hooking up all the
output IRQs in DT, if only one of them is actually used. Some of the
outputs may not even be visible to the Linux system, but may belong to
a Cortex M4 subsystem. All of those configurations can be described in
DT by changing the upstream interrupt and "fsl,channel" in a coherent
way.

Please correct me if my understanding is totally wrong.

Lucas

I'm afraid your understanding of CHAN seems wrong.
(Binding doc of that property needs change as well).

On QXP DC SS, the IRQSTEER supports 512 interrupts with 8 interrupt output
Conntected to GIC.
The current driver does not support it as it assumes only one interrupt output used.

Okay, so let's take a step back. The description in the QXP RM is
actually better than what I've seen until now. Still it's totally
confusing that the "channel" terminology used with different meanings
in docs. Let's try to avoid this as much as possible.

So to get things straight: Each irqsteer controller has a number of IRQ
groups. All the input IRQs of one group are ORed together to form on
output IRQ. Depending on the SoC integration, a group can contain 32 or
64 IRQs, where DCSS irqsteer on MX8M and the big 512 input controllers
on QXP and QM both use 64 IRQs per group. You are claiming that the
smaller controllers on both QXP am QM have only 32 IRQs per group,
right?

So the only change that is needed is that the driver needs to know the
number of input IRQs per group, with a default of 64 to not break DT
compatibility.

Also if the connection between IRQ group and output IRQ is fixed, the
driver should be more clever about handling the chained IRQ. If you
know which of the upstream IRQs fired you only need to look at the 32
or 64 IRQ status registers of that specific group, not all of them.

Can you please clarify what the CHANCTRL setting changes in this setup?

Regards,
Lucas

Not exactly.
from HW point of view , there're two parameters during IRQSTEER integration.
For example,
DC in QXP:
parameter  IRQCHAN		=  1; 	//Number of IRQ Channels/Slots
parameter  NINT32		=  8;	//Number of interrupts in multiple of 32

MIPI CSI in MQ:
Parameter  IRQCHAN		= 1
Parameter  NINT32		= 1

You will see no group concept used here. Only channel number and interrupts number.
The group is an IP internal concept that ORed a group of 64 interrupts into an output
interrupt. But it may also only use 32 interrupts in the same group.

Yes, that's right.
I planned to do that later with a separate patch before.

IRQsteer supports up to 5 separate CAHNNELS which each of them supports up
to 512 interrupts. CHANCTL is used to enable those respective CHAN output interrupts.
e.g.
1~8 output interrupts of CHAN0.

One notable thing is the each channel has a separate address space.
That means the chan1 reg address is not the one we specified in default reg property.
So the correct dts may be like for multi channels cases.
interrupt-controller@32e2d000 {
        compatible = "fsl,imx8m-irqsteer", "fsl,imx-irqsteer";
        reg = <0x32e2d000 0x1000>,
              <0x32e2e000 0x1000>,
              <0x32e2f000 0x1000>;
              ...
        reg-names = "ch0", "ch1", "ch2", ...;
        interrupts = <GIC_SPI 18 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
        fsl,irqs-per-chan= <64>;
        interrupt-controller;
        #interrupt-cells = <2>; //cell 0: chan index cell 2: interrupt number
};
This makes the things quite complicated.

In reality, we still don't have such using cases so far as as multi channels usually
are used to deliver the interrupts to different cores,
e.g. M4, SCU, or DSP, A core don't handle it.
So I did not change it currently as it's another story.
This patch series mainly aims to add support for 32 or 512 interrupts channel and multiple
Outputs for a single CHANNEL case.

If this is always in multiples of 32, the only change we need to make
to the driver is to fix DT binding and interpretation of the
"fsl,irq-groups" property to be in multiples of 32.

This means i.MX8MQ DCSS irqsteer would need to change to 2 irq-groups,
but as this isn't used upstream yet we can still do this change without
breaking too much stuff and I would rather correct this now than
keeping a DT binding around that doesn't match the HW.

I suppose that the OR group size at that point is always 64 input IRQs
per output IRQ, right? So with NINT32 == 1 you end up with 1 output
IRQ, but for NINT32 == 3 you get 2 output IRQs, correct?

Let's do it right with the first patch. This doesn't seem like a big
change.

With the current binding, what keeps us from describing such a multi-
channel irqsteer with multiple DT nodes and have multiple driver
instances? I don't see why we would need to mix this all into one
driver instance. So for your above example, something like:

interrupt-controller@32e2d000 {
	compatible = "fsl,imx8m-irqsteer", "fsl,imx-irqsteer";>
	reg = <0x32e2d000 0x1000>;
	interrupts = <GIC_SPI 18 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
	fsl,channel = <0>;
};

interrupt-controller@32e2e000 {
	compatible = "fsl,imx8m-irqsteer", "fsl,imx-irqsteer";>
	reg = <0x32e2e000 0x1000>;
	interrupts = <GIC_SPI 26 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
	fsl,channel = <1>;
};

The thing is, if we want to even try to keep DT stability we need to
understand how this HW block can be used and how we can describe this
in the DT.

We want to avoid using of irq-groups as it's wrong.
Stick to HW parameters, only channel number and interrupts number should be used.

Because from HW point of view, it IS actually one IRQSTEER module with multi
channels supported. So I feel describe each channel into several nodes
seems violate the HW a bit. That why I made the former dts binding as an example.

Another point is that there's only one physical CHANCTL register shared with multi
channels. However, each channel seems use a mirror CAHNCTRL register in its separate
register space to enable the channel. But needs care about overwrite others.
(Got this information after discussing with IC guys, still not verified)

Yes, that's right.
But the binding is already there, so we can fix them one by one without breaking
the stability.

The fsl,irq-groups property is exactly your NINT32 parameter above. I
just wrongly assumed that it's always in multiples of 64, as that's
what the i.MX8MQ DCSS irqsteer module looks like. We should fix this
and be done with it.

Yes, DT describes HW but that doesn't mean we slavishly need to stick
to the HW module boundaries. DT is always also an abstraction over the
hardware, so if we can both describe the HW more easily and keep the
driver simpler by treating the HW block as multiple instances of the
same thing, I think we should do this.

So that's something I don't understand yet. The docs state that only
one of the CHANCTL CH bit can be active at any time. If it's only one
physical register this can't be true.

If the CHANCTL in each channel register space is just a mirror of a
single physical register then sure, we could get into issues when
multiple driver instances try to change their "private" CHANCTL mirror
via a RMW cycle. So it's quite crucial to find out how it's wired up
internally.

No, not exactly the same thing. Using group will confuse people that the group is 32.
However, internally Group is fixed 64 interrupts although it may not use all the
64 interrupts. E.g. 32 interrupts.
See CHn_MINTDIS register which is also defined fixed to 64.

The two HW parameter for integration is already very clear. We should use interrupts
Number for the channel. Not group.

Yes, please check my another mail that I'm intend to agree with you.

Doc is a bit wrong here. It can enable all channels at the same time.

Okay, I see that the name irq-groups is confusing for you. But then I
find the -per-chan naming confusing.

So given that we seem to agree to split each channel into it's own DT
node, there is no need to name the property "something-per-chan", as
it's implied by the split DT nodes that all properties in one node are
referencing a channel.

May I suggest to name the property "fsl,num-irqs"?

Lucas

Double checked with IP module owner by looking into the RTL code,
writes to CHANnCTL registers have no effect.
This register is reserved and the doc will be updated.
Verified on both MX8QXP and MX8MQ.

All channels are isolated and have independent programming model.
So it will be okay to define them separately in device tree.

Sounds good to me.

After a bit more thinking, I guess this might work as we have separate register space
We also have miniored CHANCTL for each channel, all things make them look like
separate IRQSTEERs.
e.g.
AIPS – slot 9	64KB	IRQSTR.SCU2
AIPS – slot 8	64KB	IRQSTR.DSP
AIPS – slot 7	64KB	IRQSTR.CM4_0
AIPS – slot 6	64KB	IRQSTR.SCU

I need talk to the IP module designer to make sure the mirror chanctl can work well
And get back to you later once have an conclusion.

If that's ok, then we may only need update fsl,irq-groups to fsl,irqs-per-chan.

(BTW, those irqsteers actually are not used by A core, they're usd by SCU, M4 and DSP.
So this actually does not affect A core side work. E.g. Linux)

We normally don't validate stuff that comes from the DT, but I guess it
might be helpful to validate that the number of output irqs specified
matches what the number of input irqs, i.e. there is one output irqs
specified for each group of 64 inputs.

We really want some data about the output irq being passed here, so we
can cut down the number of register reads in the irq handler to the
maximum of 2 status registers per group.

Sound like a good idea.
I think we can calculate the irq_count from irqs number instead of of_irq_count.
Then the following irq_of_parse_and_map() will validate them automatically.

However, i think we'd better to keep the irq_count range check as well.
