[PATCH 0/6] arm64: dts: imx: Move Ethernet aliases out of SoC DTSI

[PATCH 0/6] arm64: dts: imx: Move Ethernet aliases out of SoC DTSI

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Not tested on hardware.

Ethernet interface, like other exposed interfaces, aliases depend on
actual board configuration, e.g. its labeling, thus aliases should be
defined per each board or each SoM.

Some boards (e.g. Gateworks) follow this convention but many do not.

This is continuation of my comments from:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/16a98816-f43c-4f4d-940e-9da30cb1f73f@kernel.org

Best regards,
Krzysztof

[PATCH 2/6] arm64: dts: imx8dxl: Move Ethernet aliases out of SoC DTSI

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Ethernet interface, like other exposed interfaces, aliases depend on
actual board configuration, e.g. its labeling, thus aliases should be
defined per each board or each SoM.

[PATCH 3/6] arm64: dts: imx8mm: Move Ethernet aliases out of SoC DTSI

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Ethernet interface, like other exposed interfaces, aliases depend on
actual board configuration, e.g. its labeling, thus aliases should be
defined per each board or each SoM.

Re: [PATCH 3/6] arm64: dts: imx8mm: Move Ethernet aliases out of SoC DTSI

[PATCH 4/6] arm64: dts: imx8mn: Move Ethernet aliases out of SoC DTSI

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Ethernet interface, like other exposed interfaces, aliases depend on
actual board configuration, e.g. its labeling, thus aliases should be
defined per each board or each SoM.

The i.MX boards have traditionally listed aliases for many hardware
peripherals with the same numbering that's used in the SoC reference
manual. Boards always have the option to override those aliases if they
have a good reason to do so, e.g. labeling on the physical device.

Other users besides Linux rely on fixed numbering provided by the
aliases. Both barebox and U-Boot number their ethernet interfaces
according to the alias.

While you seem to add back aliases for in-tree boards, this breaks the
majority of boards that include the kernel DTSI from an out-of-tree
board. I can understand that we can't always accommodate these users,
but I simply don't see the strong benefit of this patch to justify
creating churn and possible regressions with those OOT users.

Having those aliases in the DTSI has been common practice on the i.MX
platform since 2012, long before there was any strong consensus on how
those aliases should be used. Breaking existing users for the sake of
aligning the i.MX platform with more idiomatic DT usage does not seem
to be a worthwhile trade-off to me.

Lucas

They should mainline their code.

It is not only a "churn", but way to stop people from repeating the same
mistake. Every time you bring new soc, people will copy old code thus
this will never change.

Many previous practices were poor practices and decent SoC platforms
fixed and changed it.

We made big cleanups - since ~2 years Samsung is warning free. Since
similar time all Qcom boards use phandle/label override. All of them
were significant effort and quite a shuffling of code. Such effort is
necessary if you want to code to be maintainable and in best shape for
future development.

Unless you claim NXP SoCs are a legacy platform and we should not do
such cleanups.

No existing users are broken. Everyone who decided to stay out of tree
is on their own, but this was their choice. We are not talking here
about ABI.

While that is the commonly agreed interpretation today, I do not see
any language in the DT spec itself or kernel Documentation/devicetree
that would mandate aliases to be used in this way.

In fact there are examples to the contrary like
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/serial/samsung_uart.yaml which says:
"Each Samsung UART should have an alias [...] as specified by User's
Manual of respective SoC."

So I would argue that there is no hard line between correct/incorrect
for the historical usage of the alias nodes on the i.MX platform.

Some usecases depend on the aliases being the same between kernel and
bootloader. Historically that has been guaranteed on the i.MX platform
by the aliases in the SoC DTSI, when the board didn't have a need to
change them. With this series applied some other users may now end up
with missing aliases if the only include the DTSI.

I am not too sympathetic about out-of-tree users myself, but I don't
think we should make their life harder deliberately.

In this specific case I don't see a need to change the existing code. 

If new SoCs should change the alias use, this is something that can be
implemented on the SoC maintainer level. No need to introduce churn on
the existing platforms to enforce a new rule for newly introduced SoCs.

As I don't see the current usage as objectively wrong, I don't see the
need to do this cleanup/rework to the existing SoC DTSIs.

Yes, there is no formal ABI guarantee with this anywhere, so we can
break out-of-tree user when needed. However, I don't think the
improvements in this patchset justify such breakage.

And that is an ABI. Did I affect ABI here?

There is. ABI is documented. There are things which turn out ABI, even
though they are not documented, like node names. Was there a problem
with refactoring these in NXP?

No.

Bring actual case, what is broken by this changeset.

We are making our life easier by maintaining and improving source code:
e.g. not creating fake aliases for devices which do not exist on given
board.

In fact there was significant fallout from the node name changes, as
assumptions in bootloader code on how to fix up DTs passed to the
kernel were invalidated. We did not make a fuzz about those cases and
just fixed the breakage in the bootloader, because we agreed with the
overall benefit of those changes to the i.MX ecosystem.

Sorry, I disagree with this sweeping statement when looking at the
specific changes in this patchset. I simply do not see how this change
significantly improves future maintenance of existing DTs for the i.MX
platform to justify the breakage inflicted upon existing OOT users.

I'm not the one to decide whether or not to take those patches, but
IMHO the overall benefit of those patches to the i.MX ecosystem is not
a net positive.
