Introduce the device-tree bindings for the Enhanced Serial
Peripheral Interface (eSPI) controller found on AST2600
BMC SoCs.
The controller operates as the BMC-side eSPI slave and provides the
peripheral, virtual wire, out-of-band, and flash channels used for
host-BMC communication.

Thanks for the reminder.
Would you prefer that I resend this series with the corrected sign-off, or would it be fine to update it in the next version?

Add core eSPI controller support and common code for ASPEED SoCs. The
eSPI engine is a slave device in BMC to communicate with the Host over
the eSPI interface.
The initial support includes basic eSPI driver probe/remove operations,
and provides operators for ASPEED SoCs to implement their own eSPI slave
device drivers that are different among SoC models.

Please use devm_reset_control_get_optional_exclusive() directly.

Consider using dev_err_probe, same for the other errors.
That way the driver won't print incorrect error messages on
-EPROBE_DEFER.

Storing both pdev and &pdev->dev seems unnecessary.
Is pdev used at all?

This is missing a forward declaration for struct reset_control.

I will switch these error paths to dev_err_probe() so that -EPROBE_DEFER can be handled correctly.

Agreed, pdev is not used in the subsequent patches. I will remove it in the next revision.

Add initial support for the AST2600 eSPI peripheral channel handling of
port I/O transactions used for LPC-style accesses.
This patch does not yet implement peripheral memory read or write
cycles. Support for those transactions will be added in a follow-up
patch once the remaining transport and buffer handling pieces are in
place.

eSPI Target Attached Flash Sharing (TAFS) refers to sharing the storage
mounted on eSPI devices to host via eSPI Flash Channel.
Add support for TAFS storage handling by creating a storage read/write
interface conceptually like Logical Unit Number (LUN) for driver to
route storage requests to the specified TAFS backend.

Add flash channel probe/remove and function operators for core to
receive/send eSPI flash request packets. Flash channel packets are
handled in core to address storage requests via the LUN-like interface.
Note eSPI Flash channel may start transaction prior than kernel boots
due to host might accesses BIOS image in early stage. Busy checkings are
added to avoid resetting the Flash channel during probe if transaction
already begun.

add following attributes to select backend storage for eSPI TAFS LUN
interface:
- flash_lun_path: specify path of backend storage for eSPI TAFS to share
with host.
- flash_lun_readonly: set flash LUN to read-only or read-write mode to
block host write operations.
- flash_lun_enable: open storage according to flash_lun_path as file for
eSPI TAFS access.
Example usage:
- Select /dev/mtdblock8 as backend storage for eSPI TAFS LUN interface
echo /dev/mtdblock8 > \
/sys/bus/platform/devices/1e6ee000.espi/flash_lun_path
- Set LUN to read-only mode to block host write operations
echo 1 > /sys/bus/platform/devices/1e6ee000.espi/flash_lun_readonly
- Enable flash LUN for eSPI TAFS access
echo 1 > /sys/bus/platform/devices/1e6ee000.espi/flash_lun_enable

This all seems to be in the wrong places entirely, shouldn't an eSPI
driver and bindings go in the spi subsystem? FSL's appears to be there.

As documented in submitting-patches.rst please send patches to the
maintainers for the code you would like to change. The normal kernel
workflow is that people apply patches from their inboxes, if they aren't
copied they are likely to not see the patch at all and it is much more
difficult to apply patches.
Please submit patches using subject lines reflecting the style for the
subsystem, this makes it easier for people to identify relevant patches.
Look at what existing commits in the area you're changing are doing and
make sure your subject lines visually resemble what they're doing.
There's no need to resubmit to fix this alone.

If this is a driver for SPI hardware it should be under drivers/spi and
use the framework there.

Thanks for the kind guidance.
This driver is for the Intel eSPI interface used by the AST2600 BMC, for functions such as Super I/O that were previously handled over the LPC interface.
As there does not appear to be an in-tree eSPI subsystem at present, our initial thought was to place it under drivers/soc/aspeed/. If that is not the preferred upstream location, we are happy to restructure the series accordingly.

From an initial reading, my impression is that patches 1, 2, 3 and 7
should be modified to use the normal SPI interfaces to implement
an spi target driver, possibly a combined host/target driver.
Reworking this should be fairly straightforward because the interfaces
to the SPI core are well documented.
It is possible that the hardware can only be used to provide espi
device emulation. From what I could see in the code, there is
not much special in there, but I'm not that familiar with SPI
Patches 4, 5 and 6 in consequently would need to be reworked so
these can implement the TAFS spec independent of the SPI controller,
and can be shared e.g. with other OpenBMC targets using the same
module and the same user interface. None of this should be aspeed
specific.
There is a good chance that both the user interface and the placing
of the code will need a more debate, but I would suggest first trying
to move everything over to use the SPI subsystem but leave other
parts untouched for the moment.
> FSL's appears to be there.
I think this is just a similarly named device: Freescale/NXP's eSPI
device driver is unrelated to the Intel eSPI spec but rather implements
a normal SPI driver the same way that eDMA and eSDHC are Freescale's
implementation of dmaengine and SDHCI drivers.

Yeah, SPI with a random letter or string in front of it is usually just
someone made a new controller for some reason (often a new feature, like
all the QuadSPI devices) and wants to differentiate it from their old
ones or connect it to other branding.

Arnd, that's would be nice if it would be standard SPI device. But what
if eSPI would be a bus? So, I assume all other which lying underneath
eSPI would be much easier to implement as standard driver data set
SPI/GPIO/I2C with something like devm_regmap_init_espi(like for i2c/spi
or anything else) for example as common part for these drivers.
Thanks.

To extend Arnd's points here, some previous attempts were made to
support Intel's eSPI protocol on Aspeed's SoCs which aren't discussed
in this cover letter. I think it would be helpful to cover the history
and why we now have a third approach:

- https://lore.kernel.org/openbmc/20220516005412.4844-1-chiawei_wang@aspeedtech.com/
Previously, Jeremy had some suggestions covering the various channels:

Hi Andrew, Ivan, Arnd,
Thanks for the additional context and the review links. It was my mistake not to reference the previous
discussions in the cover letter.
This series is intended to support the Intel eSPI interface on AST2600, specifically the parts corresponding
to LPC-style accesses and Target Flash Access Sharing (TAFS), which are defined in the peripheral and flash
channels of the eSPI specification.
Because the earlier OpenBMC work from Chia-Wei dates back to 2021, and because the code structure and
overall approach in this series differs substantially from that earlier work, I chose to post this as a new series
rather than as a revision of the earlier one.
I agree that the cover letter should explain this history more clearly, including the definition of eSPI, how this
series differs from the previous attempts and how it relates to the earlier feedback on the channel split.
I will revise the cover letter accordingly in the next version.
In the meantime, my understanding is that this driver is for the Intel eSPI interface used by the AST2600 BMC,
rather than fitting a conventional SPI controller/device model. That was the reason for initially placing it under
drivers/soc/aspeed/, since there does not appear to be an in-tree eSPI subsystem at present.
However, if that is not the preferred upstream direction, we are happy to restructure the series accordingly.
It would be very helpful if you could advise on the preferred placement.
Thanks,
Yun Hsuan

I think we need to make sure everyone understands what the options are
here based on what the hardware can do, and what your use cases require.
From reading the old comments that Andrew linked to at
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-aspeed/HK0PR06MB377924CFCBFE9BD40E1C4A5D91D49@HK0PR06MB3779.apcprd06.prod.outlook.com/
I understand that the SoC has a "hardware mode" in which eSPI is
directly implemented by redirecting upper-level eSPI transactions into
functional blocks of the chip, while the software mode behaves like
a regular SPI endpoint controller and your driver implements the
same interfaces in a mix of kernel and userspace components. Can you
confirm that this is a correct understanding of what the hardware
does, or where I misunderstand parts?
If I understood this correctly, I think there is a general agreement
upstream that the low-level device access should indeed be in a
drivers/spi driver, with no ports of it in drivers/soc/aspeed. Using
a portable driver subsystem is always better than a custom solution
if it works at all.
For the higher-level interfaces (flash, gpio, ...), I don't think
there is any consensus yet about how this should be done, but again
I think this won't be drivers/soc but instead something more
generic.
One option here would be to sidestep this problem entirely by
moving all of the eSPI implementation out of the kernel but instead
have a hardware-independent userspace implementation that uses
the spidev ioctl interface. This is always going to be slower than
an in-kernel implementation, but also much easier to implement
and debug.
An in-kernel implementation of the eSPI backend (on top of
the SPI layer) is certainly a realistic option for the higher
layers, but requires finding consensus both on the the logistics
(subsystem, code ownership, interfaces to other subsystems)
and more importantly the user space interfaces that look like
they will require several revisions on top of what you have
today.

For reference, Intel's eSPI base specification is defined here:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/content-details/841685/enhanced-serial-peripheral-interface-espi-interface-base-specification-for-client-and-server-platforms.html
Although eSPI physically reuses some SPI pins, it is not used as a
conventional SPI controller/device interface. It also adds RESET# and ALERT#
beyond the usual SPI signals.
The spec also defines two roles in eSPI transaction model: Controller and
Target Device. ASPEED SoCs act as the Target Device side to interact with the
host. In this case, the hardware is not exposed in a form that maps naturally
onto the existing SPI subsystem model.

We understand the preference for using a generic subsystem where possible.
Our hesitation is that the eSPI functionality appears to software primarily
in terms of the eSPI Peripherals, Virtual Wires, OOB (SMBus), and Flash
channel semantics and backend routing, rather than low-level bus signaling.
Since this driver is responsible for configuring those Aspeed-specific
backend interfaces so they can service host requests, we initially placed it
under drivers/soc/aspeed.

Broadly yes, except that the AST2600 does not operate in a single global
"hardware mode" or "software mode". Instead, some backends in the eSPI target
controller support per-function HW/SW mode selection.
Depending on that function-specific setting, the controller either forwards a
received transaction directly to the corresponding hardware block or traps it
for software handling instead.
This mechanism exists because some backend blocks include their own hardware
filtering, but not all request types could be validated generically in
hardware. For example, the LPC bridge can reject illegal requests. In some
cases, blindly forwarding host requests to the target block would also have
security implications.
The channel/backend mapping on AST2600 can be summarized as:
eSPI
├── Peripheral
│ ├── Memory (HW mode only)
│ └── LPC bridge (HW mode only)
├── Virtual Wire
│ └── GPIO (HW/SW mode selection)
├── Out-of-Band (SW mode only)
└── Flash
└── Storage controller (HW/SW mode selection)
From the link thread, what Jeremy mentioned is the GPIO HW/SW mode for CH1,
which determines whether the host can directly control the corresponding BMC
GPIO output, or whether BMC software can inspect and decide whether to act on
that request.
Another example is the Target Attached Flash Sharing (TAFS) defined by the
eSPI specification that allows BMC to share its storage with the host.
In hardware mode, the eSPI Target Device controller routes the request
directly to a predefined storage controller on AST2600.
In software mode, it raises an interrupt and lets software handle the
transaction instead.
So I would not describe the AST2600 eSPI block as being globally in either
"hardware mode" or "software mode".
That choice is made per backend function, and some backend functions do not
implement such a switch at all.
So far, this series only covers the LPC bridge and flash channel parts.

For the flash-related interface, would it make sense to follow the
configuration model used by the USB gadget mass-storage function, and expose
the backing storage selection through configfs?
For the attributes, perhaps the only backing storage object and read-only
flag would be required in our case.
For the Virtual Wire GPIO, we think GPIO subsystem may be leveraged here,
though some corner cases may not map cleanly to a typical GPIO controller
model.
For the Out-of-band channel, since the eSPI spec models it for tunneled SMBus
packets, we may want to integrate it with the kernel's MCTP stack if that is
a suitable fit.

I see, thanks for the detailed explanation! Two follow-up questions:
- For the HW-mode-only peripherals (memory, LPC), is there any
driver interaction at all for setting it up, or is this completely
transparent to Linux running on the BMC?
- For the other devices running in SW mode, is the interface that the
driver sees abstract in the sense that the same low-level code
is shared for all of them, or are these still separate functional
blocks that each need their own register-level interface?

These all seem to be viable options, but I still think we should
focus on agreeing on a design for the low-level hardware interface
and whether this can or should be abstracted between SoC vendor
specific drivers before trying to solve the user interface side.

For LPC-style IO accesses like Post Code Capture (PCC), the accesses are
completely transparent to Linux.
For memory accesses, they are also transparent to Linux on the BMC. It just
requires configuring the translation from the bus address to a reserved
memory region on the BMC during driver probe.

The channels are distinct functional blocks within the eSPI controller, each
using its own channel-specific registers regardless of whether they operate
in HW or SW mode. There is no common message flow or registers for the
software modes. The eSPI controller dispatches eSPI messages to the relevant
channel's hardware function block, which then takes action according to its
mode configuration.
Some low-level framework code may be shareable, for example a unified ISR
entry that checks interrupt status register and routes to channel-specific
handlers, but the corresponding handling will be channel-specific.
