Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Add dynamic CSU register sysfs interface
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 04:42:42 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408114244.2852015-1-ronak.jain@amd.com> (raw)
This patch series adds support for exposing CSU registers through a
sysfs interface. The implementation uses dynamic discovery via the
PM_QUERY_DATA firmware API to determine available registers at
runtime, making the interface flexible and maintainable without
requiring kernel changes when firmware capabilities evolve.
Background:
The ZynqMP platform has several CSU registers that are useful for
system configuration and debugging. Previously, accessing these
registers required direct memory access or custom tools. This series
provides a standardized sysfs interface that leverages existing
firmware APIs for secure access.
Key Features:
- Dynamic register discovery using PM_QUERY_DATA API
* PM_QID_GET_NODE_COUNT: Query number of available registers
* PM_QID_GET_NODE_NAME: Query register names by index
- Automatic sysfs attribute creation under csu_registers/ group
- Read operations via existing IOCTL_READ_REG firmware API
- Write operations via existing IOCTL_MASK_WRITE_REG firmware API
- Firmware-enforced access control for read-only registers
Currently Supported Registers:
- multiboot (CSU_MULTI_BOOT): Boot mode configuration
- idcode (CSU_IDCODE): Device identification (read-only)
- pcap-status (CSU_PCAP_STATUS): PCAP status (read-only)
The sysfs interface is available at:
/sys/devices/platform/firmware:zynqmp-firmware/csu_registers/
Usage Examples:
Reading a register:
# cat /sys/devices/platform/firmware:zynqmp-firmware/csu_registers/idcode
Writing a register (mask and value in hex):
# echo "0xFFFFFFFF 0x0" > /sys/devices/platform/firmware:zynqmp-firmware/csu_registers/multiboot
Testing:
- Verified register read operations return correct values
- Verified write operations update registers correctly
- Verified read-only registers reject write attempts
- Verified dynamic discovery works with different firmware versions
