[PATCH 0/4] media: rc: sunxi-cir: support the A523/H728/T527 IR receiver

[Justin Suess]

This series adds support for the CIR receiver found in the Allwinner
A523/T527/H728 family (sun55i). The only board in this family that I
am in possession of that has the IR receiver is the x96qpro+, so it is
just enabled for that board. The Avaota A1 may have it, but I don't have
hardware to test, so it's just enabled on the x96qpro+ for now, but
left in the a523 DTSI for future use.

The sun55i family carries a newer revision of the sunxi CIR IP that is
not backwards-compatible with the prior hardware. So a new pulse
capture mode field in the control register resets to 0 by default,
which captures nothing, and the sample clock divider became selectable
instead of the fixed module clock / 64.

Solve this by adding the two new registers, enabling the setting of the
pulse capture mode register and the selection of the clock speed.

The new compatible is therefore added standalone, without the
usual sun6i-a31-ir fallback (it won't work).

Tested on an X96Q Pro+ (H728) TV box with the Google TV remote that
came in the box (using NEC keymap). Was able to press buttons and
get readings from lirc / ir-keytable.

The series is based on tag v7.2-rc1 on mainline.

[PATCH 1/4] media: dt-bindings: allwinner,sun4i-a10-ir: add A523 compatible

[Justin Suess]

The A523 (sun55i) contains a newer revision of the sunxi CIR receiver.
It is not backwards-compatible with the A31 programming model: the
control register has a pulse capture mode field (bits [7:6]) that
resets to a value which captures no pulses at all, and the sample
clock divider is now selectable via SPLCFG bits [1:0] instead of
being fixed at the old module clock / 64.

Since a kernel driving it as an A31 CIR receives nothing, add the
compatible as a standalone entry rather than under the
allwinner,sun6i-a31-ir fallback.

[PATCH 2/4] media: rc: sunxi-cir: add support for the A523

[Justin Suess]

The A523 (sun55i) has a newer revision of the CIR receiver IP. Two
register fields that do not exist on older SoCs must be programmed
for reception to work:

 - CTL bits [7:6] select which pulse polarities are captured into the
   RX FIFO. The reset value of 0 captures nothing, so program "both
   pulse" mode, which captures regardless of header polarity.

 - SPLCFG (the sample configuration register) bits [1:0] select the
   sample clock as a division of the module clock, replacing the
   fixed module clock / 64 sample rate of the older IP. Select
   module clock / 256, which together with the 24 MHz module clock
   used on the A523 gives a 10.7 μs sample period, close to the 8 μs
   of the previous 8 MHz / 64 configuration, and keeps the default
   125 ms idle timeout representable in the 8-bit idle threshold
   field.

Parameterize the sample divisor in the resolution/timeout
calculations, which older SoCs keep at the fixed 64, and add the
A523 quirks and compatible.

[PATCH 3/4] arm64: dts: allwinner: a523: add IR receiver node

[Justin Suess]

The A523 has a CIR receiver in the RTC power domain, clocked from the
R-CCU, with its RX signal available on PL11.

Clock the module directly from the 24 MHz host oscillator; the driver
selects a /256 sample divider on this SoC, giving a sample period
close to the legacy 8 MHz / 64 configuration of older SoCs.

Keep the node disabled by default; boards with an IR receiver can
enable it.

Are you sure about that? The manual says that *both* the 0b00 (reset
default) and 0b01 values capture both edges, and actually the H6, A133
and H616 have the same bits, and it apparently works there.

I don't see those bits documented in the A64 (and earlier), but haven't 
checked yet whether they exist there regardless or have an effect.
So I think we should force those bits either to 0 or to 1, depending on 
how those bits behave on A64 and before, and how compatible this is with 
H6, A133, H616. I will try to run some experiments on the weekend.

That's not fully correct: even the A20(!) has these two bits, actually
there is a third bit, held in bit 24 (because reasons). All those bits
reset to 0, which is encoded as /64, so this is where the rate comes
from. And sunxi_ir_probe() sets the IR clock to 8MHz, which should end
up as 24MHz / 3, on all chips, including the A523.

So what is going on here? Is the manual wrong, about those bits, or the 
clock sources?
Can you point to the BSP sources, if you used those?

>    module clock / 256, which together with the 24 MHz module clock

Why is the A523 mod clock set to 24 MHz? You seem to do this in the DT, 
overriding the 8MHz default? The driver clearly has a clk_set_rate() 
call with that default 8MHz as an argument, and I don't think we should 
deviate from that, unless there are good reasons. The sample clock 
should be more of a driver/subsystem decision, not a a device one.

This is some good info that helps people understand the reasoning behind 
those timing values. Please put this in a comment near the top of the file.
But actually: how does this compute? With an 8us sample clock period, 
the 8-bit ATHR field only covers 2 ms. And I don't see us setting the 
ATHC bit to bump this by 128.

Cheers,
Andre

As mentioned above, those bits exist in earlier IP as well. Typically 
non-implemented bits in Allwinner IP as RES0, so I think we can program 
them unconditionally (and should on H6/A133/H616) and don't need a 
quirks flag.

Same here: those bits exist back to the A20, even. And their meaning 
didn't change, if I see this correctly. So no quirk needed, instead we 
should program them explicitly to the value we want (probably 0).

> + * @sample_divisor: module-clock divisor that yields the sample clock; matches

That looks odd: why do we have that value in the first place? Following 
the things I mention above, the divisor shouldn't be different on the 
A523. And also, I think we should just do the math in the driver, and 
calculate the divisor, based on some timing requirement. Which could be 
something like: aim for a clock period of 8us. Though all the parameters 
seem to be stable: the 24 MHz OSC input, the dividers in the mod clock, 
and the post dividers in register 0x34. So there wouldn't be much of a 
calculation, really. But I still think the driver can figure this out 
itself, and doesn't need explicit telling of a divisor.

So I think we would need a separate patch to fix up driver operation 
before A523. Then the A523 bits should go on top of this. And maybe make 
this two patches, one for the edge sample bits, one for the clock 
calculation.

Cheers,
Andre
