[PATCH v10 0/3] Raspberry Pi 5 RTC driver

[PATCH v10 0/3] Raspberry Pi 5 RTC driver

[Sander Speetjens]

The Raspberry Pi 5 has a battery-backed RTC located
on the DA9091 PMIC accessed via the I2C bus[1].
Access to the RTC is provided exclusively through the VideoCore firmware
mailbox interface (not via a direct I2C register interface).

As stated by jamesh on the Rasperry Pi forum [2],
"There are no plans to release a public datasheet for the DA9091."
So we are stuck with the firmware interface for now.
PhilE also states that "The firmware needs full control of the DA9091,
sometimes with extremely low latency,
otherwise there's a risk the supply could just cut the power."

This series adds:
  - a DT property for the charging voltage of the RTC battery
  - the RTC driver that talks to the firmware

The driver and binding are based on (and largely taken from) the
downstream Raspberry Pi kernel. The main changes for upstream are
the addition of a dt binding property for setting the charging voltage and
binding the driver from the raspberrypi-firmware driver instead of from
the DT.

The driver supports time read/write, alarm, and optional trickle
charging voltage configuration via the device-tree.

Testing
- Hardware: Raspberry Pi 5 Model B revC
- Kernel: v7.2
- dt_binding_check: passed
- Basic RTC operations (read/write time, alarm) verified

[PATCH v10 1/3] dt-bindings: rtc: Add missing type to trickle-voltage-millivolt

[Sander Speetjens]

The trickle-voltage-millivolt property had no associated type.
-millivolt is not a default property unit suffix, so the schema does
not automatically infer uint32. Explicitly reference the uint32
definition so the type is correctly declared.

[PATCH v10 2/3] dt-bindings: rtc: Add property for Raspberry Pi 5 RTC

[Sander Speetjens]

The Raspberry Pi 5 has a built-in RTC that can be battery-backed
via the VBAT pin. When a rechargeable coin cell is used, the
hardware requires a trickle-charge voltage to keep the battery
topped up.

Expose the trickle-voltage-millivolt DT property so the driver can
program the correct charge voltage for board specific configurations with
the attached battery.

The property is added to the existing raspberrypi,bcm2835-firmware
binding (rather than creating a new RTC node) because the RTC is
accessed exclusively through the firmware mailbox interface.
We only $ref the individual property from rtc.yaml and do not
reference the full schema, because the firmware node name does not
match the $nodename pattern required by rtc.yaml.

[PATCH v10 3/3] rtc: Add Raspberry Pi 5 RTC driver

[Sander Speetjens]

Upstreaming the downstream Raspberry Pi 5 RTC driver.
This driver supports the custom DA9091,
which is accessed through the firmware mailbox.

Based on code originally written by Jonathan Bell <jonathan@raspberrypi.com>
and Dom Cobley <popcornmix@gmail.com>

V9 -> V10:
- Fix sign-off-by
- Change enum to defines
- Change comment in firmware

V8 -> V9:
- Fix whitespace in Kconfig
- Move RTC regs to firmware header
- Add a warn when getting the min or max charging values fails
- Remove the unused return value of set charge voltage

V7 -> V8:
- Fix whitespacing errors
- Use of_machine_is_compatible instead of strncmp

V6 -> V7:
- Move from u32 array to struct
- Fix encapsulation as mentioned by sashiko-bot

V5 -> V6:
- Add MODULE_ALIAS, as mentioned by sashiko-bot
- Encapsulate the mailbox data in le32_to_cpu or cpu_to_le32, as
  mentioned by sashiko-bot. For good practice

V4 -> V5: No changes

V3 -> V4:
- Fix Kconfig depends that disallows having Raspberrypi
firmware built as a module while the rtc driver is built in
- Remove sysfs
- Add limits from firmware properties and check in rpi_rtc_set_charge_voltage

V2 -> V3:
- Move platform check to firmware and abort before registering
a platform device if on another platform
- Add a dependency on the Raspberry Pi firmware to Kconfig
- Check return value of devm_device_init_wakeup
- Fix property name

V1 -> V2:
Instead of the original driver, which was directly bound to the device tree.
This driver is bound to the Raspberry Pi firmware device by creating
a child device in the firmware driver probe function.
The child device is then bound to this driver,
which uses the firmware mailbox to access the RTC.

A couple of minor changes have been made to the driver since it was originally written, including:
- Checking if the model is a Raspberry Pi 5, as the RTC is only present on that model.
- Using the new devm_rpi_firmware_get() and devm_init_wakeup() helper to get the firmware device and avoid leaking memory.
- Using millivolts instead of microvolts for the trickle charge voltage, to match the RTC standard.
- Instead of setting the trickle charge voltage to 0 to disable trickle charging, the property is now optional. If the property is not present, trickle charging is disabled, per the RTC standard.
- Renaming the driver dt match compatible to "raspberrypi,firmware-rtc" to match the other firmware bindings.
- Renaming the driver name to "raspberrypi-rtc" to match the other firmware drivers.

in general this patch looks good except a few nits, maybe wait for 
Alexandre's feedback.
After fixing the nits you can add my:

Sorry for my misleading wording. I meant in this case 1 tab and align 
the rest with spaces just like the other.

Please try to keep the value order. I know it's already messed up, 
Gregor Herburger send a patch which already address the existing order 
("firmware: raspberrypi: reorder rpi_firmware_property_tag enum").

Re: [PATCH v10 3/3] rtc: Add Raspberry Pi 5 RTC driver

[Sander Speetjens]

Hi stefan,
I was thinking of making the raspberrypi.c firmware a speparate patch,
what would you think of this?
Because it overlays with another patch
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20260919034840.28593-2-triet.hoang.dev@gmail.com/)

Kind regards

AFAIK it's not your job to solve these conflicts and sending a separate 
patch wouldn't be a solution. The best way would be to get Triet's patch 
series applied first. Markus had a objection, which i don't understand. 
So I asked him for a explanation.

If you don't have a "raspberrypi,firmware-rtc" compatible this is not needed.
For the other drivers this is here because it needs to be compatible with old devicetrees.

I find the name vrtc confusing. It is probably a leftover of that above
mentioned rtc-meson-vrtc driver.

Without dt-compatible this is not needed. Checkpatch also complains about this
undocumented compatible string.

I think this should be:

static const struct platform_device_id raspberrypi_rtc_id[] = {
	{ "raspberrypi-rtc" },
	{ /* sentinel */ }
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(platform, raspberrypi_rtc_id);
This should also construct your alias and you can remove the MODULE_ALIAS.
