[GIT PULL 0/4] Renesas SoC updates for v7.1

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

	Hi SoC folks,

This is my first pull request for the inclusion of Renesas SoC updates
for v7.1.

It consists of 4 parts:

  [GIT PULL 1/4] Renesas ARM defconfig updates for v7.1

    - Refresh the ARM SH-Mobile defconfig for v7.0-rc1.

  [GIT PULL 2/4] Renesas driver updates for v7.1

    - Initial support for the Renesas RZ/G3L (R9A08G046) SoC.

  [GIT PULL 3/4] Renesas DT binding updates for v7.1

    - Document RZ/G3L SoC variants, the RZ/G3L SYSC block, and RZ/G3L
      SMARC SoM and Carrier-II EVK boards.

  [GIT PULL 4/4] Renesas DTS updates for v7.1

    - Add CPU frequency scaling and QSPI NOR FLASH support on the RZ/N1
      SoC and the RZN1D-DB development board,
    - Add PCIe slot power control on the R-Car H3, M3-W(+), M3-N, and E3
      SoCs,
    - Add USB3.0 PHY support on the R-Car E3 SoC and the Ebisu development
      board,
    - Add PCIe/USB3.0 clock generator support on the Salvator-X(S), ULCB
      King Fisher extension, and Ebisu development boards,
    - Add RTC support on the RZ/V2N SoC and its EVK board,
    - Add SPI DMA support on the RZ/T2H, RZ/N2H, RZ/V2H(P), and RZ/V2N
      SoCs,
    - Add support for the second SDHI channel on the Atmark Techno
      Armadillo-800-EVA board,
    - Miscellaneous fixes and improvements.

Note that the fourth PR is based on "[GIT PULL] Renesas SoC fixes for
v7.0".

Thanks for pulling!

This is DTS branch patch.

>       dt-bindings: soc: renesas: renesas,rzg2l-sysc: Document RZ/G3L SoC

This is drivers. Splitting it into additional branch is not making it
easier. I don't know where is this supposed to be merged. I will take it
to drivers, but in the future, please do not put DTS bindings into
driver bindings.

See also submitting patches in DT dir.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Next analysis tells me:

Days in linux-next:
----------------------------------------
 1 | ++ (2)
 2 | ++++++ (6)
 3 |
 4 |
 5 | ++++++++++++++++++++++ (22)

Please keep non-fix patches in the next for at least 3 next releases, so
you are sure any community tests/complains reached you. It is
unreasonable to expect that community will test your for-next patch
immediately the next day.

I merged other pulls but this one I will leave for few days more.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Also nothing explains me what is this, IOW, why this is not RC1. Pull
request email has place at the beginning where you explain such things
and I can easily locate or understand the base.

Ah... no one reads cover letters :) so I expected that information here,
before the pull boilerplate. I guess this depends on scripting, so it's
fine. I will look for cover letters in the future.

As I wrote above, it was also mentioned in the PR itself.

This is also a DT bindings patch.

DT bindings are soft dependencies for drivers and DTS.
DT binding definitions (I don't have any this time) are hard
dependencies for drivers, DTS, and examples and DT bindings.
Arnd merges dt-bindings PRs in the soc DTS branch.

> See also submitting patches in DT dir.

So the second commit is subject to II.3:

  3) For a series going through multiple trees, the binding patch should be
     kept with the driver using the binding.

In this particular case, I could have included it in my drivers branch.
Where do I put SoC-specific DT binding changes that are not picked
up by anyone else (I don't have any this time)?

Thanks!

That is correct: no replies from the pw-bot.
renesas-dts-for-v7.1-tag1 does not seem to be in soc/for-next yet,
perhaps you forgot to push? No need to confirm if that is true,
I'll notice tomorrow ;-)

I pushed for-next a bit after this email.

The workflow is far from optimal, because it has two stages:
1. Iterate over each pull email, check, merge and eventually push only
this branch,

2. Merge to for-next and document the merges for internal
accounting/tracing. I guess I could merge it after each stage (1) above.

The bigger problem is lack of replies from pw-bot.


@Konstantin,
I use modified Rob's script to go over patch/pull queue in Patchwork:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-soc/list/?state=*

I deal with them one-by-one, so when I finish merging, I want to be sure
that Patchwork status is updated, thus through the script I mark it
"Accepted".
Like this one:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-soc/patch/cover.1773399675.git.geert+renesas@glider.be/

Around then - can be just before or after - I push the updated branch to
git.kernel.org. I fear that because the pull is manually updated in
Patchwork to "Accepted", pw-bot ignores it and does not send the
notification.

Is it feasible to change pw-bot so it will notify even if it is marked
as "Accepted"? Or any ideas how to change the flow to have both:
A. pw-bot reply,
B. Be 100% sure that Patchwork status is updated (allow my manual update
via script)?


Best regards,
Krzysztof

I speak about branches. You quoted submitting patches in DT, but that is
implied. I already know it, I was making changes there and I already use
that document as arguments in multiple discussion, so please assume I
know it and my comments reflect that knowledge. I actually assumed that
you also knew it.

DT binding patch should go with the patch using the binding. So DT
binding for board is clearly a DTS branch patch.

But for which code? Driver or DTS?

Then this should not be a separate branch, because:

1. No benefits - you did not solve any soft dependency. Your DTS branch
is non-bisectable from dtbs_check point of view and you as maintainer of
that tree should try to make it bisectable, meaning: "bindings go before
user" like explained in what you quoted further.

And please also read rest of submitting patches, although it is in part
for "submitters" but explains the concept:

" 5) The Documentation/ portion of the patch should come in the series
before the code implementing the binding."

"6) Any compatible strings used in a chip or board DTS file must be
previously documented in the corresponding DT binding file"

Previously means "before", so your DTS branch is failing above.

2. It is additional effort to handle this, because instead of merging
one branch, I need to merge two.

What is "SoC-specific"? You put the DT binding with the user, that was
always the rule and that is implied by submitting patches. If you do not
have any user, why would you pick that up?

Actually I want to correct myself or explain more. If you document ABI
for existing driver with DTS user of the ABI, but without driver change,
e.g. new front compatible when using already documented fallback, I
would keep the change in the driver branch, even  though technically the
DTS is the user of new compatible. That is what I was always doing at least.

Why? Because I expect there might be a next patchset with binding+driver
adding new fallback to the same binding, which would have to go via
driver branch because of mentioned submitting patches rule. Therefore if
I put that first binding in DTS branch and in the future I want to put
next change in the driver branch I would have unnecessary conflicts.

Krzysztof

In my experience, the pw-bot reply always happens at the same time as
the update in the patchwork state, we either get both or nothing.

The way I've used it in the past was to let pw-bot handle the replies.
If anything was missing htere, I would know that I had to send a
manual reply and update the status.

I suspect that setting the status to Accepted first would stop this
from working, but right now the pwbot interaction appears to be
broken regardless of the status update, i.e. it only handles
patches but not pull requests at all.

Konstantin, this seems to have broken around the time you modified
pwbot to handle git:// URL rewrites earlier this year. Previously
it only ever caught commit messages that had the exact same URL
as the pull request message, IIRC you said that it should now handle
the case where a git:// URL gets turned into a https:// one, but
the actual result appears to be that no pull requests get matched
at all.

Right, this makes sense, though I've been rather relaxed about binding
updates in the past, merging them either through the soc/drivers
branches if they came with the driver changes, or through the soc/dt
branch otherwise.

Update: this one did get marked as 'Accepted' by pwbot, and
it sent the reply, so either it's back to working correctly,
or there is something else that makes it only work sometimes:
