[PATCH] usb: xhci-pci: Raspberry Pi FW loader for VIA VL805

[PATCH] usb: xhci-pci: Raspberry Pi FW loader for VIA VL805

[Nicolas Saenz Julienne]

On the Raspberry Pi 4, after a PCI reset, VL805's firmware may either be
loaded directly from an EEPROM or, if not present, by the SoC's
VideCore.  Inform VideCore that VL805 was just reset, or defer xhci's
probe if not yet joinable trough the mailbox interface.

Based on Tim Gover's downstream implementation.

Can you just put #ifdefs in a .h file instead please?

So for non-rpi systems, this will work just fine, no need to #ifdef out
the whole function, right?

Why not put this whole function in some rpi-platform code?

Shouldn't the function print an error if there is one?

...you're right here, on non-rpi systems this will just return without errors.
On top of that, most VL805 users don't use device-tree, so it'll be fast.

I think moving it into firmware/raspberrypi.c should be acceptable. That said
I'd still be on the loose regarding the include file, and the platform specific
function call in xhci_pci_probe(). Any suggestions?
Note that it's important to us to be able to defer the probe as the firmware
inteface bringup might race with xHC's

Noted, I'll update that.

not sure, but there could be a corner case which should be handled
differently. In case the Raspberry Pi 4 has an EEPROM for the VL805
firmware but the firmware is too old to handle
RPI_FIRMWARE_NOTIFY_XHCI_RESET, we should return with 0. I don't know
there is a change to detect this reliable. I just want to mention this.

In past we updated the firmware mailbox property interface in a bunch as
a separate patch. So we can avoid those gaps.

Ouch, good point, that can be problematic. I'll test that scenario tomorrow.

Ok, I'll change that.

Would it work if you registered the firmware loading as pci fixup such
that you would not even have to mangle xhci-pci.c at all and all the
logic could be contained within drivers/firmware/raspberrypi.c?

Not that simple, PCI fix-ups don't allow for probe deferring. We depend on the
firmware and mailbox drivers to be up prior running this, so it's essential. We
could cheat and do the deferring first thing during pcie-brcmstb's probe.

Actually this might be a workable solution (as in upstreamable):
 - Wait for firmware to be up in pcie-brcmstb.c
 - Add firmware code in firmware/raspberrypi.c
 - Perform call in usb's quirk_usb_early_handoff() (usb/host/pci-quirks.c)

Nicolas

Humm, not a big fan of having to have pcie-brcmstb.c become aware of a
firmware loader, because this does not scale great over PCIe root
complex controller drivers for one and this is such a Pi4 (not even
2711) specialism that it feels a bit too much... might as well go with
your existing patch, just address Greg's feedback?

Or how about introducing a type of fixup that could trigger a probe
deferral?
