Yeah I think I noticed an error like that shows up with 32-bit builds?
In any case we didn't see it during development, and we'll make sure
<linux/bitfield.h> gets included.

Thanks.

on x86 it hits on all configs, I suspected you're building for ARM?

Yes.  I'll spend a little more time trying to build on other
architectures.  I normally like to add COMPILE_TEST.

Hi Alex,

In your Kconfig changes, this condition 'if TOSHIBA_TC956X_PCI' is dead
code. Since you have the dependency on TOSHIBA_TC956X_PCI, you can just
make the 'default m' unconditional - assuming this is what you intended.

Perhaps you would prefer to use 'default TOSHIBA_TC956X_PCI', which
would have GPIO_TC956X default to 'm' or 'y' when TOSHIBA_TC956X_PCI is
'm' or 'y', respectively.

You're right.  I'm returning the result of regmap_update_bits()
from two callback functions.  But yes, this is an MMIO regmap.

I will return 0 and ignore the return value of regmap_update_bits()
in those spots, and will add some comments that make it clear that
this is an MMIO regmap.

I hadn't noticed that.  We're only using the GPIO chip data

There's a minor typo in the PHY name - QCS8081 instead of QCA8081.

Wow, that's important...  Fortunately we haven't been getting errors.

OK, I'll fix that too.  Thanks a lot Ayaan.

I'm not sure I'd call it "dead" but you're right, it's not
necessary because it already depends on that symbol.

Yeah that might be better.  I'd like to eventually include
COMPILE_TEST as well, and that might need the "if" on the
default.  I'll find out whenever I test that.

This GPIO feature should still be a module even if
TOSHIBA_TC956X_PCI is y, because it's not always
necessary to enable the GPIO driver (depending on
how devicetree defines the PHY resets).

So:  In drivers/gpio/Kconfig it will be "default m", and
for drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/Kconfig it will be
default TOSHIBA_TC956X_PCI (at least for now).

Thanks a lot for the suggestion.

Yes you're right, though the PCIe power controller functions
before the PCIe switch is enabled, and uses I2C to communicate
with the host.

You are touching on an issue we have faced since we started on
this earlier in the year.  Our objective was to enable the eMACs,
but there was no device representing the "chip" (which holds the
switch and the GPIO controller, etc.).  The TC956x is more than
just a PCIe switch, and more than just two Ethernet MACs.  The
vendor code handles some of this between PCIe functions with
some reference counting and perhaps other things.

Eventually we settled on the model we have presented, which
creates a device for each function and lets one of them take
care of common "chip" things (including creating the GPIO
auxiliary device).  The function device driver creates a
new auxiliary device to represent the MAC for each function.

I also considered modeling the TC956x as a remoteproc, but have
been reluctant to really pursue that.

I'm no PCI expert either, but I'm learning.

I considered that, but opted not to mess with the PCIe power controller
driver.

It's only asserting resets in the RB3gen2, so I don't the speed is a
major factor.

REGMAP_GPIO can handle all of this for you with the right
parameterization, study the drivers using this already such as
those that appear when you type
git grep 'gpio\/regmap\.h'

That's good use of this facility.

I would say the chip has 64 lines and just
bitmap_clear(valid_mask, 37, 64 - 37);
but that's your pick. This probably works too.

regmap-gpio can't currently handle selective input-only or
output-only lines, but we can
very easily make it.

So I sent a patch for that (now in your inbox).

Check if this fixed_direction_sparse bitmap will do the trick
for you and provide Tested-by if it does, thanks!

Thank you for your excellent feedback.  I will plan to use
regmap-gpio (already suggested strongly by Andrew Lunn) and
that will be included in the next version of the series.
Once I've done this and tried your other patch I'll provide
a Tested-by for it.

I don't have any concern with the use of a proper gpio driver to model
the implementation, but if I understand correctly this relationship
between gpio controller and gpio consumer is strictly internal to "the
PCI device".

Is this connection variable or is the link merely expressed in
DeviceTree to mitigate the fact that you choose to implement the
responsibilities of the two parts split into two device drivers?

Are there other consumers of these TC956x gpios which would result in a
board designer (and hence dts author) to ever reference this
gpio-controller in a different way?

Bjorn

(I think you're already cool with this but I still wanted to respond.)

That is not correct.  These GPIO lines are used two ways for the
RB3gen2:
- drivers/pci/pwrctrl/pci-pwrctrl-tc9563.c uses GPIOs 2 and 3 to
   assert/deassert the reset lines associated with the two exposed
   downstream PCIe ports on the PCIe switch within the TC956x.

- Each of the Ethernet PHYs has a reset GPIO.  On the RB3gen2, the
   GPIOs used for the purpose come from the GPIO controller embedded
   in the TC9564 (00 and 01).

These are therefore "exposed" (they are *not* strictly internal).

> Is this connection variable or is the link merely expressed in
> DeviceTree to mitigate the fact that you choose to implement the

It is variable.  These resets might be implemented by other GPIO
controllers on other platforms.

> gpio-controller in a different way?

They could.  Nine of these GPIOs are exposed by the TC956x pins
(GPIO00-06, GPIO12, GPIO35 and GPIO36).  The RB3gen2 uses 00-03
(and possibly 04 but that's for a PHY we haven't tested yet).

That would be due to the error sashiko pointed out. 'pci' is for PCI
bridges (host or PCI-PCI).
