[PATCH v4 2/4] mfd: lubbock_cplds: add lubbock IO board

[Robert Jarzmik]

Lubbock () board is the IO motherboard of the Intel PXA25x Development
Platform, which supports the Lubbock pxa25x soc board.

Historically, this support was in arch/arm/mach-pxa/lubbock.c. When
gpio-pxa was moved to drivers/pxa, it became a driver, and its
initialization and probing happened at postcore initcall. The lubbock
code used to install the chained lubbock interrupt handler at init_irq()
time.

The consequence of the gpio-pxa change is that the installed chained irq
handler lubbock_irq_handler() was overwritten in pxa_gpio_probe(_dt)(),
removing :
 - the handler
 - the falling edge detection setting of GPIO0, which revealed the
   interrupt request from the lubbock IO board.

As a fix, move the gpio0 chained handler setup to a place where we have
the guarantee that pxa_gpio_probe() was called before, so that lubbock
handler becomes the true IRQ chained handler of GPIO0, demuxing the
lubbock IO board interrupts.

This patch moves all that handling to a mfd driver. It's only purpose
for the time being is the interrupt handling, but in the future it
should encompass all the motherboard CPLDs handling :
 - leds
 - switches
 - hexleds

Since v1: change the name from cottula to lubbock_io
            Dmitry pointed out the Cottula was the pxa25x family name,
	    lubbock was the pxa25x development board name. Therefore the
	    name was changed to lubbock_io (lubbock IO board)
	  change the resources to bi-irq ioresource
	    Discussion between Arnd and Robert to change the gpio
	    request by a irq request.
Since v2: take into account Mark's review
      	    Use irq flags from resources (DT case and pdata case).

Are you sure this is what you want to do?  We don't usually support
'boards' per say.  Instead we support 'devices', then pull each of
those devices together using some h/w description mechanism.

Board files are so yesterday!

Besides, this is MFD, where we support single pieces of silicon which
happen to support multiple devices.  I definitely don't want to support
boards here.

You might want to re-think the naming and your (sales) pitch.

Why have you included this?  I don't see the use of the MFD framework
anywhere.  So what makes this an MFD?

I'm going to stop here, as I think I need more of an explanation so
what you're trying to achieve with this driver.

Do you know that :
 1) anything under "---" in a commit message is thrown away
 2) after v2, we _both_ agreed that the accurate name is "cplds"
    which exactly what is in this patch
    (see device registering with lubbock_cplds).
 3) there is no more mention of "board" anywhere in the patch core

I might need help. As for the (sales), no comment.

I thought cplds were to be handled by an MFD driver.

Why ? I think things were clear that this driver handles the CPLDs on
lubbock board, namely u46 and u52. I don't understand what is wrong
with this patch so that you don't want to go forward.

Yes.  But I don't remember reading this passage before.  Just becuase

There is no mention of this decision in the changelogs.  If it's not
in the change logs, it didn't happen. ;)

I'm still concerned with the fact that the driver file is named using
and is populated by lots of instances of a "board" name.  I'm sure you
would share my thoughts is someone submitted a driver called
beaglebone.c or raspberrypi.c to MFD.

No, just the name of one.

By pitch, I mean to convince me that this belongs in MFD.

Not to my knowledge, although we do appear to have one.  That doesn't
necessarily mean that it's the right place for it though.  I'm not
entirely sure how CPLDs even work on a functional level.

Understanding was lost when I learned that the whole file was centred
around the premise of board support.  I understand now that this is a
driver for a CPLD, which I'm not sure is even MFD.  Also, if it is
really a CPLD driver, shouldn't be named after the manufacturer/model
number of the chip, rather than the PCB which it's connected to?

I'm also concerned that this driver has no functional CPLD code
contained.  All you're doing is defining an IRQ domain.  Why then
isn't this really an drivers/irqchip (Suggested-by: Josh Cartwright)
driver?

I understand your concern. Arnd, a thought about it ? The only viable
alternative would be to move it to arch/arm/plat-pxa AFAIS.

Is not only a irqchip because, as explained at the bottom of the commit message,
quoting myself :
  This patch moves all that handling to a mfd driver. It's only purpose
  for the time being is the interrupt handling, but in the future it
  should encompass all the motherboard CPLDs handling :
   - leds
   - switches
   - hexleds

When these parts will be added, and they'll have to be handled by this driver
because of iospace sharing, and same IP (cplds) providing the hardware support,
the irqchip way will be just impossible to follow.

As I said above, I understand your concern. If we all reach a concensus this
should be moved to the pxa tree, so be it. But I'd like other opinion here.

Cheers.

Arnd, Greg,

  Perhaps you have some ideas WRT programmables (PLDs/CPLDs/FPGAs)?

Probably best to hold off your reply until you get home then.  It's
not just a formatting issue, you also exposed many raw email addresses
to the internet, which are easily harvested up by web crawlers.

I don't think this is correct either.  CPLD handling would probably be
slightly less out of place in drivers/misc, but perhaps a new
subsystem for PLDs/CPLDs/FPGAs would be more appropriate
drivers/programmables or similar maybe.

I'm pretty convinced that it doesn't belong in MFD now, but it doesn't
mean I'm going to leave you on the curb.  I'd like to help you get it
into a better home.

I had a conversation about this on IRC yesterday and some good
points/questions were posed.  This is a difficult area, because you
can program these things to do whatever you like.  Depending on the
'intention' (and it is only an intention -- someone else can come
along and reprogram these devices on a whim), the CPLD code could live
anywhere.  If you wanted to put watchdog functionality in there, then
there is an argument for it to live in drivers/watchdog, etc etc.  So
just because the plan is to support a few (i.e. more than one) simple
devices, it doesn't necessarily mean that the handling should be done
in MFD.

Yesterday I was asked "Are you wanting to restrict drivers in
drivers/mfd to those that make use of MFD_CORE functionality?".  My
answer to that was "No, however; I only want devices which
_intrinsically_ operate in multiple subsystems", which these
programmables no not do.

FYI, you're not on your own here.  There is at least one of these
devices in the kernel already and upon a short inspection there
appears to be a number of Out-of-Tree (OoT) drivers out there which
will require a home in Mainline sooner or later.

FWIW...

The Lubbock is an ancient development board (circa 2003) using a CPLD to 
multiplex a couple things on the board.  I really doubt anyone would 
reprogram this CPLD at this point. So I'd treat it just like another 
interrupt controller + random peripherals that will never change.  And 
yes, maybe a more appropriate name is needed.

And I happen to have one such beast on my desk wasting significant 
realestate and picking up dust.  I don't think I booted it even once in 
the last 3 years.  I'm seriously considering a trip to the recycling 
facility to dispose of it unless someone wants it and is ready to pay 
for the shipping.

Understood.  However, I'm tempted to occupy some higher ground here
and say that there will always be (good?) excuses to shoehorn drivers
into subsystems which they don't truly belong.  Rather than make
exceptions I'd rather see an implementation which would also serve
subsequent attempts to upstream these types of devices.

Hi Arnd and Greg,

I have this driver I'm upstreaming, which comes out of
arch/arm/mach-pxa/lubbock.c. As for the reason it is extracted, see submitted
commit [1] for reference.

The main question is : where does it belong in the kernel ?

The driver is :
 - for the CPLDs on the Lubbock development platform, which is more or less an
   old motherboard for Intel Xscale pxa255 SoC (see [2] for more details)
 - these CPLDs control :
   - interrupt muxing towards the SoC
   - several leds
   - switches read back
   For the whole patch, see [4]

Lee's position is that it doesn't belong to drivers/mfd, see [3].

So where should I submit it ? And more generally, where should CPLDs drivers be
pushed in the kernel tree ?

If there is no solution, I'll fallback through arch/arm/plat-pxa, not very nice,
but it has to land somewhere, I don't want lubbock to remain broken.

Cheers.

[1] Reason of extraction / commit message
    mfd: lubbock_cplds: add lubbock IO board
    
    Lubbock () board is the IO motherboard of the Intel PXA25x Development
    Platform, which supports the Lubbock pxa25x soc board.
    
    Historically, this support was in arch/arm/mach-pxa/lubbock.c. When
    gpio-pxa was moved to drivers/pxa, it became a driver, and its
    initialization and probing happened at postcore initcall. The lubbock
    code used to install the chained lubbock interrupt handler at init_irq()
    time.
    
    The consequence of the gpio-pxa change is that the installed chained irq
    handler lubbock_irq_handler() was overwritten in pxa_gpio_probe(_dt)(),
    removing :
     - the handler
     - the falling edge detection setting of GPIO0, which revealed the
       interrupt request from the lubbock IO board.
    
    As a fix, move the gpio0 chained handler setup to a place where we have
    the guarantee that pxa_gpio_probe() was called before, so that lubbock
    handler becomes the true IRQ chained handler of GPIO0, demuxing the
    lubbock IO board interrupts.
    
    This patch moves all that handling to a mfd driver. It's only purpose
    for the time being is the interrupt handling, but in the future it
    should encompass all the motherboard CPLDs handling :
     - leds
     - switches
     - hexleds

Ah, that's bad :)

> And I'm not the mfd maintainer...
I know. The question was for the "all drivers" maintainer ... ie. you.

The question was where should CPLD drivers end up, given that the mfd maintainer
pushed back.

Yet I understand you're overflowed, and I'll take it into arch/arm/plat-pxa. I
don't think it's the right place, but it's my only fallback.

Cheers.

Most certainly.

I'll submit that to drivers/platform/arm/pxa, and maintain that pxa tree. As for
drivers/platform/arm, do you want also maintainers to step up, or will you take
the review/merge burden ?

I have enough review/merge burden to do anything with ARM, sorry.

I'd much prefer not to add drivers/platform/arm, which would make it too easy
to add random stuff there. What is the problem with leaving it in mach-pxa?

Hi Arnd,

It's not as much a problem as a generic question : does a driver belong to
arch/* ?

Personaly it would have been far simpler for me to have it through the pxa tree,
but I want to be sure it's the right place. Others will follow, pxa mainstone is
such a candidate.

I was thinking so far that arch/arm/mach-* was for machine description,
ie. wirings, interconnections, initial setup etc ... The "driver" part, ie. code
really driving dynamics in IPs was as per my understanding in drivers/...

Now I can create arch/arm/mach-pxa/lubbock_cplds.c, that won't make any
difference to me, provided that it's the right thing to do.

Cheers.

If we had a lot of these, we would probably put them somewhere under drivers.
and find a maintainer for them. Given that this is an exceptional case for
an older machine, my feeling is that leaving the code in mach-pxa is the least
effort for now.

[PATCH v4 3/4] ARM: pxa: lubbock: use new lubbock_cplds driver

[Robert Jarzmik]

As the interrupt handling was transferred to the lubbock_cplds driver,
make the switch in lubbock platform code.

Since v1: change the name from cottula to lubbock_io
            Dmitry pointed out the Cottula was the pxa25x family name,
	    lubbock was the pxa25x development board name. Therefore the
	    name was changed to lubbock_io (lubbock IO board)
	  change the resources to bi-irq ioresource
	    Discussion between Arnd and Robert to change the gpio
	    request by a irq request.
Since v3: rename lubbock_io into lubbock_cplds
