[PATCH v2 1/2] drivers/watchdog: Add optional ASPEED device tree properties

[Christopher Bostic]

Describe device tree optional properties:

  * aspeed,arm-reet - ARM CPU reset on signal
  * aspeed,soc-reset - SOC reset on signal
  * aspeed,sys-reset - System reset on signal
          Disabling system reset may be required in situations where
          one of the other watchdog engines in the system is responsible
          for this.
  * aspeed,interrupt - Interrupt CPU on signal
  * aspeed,external-signal - Generate external signal (WDT1 and WDT2 only)
  * aspeed,alt-boot - Boot from alternate block on signal

Is that a bit mask or a value ? I would have thought that,
for example, a complete system reset would include the SoC reset,
and a SoC reset would include the ARM reset. Generating an
interrupt while at the same time resetting the system (or
part of it) doesn't seem to make much sense either.

No these aren't bitmasks.   The example was intended to indicate what 
could be used.
In practice only a subset of each of these properties would make any 
sense.   How
would you suggest the example be formatted to convey that? Multiple examples
I suppose.

I would just pick one (which is perfectly fine). After all, it is an example.

Reminds me: Is there a default (eg the chip's default configuration) ?
In other words, what is expected to happen if none of the properties
is specified ?

Default was to enable SOC reset (parameter aspeed,soc-reset)  and system 
reset (aspeed,sys-reset).  Based on your comments in patch v2 2/2 it 
would be necessary for backwards compatibility to preserve that default 
behavior.  So it seems the optional parameters should be inverted for 
these:   no-soc-reset, no-sys-reset.

I don't really understand what you are trying to say, sorry. no-sys-reset would
enable everything but sys-reset, and one would have to specify a lot of no-xxx
to select the one that is needed ? And not specifying anything would select
everything ? That sounds just weird.

I still don't see the problem with having a default.

engines.  Set external signal mode on timeout if specified.
Set system reset on timeout if specified.

For backward compatibility, this should default to WDT_CTRL_RESET_SYSTEM
if no optional property is provided.

I had the logic inverted for this property in a previous patch.  The 
property was 'no-system-reset' so that when not present the default was 
to set WDT_CTRL_RESET_SYSTEM.   As it is in this patch, the only way to 
indicate that no system reset is to be done is to not specify the 
property.  No system reset is desired under circumstances when another 
wdt engine is to be responsible for this.   Given the issue with 
backward compatibility that's not a solution.  Given this, would 
creating a property 'no-system-reset' be acceptable?

Chris

Sorry, I fail to see the problem. There are half a dozen properties. What is the
problem with having a default if no property is specified ? Your default is "do
nothing", which does not really make any sense to me. If the user wants the
watchdog to do nothing, the simple means to accomplish that would be to not
instantiate it.

Sure, that means specifying "system-reset" is redundant, but I don't see a
problem with that either. But I do see a problem with loading a watchdog driver
that doesn't do anything.

If there is really some use case where it makes sense to load a watchdog driver
and have it do nothing, please explain and provide a respective devicetree
property. "aspeed,do-nothing" (or whatever similar) doesn't sound good, but
at least makes it obvious that the driver isn't doing anything besides
creating a false sense of "the system is watchdog protected".

Thanks,
Guenter

If system-reset is not wanted there are other properties that might 
still be needed, for example
ARM reset only.   We'd still want to instantiate it.

But then you would presumably specify that property, so there would be one.
The question here is what to do if _no_ property is provided.

Sorry, I don't get your point.

I agree that the default should be to perform a system reset  when no 
property is provided.  I will make that change.   Additionally for 
backwards compatibility the SOC reset should be enabled by default when 
no property is provided.   The other parameters are not configured in 
the watchdog control register if no property is provided.

There is still a need to to configure for no system reset.  For example, 
optional parameter 'aspeed,no-sys-reset' that can be specified if system 
reset is to be disabled.  In addition the default 'SOC reset enabled' 
behavior could be disabled with an optional parameter 'aspeed,no-soc-reset'.

Why would there even be a need configure for no system reset?  The 
external mode 'wdt ext: External signal enable after timeout' can be 
sent off chip even if system reset is disabled.  The watchdog is doing 
something in this case and would require wdt instantiation.

Hope this is more clear, sorry for the confusion.

Wouldn't that be "aspeed,external-signal" ?

Yes that optional parameter would need to be specified in that

Ok, makes sense (after looking into the datasheet). The missing detail
is that there is a separate configuration bit for "Reset system after
timeout", which is set in addition to reset_{sys,soc,arm}.
