[PATCH v1 0/2] Add StarFive SAR-ADC driver

[PATCH v1 0/2] Add StarFive SAR-ADC driver

[Xingyu Wu]

Hi all,

This series adds an IIO ADC driver for the controller of StarFive
Successive Approximation Register A/D converter (SAR-ADC).

The StarFive SAR-ADC is a 12-bit converter with up to 8 input channels
and a fixed 1.8V reference domain. The driver provides raw and processed
voltage readouts via IIO, runtime PM support, and threshold-based
voltage monitoring.

Tested on StarFive JHB100 EVB with all ADC channels and monitor
interrupt path.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Low] Typo in the `reg` property schema keyword where `maxItem` is used instead of `maxItems`.
- [Low] Hardware-specific properties `upper-bound-mv`, `lower-bound-mv`, and `scan-freq` lack a vendor prefix.
- [Low] The `resets` property allows 2 items but does not document their order or meaning.

This isn't a bug, but should this be maxItems instead of maxItem? The
dt-schema validator might silently ignore the unrecognized keyword, allowing
nodes with multiple reg entries to pass validation.

When allowing multiple reset lines, should the binding define their expected
order and meaning? Usually, this is done by providing an items list with
descriptions for each entry, or by defining a corresponding reset-names
property.

Since these appear to be custom, hardware-specific properties, should they be
prefixed with the vendor string (e.g., starfive,upper-bound-mv) to prevent
future namespace collisions with generic properties?

Can you explain why any of these three properties are something that
should be in the devicetree rather than software controlled?

How are the bounds calculated?

Given the warnings etc,

My intention is to be able to obtain the initial values from the devicetree during probe and preset them.
Do I need to drop them and just set them through sysfs?

The measurement range of this ADC hardware is from 0 to 1800 mV. This set value cannot exceed it. This explanation will be added later.

Unless the hardware configuration determines the values (which I can't
really see being the case for scan-freq at least) then yes, you need to
drop and set them via sysfs.

I'm asking how this is calculated so that I can tell if you the property
is permitted or not.

The ADC hardware can be set the scan-freq register to determine how frequent it should scan its inputs.
The calculation is:
	frequency = 100/((register value) + 5) MHz, The register value should >= 15.
The maximum allowable scan frequency is 5MHz.

The calculation of bound is:
bound-mv = 1800mv * (register value) / 0xFFF

These are the formulas, but how does someone know what the value for
bound-mv needs to be? Why would someone not just want to always use
1800mv?

Can I add the 'maximum' and ' minimum' to provide clarification? And the driver will also check.

All that does is repeat the 1800 mV though, what I am interested in is
how someone determines if they should use 1600 mV or 200 mV etc. What
aspect of the hardware do the bounds depend on?

These bounds are just for the monitor mode. If the input voltage is outside this range, interrupt will be triggered to report the user space.
The bounds value (1600mv or 200mv) are determined by the users' applications. Users can freely set them according to the range they want to monitor.

There are two options here 
1. This is critical stuff to avoid hardware damage. (If you are relying on
   Linux for that you built your system wrong but if we ignore that...)
   Then userspace control should not be possible - or at least should
   only be able to move boundaries in directions that make them tighter.
2. It is advisory only and not related to hardware damage - in that case
   generally doesn't belong in DT.

Per Xingyu's latest response
| These bounds are just for the monitor mode. If the input voltage is outside this range, interrupt will be triggered to report the user space.
| The bounds value (1600mv or 200mv) are determined by the users' applications. Users can freely set them according to the range they want to monitor.
it controls the level at which interrupts occur, and is therefore not
suitable for DT.

OK, I will drop them in DT and use IIO event to set them in driver by user.

Far as I can tell this stuff is boot script / udev rule stuff - doesn't
belong in DT.

I have suspected this to be the case, but I have been giving the

Please use subject prefixes matching the subsystem. You can get them for
example with `git log --oneline -- DIRECTORY_OR_FILE` on the directory
your patch is touching. For bindings, the preferred subjects are
explained here:

[PATCH v1 2/2] iio: adc: Add StarFive SAR-ADC driver

[Xingyu Wu]

Add a new IIO ADC driver for the StarFive JHB100 SAR ADC controller.

The hardware provides 12-bit conversion precision and up to 8 input
channels. This driver supports single-shot channel reads and exposes
standard IIO interfaces for raw ADC values, processed voltages, and
scale reporting. The driver also supports channel monitor mode with
out-of-bound detection and scan frequency configuration.

Seems like this is just dust off code from ca 2020, as it uses sometimes
quite old APIs (no driver uses in the past few years in IIO!).
This needs much more work, please take your time to go via existing IIO
drivers that were submitted and accepted in 2025/2026 and take them as
examples (may be not the best, but good enough) and update your code
accordingly. Note, reviewing others' patches may help a lot to get
your knowledge up-to-date.

This is so ugly! Use your common sense and see tons of the examples around (the
more recent driver is the average better the code is).

Use `pahole` to check the layout, also shuffle members to see what
`bloat-o-meter` says about the resulting binary (for example, moving 'dev' up
might give less code).

So long sleeps must be explained (in the code comments with the reference to

Re: [PATCH v1 2/2] iio: adc: Add StarFive SAR-ADC driver

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 9 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] System crash due to requesting IRQ before enabling hardware clocks.
- [High] IRQ handler unconditionally returns IRQ_HANDLED without clearing interrupts, leading to infinite IRQ storms.
- [High] Clock reference count underflow due to incompatible mixing of devres and manual clock management.
- [High] Missing cleanup for runtime PM and shared resets in error and removal paths.
- [High] Data race on the `SARADC_IRQ_EN_ST` register causes lost interrupt enables.
- [High] Active hardware monitor is not stopped during device removal.
- [High] Lockless sysfs store functions cause data corruption and IRQ storms.
- [Medium] Multiple IIO ABI violations regarding standard events and data units.
- [Medium] Silent failure on ADC read timeouts.

Could this race with the interrupt handler? The hardirq handler reads and
writes back to SARADC_IRQ_EN_ST to clear status bits without holding locks.
If this thread context reads, modifies, and writes the register, could the
hardirq handler concurrently write back a stale value and overwrite the
interrupt enable bits set here?

Does this need to hold priv->lock? The starfive_saradc_ch_upper_bound_set
function performs a read-modify-write on shared hardware registers, which
might allow concurrent sysfs writes to corrupt the bounds.

Does this update priv->mon_ch without acquiring priv->lock? If the channel
is changed while the monitor is active, could the IRQ handler check the
wrong bit, fail to clear the interrupt, and trigger an infinite IRQ storm?

Should this driver use standard IIO events (IIO_EV_TYPE_THRESH) instead of
introducing custom sysfs attributes for threshold monitoring?

If the poll times out, this sets tmp to 0 and returns it. Will this result
in starfive_saradc_read_raw passing 0 to userspace as a valid ADC reading
instead of propagating an error code like -ETIMEDOUT?

Does this calculate the scale to expose Volts instead of millivolts? The
calculation yields 439 instead of 0.439453, meaning users multiplying raw
data by the exposed scale will get Volts. This violates the IIO user-space
ABI requirement of millivolts.

Similarly, IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED appears to be formatting the value as
fractional Volts rather than millivolts.

If priv->mon_working is false, or if the interrupt bit is not set, this
returns IRQ_HANDLED without clearing the hardware interrupt status bits.
Since the interrupt is requested with IRQF_TRIGGER_HIGH, won't failing to
clear the source while returning IRQ_HANDLED cause the interrupt controller
to immediately re-trigger, resulting in an infinite IRQ storm?

Are the default Device Tree bounds being parsed into microvolts here but
exposed to sysfs where users expect millivolts?

Since the IRQ is requested before the clock is enabled, could a pending or
spurious interrupt fire immediately upon registration? If the handler
executes and accesses the clock-gated MMIO register, it could cause a
synchronous external abort or bus stall.

If devm_iio_device_register fails, this returns the error without calling
pm_runtime_disable. Does this leave the PM framework active on freed
devres memory?

Additionally, the shared reset line is deasserted here, but
reset_control_assert is never called in the error paths or in
starfive_saradc_remove. Could this permanently leak the shared reset line's
reference count and prevent the hardware block from ever being reset again?

If continuous monitor mode is enabled (priv->mon_en = true), the hardware
is actively sampling and generating interrupts. Does this leave the monitor
running and the interrupt unmasked when the driver unbinds, potentially
causing bus lockups when devres subsequently disables the clock?

The clock is acquired via devm_clk_get_enabled in probe, which queues an
automatic disable. Here, the driver manually manages the clock. If the
driver is unbound while the device is runtime-suspended, devres will
execute its queued clk_disable_unprepare. Will this drop the enable
count below zero, causing a kernel warning and resource tracking
corruption?

The function "starfive_saradc_monitor_enable()", which call this, already hold the lock.

Will add the lock.

Thanks for your reminder. I will add the check about the status of monitor.
If it is not working, we can change the priv->mon_ch.

We hope to measure in millivolts to reduce the large errors caused by microvolts.

Your concern is correct. I will disable monitor and power down device when driver is removed.

Hi

Welcome to IIO.
As Andy indicated there is quite a lot of work to do here.
As such I did a quick review, but a lot of the code will change anyway
as a result of ripping out the custom ABI and the dt-binding changes
requested.

SARADC is a common name, so prefix macros etc with something related
to starfive.

These helpers don't really help much. I'd just put the readl/writel inline
where it's needed.

Look at IIO event support and use that. I'm not seeing anything
in here that should be provided as custom attributes.

Basic rule is that if you add any custom attributes your driver
will get a lot more push back. Key is that
custom attributes == no userspace support in standard code == not much used.

Generally just return -EBUSY for this - no print because otherwise you provide
a userspace path to spam the kernel logs. If a print is really needed it should
be rate limited.

Prefer FIELD_GET() for all value extraction.

guard() and acquire for PM (see below).
But try to do these in the same order in all functions. Makes reasoning
about what is protected simpler.  Normally I'd turn the power on first
as that is reference counted anyway so doesn't need to be under the lock.

As below. the call that failed doesn't have side effects on failure so this
smells like an underflow.

Don't provide both processed and raw for a channel.

If the transform is linear then _raw + _scale if not then _processed.

guard()

How would we get here?  If it's a race on shut down of events then normally
we wouldn't worry as that's just precise timing of disable vs this thread
running.

We have the IIO events infrastructure to report these to userspace. Use it
or drop this. dev_err is not a valid way to report this sort of threshold
events.

Why stop it?  Add a comment.  We aren't interested in future events?

How do we hit this condition? If it's a race thing then add a comment
on what that race is. If it's not our interrupt then return IRQ_NONE.

This will probably go away anyway but comments inline for future reference.

Use property.h accessors for new drivers, not the of_ones.
They are cleaner and maybe this driver will one day be used with other firmware
types.  Also I don't want of specific code in IIO drivers because it gets cut
and paste into others where another firmware type is actually likely.

If DT provide an invalid input fail to probe. We need that fixed.
If it was a missing property then current convention is to use a check on the property
existing as a separate call before reading it.  That provides neater error handling.


Mind you as per he discussion in that dt-binding thread this is going away.

Why? It failed so we should not have a refcount to drop.

In combination with  the acquire mentioned above, use a guard() for the mutex.

Worth using a local struct device.
e.g.
	struct device *dev = &pdev->dev;
just to shorten the various lines where it's used.

This print is a noop for -ENOMEM so don't bother having it.
	if (!indio_dev)
		return -ENOMEM;

One line. Note that going slightly over 80 chars is fine if it helps
readability. I think this one is just under 80 anyway.

Trigger direction should come from DT.  So don't set it here.
We do this historically in some drivers and can't fix it now because some
board might rely on it.  Don't introduce it in a new driver.

As sashiko pointed out this might result in a clock underflow.  Fixing
that the mess of devm + runtime pm and working out general patterns is
still a work in progress. For now maybe just check if you get such a warning.

This is out of order wrt to the setup in probe.   I suspect you can use
devm_pm_runtime_enable() instead and drop remove entirely.

Having a function called pwr_on() is missleading given you use it
to turn the power off. Rename it simply pwr() Or consider if it is
worth having the helper at all as it's very small and maybe having
the code inline is simpler.

slight preference for

	int ret;

	ret = clk_prepare_enable(priv->clk);
	if (ret)
		return ret;

as it keeps the set of ret and it's check right next to each other.

fsleep() preferred. Takes time in usecs but the point is it will use
the generally right call for whatever the sleep is. That means readers
don't have to think about it. See the docs for the implementation of fsleep()
for more info on how it decides whether to call msleep or not.

If possible reference a datasheet section / table or similar for this sleep
length.  That is helpful if turns out to be too short on some device in
the future.

common practice to not have a blank line here. Dropping it makes
a clear association between the struct platform_driver and the macro
that uses it.

If we do not stop it and the input voltage remains constant, the ADC could continuously monitor the voltage and continuously trigger interrupts for the bound.
As a result, the CPU utilization rate will be high.

Can you use an edge interrupt instead of a level one?

If not, then a common solution is to disable for a period (maybe a second
or so) then reenable. There are various more refined ways of doing this.

Basically we don't want to be in a situation where a momentary blip
disables the event and we miss a later condition that must be handled.

Thanks,

No, it is a level interrupt in hardware.

This is good idea. How about using timer to disable it?

Just to check. That's a restriction of the interrupt controller IP in that
it doesn't support edge interrupts on this particularly line?
Seems unfortunate given the block on the other end is providing something
that seems like an edge :(  Ah well - hardly the first time we've hit that.
Add some comments to the code when you add the timer approach to
re enabling.

yes, there are examples in tree doing that.

Take a look at the AI bot feedback.

It won't necessarily all be correct but the hit rate tends to be good.
