[PATCH V2 0/3] Add support to disable UFS LPM

[Nitin Rawat]

Add support to disable UFS Low Power Mode (LPM) for platforms
that doesn't support LPM.

Changes in v2:
1. Addressed peter wang's comment to exclude write booster from
   ufs lpm check.
2. Addressed rob herring's comment to remove ufs lpm debug print
   in ufshcd-pltr.c

[PATCH V2 1/3] scsi: ufs: dt-bindings: Document UFS Disable LPM property

[Nitin Rawat]

Disable UFS low power mode on emulation FPGA platforms or other platforms
where it is either unsupported or power efficiency is not a critical
requirement.

Document the UFS Disable LPM property for such platforms.

Why wouldn't you like to test LPM also on FPGA designs? I do not see
here correlation.

That's a policy, not hardware, thus not suitable for DT.

Hi Krzysztof,

Since the FPGA platform doesn't support UFS Low Power Modes (such as the 
AutoHibern8 feature specified in the UFS specification), I have included 
this information in the hardware description (i.e dts).

Thanks,
Nitin

Hi Krzysztof,

Could you please share your thoughts on my above comment? If you still 
see concerns, I may need to consider other options like modparam.

I understand why you are inclining towards the module param here. Before
we take that route,

Is it possible to use a different compatible (for ex: qcom,sm8650-emu-ufshc) for UFS controller
on the emulation platform and apply the quirk in the driver based on the device_get_match_data()
based detection?

Thanks,
Pavan

Emulation platforms are generally not visible and not supported by the
upstream Linux kernel. During the bringup stage you can apply any kind
of quirks, but I don't think that FPGA or emulation are of concern to
the upstream kernel.

I do not get what are the benefits of upstreaming such patches. It feels
like you have some internal product, which will never be released, no
one will ever use it and eventually will be obsolete even internally. We
don't want patches for every broken feature or every broken hardware.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Hi Krzysztof,

Thank you for your review and opinions. I would like to clarify that 
this is a platform requirement rather than a broken feature. 
Additionally, there are few automotive targets, in addition to the FPGA 
platform, where Low Power Mode (LPM) is not a requirement. For these 
platforms, the LPM disable changes are currently maintained downstream.

My apology for not including the automotive requirements in my previous 
commit messages.

In my opinion, since these platforms do not support LPM, I requested 
that this be reflected in the hardware description (i.e. DTS)). However, 
I am open to suggestions and am willing to proceed with module 
parameters if you have concerns regarding the device tree.


Regards,
Nitin

And these platforms do not have their own SoC compatible? When you say
platforms, you mean SoC or boards? So many options... all this is so
unspecific, I need to dig every answer, every specific bit.

Module param will get other obstacles... We have lengthy discussion
because your commit msg explains nothing. Even now I still don't know
what do you mean by half of above statements. Use the wide upstream
terms, instead of ambiguous like "automotive platform".

It still looks like policy here. If this is soc specific, then I don't
get why SoC compatible would not be enough?

[PATCH V2 2/3] scsi: ufs: pltfrm: Add parsing support for disable LPM property

[Nitin Rawat]

There are emulation FPGA platforms or other platforms where UFS low
power mode is either unsupported or power efficiency is not a critical
requirement.

Add support for parsing disable LPM property from device tree . The
disable lpm support in devicetree is added through the "disable-lpm"
property for such platforms.

Disabling LPM ensure stable operation and compatibility with these
environments, where power management features might interfere with
performance or functionality.
