[PATCH 0/2] phy: qcom: usb-hs: add qcom,vendor-init-seq for raw ULPI writes

[PATCH 0/2] phy: qcom: usb-hs: add qcom,vendor-init-seq for raw ULPI writes

[Herman van Hazendonk]

The qcom,usb-hs-phy driver already supports qcom,init-seq for
board-specific ULPI initialisation, but the address field in that
property is always offset by ULPI_EXT_VENDOR_SPECIFIC.  That makes
it impossible to reach the standard ULPI vendor register range
(0x30-0x3f) where MSM8x60-class hardware keeps pre-emphasis, HS
driver slope, and CDR auto-reset bits.

PATCH 1/2 adds the DT binding: an optional "qcom,vendor-init-seq"
property carrying raw (addr, val) u8 pairs with no implicit offset.

PATCH 2/2 adds the driver support.  The new sequence is applied AFTER
reset_control_reset() so the values survive the register restore the
reset performs.  While refactoring the shared parse logic into a
single helper, two pre-existing bugs in the qcom,init-seq path are
also fixed: an odd byte count would previously silently drop the
trailing half-pair, and there was no upper bound on the
devm_kmalloc_array() allocation driven by the DT value.

[PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: phy: qcom,usb-hs-phy: add qcom,vendor-init-seq

[Herman van Hazendonk]

Add an optional "qcom,vendor-init-seq" property carrying raw ULPI
(address, value) pairs that are written after PHY reset.

Unlike the existing "qcom,init-seq" property, the address field is
NOT offset by ULPI_EXT_VENDOR_SPECIFIC, so the new property can
reach the standard ULPI vendor register range (0x30-0x3f). MSM8x60-
class hardware needs this range to programme pre-emphasis, HS driver
slope and CDR auto-reset bits the legacy msm_otg driver used to set
via platform data.

The "qcom,init-seq" path is left unchanged.

dt-bindings: phy: qcom,usb-hs-phy: add qcom,vendor-init-seq

This commit introduces the qcom,vendor-init-seq property to the Qualcomm
USB HS PHY binding. It allows passing raw ULPI (address, value) pairs to
be written after PHY reset, targeting the standard ULPI vendor register
range for MSM8x60-class hardware configuration.

[Severity: Low]
Since the sequence consists of (address, value) pairs, should this use
/schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint8-matrix instead of uint8-array?

Using a uint8-matrix with an inner items list would allow the dt-schema
validation tool to statically catch malformed properties that do not have
an even number of bytes. This would structurally enforce the two-byte tuple
layout before runtime, similar to the existing qcom,init-seq property.

Are those register writes specific to the device or to the whole
platform? In the latter case please extend the driver to write them.

Also please note that writing raw register values is generally frowned
upon in the upstream. It's not easy to follow those and not nice to
modify. Instead, if some the values are required for the particular
device, please add corresponding values to the DT using the
human-oriented values rather than the register values.

If you have questions regarding any of the bitfields, please ask here,
we can try finding the data for those.

[PATCH 2/2] phy: qcom: usb-hs: honour qcom,vendor-init-seq raw ULPI writes

[Herman van Hazendonk]

Add support for the optional qcom,vendor-init-seq DT property: a
list of u8 (addr, val) pairs written verbatim to raw ULPI register
addresses, rather than to ULPI_EXT_VENDOR_SPECIFIC + addr like the
existing qcom,init-seq sequence reaches. This lets boards reach the
standard vendor register range 0x30-0x3F where MSM8x60-era hardware
keeps pre-emphasis level / HS driver slope / CDR auto-reset, etc.

The new sequence is applied AFTER reset_control_reset() in
qcom_usb_hs_phy_power_on() so the values survive the register
restore the reset performs. The pre-existing qcom,init-seq is left
applied BEFORE the reset to preserve current behaviour for the
APQ8064/MSM8916 boards that already depend on it; an earlier review flagged
this ordering as a likely pre-existing bug, but blindly reordering
established behaviour for those boards is out of scope for this
patch and would risk regressing them.

While at it, harden the parse logic shared between qcom,init-seq
and qcom,vendor-init-seq:

  - Reject an odd byte count up-front rather than silently dropping
    the trailing byte and producing a half-pair the rest of the
    driver cannot describe.
  - Reject more than 32 bytes (the binding's maxItems) rather than
    making an unbounded devm_kmalloc_array() allocation driven by
    an untrusted-shaped DT property.

Factor the duplicated parse-and-allocate sequence into
qcom_usb_hs_phy_parse_init_seq() so both properties get the same
validation. The validation also fixes the pre-existing same bugs in
the qcom,init-seq parse path uniformly with the new property.

phy: qcom: usb-hs: honour qcom,vendor-init-seq raw ULPI writes

This patch adds support for the optional qcom,vendor-init-seq DT property
to write directly to raw ULPI register addresses. It also hardens the parse
logic shared between qcom,init-seq and qcom,vendor-init-seq by factoring it
out into qcom_usb_hs_phy_parse_init_seq().

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does using seq->addr == 0 as a sentinel
prevent writing to offset 0 in qcom,init-seq?

In qcom_usb_hs_phy_power_on(), the initialization loop terminates when
seq->addr is 0:

	for (seq = uphy->init_seq; seq->addr; seq++) {
		ret = ulpi_write(ulpi, ULPI_EXT_VENDOR_SPECIFIC + seq->addr,
				 seq->val);

Since seq->addr represents an offset added to ULPI_EXT_VENDOR_SPECIFIC
for qcom,init-seq, an offset of 0 is valid and maps to the first vendor
specific register. If a device tree specifies a write to offset 0, won't
the loop prematurely terminate and silently truncate the remainder of the
initialization sequence?

I commented on the bindings. Platform-specific values should be defined
in the driver. Device-specific valeus should use values rather than raw
register data.
