I don't think you need this. If you include DRM headers you should be
prefixing them with drm/ anyway.

I prefer these to be sorted alphabetically.

This is somewhat odd. I'll try to make some suggestions later on on how
to possibly improve on this.

These bits are also mirrored in the status register, so "mask" isn't
entirely accurate.

I think for these it's safe to leave out the _MASK suffix since they
are really just individual bits in the interrupt registers.

You should be using tabs and spaces more consistently. The general rule
of thumb is to indent using tabs and use spaces only to pad and align.

What's an AWG?

It's more typical to avoid this kind of forward declaration. Instead you
can move the vtg_match_types table right before the first reference
(i.e. vtg_compositor_probe()). Also _types is an odd suffix. Maybe
vtg_of_match?

The primary reason why I dislike this is that it requires you to clutter
your code with conditionals as to the type of VTG. On the other hand, if
you can expose both master and slave VTGs as separate devices you can
handle them more uniformly.

It seems to me like a better representation might be to split this into
two separate devices, one being the master, the other the slave. That
only works if the register spaces are reasonably well separated.

This can't fail, so no need to make it return an int. Also I think this
would be more consistent if it took a struct sti_vtg * instead of a
pointer to the registers.

Maybe this should be exposed via debugfs?

Perhaps this should be called something like vtg_set_mode() since it's
evidently doing a whole lot more than just writing a register. Also it
should take a struct sti_vtg *, in which case you can leave drop the
type parameter as well.

These should be u32. And you can probably get away with just a single
one.

Does the ordering matter here? Otherwise the writes of the same value
could be moved together and save a register.

It's somewhat odd that many of these TOP/BOT pairs are written with the
same values, but since I have no idea what each of them is supposed to
do I can't really say if that's intentional or might be wrong. I assume
that you've tested this code and therefore it works as expected, but it
is still odd to write the same value into so many different registers.

I think typically "disabling an interrupt" only means clearing (or
setting, depending on the hardware) the mask. If you clear the interrupt
status at the same time you're also dropping any pending interrupts.

Also I think a more common pattern would be to disable interrupts first
to make sure that clearing them won't immediately trigger a new
interrupt.

This should also take a struct sti_vtg * and not return anything since
it will never fail.

I think in this case it would probably be useful to open-code this
rather than reuse vtg_disable_irq(). For instance when interrupts are to
be enabled, why do they need to disable them first? It sounds like if
that's what you really want, then you should do it using something
explicit like this:

vtg_disable_irq(...);
vtg_enable_irq(...);

This seems somewhat brittle. I'd recommend you turn this into something
more robust. Just to illustrate, and I haven't looked at any other
patches yet, so I may be completely wrong here, here's what I'd imagine
the device tree for this to look like:

/ {
/* master VTG */
vtg@00000000 {
reg = <0x00000000 0x1000>;

st,slave = <&slave>;
};

/* slave VTG */
slave: vtg@00001000 {
reg = <0x00001000 0x1000>;
};

...
};

Then the VTG driver could register each of the devices as VTG and the
master could look the slave up using something like:

struct platform_device *pdev; /* from .probe() */
struct sti_vtg *vtg; /* allocated earlier */
struct device_node *np;
int err;

np = of_parse_phandle(pdev->dev.of_node, "st,slave", 0);
if (np) {
/* VTG is a master, lookup slave */
vtg->slave = of_vtg_find(np);
/*
* This could be -EPROBE_DEFER if the slave hasn't been
* registered yet.
*/
if (IS_ERR(vtg->slave))
return PTR_ERR(vtg->slave);
} else {
/* VTG is a slave */
}

...

err = vtg_register(vtg);
if (err < 0) {
...
}

vtg_register() could simply add a VTG into a global list, which
of_vtg_find() could traverse to find a VTG matching the device node
parsed from the phandle.

With the above these additional checks become mostly unnecessary.

And this would become something like:

if (vtg->slave)
vtg_set_mode(vtg->slave, mode);

vtg_set_mode(vtg, mode);

vtg_reset(vtg->slave);

vtg_reset(vtg);

vtg_enable_irq(vtg->slave);

if (vtg->slave)
vtg_reg_dump(vtg);

vtg_reg_dump(vtg);

Of course this in particular wouldn't be present in the final driver but
rather exposed via each VTG's debugfs tree.

Can you explain what you need the notifier for? I suppose I'll see in
some later patch, but at this rate it'll take me a while to get there.
=) My gut tells me that we won't be needing it though.

I suspect this could be caused by wrongly writing the interrupt mask and
status registers.

Why do you even need these if they're no-ops? How are you going to get
at them from other drivers if you don't hook them up with something
here? Perhaps that will be added in some subsequent patch, though.

This can be unsigned.

I don't think DRM_INFO is the loglevel you want here.

If the driver doesn't support non-OF configurations it's safe to assume
that this will never be NULL.

There's no need for the error message, since allocation failures will
already be noisily reported by the allocator.

This is kind of pointless since the memcpy() below will oops equally
well if ->data == NULL. I don't think you need to check this at all. If
the device can't be matched in the table this function won't be called.
And if .data has been set for the matching entry in the table this won't
be NULL. Leaving the .data field unset doesn't make any sense for this
driver.

Also maybe a good idea would be to store the result of of_match_node()
in a temporary variable to help with readability.

Why copy memory here in the first place? This kind of data is supposed
to be static configuration data, which is why it's typically static
const. I've suggested some changes above to make the design somewhat
more straightforward.

You're supposed to also request regions to make them for exclusive use
by this driver (to avoid other drivers to access the same registers
without proper synchronization).

Also the canonical way to do this is using devm_ioremap_resource().

That's an odd way to write this. if (vtg->irq < 0) should be good
enough.

I think it would be just fine to use dev_name(vtg->dev) instead of
generating this name, but meh.

This also looks like a leftover debug message.

There's some funky indentation here.

Indentation is odd here again.

Why do you need this include? I don't see anything in this file that's
defined in platform_device.h.

You don't actually need to include these here. You can simply forward
declare the structures (which works because you only pass around
pointers to them) like so:

struct drm_display_mode;
struct notifier_block;

I don't think these should be here. There is always a better way than
globals.

It's somewhat unclear as to what the purpose is of these. Perhaps it
will become clearer when I see them used in a subsequent patch.

Also it looks like the comments are supposed to be kernel-doc, but they
aren't really.

What is this used for?

I would hope that we can get rid of these somehow.

And these.

It's intriguing hardware I must say, and certainly a challenge since
it's so different from other DRM drivers. And it's taken quite some time
to go through this one file, so I won't be able to review all patches in
one go.
