[PATCH net-next v3 00/10] macb usrio/tsu patches

[Conor Dooley]

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>

Hey folks,

At the very least, it'd be good of the soc vendor folks could check
their platforms and see if their usrio stuff actually lines up with what
the driver currently calls "macb_default_usrio". Ours didn't and it was
a nasty surprise.

Theo, you added eyeq5 recently. Does it genuinely have the same usrio
bits as the at91 devices?

Ryan and I figured out that the sama7g5 stuff is not actually using the
same usrio bits as earlier devices, so there's now more patches in this
series to split them apart. I've not tested the split or the new
property due to lack of hardware, but Ryan has.

Cheers,
Conor.

v3:
- reorder patches
- fix smatch issue reported by Simon
- add patches reworking usrio handling of clken/refclk (and remove the
  issue the llm reported in the process)
- add a new devicetree property for refclk selection, replacing the
  existing one.
- drop the dts patch

[PATCH net-next v3 01/10] net: macb: rename macb_default_usrio to at91_default_usrio as not all platforms have mii mode control in usrio

[Conor Dooley]

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>

Calling this structure macb_default_usrio is misleading, I believe, as
it implies that it should be used if your platform has nothing special
to do in usrio. Since usrio is platform dependent, the default here is
probably for each usrio to do nothing, with the macb documentation I
have access to prescribing no standard behaviour here. We noticed that
this was problematic because on mpfs, a bit that macb_default_usrio
sets to deal with the MII mode actually changes the source for the
tsu_clk to something with how the majority of mpfs devices are actually
configured!

Rename it to at91_default_usrio, since that's where the values actually
come from for these. I have no idea if any of the other platforms that
use the default actually copied at91's usrio configuration or if they
have usrio configurations where what the driver does has no impact.

Gate touching these bits behind a capability, like the clken refclock
usrio knob, so that platforms without the MII mode stuff can avoid
running this code.

[PATCH net-next v3 02/10] net: macb: split USRIO_HAS_CLKEN capability in two

[Conor Dooley]

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>

While trying to rework the internal/external refclk selection on
sama7g5, Ryan and I noticed that the sama7g5 was "overloading" the
meaning of MACB_CAPS_USRIO_HAS_CLKEN, using it differently to how it was
originally intended.
Originally, on the macb hardware on sam9620 et al,
MACB_CAPS_USRIO_HAS_CLKEN represented the hardware having a bit that
needed to be set to turn on the input clock to the transceivers. The
sama7g5 doesn't have this bit, so for some reason the decision was made
to reuse this capability flag to control selection of internal/external
references.

Split the caps in two, so that capabilities do what they say on the tin,
and allow reworking the refclk selection handling without impacting the
older devices that use MACB_CAPS_USRIO_CLKEN for its original purpose.

[PATCH net-next v3 03/10] dt-bindings: net: cdns,macb: replace cdns,refclk-ext with cdns,refclk-source

[Conor Dooley]

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>

Ryan added cdns,refclk-ext with the intent of decoupling the source of
the reference clock on sama7g5 (and related platforms) from the
compatible. Unfortunately, the default for sama7g5-emac is an external
reference clock, so this property had no effect there, so that
compatibility with older devicetrees is preserved.
Replace cdns,refclk-ext with one that supports both default states and
therefore is usable for sama7g5-emac.

For now, limit it to only the platforms that have USRIO controlled
reference clock selection, but this could be generalised in the future.

[PATCH net-next v3 04/10] net: macb: rework usrio refclk selection code

[Conor Dooley]

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>

The USRIO based refclk selection code abuses a capability flag to set
the refclk to an external source based on match data/compatible on
sama7g5-emac and use an internal source for the gmac.

Ryan previously added a property in an attempt to decouple the refclk
source from the compatible, because this is not fixed by compatible
and there's variance based on the choices made by board designers.

Originally when Ryan added it, he removed the capability flag entirely
from match data, but this changed the default for the sama7g5-emac and
the removal had to be reverted for these devices. Because these devices
default to an external refclk, and the current property is only capable
of communicating external refclks, there's no way to make the
sama7g5-emac use an internal refclk.

Additionally, this property has no limiting based on compatible, and
if used on a platform with an external refclk that is not controlled
by USRIO the capability would be erroneously set. Because of the reuse
of the at91_default_usrio struct by non-at91 devices, this could cause
the refclk bit to be set in error, on a system where the refclk is
externally provided without usrio settings being required.

Change the new capability flag so that it actually represents the
hardware being capable of controlling the refclk source via USRIO,
and move the selection of default behaviour into the macb_usrio_config
struct provided as part of match data.
Modify the devicetree code to support a new property,
"cdns,refclk-source" which will support devices with either default,
retaining support for "cdns,refclk-external" for compatibility reasons.

[PATCH net-next v3 06/10] net: macb: add mpfs specific usrio configuration

[Conor Dooley]

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>

On mpfs the driver needs to make sure the tsu clock source is not the
fabric, as this requires that the hardware is in Timer Adjust mode,
which is not compatible with the linux driver trying to control the
hardware. It is unlikely that this will be set, as the peripheral is
reset during probe, but if the resets are not provided in devicetree
it's probable that this bit is set incorrectly, as U-Boot's macb driver
has the same issue with using usrio settings for at91 platforms as the
default.

[PATCH net-next v3 07/10] net: macb: warn on pclk use as a tsu_clk fallback

[Conor Dooley]

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>

The Candence GEM IP has a configuration parameter which determines the
source of the clock used for the timestamp unit (if it is enabled),
switching it between using the pclk and a dedicated input.

When ptp support was added to the macb driver, a new tsu_clk was added
to represent the dedicated input. While this is understandable, I think
it is bug prone and that the tsu_clk should represent whatever clock is
used for the timestamper and not just that specific input.

>From a driver point of view, the benefit of taking the conceptual
approach is avoiding misconfiguring the driver when the hardware
supports ptp (and it is set as a capability in the relevant per-device
structure) but no tsu_clk is provided in devicetree. At the moment, the
timestamper will be registered and programmed with an increment that
reflects the pclk in these cases, but will malfunction if the pclk and
tsu_clk frequencies do not match. Obviously, this means the devicetree
incorrectly represents the hardware, but this change in approach would
make the driver more resilient without meaningfully impacting correctly
described users.

Out of the devices that claim MACB_CAPS_GEM_HAS_PTP the fu540, mpfs,
sama5d2 and sama7g5-emac (but not sama7g5-gem) are at risk of having
this problem with the in-kernel devicetrees. mpfs and sama7g5-emac
have been confirmed to be incorrect, and sama5d2 is correct. It may be
that the other platforms actually do use the pclk for the timestamper
(either by supplying pclk to the tsu_clk input of the IP, or by having
the IP block configured to use pclk instead of the tsu_clk input), but
at least two are wrong, as they do not use pclk for the tsu_clk, so the
driver is registering the ptp clock incorrectly.

Add a warning if no tsu_clk is provided on a platform that uses the
timerstamper, to encourage people to specifically provide a tsu_clk and
avoid silently registering the timerstamper with the wrong clock. If the
pclk is actually used, it can be provided as a tsu_clk for improved
clarity in devicetrees.

While this changes the meaning of the devicetree property, it is
backwards compatible as there's no functional change for platforms that
didn't provide a tsu_clk and the changed meaning of providing a tsu_clk
in the devicetree does not impact platforms that already provided one as
the decision about the tsu clock source is at IP instantiation time
rather than at runtime, so there's no driver behaviour that needs to
change based on the input to the IP used for the timestamping unit.

tsu_clk is grabbed during probe, so doesn't need to be re-grabbed here.
pclk is mandatory, probe will fail if it is err/NULL, so there's no need
to check it here or have a !pclk 3rd arm. Simplify gem_get_tsu_rate() to
account for these facts.

[PATCH net-next v3 09/10] dt-bindings: net: macb: add property indicating timer adjust mode

[Conor Dooley]

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>

The GEM IP has two methods for modifying the ptp timer. The first of
these, named "increment mode", relies on software controlling the timer
by setting tsu_timer_incr and tsu_timer_incr_sub_nsec and performing
once-off adjustments via the tsu_timer_adjust register. This is what the
macb driver uses. The second mechanism, "timer adjust mode" uses the
gem_tsu_inc_ctrl and gem_tsu_ms signals to control the timer. These
modes are not intended to be used in parallel, but both can be possible
on the same device and which mode is used cannot be determined from the
compatible on all devices, because some users of the GEM IP are SoC
FPGAs that permit configuring how the IP is wired up.

Add a property to indicate that gem_tsu_inc_ctrl and gem_tsu_ms are wired
up for timer adjust mode.

This is already an implemented ABI, so you cannot drop it even if some
devices works fine on default. Instead please deprecate it and keep
drivers backwards compatible for whoever is using it.

The driver still will support it for those devices, but I don't see any
value in keeping the property about, even deprecated, when it doesn't
work properly. If you insist that it be kept and marked deprecated, it
needs conditional rules to only permit it on devices that it actually
does something. I'm surprised you even considered that I would drop
support for it from the driver!

There cannot be an undocumented ABI, so if driver has it, it must stay
in the bindings.

Commit msg suggested it is no-op, thus could be dropped without having
impact?

Right that's something I should have considered.
I'll keep it so.

Nah, it's not an NOP. Commit message maybe reads that way because I was
trying to avoid mentioning the driver implementation details. I think I
could do a better job talking about sama7g5-emac versus sama7g5-gem in
the commit message, which would show that the current property has a use
case, just not as broad as it was intended to be.

The existing property was added along with a driver change that modified
sama7g5-emac which had a default of external to default to internal instead,
and the property could be used to switch to external. sama7g5-gem had a
default of internal, so this change was done to make things uniform and
allow a single property to work for both devices.
That driver change was reverted to maintain backwards compatibility, so
the property became useless on sama7g5-emac, and there's currently no
way to make that device use an internal reference.

What I am doing here is probably what cdns,refclk-ext should have been
originally, but when the driver's defaults got reverted the whole series
probably should have been reverted so that Ryan could try again with a
new approach. Instead, the property went into a release but only works
on sama7g5-gem.

Sorry I missed your direct mention. After checking (because I completely
ignored this part of the code before), the User I/O feature is disabled
on EyeQ5 & EyeQ6H. It can be seen from DCFG1 BIT(9). It was invisible
because the USRIO register turns read-only when User I/O is disabled.

1. So I thought about adding runtime detection.

2. But then having eyeq5_config->usrio made no sense so I dropped it.

3. And then I thought that a config having usrio being NULL should
   imply MACB_CAPS_USRIO_DISABLED to ensure we don't NULL dereference
   the bp->usrio pointer.

#1 is useless for EyeQ combined with #2 and #3, but it should be useful
for the many compatibles that inherited the wrong default value of
at91_default_usrio.

I am sending those three patches as a reply, feel free to pick them up
if you consider them useful. They apply on top of your series and have
been tested on EyeQ5.

Thanks Conor,

[PATCH 1/3] net: macb: runtime detect MACB_CAPS_USRIO_DISABLED

[Théo Lebrun]

DCFG1 (design config 1 register) carries a bit indicating whether User
I/O feature has been enabled or not. The MACB/GEM driver has a cap flag
indicating that HW has the feature disabled (default is enabled). Add
the missing connection between DCFG1 bit and MACB_CAPS_USRIO_DISABLED.

Indirect impact: avoid useless writel() on USERIO register; this is not
an important fix because USERIO is anyway read-only when feature is
disabled.

If for some reason a compatible sets USRIO_DISABLED but DCFG1 indicates
it is enabled, we still keep the disabled capability flag. This ensures
we don't break "cdns,np4-macb" that sets the flag from compatible match
data.

[PATCH 2/3] net: macb: set MACB_CAPS_USRIO_DISABLED if no usrio config is provided

[Théo Lebrun]

bp->usrio is copied directly from dt_conf->usrio in macb_probe().

If dt_conf->usrio is NULL, we do not want to land in USRIO write
codepaths which dereference bp->usrio. Inherit automatically
MACB_CAPS_USRIO_DISABLED to avoid those.

This means a macb_config that wants to disable usrio can simply drop
its .usrio field, rather than add the disabled capability explicitly.

Nit: drop the dt_conf NULL check because the pointer is always valid.

[PATCH 3/3] net: macb: drop usrio pointer on EyeQ5 config

[Théo Lebrun]

USRIO is disabled on this platform, drop its inherited usrio config.
We will end up with MACB_CAPS_USRIO_DISABLED on this platform:
 - We have no config->usrio so macb_configure_caps() deduces that the
   feature is disabled.
 - Anecdotally, we would also land in the runtime detection codepath
   that reads DCFG1.

Ye, my assumption was that on your platform and sifive it's not enabled
but didn't have the behaviour of np4 where accesses don't complete.
