Add binding for the TI's sdhci-omap controller. This now includes only
a subset of properties documented in ti-omap-hsmmc.txt but will eventually
include all the properties.

I am wondering a bit on the long term plan here.

Ideally at some point in future, we would like to remove the old
omap_hsmmc driver, but from compatible string point of view, that
means we first needs to deprecate the old ones for a while. Right?

That said, what is then the reason to why we should bring over the
existing omap_hsmmc bindings to the sdhci-omap bindings?

For example, "ti,dual-volt" can likely be replaced with something
better that already exists (either a common mmc binding or an sdhci
binding). For "ti,non-removable", we already have a common mmc binding
"non-removable" for this.

Kind regards
Uffe

right but sdhci-omap is still lacking features that was present in omap_hsmmc
like context save/restore, SDIO support etc. I think we should deprecate
omap_hsmmc compatible once we add all the features in sdhci-omap?

This is mainly for old dt compatibility. Even after removing the omap_hsmmc
driver, users should still be able to use newer kernel with their existing dtbs.

I guess we have two options.

1) Allow us to invent and use new bindings - and a new compatible.
When everything is implemented in sdhci-omap, we can deprecate the old
omap_hsmmc driver and its corresponding compatible/bindings. At some
point later we can remove the legacy driver/bindings altogether - of
course that might take a while. This option allows us to re-think some
of the old bindings and really clean up some if its related code. For
example, I think "ti,dual-volt" is a bad binding. Instead it would be
better to use the existing mmc bindings about which speed mode the
controller/board supports (as the voltage level comes with it).

2) Invent only a new compatible, but stick to use the old omap hsmmc
bindings and thus also deploy the similar code dealing with them. When
everything is implemented move the old omap_hsmmc compatibles into the
new sdhci-omap driver and them remove the old omap_hsmmc driver. At
that point we could also deprecate the old omap hsmmc compatibles, but
to me that is rather pointless.

The two options has different advantages, feel free to pick any of them!

Kind regards
Uffe

Okay. I'll send a new version with option '1' (new compatible/new bindings).

And when we deprecate the omap_hsmmc driver (some time later), we'll add
support for the legacy bindings in sdhci-omap driver (so that old dtbs continue
to work). Tony, are you okay with this?

I think you should Cc Rob Herring and Mark Rutland (DT binding
maintainers). This sounds like "I use DT to describe driver
behaviour" instead of "I use DT to describe hardware".

I would expect the conversion to look like the one done for UART,
see CONFIG_SERIAL_OMAP vs CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_OMAP. Both use the
same compatible value and you can choose using kernel configuration.

That does not work unfortunately :( We are now stuck in a situation
where two drivers are attempting to probe with the same compatible
and we can't enable 8250_OMAP because of the user space breakage
with the device names. And I'm actuallly thinking we should add a
new compatible for 8250-omap to be able to start enabling it one
board at a time.

It's best to enable devices to use the new compatible as things are
tested rather than hope for some magic "flag day" flip that might
never happen. Having two days attempting to probe with the same
binding just won't work.

So yeah, I agree with Kishon that we should stick with generic
and sdhci bindings. And then we can start already using it for
boards that can use it, then eventually when we're ready, start
parsing also the legacy bindings and maybe drop the old driver.

Tony

Hehe I mean "Having two drivers attempting to probe with the same
binding" above.

Is that the only problem? Presumably, the SD driver doesn't have a 
userspace facing issue.

Aren't you just picking whether the flag day is in DT or the kernel? I 
guess you're assuming one kernel build and it would be switching all 
boards at one.

I assume there are some other common properties you would switch to in 
the transition?  You could make the legacy driver bail from probe based 
on presence or absence of other properties. Or you could just blacklist 
converted platforms in the legacy driver. The point is that the problems 
are solvable in the kernel.

But if your really want a new compatible, I don't really care. It's 
only one device.

Well, if you are doing a new compatible, then why aren't you using 
common properties?

No userspace issue with the sdhci-omap. But the sdhci-omap driver
still has the issue of trying enable it for everything at once and
expect everything to work. The sdhci-omap driver can already be
used for boards that don't need power management for example, but
will break things for devices running on batteries.

Right, this would be risky and would take unnecessarily long
to use the new driver on boards that can already use it. While
power management won't work yet, I'd expect the sdhci-omap be
faster on SoCs that can do ADMA.

Yes this could be done too. But let's enable it on per-board
basis rather than attempt to flip it on at once.

Both a new compatible or a check for some resource work just fine
for me as long as the driver can be selected on per-board basis.

New compatible sounds simpler to me since it allows to select a driver per-MMC
instance. (SDIO support is not added/validated in sdhci-omap).

To summarize, we'll create new compatible and new bindings for sdhci-omap and
start enabling sdhci-omap on per-board basis. When all the TI platforms starts
to use sdhci-omap, omap-hsmmc will be removed at which point support for old
compatible and old dt bindings will be added to sdhci-omap.c. Does this sound
reasonable?

Thanks
Kishon
