Add generic PWM based tachometer driver via HWMON interface
to report the RPM of motor. This drivers get the period/duty
cycle from PWM IP which captures the motor PWM output.

This driver implements a simple interface for monitoring the speed of
a fan and exposes it in roatations per minute (RPM) to the user space
by using the hwmon's sysfs interface

AIUI, the PWM framework already exposes a sysfs node with period 
information. We should just use that instead of adding a new driver for 
this.

In any case, we cannot add something like this to device tree since it's 
not a hardware device.

I am kind of lost. Please explain.

Are you saying that we should drop the pwm-fan driver as well (which goes
the opposite way), as well as any other drivers doing anything with pwm signals,
because after all those signals are already exposed to userspace a sysfs attributes,
and a kernel driver to abstract those values is thus not needed ?

So you are saying there is no means to express in devicetree that
a pwm input is connected to a fan ? How is that not hardware ?

If so, how do you express in devicetree that a pwm signal is connected
to anything ?

"rpm" is not a standard hwmon sysfs attribute. If you don't provide
a single standard hwmon sysfs attribute, having a hwmon driver is pointless.

None of those is used.

Please use the new API - devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info -
for new drivers.

Please no noise on failure. The failure is going to be a memory allocation failure,
which is reported already, and user space will be informed with the error code.

The only thing this driver does is do a constant division in 
kernelspace. I'm not really seeing why that couldn't be done in 
userspace. But if you think it's appropriate to do the RPM conversion in 
kernelspace then I'm not greatly opposed to that.

If we want to describe that the tachometer is connected to a fan, then 
we should have a fan node in the board's device tree. We don't have a 
chip that has a thing called "generic-pwm-tachometer" attached to it. 
(We have chips that have a "nvidia,tegra186-tachometer", so it's proper 
to have that.)

Thanks,

Isn't that true for any conversion from and to pwm values ? Voltages,
for example ? Should those be handled in userspace as well ?

Note that I am not entirely convinced that the approach suggested in this
patch series makes sense. Patch 4 seems to move the notion of a tachometer
into the pwm subsystem. I am not really convinced that this makes sense
(maybe all that code should be in the hwmon driver instead, or in a thermal
driver if the author prefers). But that is a different issue. The question
you raised is if there should be any abstraction to or from raw pwm values
in the kernel.

So you are concerned about the property name ? I don't really care how
it is called.

Since tachometer driver implements PWM capture callback feature, I have 
added it under pwm driver as pwm-tegra-tachometer.c driver.
If the best approach is to have this tachometer driver under hwmon 
driver then I will move it to hwmon driver.

Guenter Roeck,
I will define a new hwmon sysfs attribute node called 
"hwmon_tachometer_attributes" in hwmon.h like below and update the same 
in tachometer hwmon driver. Is it fine ?
enum hwmon_tachometer_attributes {
         hwmon_tachometer_rpm,
};

Sorry, I just wanted to confirm whether my understanding is correct or 
not before implementing it actually.
Or, shall I add this attribute as a part of fan attributes with 
"hwmon_fan_rpm" ? or any other way to do it ? I need your inputs in 
fixing this.

I think he wants the attribute to be named according to the properties 
in this document: 
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface. I guess 
the attribute would then map to fan1_input, though I'm not sure if 
that's 100% correct either since this could technically be attached to 
something other than a fan. But I would think in practice that's not a 
big concern.

Guenter,
Please correct me as well if I'm wrong.

Thank you,
Mikko

I guess the attribute would then map to fan1_input, though I'm not sure if that's 100% correct either since this could technically be attached to something other than a fan. But I would think in practice that's not a big concern.

You are absolutely correct.

While I am not opposed to ABI changes, the merits of those would need to be
discussed on the mailing list. But replacing "fan1_input" with "rpm" is
not an acceptable ABI change, even if it may measure something that turns
but isn't a fan.

If this _is_ in fact supposed to be used for something else but fans, we
would have to discuss what that might be, and if hwmon is the appropriate
subsystem to measure and report it. This does to some degree lead back to
my concern of having the "fan" part of this patch series in the pwm core.
I am still not sure if that makes sense.

Guenter

We already have some fan control bindings in the tree. Follow those. 
There's only so many ways to control fans, so lets have some alignment. 
And yes, we should have a fan node.

I am planning to add tachometer support in pwm-fan.c driver 
(drivers/hwmon/) instead of adding new generic-pwm-tachometer.c driver. 
Measuring RPM value will be done in pwm-fan driver itself using pwm 
capture feature and will add new sysfs attributes under this driver to 
report rpm value of fan.

There is an existing attribute to report the RPM of fans. It is called fan[1..n]_input.

"replacing "fan1_input" with "rpm" is not an acceptable ABI change"

Preemptive NACK.

The RPM is measured speed via PWM signal capture  which is output from fan.
So should we have the fan[1..n]_output_rpm?

I think the idea here (based on personal discussion with Rajkumar) was 
to add a "new" sysfs attribute the driver exports, but that attribute 
would be the existing fan[1..n]_input.

No. I hear you clearly that you for some reason dislike fan[1..n]_input.
While ABIs are not always to our liking, that doesn't mean that we get
to change them at our whim. If that is not acceptable for you, I can't
help you. And you can't change inX_input to inX_voltage either, sorry.

Ah, sorry, in this case misunderstanding on my side.

My opinion is only to not use "input" as this is not really the input to 
fan.

+Kernel driver generic-pwm-tachometer
+====================================
+
+This driver enables the use of a PWM module to monitor a fan. It uses the
+generic PWM interface and can be used on SoCs as along as the SoC supports
+Tachometer controller that moniors the Fan speed in periods.
+
+Author: Rajkumar Rampelli <rrajk@nvidia.com>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The driver implements a simple interface for monitoring the Fan speed using
+PWM module and Tachometer controller. It requests period value through PWM
+capture interface to Tachometer and measures the Rotations per minute using
+received period value. It exposes the Fan speed in RPM to the user space by
+using the hwmon's sysfs interface.
