The Goodix touch controller allows the use of two optional GPIOs (RESET
and INT) to reset the touch controller, select the I2C address of the
device and exit the device from sleep mode.

The current implementation requires both GPIOs to be provided, however,
it is possible to provide only the INT line and not to have the RESET line
available but pulled-up.

Designs that only provide the INT line are able to operate the touch on
the default I2C address but will not be able to reset the touch via
software or place the device in sleep mode.

This sounds exactly like the problem I'm having with the One-Mix Yoga
2 I described a few days ago.

I applied your patch on top of https://github.com/hadess/gt9xx, built
the goodix_backport module and loaded it successfully. The touchscreen
continued to work fine. Unfortunately, after a suspend and wakeup the
results are the same as without the patch - the touchscreen is
unresponsive. Unloading and loading the module again does not help. No
error messages whatsoever in dmesg.

I do not have a datasheet for the device, so I am not sure if reset line
is actually needed to put the device into sleep mode. As far as I can
see from the code we suspend it by pulsing INT line and then sending a
command to the controller, and resuming by pulsing the INT line again.
So it sounds to me INT only designs _could_ place device in sleep mode.

As far as the patch goes, if you do not need to execute reset or put
device into low power mode, you do not need to specify any of the GPIOs
as GPIO resources. Simply specify the INT GPIO as your interrupt source
(GpioInt() in ACPI world or "interrupts = <&gpio NNN
IRQF_TRIGGER_WHATEVER>" in DT world and be done with it.

Thanks.

Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for your quick reply.

The way I read the gt911 dataheet I also understand that only the INT line is
required to enter sleep mode but I don't other for the other supported 
controllers.  My comment is based on both the suspend() and resume() functions 
returning in the absence of either gpiod_int or gpiod_rst and not progressing 
to the sleep sequence.

That was my first impression too. However this does not work for my device. My
hypothesis is that the touch controller I2C address setting sequence is not 
happening as it should, so I need at least the control of the INT line in 
order to fix the I2C address.

I am unsure though whether this is a problem specific to the design I am 
testing with or all designs will have problems setting the I2C address without 
controlling the INT GPIO line.

Regards,
Alex

Data sheets for a lot of the Goodix devices were shared a couple of
years ago on this list. You'll find the one for the GT911 in here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BxCVOQS3ZymGfmJyY2RKbE5XbVlKNlktVTlwV0lxNEdxd2dzeWZER094cmJPVnMxN1F0Yzg?usp=sharing

You can probably translate it using Google Translate's Documents
upload, but I haven't had much luck at all...

Given that we do have access to the datasheet, it would also be useful
for the patch to mention where in the datasheet it says that the reset
line can be left pulled-up, or mention on which shipping device this
setup is already used (and if so, what the DTS or ACPI snippet that
declares those is).

Cheers

Or alternatively, and as Andreas pointed out in another thread, find
the code in the vendor driver that does support this setup:
https://github.com/goodix/gt9xx_driver_android
https://github.com/goodix/goodix_gt9xx_public

If it doesn't work with the vendor code, then we might not want to make
it work with our driver either.

Hi Bastien,

The pin description table on section 4, on the "Reset pin" row, contains a 
remark as follows:

External 10K pull-up resistor required, active-low reset

This comes from a newer revision of the datasheet though:
http://focuslcds.com/content/GT911.pdf

I guess it's open to interpretation whether driving the reset line is 
optional. The code seemed to imply it by using devm_gpiod_get_optional() to 
obtain the GPIO.

I am testing with an LCD application kit for the ConnectCore 6UL SBC Pro:

https://www.digi.com/products/models/cc-acc-lcdw-10
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6ul-ccimx6ulsbcpro.dts?h=v5.0-rc1#n120

This display in particular does not have the reset line available on the 
connector. The only way to make it work seems to be to use the INT line to fix 
an I2C address.

Thanks Bastien. The vendor code does seem to require both INT and RESET gpios.

They are optional in the sense that driver should work without them, but
if they specified we need both.

Do you have to use 0x14 address? Can you used the default 0x5d?

My concern with trying to do the address selection without RST line is
that it is quite unreliable, as it really depends on timings between the
chip reset, INT line being driven by the host and then being switched to
input.

Thanks.

I think you are right. thinking twice I should be able to fake the reset line
by controlling a regulator to the voltage source for the pull-up. It seems a 
more solid solution.

Thanks a lot for your help and sorry for the noise.
