From: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>

This creates a subsystem for handling of pin control devices.
These are devices that control different aspects of package
pins.

Currently it handled pinmuxing, i.e. assign electronic functions
to groups of pins of pins on primarily PGA and BGA type of chip
packages and common in embedded systems.

The plan is to also handle other I/O pin control aspects such as
biasing, driving, input properties such as schmitt-triggering,
load capacitance etc within this subsystem.

This is being done to depopulate the arch/arm/* directory of such
custom drivers and try to abstract the infrastructure they all
need. See the Documentation/pinmux.txt file that is part of this
patch for more details.

Hi Linus,

This is looking really nice.  I have a few comments/queries inline 
though.

On our (difficultly muxed!) platform we have two types of GPIO - a 
Synopsys controller which is a fairly conventional GPIO controller, then 
a sigma-delta GPIO controller which can also do a an analogue type 
output (as well as digital).  For lots of our pads they can either be 
ARM GPIO, SD GPIO or some other function, so I don't see how this fits 
in with a single GPIO base.

So doesn't this mean that the enumeration that was initially described 
as arbitrary actually has to enumerate the GPIO pins first?

Greg K-H has mentioned in the past that class is now deprecated for new 
use and that a bus_type should be used instead.

Would it be better to put the owner in the ops structure like file_ops?  
I'm sure I remember someone saying that it's better to do that so that 
it's in the modules .data/.rodata section but I can't find that 
reference.

So is the request like gpio_request() or just test if it the pin is 
available?  If its the latter then perhaps pin_is_available() might be a 
better name?

The CONFIG_PINMUX=y version of pinmux_get returns an ERR_PTR() encoded 
error so perhaps this should return something like ERR_PTR(-ENXIO)?

Does that mean it is really not a GPIO controller but a kind of D/A converter?

And each of them are modeled as a separate gpio_chip I guess?

Otherwise it's a bad match with reality. We had this discussion with GRant
where two gpio_chips would use the same number range in the GPIO
global pinspace, and it's basically not allowed IIRC.

But yes, there is an assumption that each pin controller will only
deal with one block of GPIO pins. So if I make it possible to support
several GPIO ranges for one pin controller, does that solve your problem?

Like this:

struct pinctrl_gpio_range {
    char *name;
    unsigned int base;
    unsigned int npins;
}

static unsigned int gpio_ranges[] = {
    {
        .name="chip1",
        .base = 0,
        .npins = 16,
    },
    {
        .name =" chip2",
        .base = 32,
        .npins = 16,
    },
    {
        .name = "chip3",
        .base = 64,
        .npins = 16,
    },
};

static struct pinctrl_desc foo_desc = {
        ...
        .gpio_ranges = gpio_ranges,
        .num_gpio_ranges = ARRAY_SIZE(gpio_ranges),
};

For three different 32-bit GPIO controllers muxed on
pins 0..31 using GPIO space pins from 0..95.

Then I pass the number of the instance down to the
driver in the gpio_request_enable() callback like
this:

int (*gpio_request_enable) (struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev,
	    unsigned instance,
	    unsigned offset);

Would this work?

This has a restriction: the GPIO space must be mapped in
continous ranges, as must the pin controller. Else we need
one entry per pin in the list above...

If you use GPIO accessors, the enumeration has to match.
So I rewrite it like this:

"this enumeration was arbitrarily chosen, in practice you need to think
through your numbering system so that it matches the layout of registers
and such things in your driver, or the code may become complicated. You must
also consider matching of offsets to the GPIO ranges that may be handled by
the pin controller."

OK?

Can you provide a reference with some detail?
The pin control devices are usually aleady on a bus like the
platform_bus or amba_bus or i2c_bus, then they register a
class device in this case.

The kerneldoc documentation says
"A bus is a channel between the processor and one or more devices."

This isn't the case here.

Anyhthing that help me understand this is appreciated, Arnd?

I can't do that because the pinmux_ops vtable is not mandatory.

The plan is to add more ops for other things like pin bias etc.

I'm already using dev_set_drvdata(&pctldev->dev, pctldev);
So I can retrieve the pctldev withdev_get_drvdata(dev);
in sysfs...

If I wasn't registering sysfs nodes I couldv'e used it.

It's the former. The pin controller may have some electrical
properties that makes it impossible to request a certain pin for muxing
at a certain time. (Found out on earlier list review.)

No this is modeled more like the regulator stubs in
<linux/regulator.h>. For example, if you're compiling for a
platform that does not support regulators they are assumed to
be always on.

In this case, if compiled for a platform without pinmux, we assume
we got the pins we need already so it just works, not fail.

Kind of.  In the basic mode it's just a GPIO controller that does 
digital I/O.  In the SD mode it all really depends on what the external 
filter looks like.  As gpio_set_value() takes an int as the value, then 
the gpio controller theoretically _could_ treat that as an analogue 
output value and use the pinctrl api to set the converter and rate sizes 
but I don't really want to go there yet as it's a bit of an abuse of the 
gpio API!

Yes, the SD-GPIO isn't memory mapped so has a completely separte

OK, it's a bit of a language nitpick, but I interpreted that as meaning 
it was purely a test.

	@request: called by the core to reserve a pin for muxing. This 
	is called by the core to acquire the pins before selecting any 
	actual mux setting across a function. The driver is allowed to 
	answer "no" by returning a negative error code.

maybe makes things a little clearer (to me anyway!)?

That makes perfect sense!  Doh!

Thanks a lot for doing this work Linus, it's really appreciated and 
looking great!  It's a bit difficult for me to test this on my platform 
at the moment as I'm still trying to handle all of the device tree stuff 
but I'll give this a good test as soon as I can.

Taking Greg on Cc as well.

The main difference between a normal device and a class device is
that one is linked from /sys/bus/*/devices/* and the other is linked
from /sys/class/*/*. However, they both live in /sys/devices/.../*
as directories.

I always liked the separation between the two, although there are
a few cases where there is a grey area (e.g. /sys/bus/hid or
/sys/class/mmc_host) and the abstraction doesn't really fit.

IIRC Greg would prefer now to never have had the distinction
and wants to make all future uses use a bus_type.

Yes, that is totally correct.  Kay has also written much more about this
and why this is the way forward many times in the past, see lkml

One more thing that I thought of is that for device tree, when the gpio 
controllers are registered, the base is typically dynamically assigned.  I 
suspect that this can be solved in the device tree binding for the controller 
that references the bindings of the pinctrl, but this would require 
registering the gpio_ranges at runtime (or at least the bases).

So perhaps if we had:

struct pinctrl_gpio_range {
    unsigned int pinctrl_base;
    struct gpio_chip *chip;
}

and then gpio_request_enable was:

int (*gpio_request_enable)(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev,
			   struct gpio_chip *gc,
			   unsigned offset)

Then have pinctrl_register_gpio_chip()?

For the static devices case then we can require gc->base must match the 
pinctrl gpio base.  For the device tree case we could do some matching of 
device_nodes from the gpio_chip to the pinctrl definitions?

I have a little worry about how will this map work after all foo-spi,
foo-i2c, foo-mmc use DT. they will lose those simple name just
foo-spi.0, foo-spi.1, foo-spi.2 except that we use OF_DEV_AUXDATA_ID.
the actual device name might be foo-spi.200fee or something like that.
then this map will have the same problem with the current clock/device
mapping.
could we have a way to define the connection between device and pinmux
in DTS directly?

Nah I trust you, I will switch it to use bus_type instead no problem.

Oh registering ranges at runtime ... crap. But possible I think.

I'm not following - the struct gpio_chip is opaque outside the gpio
subsystem, I've proposed patches to make it public but they have
been NAK:ed.

Which means pinctrl has no use of that pointer.

What is the intended purpose of sending that thing in?

Right now my range struct looks like this:

/**
 * struct pinctrl_gpio_range - each pin controller can provide subranges of
 * the GPIO number space to be handled by the controller
 * @name: a name for the chip in this range
 * @id: an ID number for the chip in this range
 * @base: base offset of the GPIO range
 * @npins: number of pins in the GPIO range, including the base number
 */
struct pinctrl_gpio_range {
        const char name[16];
        unsigned int id;
        unsigned int base;
        unsigned int npins;
};

Can't do that since we can't look into struct gpio_chip intrinsics...

But we can register ranges at runtime, I'll just make the pin controller keep
a list of GPIO ranges, simple.

Well even though the gpio_chip is opaque to pinctrl, the pointer can 
still be used for searching, which means that gpio_request() doesn't 
need to know the integer instance number (which would presumably be 
passed with platform_data for non-DT?).

OK, I do think it would be nice to use a gpio_chip based request, but I 
don't want to create too many obstacles for getting this code merged!

Sorry to keep harping on about this, but I'm still not convinced the data
model is correct.

Note: There are two places where a data model is relevant: (a) The API
exposed to clients of the pinmux API (b) the API between the pinmux API
core and the pinmux chip implementations. Your patches currently use the
same data model for both. I believe we can use a different data model for
the two interfaces. My discussion below talks solely about the interface
at point (b); I can talk more about (a) later. I'm trying to talk about
one thing at a time right now to avoid my previous overwhelming emails,
and gain consensus on one point at a time.

Here are the two possible models:

Model 1 (as implemented in the pin control subsystem):

* Each pinmux chip defines a number of functions.
* Each function describes what functionality is mux'd onto the pins.
* Each function describes which pins are affected by the function.

Result:

If there are a couple of controllers that can each be mux'd out two
places, you get four functions:

Function i2c0-0: Controller i2c0 is mux'd onto pins 0 and 1
Function i2c0-1: Controller i2c0 is mux'd onto pins 2 and 3
Function spi0-0: Controller spi0 is mux'd onto pins 0 and 1
Function spi0-1: Controller spi0 is mux'd onto pins 4 and 5

Model 2 (what I'd like to see)

* Each pinmux chip defines a number of functions.
* Each function describes the functionality that can be mux'd out.
* Each pinmux chip defines a number of pins.
* Each pinmux chip defines which functions are legal on which pins.

Result:

With the same controllers and pins above, you get:

Function i2c0
Function spi0
Pins 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Pins 0, 1 accept functions i2c0, spi0
Pins 2, 3 accept functions i2c0
Pins 4, 5 accept functions spi0

We'd still have a single controller-wide namespace for functions, it's
just that functions are something you mux onto pins, not the combination
of mux'd functionality and the pins it's been mux'd onto.

Advantages:

* I believe this model is much more directly maps to the way most HW
works; there's a register for each pin where you write a value to select
which functionality to mux onto that pin. Assuming that's true, using
this data model might lead to simpler pinmux chip implementations; they'd
require fewer mapping tables.

* Given that's the way Tegra HW works at least, the patches I recently
posted to initialize the Tegra pinmux from device-tree define bindings
that use this model. I think it's important that such bindings use the
same data model as the pinmux chip data model. This keeps consistency
between boot-time initialization and the pinmux chip portion of any
run-time pinmux modifications.



As an aside, I see your patches use the pinmux API at driver probe time
to set up the pinmux, whereas my init-pinmux-driver-from-dt patches do
a pinmux-controller-wide initialization at probe time. There was some
discussion in response to earlier patches re: which way was better, and
I got the impression that the pinmux API was mainly for runtime changes,
rather than boot-time initial configuration. If that's not the case, then
I guess we should drop my proposed init-pinmux-driver-from-dt patches and
put all that code into your pinmux subsystem...

Don't feel sorry! I'm getting very much done and much important
research and thinking is happening thanks to you valuable feedback.
Keep doing this!

What I notice is that the review comments have changed focus
from the earlier contention point about having multiple functions
per map entry to something else, which to me seems like it
comes from device tree work, and is about describing how each
and every pin is wired to its function. Does this correspond to
your recent pinmux experience?

This is correct.

Yes, if and only if the pinmux driver find it useful to expose
these two ports on the two sets of pins each.

For example: there really *is* a bus soldered to pin {0,1}
and another bus soldered to pin {2,3}, and each has devices
on it. But I have only one single i2c controller i2c0.

If pins {2,3} were not soldered or used for something else
it doesn't make sense for the pin controller to expose
two functions like this.

So this is dependent on platform/board data. We need
to know how the chip has been deployed in this very
machine to know what functions to expose.

I think I understand this. Maybe.

I read it like this:
Legend:
  1..* = one to many
  1..1 = one to one

- Pins has a 1..* relation to functions
- Functions in general have a 1..* relation to pins,
- Device drivers in general have a 1..* relation to
  functions
- Functions with 1..1 relation to pins and device drives
  with a 1..1 relation to functions is not the norm

So this is radically different in that it requires the pin control
system to assume basically that any one pin can be used for
any one function.

I refer to this as a phone-exchange model, like any one pin
can map to any one function, like any phone can call any
other phone.

The current model is not based on that assumption at
all. The current model is derived from some available
pinmux controllers and described below.

I understand this statement as you assume al pinmuxes
are phone-exachange-type, where any pin can be tied to
any function at runtime. So for example the CLK pin of spi0
can be muxed onto any pin basically, not a predetermined
set of pins.

I think that data model does not take into account the fact
that all or most pinmuxes are inherently restricted and not at
all that open-ended. That model would impose a
phone-exchange type of data model on hardware that is
much more limited.

So the data model I'm assuming is:

- Pins has a 1..* relation to functions
- Functions in general have a 1..1 relation to pins,
- Device drivers in general have a 1..1 relation to
  functions
- Functions with 1..* relation to pins is uncommon
  as is 1..* realtions between device drivers and
  functions.

The latter is the crucial point where I think we have
different assumptions.

If it holds, it leads to the fact that a pinmux driver
will present a few functions for say i2s0 usually only
one, maybe two, three, never hundreds.


Survey of some systems

So this is where we have to determine what is really the
way such hardware at large works. I have done some
research in data sheets and code:

What I have found is that the typical layout is that:

- Each pin has a number of mux control bits in some
  register, often 2 or 3 bits.

- These bits select a mux setting out of 2 to 8 possible
  settings.

- It is very uncommon to be able to map the
  same function to some other pin - so often say
  UART0 CTS can only come out on one pin, not
  five different pins, let alone any pin

- The need to present a lot of different combinations
  of one function on different pins to the subsystem
  through the selectors is very limited.

mach-u300:
----------------

Configurability: each function can be mapped to one pin
(pad) only - for example SPI is found on pads { 420 .. 425 }
it can only be enabled on these pins. It's not possible to
move the SPI to say pins { 100 ... 105 }, what you can do
is turn the pins into GPIO:s instead. However you cannot
map any arbitrary GPIO line to each one of them, but a
*certain* GPIO line. So this muxing is pretty static.

Further the functions are selected groupwise, so you
select all 6 pins to be used for GPIO or something else,
you cannot select things on each pin individually at all.
For example pins {166 ... 171, 176, 177} can be used for
MMC *or* memory stick, *or* GPIOs. You cannot
request to have your MMC on some other pins and
you absolutely can never use MMC and memory stick
at the same time, because they can only use these
pins.

So there is a mux, and it is not like a phone
exchange that can route anything anywhere, it's
a few functions per pin.

mach-ux500:
-----------------

Each muxable pin has a default function, which is GPIO,
then it also can provide one of three "alternate functions"
called A, B, C. Our map looks like this for pin 0:

#define GPIO0_GPIO              PIN_CFG(0, GPIO)
#define GPIO0_U0_CTSn           PIN_CFG(0, ALT_A)
#define GPIO0_TRIG_OUT          PIN_CFG(0, ALT_B)
#define GPIO0_IP_TDO            PIN_CFG(0, ALT_C)

So pin 0 can be used for GPIO, the UART0 CTS signal,
trigger output or TDO, whatever that is.

You cannot move the UART0 CTS singnal to some
other pin, this is fixed muxing per pin, just like in the
U300. If you want to use UART0 you *have* to use
pin 0 for it's CTS signal, nothing else is possible.

If you want to use the other functions, you loose
UART0.

However the Ux500 is not muxed in groups, so each
pins function can be selected individually. Which
makes it possible to configure a few useless
combinations, like vital pins replaced by GPIO and
whatever.

plat-omap:
--------------

I have checked the TRMs for OMAP 3 & 4 but the pinmux
stuff seems to sit in the system controller
(at OMAP*_CTRL_BASE) which in turn does not appear
to be documented in the public data sheet.
(Help me if you have a reference...)

Looking at say arch/arm/mach-omap2/mux2420.c you see
entries like this:

        _OMAP2420_MUXENTRY(CAM_D0, 54,
                "cam_d0", "hw_dbg2", "sti_dout", "gpio_54",
                NULL, NULL, "etk_d2", NULL),

As you can see pin 54 (which does not seem to mean
anything else than that this is the pin that can be used for
GPIO channel 54) can theoretically be used for up to 8
different functions, in this case only 5 of them are
actually valid. The selected function is apparently
controlled by 3 bits per pin somewhere.

It's not like you can move "sti_dout" to some other pin
than 54. This is a restriction of the electronics.

So OMAPs mux impose identical restrictions on pins
as the ux500 mux - a pin can not hold *any* function, just
a few select functions. It is not a phone-exchange type.

mach-msm:
----------------

Hard to tell how this works and what's available, support
seems to be incomplete. Currently it seems to be wired
to do either a dedicated function (like some UART pin)
or GPIO, like each pin can be used for two specific
things, and not phone-exchange type.

plat-mxc/mach-mx5:
----------------------------

Quite hard o make out, but checking the mux maps in
arch/arm/plat-mxc/include/mach/iomux-*.h I get the
impression that also these muxes are of the same type
as the above for example:

/*                                                        PAD    MUX
ALT INPSE PATH PADCTRL */
#define _MX51_PAD_EIM_D16__AUD4_RXFS            IOMUX_PAD(0x3f0, 0x5c,
5, 0x0000, 0, 0)
#define _MX51_PAD_EIM_D16__AUD5_TXD             IOMUX_PAD(0x3f0, 0x5c,
7, 0x08d8, 0, 0)
#define _MX51_PAD_EIM_D16__EIM_D16              IOMUX_PAD(0x3f0, 0x5c,
0, 0x0000, 0, 0)
#define _MX51_PAD_EIM_D16__GPIO2_0              IOMUX_PAD(0x3f0, 0x5c,
1, 0x0000, 0, 0)
#define _MX51_PAD_EIM_D16__I2C1_SDA             IOMUX_PAD(0x3f0, 0x5c,
0x14, 0x09b4, 0, 0)
#define _MX51_PAD_EIM_D16__UART2_CTS            IOMUX_PAD(0x3f0, 0x5c,
3, 0x0000, 0, 0)
#define _MX51_PAD_EIM_D16__USBH2_DATA0          IOMUX_PAD(0x3f0, 0x5c,
2, 0x0000, 0, 0)

Pad 16 seems to be able to mux in AUD4 RXFS, AUD5 TXD,
EIM, GPIO2 controller line 0, I2C1_SDA, UART2 CTS and
USBH2 DATA0.

Thus these functions are restricted to this one pin. It's not
like I could all of a sudden have GPIO2 line 0 on pad 45
instead. Or UART2 CTS on pad 96. Or similar. If I want to
use UART2, it's CTS signal must go out on pad 16.

Isn't it better if that data model is kept as a Tegra thing as I
guess it is right now?

Atleast until we find if this model really suits other machines...

My concern is that it may force all pin control drivers to conform to
something pretty complex that is only useful for Tegra. And in that
case that part of it (the 1..* relation between functions and pins)
should reside in the tegra pinmux driver, not across the entire
subsystem.

The intention of the pinmux part of the pin control subsystem is to
model the subset of what is common functionality across all pin
controllers, not the superset of everything that is possible to do
with every pin controller, atleast not if it makes the API hard to use
for others. So let's figure out if this is the case.

So that way in summary:

- Pin has a 1..* relation to functions - ALL SYSTEMS
- Functions in general have a 1..1 relation to pins, the function
  can only come out on one pin
- Functions with 1..* relation to pins is uncommon, Tegra is
  the only chip that has this.
- Device drivers in general have a 1..1 relation to functions,
  1..* is uncommon

More than anything else I think that it's up to the pin
control/mux driver to present the useful functions for a system,
what would change my mind is if one system would present
- in practice, on a real board - a voluminous amount of
functions for the same IP block say.

So the subsystem enumerates the pins, tie them to
functions, and map functions to device drivers. Infering
which functions should be available on a certain board
is up to the device driver, say function "uart0" may be
{0..3}, {100..103} or {265..268} on three different
boards, but at runtime the device driver asks for the
function "uart0" and don't really care much about what
pins it gets, as long as the device driver does its work.

I think the individual pinmux driver should deal with
initializing the system, by using its supplied platform data
or device tree, then it can present the relevant available
functions on that specific machine to the pinmux subsystem.

I think the structure if the supplied platform data for Tegra
may be quite different from the data supplied by the
pin controllers mentioned above, if it is as open-ended as
it is described.

So the driver handling this should be in drivers/pinctrl but the
subsystem should not (IMO) deal with setting up the registers
and infering which mux functions are available and on which
pins, that knowledge should be intrinsic to the specific driver.

And I assume the set of functions eventually presented to
the subsystem will generally be of 1..1 type where one
function maps to one device driver, not 1..*.

I don't know if this makes anything clearer, I feel I'm writing
too much text :-/

Not really. UART2_CTS can't be routed to arbitrary pads, but it can be
routed to more than one pad:

#define _MX51_PAD_EIM_D16__UART2_CTS		IOMUX_PAD(0x3f0, 0x5c, 3, 0x0000, 0, 0)
#define _MX51_PAD_EIM_D25__UART2_CTS		IOMUX_PAD(0x414, 0x80, 4, 0x0000, 0, 0)
#define _MX51_PAD_USBH1_DATA0__UART2_CTS	IOMUX_PAD(0x688, 0x288, 1, 0x0000, 0, 0)

The naming in the iomux files is always <pad_name>__<function>

This is why there can't be a setup_iomux(uart2) function without
being able to specify *which* pads in a board specific way.

Also the same gpio can sometime be routed to different pads:

#define _MX51_PAD_NANDF_ALE__GPIO3_5            IOMUX_PAD(0x4ec, 0x110, 3, 0x0988, 0, 0)
#define _MX51_PAD_DISPB2_SER_DIN__GPIO3_5       IOMUX_PAD(0x6bc, 0x2bc, 4, 0x0988, 1, 0)

This is why there can't be any setup_iomux_for_this_gpio() function
without being able to specify which pad should be used, again in
a board specific way.

This is more or less the same that OMAP and PXA have.

Aha!

Is it typically a few pads like this, say 2,3,4 alternatives,
sometimes just one?

So the actual relation is not 1..1 nor 1...* but 1..<a few>?

In the current design it is the pinmux driver that
keeps track of that. Not the subsystem.

I think the question then is how the pinctrl subsystem
can help out in keeping that information together.

I'll try to think of something ...

There are some pins on MSMs that can be connected to different hw
blocks, we just haven't gotten the support into the kernel yet.

There are some things where two devices share pins, and you have to
choose one or the other.

I believe there are also configurations where something such as the SD
controller can either be configured in 8-bit data mode, or in 4-bit
data mode, and those 4 pins connected to something else.

Much of the current pin configuration in our product kernel seems to
be about current and pull up/down configuration.

I've added Rohit Vaswani, and Greg Bean to this thread who should have
a bit better understanding of this.

The MSM pinmux system allows every pin to be independently controlled
in the following ways:

- function selection:  Every pin can be in GPIO mode, or connected to
  a specific piece of hardware.  The number of choices varies by pin -
  some pins have only two choices, some have eight.  When a pin is not in
  GPIO mode, it loses some configurability - for instance, its direction
  can no longer be set, as that's predetermined by the function selection.
  Pins can belong to many groups which overlap in all kinds of interesting
  ways - a pin may be part of this four-bit bus, or that eight-bit bus, or
  might stand alone for two settings...

- drive strength: Each pin can be set to have a different drive strength
  between 2MA and 16MA, in 2MA steps.

- pull settings: Each pin can be configured with a variety of pull
  settings: up, down, keeper, no pull.

Additionally, there are complexities involving delivering
interrupts from GPIOs:

- 'direct-connect' or 'summary' interrupts: pins which are being used as
  interrupt inputs can be 'summarized' through a single interrupt
  (requiring an additional pile of register reads to figure out which
  gpio triggered the interrupt) or as a 'direct-connect' interrupt.
  There are very few direct-connect lines available, so most gpio
  interrupts are summarized.

- processor interrupt assignment: Each pin can be assigned to deliver
  interrupts to a different processor on the board.  This pin might be
  assigned to the MSM, that pin might go to the DSP, the next might
  go to the modem, and so on...

I think everything I wrote before still stands.

I was simply trying to write a shorter email more focused on a single
point, and a point that was more directly related to HW and driver
implementation.

Then, if/when we reach(ed) a consensus on that, I was going to start
talking about the client driver <-> pinmux driver mapping table.

So this is definitely an important point where I'm thinking differently.

I see the pinmux driver as *always* exposing *all* possible combinations
of pin/function/... The pinmux driver would be purely SoC-specific and
not have any knowledge at all of the board/machine/... Most likely, the
configuration the pinmux driver exposes would be hard-coded in tables in
the driver file, and never come from board-files or device-tree, since it
would not vary.

To me, this keeps the pinmux driver as simple as possible; it always works
in exactly the same way, all its data is hard-coded, so there's never a
need to parse it out of device-tree, etc. All (board) policy is implemented
by the pinmux core, and the pinmux driver doesn't know anything about it.

(although the initial board-specific setup of the HW may come from device-
tree, that would be a one-time setup, and wouldn't affect the data exposed
to the interface between the pinmux core and pinmux driver)

To make pinmux work in a board-/machine-specific fashion, the function-
mapping table (as processed by the pinmux core only) would be board-/
machine-specific, and come from board-files or device-tree. It would be
purely down to this mapping table which functions were legal to use on
which pins for a given board/machine.

I think that's the wrong conclusion; 1:many isn't the same as 1:all/any.
The data model might be structured to allow that, but in practice most
HW allows 1:some_subset, not 1:all/any. I think this was well-covered in
some other recent responses in this thread.

As a few other replies pointed out, a number of chips do allow the at
least some logical functions to be mux'd onto different pins. Tegra
certainly isn't unique in this.

Certainly I'd assume the number of pins/groups that a given function
could be mux'd out onto is small, say 1-3. But, certainly not limited
to just 1 in many cases.

Just a note: There are Tegra-based boards in wide use (in fact, boards
for which some support is in mainline) that make active use of switching
the routing of a HW function between different pins at run-time.
Specifically, switching 1 I2C controller between 2 busses on the board.

In fact, soon after the pinmux system is upstream, I hope we (NVIDIA) will
be writing and submitting an I2C bus mux driver based on that. In our
downstream kernels, we do this as custom code in the I2C host driver, but
I want to move it out into a separate driver that anyone can use.

Keeping the Tegra-specific stuff hidden is a good goal. However, if we do
that too much, the pinmux API might not be usable on Tegra, so we'll fail
to unify everything within it.

even there are still many discussions about data model and
device/function mapping, it is basically usable to CSR SiRFprimaII.
Then i moved the old prima2 pinmux to this framework and made some
basic tests.
Basic APIs like pinmux_get/pinmux_enable/pinmux_disable/pinmux_put
should be working.

Linus, i'll also send the patch of csr pinmux prototype. you might
review and take it as another example except your stericsson U300 and
take care while you merge pinmux.

I guess I don't quite understand the implications of what you wrote here;
I interpret the above as meaning you still prefer the data model that's
in your existing patches. However, this can't be true given your response
about the function mappings below. So, I'll mainly ignore the above and
focus on responding below:-)

OK. That sounds like exactly what I was asking for.

I'd argue that "locality" or "position" is in fact the pin name.

So, re-using my previous example of the data exposed by a pinmux driver:

> > Function i2c0
> > Function spi0
> > Pins 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
> > Pins 0, 1 accept functions i2c0, spi0
> > Pins 2, 3 accept functions i2c0
> > Pins 4, 5 accept functions spi0

Then, I think that the mapping table processed by the pinmux core might
look like:

device    devices_function_name pin_to_configure driver_function_name_for_pin
--------- --------------------- ---------------- ----------------------------
foo-i2c.0 busa                  0                i2c0
foo-i2c.0 busa                  1                i2c0
foo-i2c.0 busb                  0                i2c0
foo-i2c.0 busb                  1                i2c0
(supplied by board files or device-tree)

So, when device foo-i2c.0 requests function "busa", the pinmux core would
make a couple calls to the actual pinmux driver:

configure pin 0 for function i2c0
configure pin 1 for function i2c0

This model does require that the pinmux core potentially process multiple
entries in the mapping table for each driver-requested function.

If we didn't use "pin name" as the "locality" or "position" value, we'd
end up with a simpler mapping table:

device    devices_function_name locality driver_function_name_for_locality
--------- --------------------- -------- ----------------------------
foo-i2c.0 busa                  0        i2c0
foo-i2c.0 busb                  1        i2c0
(supplied by board files or device-tree)

However, we'd then need a extra table defining what each locality meant:

function locality list_of_pins_in_function_at_locality
-------- -------- ------------------------------------
i2c0     0        0, 1
i2c0     1        2, 3
(hard-coded into pinmux driver implementation)

It seems slightly more complex to me to have these two separate tables,
rather than just iterating over n entries in a single mapping table.

Still, I suppose this an implementation detail. I guess I also need to
think a little more about how both those models would work with Tegra,
where special functions are selected at a granularity of pin groups,
yet GPIO is selected at a granularity of a single pin. Perhaps that
final table I wrote above (mapping locality to pin list) might also help
represent Tegra's pin-group- rather than pin-level muxing capabilities...

I *think* this is what I have implemented in the v5 patch set,
have a look.

I can deal with it....

I have made the assumption that we want to handle groups
of pins, so a certain function in a certain position represents what
the device want to request.

Well, let's look at the code...

You're right, I have now introduced a spinlock to the pin descriptor
and take that before reading or writing descriptor fields like this.

+PINCTRL (PIN CONTROL) subsystem
+This document outlines the pin control subsystem in Linux
+
+This subsystem deals with:
+
+- Enumerating and naming controllable pins
+
+- Multiplexing of pins, pads, fingers (etc) see below for details
+
+The intention is to also deal with:
+
+- Software-controlled biasing and driving mode specific pins, such as
+  pull-up/down, open drain etc, load capacitance configuration when controlled
+  by software, etc.
+
+
+Top-level interface
+===================
+
+Definition of PIN CONTROLLER:
+
+- A pin controller is a piece of hardware, usually a set of registers, that
+  can control PINs. It may be able to multiplex, bias, set load capacitance,
+  set drive strength etc for individual pins or groups of pins.
+
+Definition of PIN:
+
+- PINS are equal to pads, fingers, balls or whatever packaging input or
+  output line you want to control and these are denoted by unsigned integers
+  in the range 0..maxpin. This numberspace is local to each PIN CONTROLLER, so
+  there may be several such number spaces in a system. This pin space may
+  be sparse - i.e. there may be gaps in the space with numbers where no
+  pin exists.
+
+When a PIN CONTROLLER is instatiated, it will register a descriptor to the
+pin control framework, and this descriptor contains an array of pin descriptors
+describing the pins handled by this specific pin controller.
+
+Here is an example of a PGA (Pin Grid Array) chip seen from underneath:
+
+        A   B   C   D   E   F   G   H
+
+   8    o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
+
+   7    o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
+
+   6    o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
+
+   5    o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
+
+   4    o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
+
+   3    o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
+
+   2    o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
+
+   1    o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o
+
+To register a pin controller and name all the pins on this package we can do
+this in our driver:
+
+#include <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h>
+
+const struct pinctrl_pin_desc __refdata foo_pins[] = {
+      PINCTRL_PIN(0, "A1"),
+      PINCTRL_PIN(1, "A2"),
+      PINCTRL_PIN(2, "A3"),
+      ...
+      PINCTRL_PIN(61, "H6"),
+      PINCTRL_PIN(62, "H7"),
+      PINCTRL_PIN(63, "H8"),
+};
+
+static struct pinctrl_desc foo_desc = {
+	.name = "foo",
+	.pins = foo_pins,
+	.npins = ARRAY_SIZE(foo_pins),
+	.maxpin = 63,
+	.owner = THIS_MODULE,
+};
+
+int __init foo_probe(void)
+{
+	struct pinctrl_dev *pctl;
+
+	pctl = pinctrl_register(&foo_desc, <PARENT>, NULL);
+	if (IS_ERR(pctl))
+		pr_err("could not register foo pin driver\n");
+}
+
+Pins usually have fancier names than this. You can find these in the dataheet
+for your chip. Notice that the core pinctrl.h file provides a fancy macro
+called PINCTRL_PIN() to create the struct entries. As you can see I enumerated
+the pins from 0 in the upper left corner to 63 in the lower right corner,
+this enumeration was arbitrarily chosen.
+
+For a padring with 467 pads, as opposed to actual pins, I used an enumeration
+like this, walking around the edge of the chip, which seems to be industry
+standard too (all these pads had names, too):
+
+
+     0 ..... 104
+   466        105
+     .        .
+     .        .
+   358        224
+    357 .... 225
+
+
+Interaction with the GPIO subsystem
+===================================
+
+The GPIO drivers may want to perform operations of various types on the same
+physical pins that are also registered as GPIO pins.
+
+Since the pin controller subsystem have its pinspace local to the pin
+controller we need a mapping so that the pin control subsystem can figure out
+which pin controller handles control of a certain GPIO pin. This member
+in the pin controller descriptor handles this mapping:
+
+static struct pinctrl_desc foo_desc = {
+	...
+	.gpio_base = FIRST_PIN,
+};
+
+When GPIO-specific functions in the pin control subsystem are called, these
+mappings will be used to look up the apropriate pin controller by inspecting
+and matching the pin to this pin range.
+
+The correspondence for the range from the GPIO subsystem to the pin controller
+subsystem must be one-to-one. Thus the GPIO pins are in the pin controller
+range [0 .. maxpin] where maxpin is the specified end of the pin range.
+
+For all functionalities dealing with pin biasing, pin muxing etc, the pin
+controller subsystem will subtract the .gpio_base offset from the passed
+in gpio pin number, and pass that on to the pin control driver, so the driver
+will get an offset into its handled number range.
+
+(If the GPIO subsystem is ever refactored to use a local per-GPIO controller
+pin space, this mapping will need to be augmented accordingly.)
+
+
+PINMUX interfaces
+=================
+
+These calls use the pinmux_* naming prefix.  No other calls should use that
+prefix.
+
+
+What is pinmuxing?
+==================
+
+PINMUX, also known as padmux, ballmux, alternate functions or mission modes
+is a way for chip vendors producing some kind of electrical packages to use
+a certain physical pin (ball, pad, finger, etc) for multiple mutually exclusive
+functions, depending on the application. By "application" in this context
+we usually mean a way of soldering or wiring the package into an electronic
+system, even though the framework makes it possible to also change the function
+at runtime.
+
+Here is an example of a PGA (Pin Grid Array) chip seen from underneath:
+

+
+This is not tetris. The game to think of is chess. Not all PGA/BGA packages
+are chessboard-like, big ones have "holes" in some arrangement according to
+different design patterns, but we're using this as a simple example. Of the
+pins you see some will be taken by things like a few VCC and GND to feed power
+to the chip, and quite a few will be taken by large ports like an external
+memory interface. The remaining pins will often be subject to pin multiplexing.
+
+The example 8x8 PGA package above will have pin numbers 0 thru 63 assigned to
+its physical pins. It will name the pins { A1, A2, A3 ... H6, H7, H8 } using
+pinctrl_register_pins_[sparse|dense]() and a suitable data set as shown
+earlier.
+
+In this 8x8 BGA package the pins { A8, A7, A6, A5 } can be used as an SPI port
+(these are four pins: CLK, RXD, TXD, FRM). In that case, pin B5 can be used as
+some general-purpose GPIO pin. However, in another setting, pins { A5, B5 } can
+be used as an I2C port (these are just two pins: SCL, SDA). Needless to say,
+we cannot use the SPI port and I2C port at the same time. However in the inside
+of the package the silicon performing the SPI logic can alternatively be routed
+out on pins { G4, G3, G2, G1 }.
+
+On the botton row at { A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1, G1, H1 } we have something
+special - it's an external MMC bus that can be 2, 4 or 8 bits wide, and it will
+consume 2, 4 or 8 pins respectively, so either { A1, B1 } are taken or
+{ A1, B1, C1, D1 } or all of them. If we use all 8 bits, we cannot use the SPI
+port on pins { G4, G3, G2, G1 } of course.
+
+This way the silicon blocks present inside the chip can be multiplexed "muxed"
+out on different pin ranges. Often contemporary SoC (systems on chip) will
+contain several I2C, SPI, SDIO/MMC, etc silicon blocks that can be routed to
+different pins by pinmux settings.
+
+Since general-purpose I/O pins (GPIO) are typically always in shortage, it is
+common to be able to use almost any pin as a GPIO pin if it is not currently
+in use by some other I/O port.
+
+
+Pinmux conventions
+==================
+
+The purpose of the pinmux subsystem is to abstract and provide pinmux settings
+to the devices you choose to instantiate in your machine configuration. It is
+inspired by the clk, GPIO and regulator subsystems, so devices will request
+their mux setting, but it's also possible to request a single pin for e.g.
+GPIO.
+
+Definitions:
+
+- FUNCTIONS can be switched in and out by a driver residing with the pinmux
+  subsystem in the drivers/pinmux/* directory of the kernel. The pinmux driver
+  knows the possible functions. In the example above you can identify three
+  pinmux functions, two for spi and one for i2c.
+
+- FUNCTIONS are assumed to be enumerable from zero in a one-dimensional array.
+  In this case the array could be something like: { spi0-0, spi0-1, i2c0-0 }
+  for the three available settings. The knowledge of this one-dimensional array
+  and it's machine-specific particulars is kept inside the pinmux driver,
+  from the outside only these enumerators are known, and the driver core
+  can request the name or the list of pins belonging to a certain enumerator.
+
+- FUNCTIONS are MAPPED to a certain device by the board file, device tree or
+  similar machine setup configuration mechanism, similar to how regulators are
+  connected to devices, usually by name. In the example case we can define
+  that this particular machine shall use device spi0 with pinmux setting
+  spi0-1 and i2c0 on i2c0-1, something like the two-tuple:
+  { {spi0, spi0-1}, {i2c0, i2c0-1} }
+
+- FUNCTIONS are provided on a first-come first-serve basis, so if some other
+  device mux setting or GPIO pin request has already taken your physical pin,
+  you will be denied the use of it. To get (activate) a new setting, the old
+  one has to be put (deactivated) first.
+
+Sometimes the documentation and hardware registers will be oriented around
+pads (or "fingers") rather than pins - these are the soldering surfaces on the
+silicon inside the package, and may or may not match the actual number of
+pins/balls underneath the capsule. Pick some enumeration that makes sense to
+you. Define enumerators only for the pins you can control if that makes sense.
+
+
+Pinmux drivers
+==============
+
+It is the responsibility of the pinmux driver to determine whether or not
+the requested function can actually be enabled, and in that case poke the
+hardware so that this happens.
+
+The driver will for all calls be provided an offset pin number into its own
+pin range. If you have 2 chips with 8x8 pins, the first chips pins will have
+numbers 0 thru 63 and the second one pins 64 thru 127, but the driver for the
+second chip will be passed numbers in the range 0 thru 63 anyway, base offset
+subtracted.
+
+Pinmux drivers are required to supply a few callback functions, some are
+optional. Usually the enable() and disable() functions are implemented,
+writing values into some certain registers to activate a certain mux setting
+for a certain pin.
+
+A simple driver for the above example will work by setting bits 0, 1, 2, 3,
+4 or 5 into some register named MUX, so it enumerates its available settings
+and their pin assignments, and expose them like this:
+
+#include <linux/pinctrl/pinmux.h>
+
+struct foo_pmx_func {
+	char *name;
+	const unsigned int *pins;
+	const unsigned num_pins;
+};

+static unsigned int i2c0_pins[] = { 24, 25 };
+static unsigned int spi0_1_pins[] = { 38, 46, 54, 62 };
+static unsigned int mmc0_1_pins[] = { 56, 57 };
+static unsigned int mmc0_2_pins[] = { 56, 57, 58, 59 };
+static unsigned int mmc0_3_pins[] = { 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63 };
+
+static struct foo_pmx_func myfuncs[] = {
+	{
+		.name = "spi0-0",
+		.pins = spi0_0_pins,
+		.num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(spi0_1_pins),
+	},
+	{
+		.name = "i2c0",
+		.pins = i2c0_pins,
+		.num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(i2c0_pins),
+	},
+	{
+		.name = "spi0-1",
+		.pins = spi0_1_pins,

+	},
+	{
+		.name = "mmc0-2bit",
+		.pins = mmc0_1_pins,
+		.num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(mmc0_1_pins),
+	},
+	{

+	},
+	{
+		.name = "mmc0-8bit",
+		.pins = mmc0_3_pins,
+		.num_pins = ARRAY_SIZE(mmc0_3_pins),
+	},
+};
+
+int foo_list(struct pinmux_dev *pmxdev, unsigned selector)
+{
+	if (selector >= ARRAY_SIZE(myfuncs))
+		return -EINVAL;
+	return 0;
+}
+
+const char *foo_get_fname(struct pinmux_dev *pmxdev, unsigned selector)
+{

+		return NULL;
+	return myfuncs[selector].name;
+}
+

+		return -EINVAL;
+	*pins = myfuncs[selector].pins;
+	*num_pins = myfuncs[selector].num_pins;
+	return 0;
+}
+
+int foo_enable(struct pinmux_dev *pmxdev, unsigned selector)
+{
+	if (selector < ARRAY_SIZE(myfuncs))
+		write((read(MUX)|(1<<selector)), MUX)
+		return 0;
+	}
+	return -EINVAL;
+}
+
+int foo_disable(struct pinmux_dev *pmxdev, unsigned selector)
+{
+	if (selector < ARRAY_SIZE(myfuncs))
+		write((read(MUX) & ~(1<<selector)), MUX)
+		return 0;
+	}
+	return -EINVAL;
+}
+
+struct pinmux_ops pmxops = {
+	.list_functions = foo_list,
+	.get_function_name = foo_get_fname,
+	.get_function_pins = foo_get_pins,
+	.enable = foo_enable,
+	.disable = foo_disable,
+};
+
+/* Pinmux operations are handled by some pin controller */
+static struct pinctrl_desc foo_desc = {
+	...
+	.pmxops = pmxops,
+};
+
+Now the able reader will say: "wait - the driver needs to make sure it
+can set this and that bit at the same time, because else it will collide
+and wreak havoc in my electronics, and make sure noone else is using the
+other setting that it's incompatible with".
+
+In the example activating muxing 0 and 1 at the same time setting bits
+0 and 1, uses one pin in common so they would collide.
+
+The beauty of the pinmux subsystem is that since it keeps track of all
+pins and who is using them, it will already have denied an impossible
+request like that, so the driver does not need to worry about such
+things - when it gets a selector passed in, the pinmux subsystem makes
+sure no other device or GPIO assignment is already using the selected
+pins.
+
+The above functions are mandatory to implement for a pinmux driver.
+
+
+Pinmux interaction with the GPIO subsystem
+==========================================
+
+The function list could become long, especially if you can convert every
+individual pin into a GPIO pin independent of any other pins, then your
+function array can become 64 entries for each GPIO setting and then the
+device functions. For this reason there is an additional function you
+can implement to enable only GPIO on an individual pin: pinmux_request_gpio()
+and pinmux_free_gpio().
+
+These functions use the .gpio_base and .gpio_pins members of the pin
+controller as described above for the pin controller, to look up the target
+pin controller.
+
+
+
+Pinmux board/machine configuration
+==================================
+
+Boards and machines define how a certain complete running system is put
+together, including how GPIOs and devices are muxed, how regulators are
+constrained and how the clock tree looks. Of course pinmux settings are also
+part of this.
+
+A pinmux config for a machine looks pretty much like a simple regulator
+configuration, so for the example array above we want to enable i2c and
+spi on the second function mapping:
+
+#include <linux/pinctrl/machine.h>
+
+static struct pinmux_map pmx_mapping[] = {
+	{
+		.function = "spi0-1",
+		.dev_name = "foo-spi.0",
+		.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0",
+	},
+	{
+		.function = "i2c0",
+		.dev_name = "foo-i2c.0",
+		.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0",
+	},
+	{
+		.function = "mmc0-4bit",
+		.dev_name = "foo-mmc.0",
+		.ctrl_dev_name = "pinctrl.0",
+	},
+};
+
+As you can see we may have several pin controllers on the system and thus
+we need to specify which one of them that contain the functions we wish
+to map. The map can also use struct device * directly, so there is no
+inherent need to use strings to specify .dev_name or .ctrl_dev_name, these
+are for the situation where you do not have a handle to the struct device *,
+for example if they are not yet instantiated or cumbersome to obtain.
+
+Since the above construct is pretty common there is a helper macro to make
+it even more compact which assumes you want to use pinctrl.0 for mapping:
+
+static struct pinmux_map pmx_mapping[] = {
+       PINMUX_MAP_PRIMARY("spi0-1", "foo-spi.0"),
+       PINMUX_MAP_PRIMARY("i2c0", "foo-i2c.0"),
+       PINMUX_MAP_PRIMARY("mmc0-1", "foo-mmc.0"),
+};
+
+The dev_name here matches to the unique device name that can be used to look
+up the device struct (just like with clockdev or regulators). The function name
+must match a function provided by the pinmux driver handling this pin range.
+You register this pinmux mapping to the pinmux subsystem by simply:
+
+       ret = pinmux_register_mappings(&pmx_mapping, ARRAY_SIZE(pmx_mapping));
+
+
+Pinmux requests from drivers
+============================
+
+A driver may request a certain mux to be activated, usually just the default
+mux like this:
+
+#include <linux/pinctrl/pinmux.h>
+
+foo_probe()
+{
+	/* Allocate a state holder named "state" etc */
+	struct pinmux pmx;
+
+	pmx = pinmux_get(&device, NULL);
+	if IS_ERR(pmx)
+		return PTR_ERR(pmx);
+	pinmux_enable(pmx);
+
+	state->pmx = pmx;
+}
+
+foo_remove()
+{
+	pinmux_disable(state->pmx);
+	pinmux_put(state->pmx);
+}
+
+If you want a specific mux setting and not just the first one found for this
+device you can specify a specific mux setting, for example in the above example
+the second i2c0 setting: pinmux_get(&device, "spi0-2");
+
+This get/enable/disable/put sequence can just as well be handled by bus drivers
+if you don't want each and every driver to handle it and you know the
+arrangement on your bus.
+
+The pins are allocated for your device when you issue the pinmux_get() call,
+after this you should be able to see this in the debugfs listing of all pins.
