Devices sharing a reset GPIO could use the reset framework for
coordinated handling of that shared GPIO line.  We have several cases of
such needs, at least for Devicetree-based platforms.

If Devicetree-based device requests a reset line, while "resets"
Devicetree property is missing but there is a "reset-gpios" one,
instantiate a new "reset-gpio" platform device which will handle such
reset line.  This allows seamless handling of such shared reset-gpios
without need of changing Devicetree binding [1].

To avoid creating multiple "reset-gpio" platform devices, store the
Devicetree "reset-gpios" GPIO specifiers used for new devices on a
linked list.  Later such Devicetree GPIO specifier (phandle to GPIO
controller, GPIO number and GPIO flags) is used to check if reset
controller for given GPIO was already registered.

If two devices have conflicting "reset-gpios" property, e.g. with
different ACTIVE_xxx flags, this would allow to spawn two separate
"reset-gpio" devices, where the second would fail probing on busy GPIO
request.

Hi Krzysztof,

something is odd with the addresses on this patch, because neither GPIO
maintainer is on CC nor linux-gpio@vger, and it's such a GPIO-related
patch. We only saw it through side effects making <linux/gpio/driver.h>
optional, as required by this patch.

Please also CC Geert Uytterhoeven, the author of the GPIO aggregator.

In my naive view, this implements the following:

reset -> virtual "gpio" -> many physical gpios[0..n]

So if there was already a way in the kernel to map one GPIO to
many GPIOs, the framework could just use that with a simple
single GPIO?

See the bindings in:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/gpio-delay.yaml

This is handled by drivers/gpio/gpio-aggregator.c.

This supports a 1-to-1 map: one GPIO in, one GPIO out, same offset.
So if that is extended to support 1-to-many, this problem is solved.

Proposed solution: add a single boolean property such as
aggregate-all-gpios; to the gpio-delay node, making it provide
one single gpio at offset 0 on the consumer side, and refuse any
more consumers.

This will also solve the problem with induced delays on
some GPIO lines as I can see was discussed in the bindings,
the gpio aggregator already supports that, but it would work
fine with a delay being zero as well.

This avoids all the hackery with driver stubs etc as well.

Yours,

This is a different problem: it supports many users enabling the same
GPIO (in Krzysztof's patch it's one but could be more if needed) but -
unlike the broken NONEXCLUSIVE GPIOs in GPIOLIB - it counts the number
of users and doesn't disable the GPIO for as long as there's at least
one.

Nothing is odd - I use get_maintainers.pl which just don't print your
names. I can add your addresses manually, no problem, but don't blame
the contributor that get_maintainers.pl has a missing content-regex. If
you want to be Cced on usage of GPIOs, you need to be sure that
MAINTAINERS file has appropriate pattern.

It does not, there is no single GPIO here. There is a single reset
controller, though, but still multiple GPIOs in DTS.

It does not match the hardware thus I don't know how to implement it in
DTS while keeping the requirement that we are describing hardware, not
OS abstractions.

And how do you solve the reset requirements? The problem is not just to
share GPIO. The problem is to share in a way that devices operate
properly when they assert/deassert reset.

So none of these ideas were posted in previous threads, just because you
were not CCed (except one thread)?

I think that is over-reliance on tooling, I think if I author a patch
creating a struct gpio_chip it's natural to CC the GPIO maintainers,
just by intuition. Maybe that's just me.

I guess if one wants to automate maybe get_maintainers should
CC GPIO maintainers on patches that has a + #include <linux/gpio/driver.h>
in the patch body but it seems like stretching it to me, it's just too
much process.

Aha so this is problem similar to what regulators are doing,
where they had this problem that a single GPIO can contain a
regulator used by many devices?

There the solution is something along the line that the first
consumer turns on the light when it arrives and the last consumer
turns it off when it leaves, at least that is the idea.

That solution isn't the pretties either :/

But if we find a solution for the reset controller, it appears to
me that the pattern should be re-usable for regulators too?

I think Bartosz says in another reply that *_NONEXCLUSIVE that
the regulators are using is broken so if we are to invent something
new we should make it available for everyone.

OK fair enough I got it wrong.

(the rest of comments are probably fallouts from the misunderstanding).

Yeah I should really look at lei!

I just haven't had time to get into it, because it appears it appeals
most to people who use local clients like mutt. And I use gmail
(yeah ...) I guess I would have to change my whole workflow to
accomodate for lei, but it may very well be the right thing to do, I
did change everything for b4 already.

I don't know if the NONEXCLUSIVE stuff is broken, if you mean reference
counting isn't working on them, then that is by design because they were
invented for regulators and such use cases that do their own reference
counting. It's also used for hacks where people need to look up a desc in
a second spot, (perhaps we can fix those better).

As I say in commit b0ce7b29bfcd090ddba476f45a75ec0a797b048a
"This solution with a special flag is not entirely elegant and should ideally
be replaced by something more careful as this makes it possible for
several consumers to enable/disable the same GPIO line to the left
and right without any consistency."

I think for regulators (which is the vast majority using it) it isn't broken
because the regulator reference counting is working.

So if we solve that problem for reset, we probably should put it in
drivers/gpio/* somewhere so we can reuse the same solution for
regulators and get rid of NONEXCLUSIVE altogether I think?

The NONEXCLUSIVE stuff was prompted by converting regulators to
gpio descriptors, so it was for the greater good one can say. Or the
lesser evil :( my judgement can be questioned here.

Their own reference counting or whatever other coordination they want -
the deal is that users are responsible for their own coordination
whatever that might be.

Right, previously we were working out if a GPIO was shared by looking at
the GPIO number but with descriptors we need to get the GPIO before we
can do anything with it, including figure out if it's shared.

I discussed the non-exclusive GPIOs with Bartosz quite a lot, who was
Cced since beginning of this patchset, because that was my first
approach, which was rejected:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/b7aeda24-d638-45b7-8e30-80d287f498f8@sirena.org.uk/

The non-exclusive GPIO was made explicitly for regulators, so it is
working fine there, but it is broken everywhere else, where the drivers
do not handle it in sane way as regulator core does.

To make it working, either GPIO should be enable-count-aware, to which
Bartosz was opposing with talks with me, or the subsystem should mimic
regulators approach. In some way, my patchset is the second way here -
reset framework subsystem being aware of shared GPIO and handles the
enable-count, even though it is not using non-exclusive flag.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

I looked at it, it's 8 users in the entire kernel that aren't regulators,
so let's put it on the TODO to get rid of those.

That's nice, I was thinking if it could be abstracted so the regulator
core can move away from this too?

I guess it may be an issue that regulators are not using Device Tree
exclusively, but also has to deal with a slew of platform_devices:s :/
IIRC that was one of the reasons why it looks as it does.

Maybe reset can only solve this in an elegant way if the solution is
tightly coupled with DT and you have the advantage that you can require
it from day one? (It looks a bit like that to me.)

Also ACPI, and this is a long standing binding so we can't change the
ABI for DT.  We could potentially use a refcounting mechanism provided
by the GPIO core but we'd need to know when the refcount changes from 0
to 1 and back, we need to take other actions (inserting delays and
generating notifications) when it does so I'm not sure how exciting it
is to factor out the refcount.  I think part of the decision making with
the current design was that there was likely going to need to be some
higher level stuff like that in the users so it wasn't clear that trying
to abstract the reference count away in gpiolib was buying us much.

For the record: I'm not 100% opposed to the enable-count-awarness of
GPIOs but don't want it to be the standard. I'm open for introducing a
wrapper built around the core, low-level GPIO API but I've just
dropped a big patchset addressing the access control and serialization
issues for the GPIO consumer API and I would rather work towards
making it at least more-or-less correct in the first place before we
start overcomplicating it again.

Are any reviewers comments unresolved or unsatisfied with the
discussion? I have impression that discussion bikeschedded a bit towards
NONEXCLUSIVE, which was later clarified that NONEXCLUSIVE is not the
solution for this problem, but maybe we miss some final Ack?

Anyone is here unhappy with this solution?

To remind: this is a generic solution solving at least two people's
problems, probably more. It does not solve all people's problem, but I
doubt anyone has enough of time to satisfy all people...

I can't think of anything better, that is reasonable to ask for.

I feel slightly icky about the way the code reaches into gpiolib, and I think
regulators should be able to reuse the code, but unfortunately only the day
they have no board files left :/

I do feel the core code handling "reset-gpios" could as well have been
used to handle "enable-gpios" in regulators, just that the regulator code
has more requirements, and would be really hard to rewrite, and deals
with descriptors passed in from drivers instead of centralizing it.

Like regulators, reset grows core support for handling GPIO for resets
which is *long due*, given how common it must be. We really need
something like this, and this is certainly elegant enough to do the job.

As long as it doesn't include gpiolib.h, I'm fine with it.
