Lenovo could decide tomorrow to replace the ITE chip with a Nuvoton chip, use the same API to talk with it, and the watchdog would work perfectly fine. This is a driver for the watchdog implemented in the embedded controller on Lenovo SE10. It is not a watchdog driver for ITE5632. Again, the EC chip used in that Lenovo system is completely irrelevant, even more so since this seems to be one of those undocumented ITE chips which officially don't even exist. Claiming that this would be a watchdog driver for ITE5632 would be not only misleading but simply wrong. It seems that we can not agree on this. That means that, from my perspective, there is no real path to move forward. Wim will have to decide if and how to proceed. Thanks, Guenter

Is this as simple as renaming this driver as (for example) a lenovo_se_wdt device, and adding in the appropriate checking during the init that it is only used on Lenovo SE10 platforms? I don't understand the concern if a different chip was used - wouldn't that need a different driver at that point? If it's more subtle than that, is there something you propose instead? Thanks Mark

For example, the driver does not return errors if its wait loops time out, and it doesn't reserve the IO address range used by the chip. Tying the wait time to the number of wait loops and not to the elapsed time is also something that would need to be explained. Also, I notice that the communication is similar to the communication with Super-IO chips from ITE, but not the same. Specifically, the unlock key is the same, but the lock key is different. This means that the code may unlock other chips from ITE in a given system, but not lock them. Some of those chips are ... let's call it less then perfect. They will act oddly on the bus if left unlocked. Some of those chips will act oddly if an attempt is made to lock them after unlocking them, and they have to remain unlocked to avoid corrupting communication with other chips on the same bus. The impact on other chips from the same vendor will have to be explored further. > I don't understand the concern if a different chip was used - wouldn't that need a different driver at that point? > Why would that be the case ? Maybe I am missing something essential. If you insist to tie this driver to the ITE5632 and not to the system, you will have to provide additional information. The chip does not even exist in public, so no one but you and ITE really knows what its capabilities are. Is this is a chip which is used, or is going to be used, in a variety of systems, possibly including systems from other vendors ? Is the communication between main CPU and the chip tied to the chip and will/may only be used with this chip or variants of it ? Is the ITE5632 a SuperIO-like chip with fixed capabilities, or is it a programmed micro-controller ? To a large degree all that is due to ITE and its customers not providing information about their chips to the public. Due to that lack of information, my assumption was that it is a programmed micro-controller. The code itself suggests, through the use of the term "EC" in the driver, that it is an embedded controller, not a Suoer-IO or other fixed-capability chip. If that is not the case, and if the communication with the chip is fixed and not programmable, you'll have to explain that. If it is an EC, the protocol is defined by its microcode, and the driver needs to be tied to the systems using that microcode. If it is a fixed-capability chip, the driver should not suggest that it communicates with an embedded controller but with a fixed-capability chip. Thanks, Guenter

If we make it so this driver is only used on the SE10 platform, then does that remove the concern? At that point it's specific to that HW platform and no HW changes are planned. Agreed that having this available generically is not a good idea. > >> I don't understand the concern if a different chip was used - wouldn't that need a different driver at that point? >> > > Why would that be the case ? > > Maybe I am missing something essential. If you insist to tie this driver to the > ITE5632 and not to the system, you will have to provide additional information. I'm in agreement we should tie this to the platform - we'll make that change.

Yeah, ack to that - and in that's something we need to address going forward in contracts we set for platforms that will have Linux support. I can't change what has already been done I'm afraid. We do have access, under NDA, to more details - but we're also limited in what we can disclose. I need to go look at the details for this again, with David, and see what we can do to address any questions; but there are going to be some limits I'm afraid and I'm hoping they aren't blockers.

Will look into this. Thanks for the detailed notes - we weren't sure what had been missing from the driver since the last submission so it's helpful to know where improvements are needed. Appreciate the patience as this is a learning experience for us for this kernel sub-tree. Mark

I can't say that I am surprised. It is quite common for chips from ITE. Most of them seem to be custom builds made for specific customers/boards, with little if any information available. People providing tools for Windows can often sign NDAs with board vendors to get the information they need to implement support in those tools.

My best guess would be that it is an NDS32 based micro-controller, related to IT5671. Of course, the next question would be if this chip has additional functionality, such as hardware monitoring. I guess I'll see that when I get a patch introducing its hwmon driver. Guenter

This device is capable of more than watchdog functionality. On this platform it does provide some temperature sensors (it could do fan control but the device is fanless so that's moot). My understanding is this means the right way forward is to create a MFD driver. I played with this a bit, and think I understand what is involved - but wanted to check if there were any recommendations on the following plan: - Create a lenovo-think-mfd driver. We'd use this to probe the system (DMI) and then match it up with our platforms and use appropriate mfd_cells. - Initially we'd target the device on the SE10. We also have the watchdog driver for the SE30 (NCT6692D device) that I think may be a good candidate too. - Create a new lenovo-se10-wdt watchdog driver, that would be linked to the MFD driver. - (Once confirmed) do the same for the lenovo-se30-wdt driver. - I'm going to look at the temp sensors for the SE10, but don't plan on having that in the initial patchset. It's something we'd add at a later date. If that's all logical - are there any preferences as to how these come in as commits? I'm guessing one for the mfd driver, one for the SE10 watchdog, one for the SE30 watchdog? Documentation would need to be updated as well. Anything else that would be important? Would appreciate if you can let me know if I'm missing anything or if I'm heading in the wrong direction. Thanks Mark

Is it necessary to treat this differently than, say, drivers/hwmon/it87.c and drivers/watchdog/it87_wdt.c ? Those work together nicely because most of the address space is separate; access through Super-IO registers is limited enough that it can be shared by using request_muxed_region() in both drivers. I'll have to look deeper into NCT6692D (and NCT6686, for that matter), to see if those require mfd drivers. I'll also need to get the datasheets for those chips and confirm that they really need different watchdog drivers to start with. Guenter

Quick look at the watchdog driver and it looks possible but I need to check the details more carefully. Afraid I can't share the datasheet as I don't have permission to release it.

For NCT6692D, I asked Nuvoton if they can share the datasheet. Given that it is some kind of security controller chip, it may well be that Lenovo has an NDA with Nuvoton which prevents them from sharing the datasheet. We'll see. Undocumented ITE chips are simply not supportable. No matter what, someone will have to step up as maintainer for those chips. Guenter

I'd expect myself or David to need to respond to any issues. Looking at the it87 driver - it looks like the main thing is the request/release of the region when doing a superio_enter/exit, which we are missing and would be needed. Can definitely do that in our version, instead of the MFD, if that is preferred. I haven't gone and looked back at the NCT devices again. Need to do that. Thanks Mark

This modules is to allow for the new ITE 5632 EC chip to support the watchdog for initial use in the Lenovo SE10 Signed-off-by: David Ober <dober6023@gmail.com> V2 Fix stop to deactivate wdog on unload of module V2 Remove extra logging that is not needed V2 change udelays to usleep_range V2 Changed to now request region on start and release on stop instead of for every ping and read/write V3 add counter to while loops so it will not hang V3 rework code to use platform_device_register_simple V3 rework getting the Chip ID to remove duplicate code and close IO V3 change some extra logging to be debug only --- drivers/watchdog/Kconfig | 10 ++ drivers/watchdog/Makefile | 1 + drivers/watchdog/ite5632_wdt.c | 278 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 289 insertions(+) create mode 100644 drivers/watchdog/ite5632_wdt.c
