I did pick this up again a few days back. I'm struggling with Rob's request for not peeking into struct property and/or utilizing overlays. Hoping to figure this out shortly, so I can get v3 in shape. Regards, Bjorn
The USB IP-block found in most Qualcomm platforms is modelled in the Linux kernel as 3 different independent device drivers, but as shown by the already existing layering violations in the Qualcomm glue driver they can not be operated independently. With the current implementation, the glue driver registers the core and has no way to know when this is done. As a result, e.g. the suspend callbacks needs to guard against NULL pointer dereferences when trying to peek into the struct dwc3 found in the drvdata of the child. Missing from the upstream Qualcomm USB support is handling of role switching, in which the glue needs to be notified upon DRD mode changes. Several attempts has been made through the years to register callbacks etc, but they always fall short when it comes to handling of the core's probe deferral on resources etc. Furhtermore, the DeviceTree binding is a direct representation of the Linux driver model, and doesn't necessarily describe "the USB IP-block". This series therefor attempts to flatten the driver split, and operate the glue and core out of the same platform_device instance. And in order to do this, the DeviceTree representation of the IP block is flattened. --- Changes in v2: - Rewrite after ACPI removal, multiport support and interrupt fixes - Completely changed strategy for DeviceTree binding, as previous idea of using snps,dwc3 as a generic fallback required unreasonable changes to that binding. - Abandoned idea of supporting both flattened and unflattened device model in the one driver. As Johan pointed out, it will leave the race condition holes and will make the code harder to understand. Furthermore, the role switching logic that we intend to introduce following this would have depended on the user updating their DeviceTree blobs. - Per above, introduced the dynamic DeviceTree rewrite - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231016-dwc3-refactor-v1-0-ab4a84165470@quicinc.com/ --- Bjorn Andersson (7): dt-bindings: usb: snps,dwc3: Split core description dt-bindings: usb: Introduce qcom,snps-dwc3 of: dynamic: Don't discard children upon node attach usb: dwc3: core: Expose core driver as library usb: dwc3: qcom: Don't reply on drvdata during probe usb: dwc3: qcom: Transition to flattened model arm64: dts: qcom: sc8280x: Flatten the USB nodes .../devicetree/bindings/usb/qcom,dwc3.yaml | 13 +- .../devicetree/bindings/usb/qcom,snps-dwc3.yaml | 608 +++++++++++++++++++++ .../devicetree/bindings/usb/snps,dwc3-common.yaml | 417 ++++++++++++++ .../devicetree/bindings/usb/snps,dwc3.yaml | 391 +------------ arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sa8295p-adp.dts | 12 +- arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sa8540p-ride.dts | 5 +- arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sc8280xp-crd.dts | 12 +- .../dts/qcom/sc8280xp-lenovo-thinkpad-x13s.dts | 11 +- arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sc8280xp.dtsi | 138 +++-- drivers/of/dynamic.c | 1 - drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c | 169 ++++-- drivers/usb/dwc3/core.h | 3 + drivers/usb/dwc3/dwc3-qcom.c | 323 ++++++++--- 13 files changed, 1483 insertions(+), 620 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 864b1099d16fc7e332c3ad7823058c65f890486c change-id: 20231016-dwc3-refactor-931e3b08a8b9 Best regards,
