From: Levin Du <djw@t-chip.com.cn>

Some GPIOs sit in the GRF_SOC_CON registers of Rockchip SoCs,
which do not belong to the general pinctrl.

Adding gpio-syscon support makes controlling regulator or
LED using these special pins very easy by reusing existing
drivers, such as gpio-regulator and led-gpio.

Signed-off-by: Levin Du <djw@t-chip.com.cn>

Changes in v2:
- Rename gpio_syscon10 to gpio_mute in doc

Changes in v1:
- Refactured for general gpio-syscon usage for Rockchip SoCs.
- Add doc rockchip,gpio-syscon.txt

There's no need for this child node. Just make the parent node a gpio 
controller.

Hi Rob, it is not clear to me. Do you suggest that the grf node should 
be a gpio controller,
like below?

+    grf: syscon at ff100000 {
+        compatible = "rockchip,gpio-syscon", "rockchip,rk3328-grf", 
"syscon", "simple-mfd";
+        //...
+        gpio-controller;
+        #gpio-cells = <2>;
+        gpio,syscon-dev = <&grf 0x0428 0>;
+    };

or just reserve the following case in the doc?

+    grf: syscon at ff100000 {
+        compatible = "rockchip,rk3328-grf", "syscon", "simple-mfd";
+        //...
+    };
+
+    gpio_mute: gpio-mute {
+        compatible = "rockchip,gpio-syscon";
+        gpio-controller;
+        #gpio-cells = <2>;
+        gpio,syscon-dev = <&grf 0x0428 0>;
+    };


Thanks

Yes, but drop "rockchip,gpio-syscon" and "simple-mfd".

And drop this. It may be used in the kernel, but it is not a
documented property.

I would disagree quite a bit here. The grf are the "general register files",
a bunch of registers used for quite a lot of things, and so it seems
among other users, also a gpio-controller for some more random pins
not controlled through the regular gpio controllers.

For a more fully stocked grf, please see
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3288.dtsi#n855
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399.dtsi#n1338

So the gpio controller should definitly also be a subnode.

The gpio in question is called "mute", so I'd think the gpio-syscon driver
should just define a "rockchip,rk3328-gpio-mute" compatible and contain
all the register voodoo in the driver itself and not define it in the dt.

So it should probably look like

grf: syscon at ff100000 {
        compatible = "rockchip,rk3328-grf", "syscon", "simple-mfd";

	[all the other syscon sub-devices]

	gpio_mute: gpio-mute {
		compatible = "rockchip,rk3328-gpio-mute";
		gpio-controller;
		#gpio-cells = <2>;
	};

	[more other syscon sub-devices]
};

Sigh, yes, if there are a bunch of functions needing subnodes like the
above, then yes that makes sense. But that's not what has been
presented. Please make some attempt at defining *all* the functions.
An actual binding would be nice, but I'll settle for just a list of
things. The list should have functions that have DT dependencies (like
clocks for phys in the above) because until you do, you don't need
child nodes.

Is there really just one GPIO? If it has a defined function, then is
it really GP? Can you control direction? I know Linus W doesn't like
that kind of abuse of GPIO.

Shall we go the generic "rockchip,gpio-syscon" way, or the specific
  "rockchip,rk3328-gpio-mute" way? I prefer the former one.

The property of "gpio,syscon-dev" in gpio-syscon driver should be 
documented.
Since the gpio controller is defined in the dtsi file, which inevitably 
contains voodoo
register addresses. But at the board level dts file, there won't be more 
register
addresses.

In rk3328.dtsi file, there are lots of line "rockchip,grf = <&grf>;" in 
various nodes,
such as tsadc,  cru, gmac2io, gmac2phy, and also pinctrl, which are not 
sub nodes of
`grf`, but for reference only. The gpio-syscon node should also have 
similar behavior.
  They are not strongly coupled. The gpio-syscon node should be defined 
outside of the
`grf` node.

The "mute" pin is a output only GPIO, which is already supported by 
setting flags in the gpio-syscon
  driver. And yes, this pin has a defined function, but can also be used 
for general purpose operation.

I'm sceptic.

That doesn't sound like "general purpose input output" at all.

It sounds like special purpose, for a mute button.

Does it use IRQ? I would recommend implementing
drivers/input/keyboard/syscon-keys.c in the same vein
as drivers/leds/leds-syscon.c so you can avoid indirection
through GPIO for no good reason at all.

I already have other good uses for such a generic
input driver.

To quote Levin from the other mail:
--------
The "mute" pin is a output only GPIO, which is already supported by 
setting flags in the gpio-syscon
  driver. And yes, this pin has a defined function, but can also be used 
for general purpose operation.
--------

So to summarize, the documentation calls it "mute", but it is usable as
a general pin, which is the reason Levin is working on it - because on his
board this pin is used to switch between two voltages (aka a gpio-regulator)
for the sdmmc controller [3.3V + 1.8V].

Available pin settings are output-enable + of course the high/low setting
and I think I remember there is even a pull setting for it in the GRF 
somewhere - but my memory might be fuzzy here.

That's the problem with the Rockchip-GRF, you only realize its content
when implementing specific features. 

Like on the rk3399 the table of the register-list of the GRF alone is 11
pages long with the register details tables taking up another 230 pages.
And functional description is often somewhat thin.

So I'm not sure I fully understand what you're asking, but in general
we define the bindings for sub-devices when tackling these individual
components, see for example
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit?id=72580a49a837c2c7da83f698c00592eac41537d8

which also has a real phy-driver behind it and binding against that
subnode of the GRF simple-mfd.

These are real IP blocks somewhere on the socs, with regular supplies
like resets, clocks etc in most cases. Only their controlling registers
got dumped into the GRF for some reason.

And in retrospect it really looks like we're doing something right,
because it seems these bindings seem quite stable over time.

looks like I convinced Linus that we're not abusing anything with this :-) .

Past experience shows that the GRF is not really suitable for
generalization, as it's more of a dumping ground where chip designers
can put everything that's left over. This is especially true for
GRF_SOC_CONx registers, that really only contain pretty random bits.

So personally, I'd really prefer soc-specific compatibles as everywhere
else, instead of trying to push stuff into the devicetree that won't hold
up on future socs.

Not necessarily.

I.e. things like the tsadc, cru etc have their own register space and only
some minor additional bits inside the GRF.

Other things like some phys and your mute-gpio are _fully embedded_ inside
the GRF and thus become child devices. This describes the hardware layout
way better, helps unclutter the devicetree and also shows this distinction
between "additional bits" and "embedded" clearly.

But surely one can scan thru it and have some clue what functions
there are. For example, does this chip have phy registers in GRF?

Yes, and in that case it makes sense. The individual functions
themselves have resources defined in DT like clocks. What I don't want
to see are child nodes defining *only* a compatible and any provider
properties (e.g. #gpio-cells). The only reason to do that is to make
Linux bind a driver, but DT is not a list of drivers to bind.

This is what I don't want to see:

syscon {
  compatible = "foo,soc-sysctrl", "syscon", "simple-mfd";
  reg = <...>;
  clock-controller {
    compatible = "foo,soc-sysctrl-clocks";
    #clock-cells = <1>;
  };
  reset-controller {
    compatible = "foo,soc-sysctrl-resets";
    #reset-cells = <1>;
  };
  gpio {
    compatible = "foo,soc-sysctrl-gpios";
    #gpio-cells = <2>;
    gpio-controller;
  };
};

But rather:

syscon {
  compatible = "foo,soc-sysctrl";
  reg = <...>;
  #clock-cells = <1>;
  #reset-cells = <1>;
  #gpio-cells = <2>;
  gpio-controller;
};

I can tell that from your examples, but I can't tell that with this
binding. For this binding, it looks like you are adding a sub-node for
1 register bit. That wouldn't scale if you have 11 page register list.

Okay, but still my question remains: is it really only 1 GPIO?
Dropping "-mute" would be more future proof if not.

Your good point convinced me. I'd like to discuss the V3 patch here.

Since there's only one GPIO pin (the GPIO_MUTE pin) in GRF_SOC_CON10 
register,
the GPIO controller is named `gpio-mute` and has only one GPIO pin which is
referred to as `<&gpio-mute 0>`:

In rk3328.dtsi:

     grf: syscon@ff100000 {
         //...
         /* The GPIO_MUTE pin is referred to as <&gpio-mute 0>.*/
         gpio_mute: gpio-mute {
             compatible = "rockchip,rk3328-mute-gpio";
             gpio-controller;
             #gpio-cells = <2>;
         };
     };


In gpio-syscon.c:

   static const struct syscon_gpio_data rockchip_rk3328_mute_gpio = {
          /* rk3328 mute gpio is an output only pin at GRF_SOC_CON10[1] */
         .flags          = GPIO_SYSCON_FEAT_OUT,
         .bit_count      = 1,
         .dat_bit_offset = 0x0428 * 8 + 1,
         .set            = rockchip_gpio_set,
   };

   static const struct of_device_id syscon_gpio_ids[] = {
     //...
     {
         .compatible    = "rockchip,rk3328-mute-gpio",
         .data        = &rockchip_rk3328_mute_gpio,
     },
     {}
   };

Compared to V0 patch, the bit_count changes from 2 to 1 and the 
dat_bit_offset
increases 1. Therefore the GPIO_MUTE pin is now referred to as
`<&gpio-mute 0>`. IMHO it is better than `<&gpio-mute 1>` in the V0 patch.
In V0, `1` is the physical offset of the output pin in register and 
<&gpio-mute 0>
is an invalid GPIO.

Thanks
