[v5,0/2] Make i.MX9 OCOTP work as accessing controller

Message

Peng Fan Jan. 8, 2025, 7 a.m. UTC

Previously there was discussion on using "feature-controller" or
adding a specific node to group the fuse information for U-Boot to
parse and update node. But rejected by DT maintainer(Rob).

Since the STM32 engineers added access controller concept and landed
the support in Linux Kernel, reuse the concept for i.MX.

i.MX OCOTP eFuse has some bits to indicate a specific periphral or
function is avaiable for current chip, for example i.MX93 has variants
that not have NPU. So introduce '#access-controller-cells' for OCOTP,
and add "#access-controllers = <&ocotp [gate_index]>" for periphrals
that needs accessing control checking.

In OCOTP driver, the nodes under "/" will be iterated, and checked
if property "#access-controllers" exsits. If not allow access, detach
the node.

In the end, cpu nodes should still be handled by bootloader.
And I may also update i.MX8M to use same method to support variants
if this patchset is good.

Changes in v5:
- Rebased to next-20250107, but seems Srinivas's for-fixes patches not
included, so I picked the for-fixes patches and rebase the patchset.
- make gates pointer and using ARRAY_SIZE
- Use of_parse_phandle_by_args
- Read fuse when needed, not cache them in the very beginning
- Use %pOF for node name
- Check controller node name in imx_ele_ocotp_grant_access
- Use dev_info when detach node
- Use priv as function parameter to replace pdev.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v4:
- Add missing of_node_put(provider)
- Typo fix in commit log
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v3:
- Add A-b for patch 1
- Use scoped API when iterate nodes and address build warning in patch 2
- I am also thinking that to drop patch 2 to let
 bootloader to iterate the nodes that have access-controllers property and
 update the nodes before booting the kernel. Then just need patch 1 for
 the binding updates. Anyway, comments are welcomed.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v2:
- Add R-b for patch 1
- Use '/' root node instead of '/soc' or '/soc@0' for patch 2
