We have an well-known problem that the device needs to do some power
sequence before it can be recognized by related host, the typical
example like hard-wired mmc devices and usb devices.

This power sequence is hard to be described at device tree and handled by
related host driver, so we have created a common power sequence
library to cover this requirement. The core code has supplied
some common helpers for host driver, and individual power sequence
libraries handle kinds of power sequence for devices. The pwrseq
librares always need to allocate extra instance for compatible
string match.

pwrseq_generic is intended for general purpose of power sequence, which
handles gpios and clocks currently, and can cover other controls in
future. The host driver just needs to call of_pwrseq_on/of_pwrseq_off
if only one power sequence is needed, else call of_pwrseq_on_list
/of_pwrseq_off_list instead (eg, USB hub driver).

For new power sequence library, it can add its compatible string
to pwrseq_of_match_table, then the pwrseq core will match it with
DT's, and choose this library at runtime.

In case the pwrseq instance hasn't been registered yet, then there is
no way to deal with -EPROBE_DEFER properly here.

I haven't been following the discussions in-depth during all
iterations, so perhaps you have already discussed why doing it like
this.

Anyway, that means all pwrseq instances needs to be registered an
early boot level, to be safe. To me, that seems like poor design
choice.

Otherwise I think this looks okay to me.

Yes, it has been discussed. In order to compare with compatible string
at dts, we need to have one registered pwrseq instance for each
pwrseq library, this pre-registered one is allocated using
postcore_initcall, and the new (eg, second) instance is registered
after pwrseq_get has succeeded.

I understand you need one compatible per pwrseq library, but how does
that have anything to do with -EPROBE_DEFER?

My point is that, if a driver calls of_pwrseq_on() (which calls
pwrseq_find_available_instance()), but the corresponding pwrseq
library and instance has not yet been registered for that device. Then
how will you handle -EPROBE_DEFER? I guess you simply can't, which is
why *all* pwrseq libraries needs to be registered in early boot phase,
like at postcore_initcall(). Right?

If that is the case, I really don't like it.

Moreover, I have found yet another severe problem but reviewing the code:
In the struct pwrseq, you have a "bool used", which you are setting to
"true" once the pwrseq has been hooked up with the device, when a
driver calls of_pwrseq_on(). Setting that variable to true, will also
prevent another driver from using the same instance of the pwrseq for
its device. So, to cope with multiple users, you register a new
instance of the same pwrseq library that got hooked up, once the
->get() callback is about to complete.

The problem the occurs, when there is another driver calling
of_pwrseq_on() in between, meaning that the new instance has not yet
been registered. This will simply fail, won't it?

Sorry for jumping in late, however to me it seems like there is still
some pieces missing to make this work.

Yes, you are right. This is the limitation for this power sequence
library, the registration for the 1st power sequence instance must
be finished before device driver uses it. I am appreciated that
you can supply some suggestions for it.

Yes, you are right, thanks for pointing that, I will add mutex_lock for
of_pwrseq_on.

In general this kind of problems is solved by first parsing the DTB,
which means you will find out whether there is a resource (a pwrseq)
required for the device. Then you try to fetch that resource, and if
that fails, it means the resource is not yet available, and hence you
want to retry later and should return -EPROBE_DEFER.

In this case, of_pwrseq_on() needs to be converted to start looking
for a pwrseq compatible in it's child node - I guess. Then if that is
found, you try to fetch the instance of the corresponding library.
Failing to fetch the library instance should then cause a return
-EPROBE_DEFER.

Another option is to entirely skip to two step approach.

In other words, make the library to cope with multiple users via the
same registered library instance.

The most difficulty for this is we can't know whether the requested
pwrseq instance will be registered or not, the kernel configuration
for this pwrseq library may not be chosen at all.

No, the pwrseq instance stores dtb information (clock, gpio, etc), it
needs to be per device.

In such case it is still correct to return -EPROBE_DEFER, because the
driver that tries to probe its device will fail unless it can run the
needed pwrseq. Right?

I think you misunderstood my suggestion here. Of course you need to
allocate one pwrseq data per device.

However, my point is that you shouldn't need more than one instance of
the library functions to be registered in the list of available pwrseq
libraries.

Unlike the MMC design, there is no dts entry to indicate whether this
device needs pwrseq or not at this design, it will only carry out power
on sequence after matching. So, return -EPROBE_DEFER may not work since
this device may never need pwrseq.

This additional instance is used to store compatible information for
this pwrseq library, it is used for the next matching between device
and pwrseq library, it just likes we need the first pwrseq instance
registered at boot stage.

Ulf, since it is the use case limitation, it can't work like device
driver. Do you have more comments for it, thanks.

Then, how will you really be able to fetch the correct pwrseq library
instance for the device node?

Suppose their is a *list* of pwrseq library instances available. In
pwrseq_find_available_instance() you call of_match_node(table, np).
The "table" there corresponds to the compatible for the pwrseq library
and the np is the device node provided by the caller of
of_pwrseq_on().

Why is this match done?

Why can't the match be done before trying to fetch a library instance
and then in a second step, really try to fetch the instance? If only
the second step fails, returning -EPROBE_DEFER can be done, no?

BTW, I didn't compatible for the generic pwrseq library being
documented in this series.

Why can't the compatible information be a static table, known by the
pwrseq core library?

Then when of_pwrseq_on() is called, that static table is parsed and
matched, then a corresponding pwrseq library instance tries to be
fetched.

The compatible in table is from the source code, and the compatible in
np is from the dts. This is the current match way, I comment your
suggestion below.

How? If there is no pwrseq instance, how can we do match?

So, you suggest allocating and registering pwrseq instance on the
demand? Eg, we maintain a power sequence static table, including
compatible and allocate function.

static const struct pwrseq_match_table pwrseq_match_table_list[] = {
	{ PWRSEQ_DEV(0x0204, 0x6025), .alloc_instance = pwrseq_AA_alloc_instance },
	{ PWRSEQ_DEV(0x0204, 0x6026), .alloc_instance = pwrseq_BB_alloc_instance },
	{ PWRSEQ_DEV(0xffff, 0xffff), .alloc_instance = pwrseq_generic_alloc_instance },
};

And pwrseq_AA{BB}_alloc_instance are defined at each pwrseq library, and
are exported.

Since the pwrseq_match_table_list is static, we can always do match, and
will not return -EPROBE_DEFER anymore, one problem for this is we need
always compile all pwrseq libraries. Any good suggestions?

Seems like you need to update the DT documentation for the below
compatible, which is used for the generic pwrseq library. Perhaps this
is what puzzles me a bit on *why* the match is done.

+static const struct of_device_id generic_id_table[] = {
+       { .compatible = "generic",},
+       { /* sentinel */ }
+};

Yes, something like that.

What does the  PWRSEQ_DEV() macro do?

With "exported", I guess you mean shared via a common pwrseq header?

You never returned -EPROBE_DEFER in the first case. That's why I complained. :-)

So, in case the OF match doesn't succeed, there are no reason to
propagate an error, but instead just bail out and returning 0 to the
caller.

If the OF match succeeds, it means the device requires a pwrseq
library to be used. Then, pwrseq_XX_alloc_instance() will be called,
on demand and which tries to fetch the resources (clocks, gpios etc).
If any of those attempts fetching a resource fails, its corresponding
error code should be propagated to the caller - including
-EPROBE_DEFER.

Regarding the "always compile all pwrseq libraries"; no we don't need
to do that. Instead we only need a to have a stub function for
pwrseq_XX_alloc_instance, in case its corresponding Kconfig option is
unset. That stub, should of course return an error code.

Kind regards

Sorry, I should update this "generic" compatible at 1st binding-doc

In fact, this should be compatible string, I exampled it as USB vid,pid
wrongly.

+Power Sequence Library
+====================================
+
+:Date: Feb, 2017
+:Author: Peter Chen <peter.chen@nxp.com>
+
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+We have an well-known problem that the device needs to do a power
+sequence before it can be recognized by related host, the typical
+examples are hard-wired mmc devices and usb devices. The host controller
+can't know what kinds of this device is in its bus if the power
+sequence has not done, since the related devices driver's probe calling
+is determined by runtime according to eunumeration results. Besides,
+the devices may have custom power sequence, so the power sequence library
+which is independent with the devices is needed.
+
+Design
+============
+
+The power sequence library includes the core file and customer power
+sequence library. The core file exports interfaces are called by
+host controller driver for power sequence and customer power sequence
+library files to register its power sequence instance to global
+power sequence list. The custom power sequence library creates power
+sequence instance and implement custom power sequence.
+
+Since the power sequence describes hardware design, the description is
+located at board description file, eg, device tree dts file. And
+a specific power sequence belongs to device, so its description
+is under the device node, please refer to:
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/pwrseq/pwrseq-generic.txt
+
+Custom power sequence library allocates one power sequence instance at
+bootup periods using postcore_initcall, this static allocated instance is
+used to compare with device-tree (DT) node to see if this library can be
+used for the node or not. When the result is matched, the core API will
+try to get resourses (->get, implemented at each library) for power
+sequence, if all resources are got, it will try to allocate another
+instance for next possible request from host driver.
+
+Then, the host controller driver can carry out power sequence on for this
+DT node, the library will do corresponding operations, like open clocks,
+toggle gpio, etc. The power sequence off routine will close and free the
+resources, and is called when the parent is removed. And the power
+sequence suspend and resume routine can be called at host driver's
+suspend and resume routine if needed.
+
