drivers/pinctrl: Add the concept of an "init" state

2015-10-27T10:24:23Z

For pinctrl the "default" state is applied to pins before the driver's probe function is called. This is normally a sensible thing to do, but in some cases can cause problems. That's because the pins will change state before the driver is given a chance to program how those pins should behave. As an example you might have a regulator that is controlled by a PWM (output high = high voltage, output low = low voltage). The firmware might leave this pin as driven high. If we allow the driver core to reconfigure this pin as a PWM pin before the PWM's probe function runs then you might end up running at too low of a voltage while we probe. Let's introudce a new "init" state. If this is defined we'll set pinctrl to this state before probe and then "default" after probe (unless the driver explicitly changed states already). An alternative idea that was thought of was to use the pre-existing "sleep" or "idle" states and add a boolean property that we should start in that mode. This was not done because the "init" state is needed for correctness and those other states are only present (and only transitioned in to and out of) when (optional) power management is enabled.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki: "From the number of commits perspective, the biggest items are ACPICA and cpufreq changes with the latter taking the lead (over 50 commits). On the cpufreq front, there are many cleanups and minor fixes in the core and governors, driver updates etc. We also have a new cpufreq driver for Mediatek MT8173 chips. ACPICA mostly updates its debug infrastructure and adds a number of fixes and cleanups for a good measure. The Operating Performance Points (OPP) framework is updated with new DT bindings and support for them among other things. We have a few updates of the generic power domains framework and a reorganization of the ACPI device enumeration code and bus type operations. And a lot of fixes and cleanups all over. Included is one branch from the MFD tree as it contains some PM-related driver core and ACPI PM changes a few other commits are based on.

driver core: correct device's shutdown order

2015-08-06T00:07:19Z

Now device's shutdown sequence is performed in reverse order of their registration in devices_kset list and this sequence corresponds to the reverse device's creation order. So, devices_kset data tracks "parent<-child" device's dependencies only. Unfortunately, that's not enough and causes problems in case of implementing board's specific shutdown procedures. For example [1]: "DRA7XX_evm uses PCF8575 and one of the PCF output lines feeds to MMC/SD and this line should be driven high in order for the MMC/SD to be detected. This line is modelled as regulator and the hsmmc driver takes care of enabling and disabling it. In the case of 'reboot', during shutdown path as part of it's cleanup process the hsmmc driver disables this regulator. This makes MMC boot not functional." To handle this issue the .shutdown() callback could be implemented for PCF8575 device where corresponding GPIO pins will be configured to states, required for correct warm/cold reset. This can be achieved only when all .shutdown() callbacks have been called already for all PCF8575's consumers. But devices_kset is not filled correctly now: devices_kset: Device61 4e000000.dmm devices_kset: Device62 48070000.i2c devices_kset: Device63 48072000.i2c devices_kset: Device64 48060000.i2c devices_kset: Device65 4809c000.mmc ... devices_kset: Device102 fixedregulator-sd ... devices_kset: Device181 0-0020 // PCF8575 devices_kset: Device182 gpiochip496 devices_kset: Device183 0-0021 // PCF8575 devices_kset: Device184 gpiochip480 As can be seen from above .shutdown() callback for PCF8575 will be called before its consumers, which, in turn means, that any changes of PCF8575 GPIO's pins will be or unsafe or overwritten later by GPIO's consumers. The problem can be solved if devices_kset list will be filled not only according device creation order, but also according device's probing order to track "supplier<-consumer" dependencies also. Hence, as a fix, lets add devices_kset_move_last(), devices_kset_move_before(), devices_kset_move_after() and call them from device_move() and also add call of devices_kset_move_last() in really_probe(). After this change all entries in devices_kset will be sorted according to device's creation ("parent<-child") and probing ("supplier<-consumer") order. devices_kset after: devices_kset: Device121 48070000.i2c devices_kset: Device122 i2c-0 ... devices_kset: Device147 regulator.24 devices_kset: Device148 0-0020 devices_kset: Device149 gpiochip496 devices_kset: Device150 0-0021 devices_kset: Device151 gpiochip480 devices_kset: Device152 0-0019 ... devices_kset: Device372 fixedregulator-sd devices_kset: Device373 regulator.29 devices_kset: Device374 4809c000.mmc devices_kset: Device375 mmc0 [1] http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mmc/msg29825.html Cc: Sekhar Nori Signed-off-by: Grygorii Strashko Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Driver core: wakeup the parent device before trying probe

2015-07-28T07:50:42Z

If the parent is still suspended when driver probe is attempted, the result may be failure. For example, if the parent is a PCI MFD device that has been suspended when we try to probe our device, any register reads will return 0xffffffff. To fix the problem, making sure the parent is always awake before attempting driver probe. Signed-off-by: Heikki Krogerus Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Commit f2411da74698 ("driver-core: add driver module asynchronous probe support") broke build in case modules are disabled, because in this case "struct module" is not defined and we can't dereference it. Let's define module_requested_async_probing() helper and stub it out if modules are disabled.

driver-core: enable drivers to opt-out of async probe

2015-05-20T07:25:25Z

There are drivers that can not be probed asynchronously. One such group is platform drivers registered with platform_driver_probe(), which expects driver's probe routine be discarded after the driver has been registered and initial binding attempt executed. Also platform_driver_probe() an error when no devices were bound to the driver, allowing failing to load such driver module altogether. Other drivers do not work well with asynchronous probing because of driver bug or not optimal driver organization. To allow using such drivers even when user requests asynchronous probing as default boot strategy, let's allow them to opt out. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

driver-core: add driver module asynchronous probe support

2015-05-20T07:25:24Z

Some init systems may wish to express the desire to have device drivers run their probe() code asynchronously. This implements support for this and allows userspace to request async probe as a preference through a generic shared device driver module parameter, async_probe. Implementation for async probe is supported through a module parameter given that since synchronous probe has been prevalent for years some userspace might exist which relies on the fact that the device driver will probe synchronously and the assumption that devices it provides will be immediately available after this.

driver-core: add asynchronous probing support for drivers

2015-05-20T07:25:24Z

Some devices take a long time when initializing, and not all drivers are suited to initialize their devices when they are open. For example, input drivers need to interrogate their devices in order to publish device's capabilities before userspace will open them. When such drivers are compiled into kernel they may stall entire kernel initialization. This change allows drivers request for their probe functions to be called asynchronously during driver and device registration (manual binding is still synchronous). Because async_schedule is used to perform asynchronous calls module loading will still wait for the probing to complete. Note that the end goal is to make the probing asynchronous by default, so annotating drivers with PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS is a temporary measure that allows us to speed up boot process while we validating and fixing the rest of the drivers and preparing userspace.
