Subject: [PATCH 1/1] drivers/misc: Add Altera System ID driver

This patch is to add Altera System ID driver.
User can obtain the system ID and timestamp of the system by
reading the sysfs entry.

Usage:
cat /sys/bus/platform/devices/[addr].sysid/sysid/id
cat /sys/bus/platform/devices/[addr].sysid/sysid/timestamp

All sysfs files need documentation in Documentation/ABI/.

This driver looks like it should instead be using the infrastructure we
have for identifying an SoC in drivers/base/soc.c, which is currently
only used by the ARM u8500 platform but was introduced as a generic
interface for this a while ago.

I agree, this shouldn't be a one-off sysfs file.

Okay, I will add document in this directory.

This IP core is not in the SoC. This core is in the FPGA and can be
accessed by the Nios II processor or accessed by SOCFPGA processor (ARM
based) via its interface to FPGA. Due to this, I think it shouldn't use
infrastructure in drivers/base/soc.c.
What do you think?

Thanks for the comments.

The sysid component gives a version for the entire FPGA part and all
components inside it, right?

I think you should use the drivers/base/soc.c interface to describe the
SOCFPGA SoC components as well as the actual FPGA. You basically
end up having one device node that acts as the parent for the SoC
components, and a way to retrieve version information about it.

Depending on how it fits the actual hardware layout more closely,
you could have one node as the parent for all devices, or the
FPGA SoC node as a child of the main one, or two SoC nodes side by
side from the top-level.

The sysid give the unique system ID and system generation timestamp of
the system.

CASE 1:
SOCFPGA SoC + Sysid component in FPGA

CASE 2
Nios II soft core CPU + Sysid (All in FPGA and no SoC is involved)

>From example use cases above, Case 2 doesn't involve SoC component.
To support both cases, do you think drivers/base/soc.c is still
suitable?

Thanks.

Yes, I think so. I would consider the second case still a SoC, because
you have a single chip that contains the CPU and peripherals. From
the OS point of view, it does not matter that they are in an FPGA.

Thanks for your input. I will go with your suggestion.
