Subject: [PATCH] usb: chipidea: Grab the (legacy) USB PHY by phandle first

According to the chipidea driver bindings, the USB PHY is specified via
the "phys" phandle node. However, this only takes effect for USB PHYs
that use the common PHY framework. For legacy USB PHYs, a simple lookup
based on the USB PHY type is done instead.

This does not play out well when more than USB PHY is registered, since
the first registered PHY matching the type will always be returned
regardless of what the driver was bound to.

Fix this by looking up the PHY based on the "phys" phandle node.
Although generic PHYS and rather matched by their "phys-name" and not
the "phys" phandle directly, there is no helper for similar lookup on
legacy PHYs and it's probably not worth the effort to add it.

When no legacy USB PHY is found by phandle, fallback to grabbing any
registered USB2 PHY. This ensures backward compatibility if some users
were actually relying on this mechanism.

I'm confused by "Although generic PHYS and rather matched". Perhaps
s/and/are/ ?

Also PHYS -> PHYs

I'm not sure why you change the order of legacy PHY lookup vs. generic
PHY lookup.

Why is this conditional on the generic PHY lookup failing?

Don't we simply want:

ci->phy = devm_phy_get(dev->parent, "usb-phy");
ci->usb_phy = devm_usb_get_phy_by_phandle(dev->parent, "phys", 0);
if (IS_ERR(ci->usb_phy))
ci->usb_phy = devm_usb_get_phy(dev->parent, USB_PHY_TYPE_USB2);

?

Does this needs a "Fixes:" tag ? It's not fixing a regression because
nobody complained until now, but it's really fixing a behavior that
wasn't correct.

Best regards,

Thomas

You're right, there is no particular reason to do that.

Well, the code dealing with the PHY later on will use ci->phy over ci-
>usb_phy (so generic PHY API first). As a result, if the
devm_usb_get_phy_by_phandle lookup fails but we got a generic PHY, the
latter will be used and there is no need for a fallback. That's why I
put both conditions there. Maybe that's too much of an assumption?

Yes I it this makes sense to consider that this was incorrect behavior
starting from the moment the dt bindings were formalized for the
driver, which would be commit d7d30c911dd957e274c3da6910d4286862ab1d78.

Do you think that would nake sense?

Okay that makes sense, your suggestion is indeed more consistent with
the existing behavior. I'll go with that in the next revision!

Well prior to your code, there was already a possibility for both
ci->phy and ci->usb_phy to be valid. I don't think it's really useful
to avoid the fallback when a generic PHY has already been found, it's
confusing. If really you want to clarify that, it should be:

/* Let's first try to find a generic PHY */
ci->phy = devm_phy_get(dev->parent, "usb-phy");
if (IS_ERR(ci->phy)) {
/* Fall back to legacy USB PHY */
ci->usb_phy = devm_usb_get_phy_by_phandle(dev->parent, "phys", 0);
if (IS_ERR(ci->usb_phy))
ci->usb_phy = devm_usb_get_phy(dev->parent, USB_PHY_TYPE_USB2);
}

With that, you would only have either ci->phy or ci->usb_phy be valid,
and never both. With your change, you can have ci->phy and ci->usb_phy
both be valid if the legacy USB PHY was found using
devm_usb_get_phy_by_phandle(), but not if we fell back to
devm_usb_get_phy().

Up to the maintainer I'd say. I don't have any preference here.

Below code
if (IS_ERR(ci->phy) && IS_ERR(ci->usb_phy)) {
ret = -EPROBE_DEFER;
goto ulpi_exit;
}

needs to change as:

if (PTR_ERR(ci->phy) ==-EPROBE_DEFER || PTR_ERR(ci->usb_phy) == -EPROBE_DEFER) {
ret = -EPROBE_DEFER;
goto ulpi_exit;
}

Well I think this was more of a general outline than proper code to be
included in the driver anyway :)

I'm rather considering implementing what Thomas suggested at first,
which is going for the fallback even if a generic PHY was found, as to
stick more closely to the existing behavior.

Since one USB2 controller is impossible has two USB PHYs, if both PHYs (generic PHY
and USB PHY) are found, there must be error at code or dts. Besides, -EPROBE_DEFER
is not an real error, it means the PHY(USB-PHY) is existed, just not be ready.
