Subject: [PATCH v8 0/6] Support running driver's probe for a device powered off


Hi all,

These patches enable calling (and finishing) a driver's probe function
without powering on the respective device on busses where the practice is
to power on the device for probe. While it generally is a driver's job to
check the that the device is there, there are cases where it might be
undesirable. (In this case it stems from a combination of hardware design
and user expectations; see below.) The downside with this change is that
if there is something wrong with the device, it will only be found at the
time the device is used. In this case (the camera sensors + EEPROM in a
sensor) I don't see any tangible harm from that though.

An indication both from the driver and the firmware is required to allow
the device's power state to remain off during probe (see the first patch).


The use case is such that there is a privacy LED next to an integrated
user-facing laptop camera, and this LED is there to signal the user that
the camera is recording a video or capturing images. That LED also happens
to be wired to one of the power supplies of the camera, so whenever you
power on the camera, the LED will be lit, whether images are captured from
the camera --- or not. There's no way to implement this differently
without additional software control (allowing of which is itself a
hardware design decision) on most CSI-2-connected camera sensors as they
simply have no pin to signal the camera streaming state.

This is also what happens during driver probe: the camera will be powered
on by the I²C subsystem calling dev_pm_domain_attach() and the device is
already powered on when the driver's own probe function is called. To the
user this visible during the boot process as a blink of the privacy LED,
suggesting that the camera is recording without the user having used an
application to do that. From the end user's point of view the behaviour is
not expected and for someone unfamiliar with internal workings of a
computer surely seems quite suspicious --- even if images are not being
actually captured.

I've tested these on linux-next master. They also apply to Wolfram's
i2c/for-next branch, there's a patch that affects the I²C core changes
here (see below). The patches apart from that apply to Bartosz's
at24/for-next as well as Mauro's linux-media master branch.

since v7 <URL:https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/[email protected]/>:

- Reorder documentation patch right after the implemenation in the I²C
framework.

- Rename allow-low-power-probe property as i2c-allow-low-power-probe.

- Remove extra "property" from the description of the
i2c-allow-low-power-probe property and mention it's a device property.

- Add an example to the documentation and refer to the _DSD property spec.

since v6 <URL:https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/[email protected]/>:

- Use u32 for the flags field in struct i2c_driver.

- Use acpi_dev_get_property to read the allow-low-power-probe property.

since v5 <URL:https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/[email protected]/>:

- Identify sensors when they're first powered on. In previous versions, if
this wasn't in probe, it was not done at all.

- Return allow_low_power_probe() only for ACPI devices, i.e. OF systems
are not affected by these changes.

- Document that I2C_DRV_FL_ALLOW_LOW_POWER_PROBE flag only applies to ACPI
drivers.

- Fix extra regulator_disable in at24 driver's remove function when the
device was already in low power state.

since v4 <URL:https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/[email protected]/>:

- Rename "probe-low-power" property as "allow-low-power-probe". This is
taken into account in function and file naming, too.

- Turn probe_low_power field in struct i2c_driver into flags field.

- Rebase on Wolfram's i2c/for-next branch that contains the removal of the
support for disabling I²C core IRQ mappings (commit
0c2a34937f7e4c4776bb261114c475392da2355c).

- Change wording for "allow-low-power-probe" property in ACPI
documentation.

since v3 <URL:https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/[email protected]/T/#t>:

- Rework the 2nd patch based on Rafael's comments

- Rework description of the ACPI low power state helper function,
according to Rafael's text.

- Rename and rework the same function as
acpi_dev_state_low_power().

- Reflect the changes in commit message as well.

- Added a patch to document the probe-low-power _DSD property.

since v2 <URL:https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11114255/>:

- Remove extra CONFIG_PM ifdefs; these are not needed.

- Move the checks for power state hints from drivers/base/dd.c to
drivers/i2c/i2c-base-core.c; these are I²C devices anyway.

- Move the probe_low_power field from struct device_driver to struct
i2c_driver.

since v1:

- Rename probe_powered_off struct device field as probe_low_power and
reflect the similar naming to the patches overall.

- Work with CONFIG_PM disabled, too.

Subject: [PATCH v8 3/6] ACPI: Add a convenience function to tell a device is in low power state

Add a convenience function to tell whether a device is in low power state,
primarily for use in drivers' probe or remove functions on busses where
the custom is to power on the device for the duration of both.

Returns false on non-ACPI systems.

Subject: [PATCH v8 4/6] ov5670: Support probe whilst the device is in a low power state

Tell ACPI device PM code that the driver supports the device being in a
low power state when the driver's probe function is entered.

Also do identification on the first access of the device, whether in probe
or when starting streaming.

acpi_dev_state_low_power() is really ACPI specific: it does tell the ACPI
power state of the device during probe or remove. It is not needed on DT
since the power state of the device is controlled directly by the driver.
On I?C ACPI devices, it's the framework that powers them on for probe.

You could have a helper function on DT to tell a driver what to do in
probe, but the functionality in that case is unrelated.

I'll answer to the second point later on.

Apologies for having joined this discussion this late.

This patchset seems a good base to cover a different use case, where I
also cannot access the physical device at probe time.

I'm going to try these patches, but in my case there are a few
differences that need a better understanding.

First, I'm using device tree, not ACPI. In addition to adding OF support
similar to the work you've done for ACPI, I think instead of
acpi_dev_state_low_power() we should have a function that works for both
ACPI and DT.

Second, even though all the chips I'm interested in are connected via
I2C, some of them (IIO sensors) can alternatively be connected via SPI
and it would make perfectly sense to use SPI instead of I2C. The "i2c-"
prefix added in v8 on the ACPI property looks like a limitation in that
respect. The same reasoning applies to the implementation in the I2C
core, but implementation could be generalized later.

I'd love to know your opinion on the above points.

I see, thanks for clarifying. I'm not used to ACPI so I didn't get that.

So in case of DT we might think of a function that just tells whether
the device is marked to allow low-power probe, but it's just an info
from DT:

int mydriver_probe(struct i2c_client *client)
{
...
low_power = of_dev_state_low_power(&client->dev);
if (!low_power) {
mydriver_initialize(); /* power+clocks, write regs */
}
...
}

...and, if (low_power), call mydriver_initialize() at first usage.

I'm wondering whether this might make sense in mainline.

Indeed my needs have nothing to do with power management. What I need is
lazy device probing as the I2C bus may need time before it can be used.
From the driver code point of view it looks similar (there's an if()
around initializations in probe() and init is done later if needed), but
the usage is different.

Another approach would be to add a new I2C driver operation [say
init_hw()], then move code for lazy init out of probe() into init_hw().
probe() would still allocate resources. init_hw() would be called by the
framework (or the controller driver?) when it knows eveything is ready.
Just wild thoughts while I'm trying to focus the problem...

What makes the controller driver not ready to operate the controller when
the client devices are probed?

I'm working with a camera module connected via a serializer/deserializer
chip pair, and the link can go away and get back at any moment for
various reasons: mechanical, electromagnetic, cable not connected etc.
This scenario is not well handled with current kernel structures, so I'm
handling it partially with some local hacks but I'm always curious about
any possible kernel improvement that can improve the situation.

See these links for some info about my troubles:
https://lucaceresoli.net/plumbers-i2c-bof/
https://elinux.org/images/f/fc/Ceresoli-elce2019-video-serdes-linux.pdf
https://youtu.be/7hLv6fYAW-E?list=PLbzoR-pLrL6pamOj4UifcMJf560Ph6mJp

Your patchset looks very similar to something I need: not communicating
with the device during probe. Another piece would be to trigger a device
configuration "in some way" when the link is known to be back.

I think we might be overly complicating things. IMHO the series as is
with the "i2c_" prefix removed from the flags introduced would be
reusable as is for any other subsystem that needs it. Of course, for
now, the handling of the flag would remain implemented only in the I2C
subsystem.

Besides the suggestion to make the defintions added less specific to i2c

Just to be clear: you are suggesting to remove "i2c" from the DSD
binding "i2c-allow-low-power-probe". And you are not talking about
moving I2C_DRV_FL_ALLOW_LOW_POWER_PROBE to struct device_driver? I
recall the latter has been NACKed by gkh so far.

I'd also drop "I2C_" from "I2C_DRV_FL_ALLOW_LOW_POWER_PROBE", but all
the implementation would remain where it is in the code. IOW, I'm just
suggesting a naming change to avoid proliferating duplicate flags of
the same meaning across subsystems.

But that would indicate that the property was recognized by other
subsystems which wouldn't be the case, so it would be confusing.

That's why it cannot be documented as a general property ATM too.

I guess that's true. Well, this is kAPI in the end, so if we have more
subsystems, it could be always renamed. So feel free to ignore my
previous comment.

I wouldn't expect this flag to be needed outside I?C since the other
potential use case (I3C) appears to be entirely free of power management,
so it's up to the drivers on ACPI, too.

The property itself, though, might be.

+======================================
+Probing I²C devices in low power state
+======================================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+In some cases it may be preferred to leave certain devices powered off for the
+entire system bootup if powering on these devices has adverse side effects,
+beyond just powering on the said device.
+
+How it works
+============
+
+The _PRE object that evaluates to integer 0 may be used to tell Linux that the
+device should remain in the low power state during probe. If the driver
+indicates its support for this by setting the I2C_DRV_FL_ALLOW_LOW_POWER_PROBE
+flag in struct i2c_driver.flags field and the _PRE object evaluates to integer
+0, the device will not be powered on for probe.
+
+The downside is that as the device is not powered on, even if there's a problem
+with the device, the driver likely probes just fine but the first user will
+find out the device doesn't work, instead of a failure at probe time. This
+feature should thus be used sparingly.
+
+Example
+=======
+
+An ASL example describing an ACPI device using this property looks like
+this. Some objects not relevant from the example point of view have been
+omitted.
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+ Device (CAM0)
+ {
+ Name (_HID, "SONY319A")
+ Name (_UID, Zero)
+ Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate ()
+ {
+ I2cSerialBus(0x0020, ControllerInitiated, 0x00061A80,
+ AddressingMode7Bit, "\\_SB.PCI0.I2C0",
+ 0x00, ResourceConsumer)
+ })

In certain use cases (where the chip is part of a camera module, and the
camera module is wired together with a camera privacy LED), powering on
the device during probe is undesirable. Add support for the at24 to
execute probe while being powered off. For this to happen, a hint in form

Subject: [PATCH v9 2/7] i2c: Allow an ACPI driver to manage the device's power state during probe

Enable drivers to tell ACPI that there's no need to power on a device for
probe. Drivers should still perform this by themselves if there's a need
to. In some cases powering on the device during probe is undesirable, and
this change enables a driver to choose what fits best for it.

Add a field called "flags" into struct i2c_driver for driver flags, and a
flag I2C_DRV_FL_ALLOW_LOW_POWER_PROBE to tell a driver supports probe in
low power state.

Sounds good. How about calling the function e.g.
acpi_device_resume_for_probe(), so runtime PM could be used to resume the
device if the function returns true?

I'd rather try to power it up before enabling runtime PM, because in
order to do the latter properly, you need to know if the device is
active or suspended to start with.

So you need something like (pseudo-code)

if (this_device_needs_to_be_on(ACPI_COMPANION(dev))) {
acpi_device_set_power(ACPI_COMPANION(dev), ACPI_STATE_D0);
pm_runtime_set_active(dev);
} else {
pm_runtime_set_suspended(dev);
}

and then you can enable PM-runtime.

I guess the else branch isn't needed? The device remains suspended if its
state hasn't been changed.

Yes, agreed, this is what drivers should do. The I?C framework would use
the function and conditionally power the device on before enabling runtime
PM.

This is how it's implemented by the set already but I think the change in
semantics requires a little more still.

So we're describing a situation where "device may be powered off" by
calling it "low_power". This doesn't make sense. Why not something
like: acpi_dev_may_be_off(), acpi_dev_powerdown_possible(),
acpi_dev_possibly_off(). If I'm reading a driver's code an see
"acpi_dev_state_low_power()", I would have never guessed it refers to
a situation where the device may be potentially powered-down.

Yes, this is much better than low_power.

Assuming that the initial status is always "suspended", the else

Agreed.
