Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: pwm: Add Xilinx AXI Timer

This adds a binding for the Xilinx LogiCORE IP AXI Timer. This device is
a "soft" block, so it has many parameters which would not be
configurable in most hardware. This binding is usually automatically
generated by Xilinx's tools, so the names and values of properties
must be kept as they are.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] pwm: Add support for Xilinx AXI Timer

This adds PWM support for Xilinx LogiCORE IP AXI soft timers commonly
found on Xilinx FPGAs. There is another driver for this device located
at arch/microblaze/kernel/timer.c, but it is only used for timekeeping.
This driver was written with reference to Xilinx DS764 for v1.03.a [1].

I did try to make this PWM driver available also for Microblaze systems. Of
course, since a lot of time has passed since, even the PWM API seems to have
changed, so my original patch is probably no longer applicable.

You can see that old discussion here

https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/803890/
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/935728/

It didn't went much further because no one from the device tree list
gave any feedback to my proposal, so it just kind of died there since I
didn't have the time to push further. Also, I didn't really send a patch as
such to devicetree list, since it looked like we needed some previous
discussion about it.

Here is probably the main difference between your patch and mine which
instead of depending on !MICROBLAZE had a dependency on ARCH_ZYNQ || MICROBLAZE
-apart from mine being too old to apply and useless now , of course-

I didn't add any DEBUG_FS entries, so I really like this. It would have
helped me while developing my own version of this and will probably be
useful for people debugging their hardware.

And here lies culprit of my patch not being accepted, since defining the
driver to be "xlnx,axi-timer-2.0" compatible while still allowing MICROBLAZE
to be set, did make the kernel to misconfigure the interrupt timer used by
the processor.

All in all, I'd be very glad if this got accepted (I haven't tested it), but
I'd be still happier if some compromise could be found within the device
tree so that this driver can be used also for Microblaze systems without
interfering with the main timer used by such systems.

I think this should go into a separate patch once this driver is
accepted. This can then go via the ARM people.

Please add a link to a reference manual here (if available) and add a
paragraph about hardware properties: Does the hardware complete cycles
on reconfiguration or disable? Are there limitiation like "Cannot run
with 100% duty cycle"? Please look into e.g. pwm-sifive how this is done
and stick to the same format for easy grepping.

I'd like to see a prefix for these defines, something like XILINX_PWM_
maybe?

Maybe call this XILINX_PWM_TCSR_DEFAULT?

NSEC_PER_SEC should work just fine here.

Please round up here. The idea is that applying the result from
.get_state() should not modify the configuration. You might want to

Missing error checking.

Please care for overflowing. If state->period >= U64_MAX /
clk_get_rate(pwm->clk) the multiplication in xilinx_pwm_calc_tlr is
susceptible. Please do something like:

... calculate maximal period ...

if (state->period > max_period)
period = max_period
else
period = state->period;

...

The algorithm to implement is: Configure the biggest possible period not
bigger than state->period. With that period configure the biggest
duty_cycle not bigger than state->duty_cycle.

How does the hardware behave here? E.g. can it happen that after writing
TLR0 we can see a cycle with the new period but the old duty_cycle? Does
it complete the currently running period?

If state->enabled == 0 you want to disable first to prevent that the
(maybe) new values for period and duty_cycle are emitted by the
hardware.

How does the hardware behave on disable? Does it always emit a low
level? Does it complete the currently running period?

This is unusual to have in a driver. Something like memtool[1] should
work just fine, then you don't need this debugfs file. Together with pwm
tracing this should be good enough.

Please drop the assignment to .base. See commit

Would it make sense to error out on some values of pwm->width? Values
bigger than 32 don't make sense?

You can use dev_err_probe here, too, for consistency.

This needs to happen before calling pwmchip_add(), doesn't it?

This looks wrong. You should rely on the consumer that they disable the
PWM.

I assume this stops the PWM, so this must happen after calling
pwmchip_remove.

Note, pwmchip_remove always returns 0 and I plan to change it to return
void instead. So please don't check the return value here.

I wrote a patch to support this back in 2018, being the main difference that
I did try to make this PWM driver available also for Microblaze systems. Of
course, since a lot of time has passed since, even the PWM API seems to have
changed, so my original patch is probably no longer applicable.

You can see that old discussion here

https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/803890/
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/935728/

It didn't went much further because no one from the device tree list
gave any feedback to my proposal, so it just kind of died there since I
didn't have the time to push further. Also, I didn't really send a patch as
such to devicetree list, since it looked like we needed some previous
discussion about it.

Here is probably the main difference between your patch and mine which
instead of depending on !MICROBLAZE had a dependency on ARCH_ZYNQ || MICROBLAZE
-apart from mine being too old to apply and useless now , of course-

I didn't add any DEBUG_FS entries, so I really like this. It would have
helped me while developing my own version of this and will probably be
useful for people debugging their hardware.

And here lies culprit of my patch not being accepted, since defining the
driver to be "xlnx,axi-timer-2.0" compatible while still allowing MICROBLAZE
to be set, did make the kernel to misconfigure the interrupt timer used by
the processor.

All in all, I'd be very glad if this got accepted (I haven't tested it), but
I'd be still happier if some compromise could be found within the device
tree so that this driver can be used also for Microblaze systems without
interfering with the main timer used by such systems.

As noted in the commit message, there is already a driver for this
device for microblaze systems. To prevent conflicts, this driver is
disabled on microblaze.

I don't think that's necessary, since these defines are used only for
this file. In particular, adding a prefix like that would significantly
lengthen lines which add several flags.

TLR is the value loaded into TCR when the counter resets. I believe this
happens at the rising edge for TCR0 and at the falling edge for TCR1,
but the exact behavior is not documented. Therefore, changing the value
of TLR will not affect the current cycle.

I don't know. My suspicion is that the output stops at whatever its
current value is.

Ok, I will move the initialization of the directory before registering
this driver in module init.

I didn't have memtool on my test system, so I added this. I can remove
it from the next patch if you'd like.

Ok. Though in this case we will never get -EPROBE_DEFER from
clk_prepare_enable, so dev_err_probe is not as useful.

What about a PWM regulator with always-on?

This is mostly to match the exclusive_get in probe, in case there are
misbehaving consumers.

What is the correct way to specify the 'reg' property? I see many
schemas doing what I did here which is 'reg: maxItems: 1'. Should I
instead use 'reg: true'?

The dependency is clear here because microblaze has already driver for
this timer here arch/microblaze/kernel/timer.c.

And that's exactly pointing to the way how this should be done.
IP itself is single or dual timer and in case of dual timer you can
select if there is pwm output and use it for PWM generation.

It means it is timer with PMW together.
I didn't have a time but Uwe likely knows this better how to design it.

I see that gpio-mvebu driver instantiate pwm driver. Maybe that's the
way to go.

Step first is move axi timer driver from microblaze to generic location.
Figured it out how to add PWM (with DT flag) and then write support for it.

Thanks,
Michal

Since we always get the rate exclusively, we must always put the rate
exclusively here. So if the PWM is probed, but no one ever does anything
with it (and therefore no one turns it off), we must release the
exclusive rate in remove.

I think drivers/clocksource/samsung_pwm_timer.c and
drivers/pwm/pwm-samsung.c provide another example for how to go about
this.

Yes. However, I don't have a microblaze setup, so I have just added the
PWM driver.

I would really like to see a standard way of doing this. Many timers
also have PWM support (e.g. samsung, and also DW). I think it's unusual
that this problem has not already been addressed.

These should be defined in drivers/sh/clk/core.c, because
CONFIG_HAVE_CLK is selected (see the definition in include/linux/clk.h)
but they are not.

OK, already understood that after reading the other replies to this
thread. As noted there, please add a comment describing the problem. You
probably also need some more dependencies, at least COMMON_CLK for
clk_rate_exclusive_get() and probably also HAS_IOMEM for readl/writel.

This is something where Thierry and I don't agree, so you can at least
expect support for your point. Still I see a value that is usually worth
the additional horizontal space.

The prefix would make it obvious that this is a local symbol. It also
helps to jump to the right definition if you use ctags or something
similar.

The most affected code lines are probably:

+ return !(~tcsr0 & TCSR_SET || tcsr0 & (TCSR_CLEAR | TCSR_CASC) ||
+ ~tcsr1 & TCSR_SET || tcsr1 & TCSR_CLEAR);

which IMHO is already hard to read and adding a newline after each ||
doesn't hurt.

Or write it as:

#define XILINX_PWM_TCSR_RUN_SET \
(XILINX_PWM_TCSR_GENT | \
XILINX_PWM_TCSR_ARHT | \
XILINX_PWM_TCSR_ENT | \
XILINX_PWM_TCSR_PWMA)

#define XILINX_PWM_TCSR_RUN_CLEAR \
(XILINX_PWM_TCSR_MDT | \
XILINX_PWM_TCSR_LOAD)

#define XILINX_PWM_TCSR_RUN_MASK \
(XILINX_PWM_TCSR_RUN_SET | XILINX_PWM_TCSR_RUN_CLEAR)


...

/*
* Both TCSR registers must be setup according to the running
* value, TCSR0 must also have the CASC bit set.
*/
if ((tcsr0 & XILINX_PWM_TCSR_RUN_MASK) != XILINX_PWM_TCSR_RUN_SET ||
!(tcsr0 & TCSR_CASC) ||
(tcsr1 & XILINX_PWM_TCSR_RUN_MASK) != XILINX_PWM_TCSR_RUN_SET)

which IMHO is better understandable and still fits the line length.
(Or simplify the check to only test for a single bit?)

+ tcsr0 = (TCSR_SET & ~TCSR_ENT) | (tcsr0 & TCSR_UDT);
+ tcsr1 = TCSR_SET | TCSR_ENALL | (tcsr1 & TCSR_UDT);

is similar. I wonder if it makes sense to drop ENT from the default bit
mask and if after that xilinx_pwm_is_enabled() yields true. I also don't
understand the semantic of the UDT bit. You never modify it. Assuming it
has a relevant meaning the driver's behaviour depends on the value the
bootloader initialized that bit to?

So these lines might need some explanation anyhow and having to write it
over several lines doesn't actually hurt.

bool enabled = xilinx_pwm_is_enabled(readl(pwm->regs + TCSR0),
readl(pwm->regs + TCSR1));

could be rewritten as

u32 tcsr0 = readl(pwm->regs + XILINX_PWM_TCSR0);
u32 tcsr1 = readl(pwm->regs + XILINX_PWM_TCSR1);
bool enabled = xilinx_pwm_is_enabled(tcsr0, tcsr1);

which IMHO reads better and the required horizontal space is even less
than with your lines even tough I have added a prefix.

Oh indeed. IMHO it should be changed to return void and the comment

So we might still get a mixed period if the counter resets between the

Would be great if you could find out that. Please document that in the

Yes, please remove it. (And install memtool or one of its alternatives

Everything it does here is useful, and the overhead is only the check
against -EPROBE_DEFER. In return you get consistent error handling and
the messages are also all in the same format. (And compared to your
version the error message also gives a hint about the actual problem as
it emits the error code.)

Note that I misunderstood what clk_rate_exclusive_put does. This only
drops the lock on the clock that prevents that others modify the clock
rate. So that call is fine.

So in general: What do you think should happen? When the remove function
is called the PWM regulator driver is already gone, so there is no way
to get the information that the PWM should stay on ...

> >> + clk_disable_unprepare(pwm->clk);

... and still you stop the PWM here (or does that only affect access to
its registers?)

So it's a delicate topic and there isn't the single right thing to do
here. So usually I request to free all resources allocated in .probe()
and otherwise leave the hardware alone. Now that I understood
clk_rate_exclusive_put() the status quo is fine for me. Just call
pwmchip_remove first and only then release the resources needed to
operate the PWM.

Uwe

I will add a dependency on HAS_IOMEM. COMMON_CLK should not be
necessary, because clk_exclusive_(get|put) should be defined by the
platform if they define CONFIG_HAVE_CLK (otherwise we get a stub as
define in the linux clock header). But of course, this is not the case
on SH4... I wish this sort of thing were documented somewhere. I can add
this if necessary.

This is done intentionally to highlight that we are doing the same

The idea here is to capture whether the PWM is actually running (e.g.
because we or the bootloader set it up) and we need to be careful to
ensure we don't cause a glitch. According to the device data sheet, to
enable the PWM we need to

* Set both timers to generate mode (MDT=1)
* Set both timers to PWM mode (PWMA=1)
* Enable the generate out signals (GENT=1)

In addition,

* The timer must be running (ENT=1)
* The timer must auto-reload TLR into TCR (ARHT=1)
* We must not be in the process of loading TLR into TCR (LOAD=0)
* Cascade mode must be disabled (CASC=0)

If any of these differ from usual, then the PWM is either disabled, or
is running in a mode that this driver does not support.

UDT is whether the timer counts upward or downward. We keep whatever
the bootloader (or the power-on reset) set so we don't cause an
incorrect pulse between when we write TLR and when we write TCSR.

Well, as it turns out, just clearing ENT doesn't disable the PWM output
(!). However, clearing everything in TCSR_SET does disable the PWM. The
output is low when it is disabled.

I'll be sad to see it go. It is very convenient for debugging.

Shouldn't the error return be printed by whoever called this probe?

Well, we can still tell whether the PWM is on or off. If it should turn
off, then someone should have disabled it.

This will turn off the PWM if we are the last user of this clock and no
one else has set e.g. CLK_IS_CRITICAL (which is what I would expect if
this powered a critical regulator).

I recently had a similar problem (with code that isn't (yet) in
mainline), where a timer can be used as a counter. I chose to change the
compatible. Transferred to this example this would mean to use e.g.

static const struct of_device_id xilinx_pwm_of_match[] = {
{ .compatible = "xlnx,xps-timer-pwm-1.00.a" },
...
};

and if you want to use the hardware as a PWM, you overwrite the
compatible in your machine.dts.

Not sure however that this is nice enough to be accepted by the dt
people?!

Best regards
Uwe

I don't think that comment will really solve this. We should never
duplicate driver for the same IP to two locations.

Maybe this should be MFD driver.

It is HW selection inside that IP. It means you will get dt properly
when PWM output is selected. I understand that this shortcut can work
but I don't think it is proper design.
