Subject: [PATCH 0/3] soundwire: allocate device_number with IDA

The device_number is currently allocated in the scope of each bus and does
not need to be unique at the system level.
This leads e.g. on Dell devices with three or four Device1 on different
bus segments. To make the device_number unique at the system level, and
unified with the HDaudio/iDISP SDI values, this series allocates the
dev_number with an IDA restricted between 4 and 11 (inclusive).

soundwire: bus: rename sdw_ida as sdw_bus_ida
soundwire: bus: allow device number to be unique at system level
soundwire: intel: set dev_num_ida_min

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] soundwire: bus: allow device number to be unique at system level

From: Pierre-Louis Bossart <[email protected]>

The SoundWire specification allows the device number to be allocated
at will. When a system includes multiple SoundWire links, the device
number scope is limited to the link to which the device is attached.

However, for integration/debug it can be convenient to have a unique
device number across the system. This patch adds a 'dev_num_ida_min'
field at the bus level, which when set will be used to allocate an
IDA.

The allocation happens when a hardware device reports as ATTACHED. If
any error happens during the enumeration, the allocated IDA is not
freed - the device number will be reused if/when the device re-joins
the bus. The IDA is only freed when the Linux device is unregistered.

Does this not place an artificial restriction that a system can have
only 12 devices if we have unique device

Perhaps a better way would be to use dus:dev combination while dealing
with a device always..??

1. this makes things simpler for debug. You can look at the logs and see
what the device is without having to look at the link. It's been much
easier to track complicated issues when each device is tracked with a
unique system level number.

2. Intel hardware has a requirement that the device number be unique for
all links managed by a given controller. This patch prepares that
transition. I cannot disclose more details at the moment, you will have
to trust me on this one.

It does indeed, but it simplifies debug and it allows future hardware to
be supported.

In practice, the most we've seen on Intel platforms is 4 devices at the
system level. Even if the SoundWire spec does allow for 11 devices per
link, it's way over-engineered due to capacitive load and signal
integrity issues. We've seen an absolute maximum of 4 devices on a
single link in test rigs, and that was never deployed. Two devices per
link were also only used in prototypes which never hit the market.

At any rate, this in an opt-in solution, not a requirement for non-Intel
platforms at all. Others can keep using as many devices as they wish,
within the bounds allowed by the standard.

Note that the device_number creates a de-facto priority, and it would be
perfectly acceptable for some platforms to tweak the current first-come
first-serve allocation to improve interrupt response time on each link,
etc. The standard says nothing about how the device numbers should be
allocated, only that they be unique on each link. In other words, you
should expect additional changes to the existing way of allocating
device numbers.

That is not compatible with Intel hardware requirements. This wasn't a
decision where Bard and I were consulted, it is what it is.

Does this clarify things?
Thanks
