Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Change PWM-controlled LED pin active mode and algorithm

According to the circuit diagram of User LEDs - RGB described in the
manual hifive-unleashed-a00.pdf[0] and hifive-unmatched-schematics-v3.pdf[1].
The behavior of PWM is acitve-high.

According to the descriptionof PWM for pwmcmp in SiFive FU740-C000 Manual[2].
The pwm algorithm is (PW) pulse active time = (D) duty * (T) period.
The `frac` variable is pulse "inactive" time so we need to invert it.

So this patchset removes active-low in DTS and adds reverse logic to the driver.

Changed in v2:
- Convert the reference link to standard link.
- Fix typo: s/sifive unmatched:/sifive: unmatched:/.
- Remove active-low from hifive-unleashed-a00.dts.
- Include this reference link in the dts and pwm commit messages.

The `frac` variable represents the pulse inactive time, and the result of
this algorithm is the pulse active time. Therefore, we must reverse the
result.

The reference is SiFive FU740-C000 Manual[0].

Shouldn't the inversion be done before the hardware limitation fixup?

The same problem exists in pwm_sifive_get_state(), doesn't it?

As fixing this is an interruptive change anyhow, this is the opportunity
to align the driver to the rules tested by PWM_DEBUG.

The problems I see in the driver (only checked quickly, so I might be
wrong):

- state->period != ddata->approx_period isn't necessarily a problem. If
state->period > ddata->real_period that's fine and the driver should
continue

- frac = DIV64_U64_ROUND_CLOSEST(num, state->period);
is wrong for two reasons:
it should round down and use the real period.

Best regards
Uwe

If you resend, please update them to regular link tags.

I checked out the circuits last time around and agreed that they should
not be active-low.

I need a little time to clarify your assumptions. If possible, I will
make similar changes.

e.g.
rounddown(num, state->period);
if (state->period < ddata->approx_period)

are you mean state->period is a redundancy variable so we can use
ddata->real_period directly?

it seems reasonable, but I don't get your point, why do we need to
change the algorithm to DIV_ROUND_DOWN_ULL() and change the if-else
condition.

frac = DIV_ROUND_DOWN_ULL(num, ddata->real_period);
if (state->period < ddata->approx_period) {
...
}

I have some results from my observations regarding the questions you raised.

I don't know if what we are thinking is the same thing.

If my assumptions are different from yours, please let me know. Thanks.

the idea is that for a given request apply should do the following to
select the hardware setting:

- Check polarity, if the hardware doesn't support it, return -EINVAL.
(A period always starts with the active phase for the duration of
duty_cycle. For normal polarity active = high.)
- Pick the biggest period length possible that is not bigger than the
requested period.
- For the picked period, select the biggest duty_cycle possible that is
not bigger than the requested duty_cycle.

Then if possible switch to the selected setting in an atomic step.

Does this clearify your doubts?

Best regards
Uwe

There are two things to consider:

- usually the hardware doesn't support all requestable states because
the hardware's quantum is > 1 ns. That is, it might for example
support periods in the form (160 ns * i / 3) for i in 1 .. 1023.

If this hardware runs with i = 500 (that is period ~= 26666.66
ns) because the first channel is configured to run with period =
26667, and .request is called for the 2nd channel with .period =
26700 ns, there is no need to refuse that, because 26666.66 is the
best possible approximation for 26700 ns anyhow.

- .apply is supposed to implement the highest possible period that
isn't bigger than the requested period. So in the above case even if
the hardware runs at 26666.66 ns without the possibility to change
that, a request to configure for period = 30000 ns could succeed (and
keep 26666.66 ns).

> Would you suggest I send the new implementation version before
> continuing the discussion?

Note that the above implements the optimal behaviour for a driver.
(For some definition of "optimal" that admittedly also yields strange
behaviour at times. The reasoning for this to the be thing to implement
is, that's the corner cases are easier to implement, idempotency is
possible and it's easier to work with than rounding to the nearest
possible value.)

While I'd like to see the sifive driver to implement this optimal
behaviour, it's not mandatory that you convert the driver to that
behaviour. Just make sure to not make it worse.

So to answer your question: If you understood what I wrote above and are
motivated to improve the driver, it would be great to do that before the
next review round.

Best regards
Uwe
