+ *
+ * Limitations:
+ * - If the IP block is configured without "shadow registers", all register
+ * writes will take effect immediately, causing glitches on the output.
+ * If shadow registers *are* enabled, a write to the "SYNC_UPDATE" register
+ * notifies the core that it needs to update the registers defining the
+ * waveform from the contents of the "shadow registers".
+ * - The IP block has no concept of a duty cycle, only rising/falling edges of
+ * the waveform. Unfortunately, if the rising & falling edges registers have
+ * the same value written to them the IP block will do whichever of a rising
+ * or a falling edge is possible. I.E. a 50% waveform at twice the requested
+ * period. Therefore to get a 0% waveform, the output is set the max high/low
+ * time depending on polarity.
+ * If the duty cycle is 0%, and the requested period is less than the
+ * available period resolution, this will manifest as a ~100% waveform (with
+ * some output glitches) rather than 50%.
+ * - The PWM period is set for the whole IP block not per channel. The driver
+ * will only change the period if no other PWM output is enabled.

You only write once to the sync update register (i.e. during probe). So
that register specifies that a period should be completed before a new
setting becomes active, right? Even with sync update this is still racy,

The code doesn't match the comment. I think that is a relict from the
times when we thought that a trigger was necessary to update the

There is no way to query the hardware if there is still an update
pending, right? Maybe that's possible implicitly by memoizing the
expected read value? For me the current approach is fine enough though.
This can be addressed in the future if needed.

Is this racy with sync update implemented in the firmware? A comment
about how the sync update is implemented would be good.

If state->period * clk_rate is 765000000001 you get tmp = 765 and then
*prescale = 2. However roundup(765000000001 / (1000000000 * 255)) - 1 is
3. The problem here is that you're rounding down in the calculation of
tmp. Of course this is constructed because 765000000001 is prime, but
I'm sure you get the point :-)
Also we know that tmp is < 0xff00, so we don't need a 64 bit division
here.

I don't understand that part. It triggers for tmp = 511. So you prefer
prescale = 1
period_steps = 254
yielding period = 510 / clkrate over
prescale = 2
period_steps = 170
yielding 513 / clkrate. I wonder why. Alsot tmp = 511 is the only value
where this triggers. There is a mistake somewhere (maybe on my side).

Correct.

I assume the period ticking over as we are updating the values is your
concern here. I'm not sure that there's all that much we can do about
that, so I guess I shall update the comment.
Perhaps writing out period_steps and prescale should be done after
computing the new duty cycle to reduce the possible window since that
may require an expensive division on a 32-bit arch?

Yes. Although, I did some poking around with it just now & that actually
only happens if prescale is also 0.
If it is non-zero, get to see some other "interesting behaviour" where
the period becomes gigantic - for example @ prescale = 0x3, the period
becomes about a quarter of a second w/ a 50% duty cycle. clk_rate is
62.5 MHz. I'd need to dig out the RTL to justify that one!
I've just gone and made apply() return -EINVAL for this, which the
subsystem does for requests of zero periods.

Yeah, I read this back to myself before sending v15 & thought that it

Hah, no. This IP is about as old as I am & appears to have been written

...so in your prime case above, we would initially compute a prescale
value that is too large, and then wind up hitting the test of the
remainder here, thereby realising that the smaller prescale value is a
better fit?
Perhaps that's not an acceptable way to handle the issue though.

Because 513 > 511 & 254 > 170!
Is the aim not to produce a period that is less than or equal to that
requested? The aim of this driver is to pick a prescale/period_steps
combo that satisfies that constraint, while also trying to maximise the
"finegrainness" of the duty cycle.
The latter should be stated in a comment above.

It should trigger for any value 255 * n < x < 256 * n, no?
Say for tmp of 767:
*prescale = DIV64_U64_ROUND_UP(767, 254 + 1) - 1 = DIV64_U64_ROUND_UP(3.00784...) - 1 = 3
remainder = 0.00784.. * (254 + 1) = 2
Am I going nuts? Wouldn't be the first time that I've made a hames of
things here, there are 16 versions for a reason after all.

OK, so a suitable comment would be along the lines of:

OK, so the correction below is to make up for the wrong rounding here.

IMHO it is, but the comment explaining needs some improvement. It should
also make clear why rounding cannot lead to prescale - 2 being a
good/better candidate. (I haven't thought it through, maybe needs some
improvement?) I wonder if the computation can find all improvements
given that it only used tmp, but not ->period and clk_rate?!

I missed the -= 1 in my example. So it's:
It triggers for tmp = 511. So you prefer
prescale = 1
period_steps = 254
yielding period = 510 / clkrate over
prescale = 2
period_steps = 169
yielding 510 / clkrate.
Here it's obvious that the former is the better one. But I wonder why
the former isn't found instantly. Wouldn't
*prescale = tmp / (MCHPCOREPWM_PERIOD_STEPS_MAX + 1) - 1
give a better approximation in general? (Of course with an additional
check that *prescale >= 0 then.)
... thinking a bit ... yes, I think that's true:
If you pick *prescale = tmp / (MCHPCOREPWM_PERIOD_STEPS_MAX + 1) - 1,
then for each period_steps value ≤ 254 we have:
(*prescale + 1) * (period_steps + 1)
≤ (*prescale + 1) * 255
≤ (tmp // (MCHPCOREPWM_PERIOD_STEPS_MAX + 1)) * 255
≤ (tmp // 255) * 255
≤ (tmp / 255) * 255
= tmp
and you can use the maximal period_steps = 0xfe.
(Only for tmp < 255 that isn't possible, up to you if you refuse these
or pick a smaller value for period_steps.)

ack. I also wonder if such a change breaks the other assumptions a
consumer might have. I'll spend some more cycles about that in the next
round :-)

Ah, I had a bogus break statement in my python test code. So it's me
who got it wrong.

tmp = 256
*prescale = 256 // (254 + 1) - 1

*prescale = 256 // (prescale + 1) - 1

= 255
That's then gonna give us one of the broken configurations from the
limitations.
tmp = 257
*prescale = 257 // (254 + 1) - 1
≈ 0
*prescale = 257 // (prescale + 1) - 1
= 257 / (0 + 1) - 1
= 256
= 0 (registers are 8-bit)
And so on...
I'm quite obviously missing something that you may think is obvious
here, but is not immediately clear to me.

No worries :)
Pending an explanation of your calculation above, I've gone and done the
rest of these things. I shan't resend until -rc1 or I get an explanation
of your calculation - whichever happens first!

I don't understand what you wanna say here. If tmp = 256 my suggestion
is to pick prescale = 0 and period_steps = 254. Then
(prescale + 1) * (period_steps + 1) ≤ tmp
and period_steps is big enough to ensure a a finegrained choice for the
duty_cycle.

I think you mean s/prescale/period_steps/ in the second part, but that's
not what I meant. I meant to suggest:
*prescale = tmp / (MCHPCOREPWM_PERIOD_STEPS_MAX + 1) - 1
period_steps = MCHPCOREPWM_PERIOD_STEPS_MAX = 254

That would be an explanation, yes. :-)

Right, it makes a lot more sense now. Definitely was not clear to me
that that was what you were suggesting.
I'm not sure that disallowing tmp < 255 is something I want to do
though, as this is mainly used as a "soft" IP core in the FPGA fabric,
the clock provided to it may not be particularly high.
Probably not the end of the world though, once added to the limitations.
The implemented period is also going to be quite a ways off with this
method (compared to the method I have been using until now) - although
it is of course far simpler.
You're the PWM expert and are suggesting it, so maybe I should just shut
up and go do it...

I reread what I wrote and maybe I wouldn't have understood it either :-)

"simpler" is in my eyes a good approach until someone comes who has
stronger needs than can be done with a simple approach. Until this
happens a simple approach is good for everyone.
