Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] hwmon: Add support for SPD5118 compliant chips

Add support for SPD5118 (Jedec JESD300) compliant chips supporting
a temperature sensor and SPD NVRAM. Such devices are typically found on
DDR5 memory modules.

The first patch of the series adds SPD5118 devicetree bindings. The second
patch adds support for SPD5118 temperature sensors. The third patch adds
support for suspend/resume. The last patch adds support for reading the SPD
NVRAM.

Note: The driver introduced with this patch series does not currently
support accessing SPD5118 compliant chips in I3C mode.

v3: Drop explicit bindings document; add binding to trivial devices instead
Add support for reading SPD NVRAM

v2: Drop PEC support; it only applies to I3C mode.
Update documentation
Add suspend/resume support

Subject: [PATCH RFT v3 4/4] hwmon: (spd5118) Add support for reading SPD data

Add support for reading SPD NVRAM data from SPD5118 (Jedec JESD300)
compliant memory modules. NVRAM write operation is not supported.

Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <[email protected]>

v3: New patch

RFT: I'd like to get some more test coverage before moving forward
with this patch. decode-dimms doesn't recognize the 'spd5118'
driver.

This returns ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP) if CONFIG_NVRAM=n. We have two options:

- Ignore -EOPNOTSUPP and continue registering the hwmon device

or

- Add
select NVRAM
select NVRAM_SYSFS
to the driver's Kconfig entry.

Any preferences ?

Thanks,
Guenter

Looks good to me.

Spot-checking against JSED400-5B and the embedded CRC are as expected.

It seems reasonable to support the module without the eeprom logic.
When used in a fixed, embedded environment, the eeprom is of limited
value as it's known beforehand, while the hwmon functionality is still
useful.

Makes sense. Another question:

This:

+ struct nvmem_config nvmem_config = {
+ .type = NVMEM_TYPE_EEPROM,
+ .name = dev_name(dev),
+ .id = NVMEM_DEVID_AUTO,

results in:

$ ls /sys/bus/nvmem/devices
0-00501 0-00512 0-00523 0-00534 cmos_nvram0
^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^

which really doesn't look good. My current plan is to go with NVMEM_DEVID_NONE,
which results in

$ ls /sys/bus/nvmem/devices
0-0050 0-0051 0-0052 0-0053 cmos_nvram0

We could also used fixed strings, but "spd" results in "spd[1-4]" which
I think would be a bit misleading since the DDR3/4 SPD data format is
different, and "spd5118" would result in "spd5118[1-4]" which again would
look odd. Any suggestions ?

In order of descending, personal preference:

* spd-ddr5-[0-3] (.id = client->address - 0x50)
* spd-ddr5-[0-3] (NVMEM_DEVID_AUTO)
* Same with only "ddr5-"
* spd5118-[0-3]
* Your proposal from above
* nvmem[0-3] (default handling)
* 0-0050-[0-3]

Also can't a user of the eeprom already figure out which kind of module
it is by looking at the eeprom contents?
The first few bytes used for that seem to be compatible between at least
DDR4 and DDR5.

So using plain spd[1-4] could be enough.

Hi,

this will break as soon as more than 8 DDR5 DIMMs are installed.

This could cause problems when DDR6 arrives.
Personally i would prefer the spd5118-X (NVMEM_DEVID_AUTO) format.

i2c_register_spd() only handles 8 DIMMs, too.
JESD 300-5B.01 (section 2.6.5) also defines i2c addresses for 8 DIMMS only.

Outside of that range we could fall back to something else.

I have the impression that the eeprom layouts are designed to be
forward and backward compatible.

If a non-DDR5-aware parser reads the contents of a DDR5 eeprom it will
fail the CRC check, so there can be no accidental misinterpretation.
(Because the CRC'ed area is larger and the CRC is at another location)

On the other hand the first bytes of DDR4 and DDR5 are compatible, so
even an unaware parser can recognize that a SPD eeprom is being read and
which DIMM type and specification revision it is.

This seems intentional and therefore should also hold true for DDR5 to DDR6.

Looking into how this is handled by other drivers:

- at24 generates directories named {bus}-005{0-7}X, where X is from NVMEM_DEVID_AUTO.
Alternatively, it uses the 'label' devicetree property. In that case, the name
will be <label>X, with X again determined by NVMEM_DEVID_AUTO.
It does that to prevent duplicate file names due to duplicate labels.

- ee1004 does not use the nvmem subsystem, and thus there will be no
entries in /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/.

NVMEM_DEVID_AUTO counts up from 0, and affects every nvmem device. That means
the assigned ID is not fixed but simply reflects the n-th device using it,
in the order of registration. Effectively this means that any fixed name
plus NVMEM_DEVID_AUTO can not be associated with the originating device,
and there would be no guarantee that it was static (meaning it could change
from boot to boot). spd5118-X would not mean the Xth DIMM, it would be the
Xth device registering with the nvmem subsystem.

At the same time, something like spd5118-X, with X derived only from the
i2c address, would not work large systems because there could be DIMMs on
multiple I2C busses. X would have to derived from the bus number plus
the I2C address, such as '(bus << 3) | (address & 7)'. Even that would
not be static since the bus number could change from boot to boot
depending on the i2c bus instantiation order. It would also require extra
code since the name would have to be generated in the driver.

In the context of at24.c not really caring and ee1004.c not even using
the nvmem subsystem, I think it doesn't really matter how the nvmem device
subdirectories are named as long as they are unique. decode-dimms won't
use it, and I guess no one else really cares because, after all, ee1004
doesn't even support /sys/bus/nvmem/ in the first place and at24 uses the
odd/unusual form of {bus}-005{0-7}X.

Given all that, I'll just stick with the simple dev_name(dev) and
NVMEM_DEVID_NONE. That creates a clear association to i2c bus and address
without requiring extra code or a lengthy explanation how the index is
generated while at the same time guaranteeing uniqueness. I _could_ add
code to use the devicetree label if provided, but that would require using
the same mechanism as used by at24, i.e., we'd end up with {bus}-005{0-7}X
default names (after all, someone could provide duplicate labels or labels
such as "0-0050"). If that is deemed useful it could be added later.

Thanks,
Guenter

Agreed, but that doesn't mean that there must only be 8 DIMMs in the system.
It only means that there can only be up to 8 DIMMs on a single I2C bus.

i2c_register_spd() only exists if CONFIG_DMI is enabled. While that is supported
for multiple architectures, it is not supported on, for example, powerpc.
DDR5 support is not limited to systems supporting DMI, and/or to systems where
DMI is enabled. The ee1004 driver explicitly supports more than one i2c bus, and
I don't think it would be a good idea to limit DDR5 support to a single bus.

Ultimately that means that we can not rely on i2c_register_spd() for
auto-instantiation, even after adding DDR5 support to it.
