Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] dt-bindings: phy: add mediatek mipi csi driver v 0.5

From: Florian Sylvestre <[email protected]>

This adds the bindings, for the MIPI CD-PHY module v 0.5 embedded in
some Mediatek soc, such as the mt8365

What are the changes? IOW: changelog here or in cover letter.

Subject: you have some multiple spaces.

Subject: drop driver. Bindings are not for drivers.

SoC based compatibles. 0-5 is odd.

Why this cannot be implied from compatible? Add specific compatibles.

Hi Krzysztof,
I added a changelog in the cover letter, but I will try to be more
descritpive next time. Changes from v1 are mainly style issues fixed
(mostly from your first review)

This cannot be implied by compatible because the number of phys depends
on the soc and each phy can be either D-PHY only or CD-PHY capable.
For example mt8365 has 2 phy: CSI0 and CSI1. CSI1 is DPHY only and CSI0 is CD-PHY

What do you mean by "in cover letter"? There is no cover letter.

So it is SoC specific so why it cannot be implied by compatible? I don't
understand. You will have SoC specific compatibles, right? or you just
ignored my comments here?

Julien, your cover letter[1] was sent to a a different list of
recipients than the patches, and most important for this thread, it was
*not* sent to the devictree list. So I'm guessing that's why Krzysztof
doesn't see it in his devicetree review queue. Generally, you should
have the same list of recipients for the cover letter as the patches
since reviewers/maintainers generally filter mail based on which mailing
lists are in to/cc.

Julien, I think you had SoC specific compatibles in an earlier version
but then changed it to be generic based on reviewer feedback. However,
that earlier version of the driver was trying to do a bunch of SoC
specific logic internally and support multiple SoCs. You've now greatly
simplified the driver, with only a few SoC specific decisions needed.
These can be implied by the driver based SoC specific compatible, as
Krzysztof suggests, so you should just go back to having SoC specific
compatibles.

Yes. If there is common part, e.g. several SoCs use the same device with
same programming model, then the generic recommendation is to have
SoC-based fallback (used also in the driver) and SoC-specific compatibles.

Second accepted solution is to have generic fallback which does not use
SoC in the compatible (and of course mandatory SoC-specific comaptibles).

Third is to use versioned IP blocks.

The second case also would work, if it is applicable to you (you really
have fallback matching all devices). Third solution depends on your
versioning and Rob expressed dislike about it many times.

We had many discussions on mailing lists, thus simplifying the review -
I recommend the first choice. For a better recommendation you should say
a bit more about the block in different SoCs.

Krzysztof

I'll try to say a bit more about the PHY block, but in fact, it's not
just about differences between SoCs. On the same SoC, 2 different PHYs
may have different features/capabilities.

For example, on MT8365, There are 2 PHYs: CSI0 and CSI1. CSI0 can
function as a C-PHY or a D-PHY, but CSI1 can only function as D-PHY
(used as the example in the binding patch[1].) On another related SoC,
there are 3 PHYs, where CSI0 is C-D but CSI1 & CSI2 are only D.

So that's why it seems (at least to me) that while we need SoC
compatible, it's not enough. We also need properties to describe
PHY-specific features (e.g. C-D PHY)

Of course, we could rely only on SoC-specific compatibles describe this.
But then driver will need an SoC-specific table with the number of PHYs
and per-PHY features for each SoC encoded in the driver. Since the
driver otherwise doesn't (and shouldn't, IMHO) need to know how many
PHYs are on each SoC, I suggested to Julien that perhaps the additional
propery was the better solution.

To me it seems redundant to have the driver encode PHYs-per-SoC info,
when the per-SoC DT is going to have the same info, so my suggestion was
to simplify the driver and have this kind of hardware description in the
DT, and keep the driver simple, but we are definitely open to learning
the "right way" of doing this.

Thanks for your review and guidance,

Kevin

I recall the same or very similar case... It bugs me now, but
unfortunately I cannot find it.

Phys were modeled as separate device instances, so you would need
difference in compatible to figure out which phy is it.

Other way could be to create device for all phys and use phy-cells=1.
Whether it makes sense, depends on the actual datasheet - maybe the
split phy per device is artificial? There is one PHY block with two
address ranges for each PHY - CSI0 and CSI1 - but it is actually one
block? You should carefully check this because once design is chosen,
you won't be able to go back to other and it might be a problem (e.g.
there is some top-level block for powering on all CSI instances).

The property then is reasonable. It should not be bool, though, because
it does not scale. There can be next block which supports only D-PHY on
CSI0 and C-PHY on CSI1? Maybe some enum or list, depending on possible
configurations.

We're pretty sure these are multiple instances of the IP block as they
can operate completely independently.

OK, looks like include/dt-bindings/phy/phy.y already has

#define PHY_TYPE_DPHY 10
#define PHY_TYPE_CPHY 11

we'll add a PHY_TYPE_CDPHY and use that. Sound reasonable?

Yes. Currently it is usually used as phy-cells argument (after the phy
number/lane/ID), but cdns,phy-type and intel,phy-mode use it directly as
property in provider. In both cases they have a bit different meaning
than yours. You want to list all supported modes or narrow/restrict
them. Maybe hisilicon,fixed-mode fits your purpose?

Hi Krzysztof,

Thanks for the suggestion, using something like hisilicon,fixed-node
looks like a good fit.
With mediatek,fixed-node, by default CSI node will be considered as
CD-PHY capable (unless the fixed-mode property is set.) so I won't need
anymore the new define PHY_TYPE_CDPHY introduced in v3.

Also introducing mediatek,fixed-mode suggests that PHYs not declaring
the fixed mode property support mode selection, so I suggest to add a
phy argument (#phy-cells = <1>) to select the mode (D or C mode).
Exactly what is done by the hsilicon driver.

How does that sound to you?

Best,
Julien

No, because these defines are the 1 mode used for a specific connection,
not the set of supported modes.

There is also 'phy-type' to set the mode/type in the provider.

If we need to list all possible modes, then you need to justify why
that's needed and then define a property which is a mask of the
existing type defines.

I don't follow the need for fixed-mode, but agree you should use a phy
arg. Can't you just assume the D-PHY only instance will only have D-PHY
for the arg?
