Subject: [PATCH] dt-bindings: net: dsa: realtek-smi: convert to YAML schema

Schema changes:

- "interrupt-controller" was not added as a required property. It might
still work polling the ports when missing
- "interrupt" property was mentioned but never used. According to its
description, it was assumed it was really "interrupt-parent"

Examples changes:

- renamed "switch_intc" to make it unique between examples
- removed "dsa-mdio" from mdio compatible property
- renamed phy@0 to ethernet-phy@0 (not tested with real HW)
phy@ requires #phy-cells

-Realtek SMI-based Switches
-==========================
-
-The SMI "Simple Management Interface" is a two-wire protocol using
-bit-banged GPIO that while it reuses the MDIO lines MCK and MDIO does
-not use the MDIO protocol. This binding defines how to specify the
-SMI-based Realtek devices.
-
-Required properties:
-
-- compatible: must be exactly one of:
- "realtek,rtl8365mb" (4+1 ports)
- "realtek,rtl8366"
- "realtek,rtl8366rb" (4+1 ports)
- "realtek,rtl8366s" (4+1 ports)
- "realtek,rtl8367"
- "realtek,rtl8367b"
- "realtek,rtl8368s" (8 port)
- "realtek,rtl8369"
- "realtek,rtl8370" (8 port)
-
-Required properties:
-- mdc-gpios: GPIO line for the MDC clock line.
-- mdio-gpios: GPIO line for the MDIO data line.
-- reset-gpios: GPIO line for the reset signal.
-
-Optional properties:
-- realtek,disable-leds: if the LED drivers are not used in the
- hardware design this will disable them so they are not turned on
- and wasting power.
-
-Required subnodes:
-
-- interrupt-controller
-
- This defines an interrupt controller with an IRQ line (typically
- a GPIO) that will demultiplex and handle the interrupt from the single
- interrupt line coming out of one of the SMI-based chips. It most
- importantly provides link up/down interrupts to the PHY blocks inside
- the ASIC.
-
-Required properties of interrupt-controller:
-
-- interrupt: parent interrupt, see interrupt-controller/interrupts.txt
-- interrupt-controller: see interrupt-controller/interrupts.txt
-- #address-cells: should be <0>
-- #interrupt-cells: should be <1>
-
-- mdio
-
- This defines the internal MDIO bus of the SMI device, mostly for the
- purpose of being able to hook the interrupts to the right PHY and
- the right PHY to the corresponding port.
-
-Required properties of mdio:
-
-- compatible: should be set to "realtek,smi-mdio" for all SMI devices
-
-See net/mdio.txt for additional MDIO bus properties.
-
-See net/dsa/dsa.txt for a list of additional required and optional properties
-and subnodes of DSA switches.
-
-Examples:
-
-An example for the RTL8366RB:
-
-switch {
- compatible = "realtek,rtl8366rb";
- /* 22 = MDIO (has input reads), 21 = MDC (clock, output only) */
- mdc-gpios = <&gpio0 21 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
- mdio-gpios = <&gpio0 22 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
- reset-gpios = <&gpio0 14 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
-
- switch_intc: interrupt-controller {
- /* GPIO 15 provides the interrupt */
- interrupt-parent = <&gpio0>;
- interrupts = <15 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW>;
- interrupt-controller;
- #address-cells = <0>;
- #interrupt-cells = <1>;

Thanks Linus!

> > + realtek,rtl8366rb:

There is some confusion with the n+m port description. Some 4+1 means
4 lan + 1 wan while in other cases it means 4 user + 1 ext port, even
in Realtek documentation. The last digit in realtek product numbers is
the port number (0 means 10) and it is the sum of user ports and
external ports. From what I investigated, the last digit numbers
normally mean:

3: 2 user + 1 ext port
4: 2 user + 2 ext port
5: 4 user + 1 ext port
6: 5 user + 1 ext port
7: 5 user + 2 ext port
0: 8 user + 2 ext port.

The description in YAML was from the TXT version but it is a good time
to improve it.

BTW, I couldn't find a datasheet for rtl8366rb. The commit message
says it is from a DIR-685 but wikidevi days that device has a
RTL8366SR, which is described as "SINGLE-CHIP 5+1-PORT 10/100/1000
MBPS SWITCH CONTROLLER WITH DUAL MAC INTERFACES".

Do you have any suggestions?

Luiz

I think Linus just meant to add spaces around the '+'.

'interrupt-parent' is never required. It's valid for the

This is applied to the wrong level. It should be applied to 'mdio' node.
You also need to drop 'http://devicetree.org'. With that, you can drop
most of the above. IOW, just this:

mdio:

No. 'true' is only allowed for common, incomplete schemas referenced by
other schemas. 'unevaluatedProperties: false' is what you need here.

There is none... all I have is a code dump from realtek.
The custom header had to be reverse engineered.

The device most definitely has the RTL8366RB, as can be seen in the
PCB photo here:
https://www.redeszone.net/app/uploads-redeszone.net/d-link_dir-685_analisis_15.jpg

The DIR-685 has WAN + 4 x LAN and the WAN port is handled in a separate
register from the LAN ports (suggesting it can also do an optical
line) so I think
it's 4 + 1.

I didn't write the interruption code and Linus and Alvin might help here.

The switch has a single interrupt pin that signals an interruption happened.
The code reads a register to multiplex to these interruptions:

INT_TYPE_LINK_STATUS = 0,
INT_TYPE_METER_EXCEED,
INT_TYPE_LEARN_LIMIT,
INT_TYPE_LINK_SPEED,
INT_TYPE_CONGEST,
INT_TYPE_GREEN_FEATURE,
INT_TYPE_LOOP_DETECT,
INT_TYPE_8051,
INT_TYPE_CABLE_DIAG,
INT_TYPE_ACL,
INT_TYPE_RESERVED, /* Unused */
INT_TYPE_SLIENT,

And most of them, but not all, multiplex again to each port.

However, the linux driver today does not care about any of these
interruptions but INT_TYPE_LINK_STATUS. So it simply multiplex only
this the interruption to each port, in a n-cell map (n being number of
ports).
I don't know what to describe here as device-tree should be something
independent of a particular OS or driver.

Anyway, I doubt someone might want to plug one of these interruptions
outside the switch driver. Could it be simple as this:

interrupts:
minItems: 3
maxItems: 10
description:
interrupt mapping one per switch port

Once realtek-smi.yaml settles, I'll also send the realtek-mdio.yaml.

Why not turn realtek-smi.yaml into realtek.yaml which would also contain
information for the mdio interface? The things different with using MDIO
are that we don't use the [mdc,mdio,reset]-gpios properties and don't
handle the PHYs to the DSA ports. Couldn't you present these differences
on a single YAML file?

Hello, Arinç

realtek-mdio is an mdio driver with a couple of less properties. They
do share a lot of stuff. But I don't know if I can fit the schema
validation into a single file.
YAML files are not simply documentation. They are used to validate DTS
files. But that's still off-topic. Let's finish SMI version first and
then discuss
if the MDIO version should be standalone or merged with SMI.

Your YAML file can cover both types of electrical bus, what you are
defining is the layout and the properties of the Ethernet switch Device
Tree node which is exactly the same whether the switch is the children
of a SPI controller or the children of a MDIO bus controller. If there
are properties that only apply to SPI or MDIO, you can make use of
conditionals within the YAML file to enforce those. Having a single
binding file would be very helpful to make sure all eggs are in the same
basket.

If you say it is possible, I'll give it a try. I'll just need a hand
with the interruption section.

Sorry Florian but I failed to find a way to test the parent node
(platform or mdio) and conditionally offer properties.
What I did was to guess if it is an mdio driver or not by checking the
"reg" property. Is there a better way to solve it?

Unless the DT needs to route all these interrupts to multiple nodes,
then the switch needs to be an interrupt-controller.

Now I'm lost. So it's 1 per port, not 1 for the switch?

You shouldn't need to know what Linux does to figure this out.

Correct. The switch has one physcical interrupt signal.

Yes, it is an interrupt-controller, and an interrupt-parent to the phy
nodes.

There is one physical interrupt signal for these switches. In the switch
driver IRQ handler, some registers are inspected to decide what type of
event it is. Luiz pasted the enum of possible interrupt types in his
mail above. Most of these events are ignored, or are otherwise internal
to the switch driver. But in some cases, the interrupt is actually for
one of the embedded PHYs in the switch. That's why we make the switch
an interrupt-controller.

So, in summary:

- one interrupt for the switch
- the switch is an interrupt-controller
- ... and is the interrupt-parent for the phy nodes.

The rest is internal details and shouldn't matter, as far as my
understanding of device tree bindings goes. Happy to be corrected
though.

Kind regards,
Alvin

This pattern is pretty common for DSA switches, which have internal
PHYs. You can see this in the mv88e6xxx binding for example.

The Linux driver is masquerading all those interruptions into a single
"link status changed". If interrupts property is about what the HW
sends to us, it is a single pin.

interrupt-controller:
type: object
description: |
This defines an interrupt controller with an IRQ line (typically
a GPIO) that will demultiplex and handle the interrupt from the single
interrupt line coming out of one of the Realtek switch chips. It most
importantly provides link up/down interrupts to the PHY blocks inside
the ASIC.

properties:

interrupt-controller: true

interrupts:
maxItems: 1
description:
A single IRQ line from the switch, either active LOW or HIGH

'#address-cells':
const: 0

'#interrupt-cells':
const: 1

required:
- interrupt-controller
- '#address-cells'
- '#interrupt-cells'

Now as it is also an interrupt-controller, shouldn't I document what it emits?
I've just sent the new version and we can discuss it there.

The issue is that those similar devices are still not in yaml format.

The de-multiplexing is a software construct/operation, in fact, what the
GPIO line does is multiplex since the line is used as an output to the
next level interrupt controller it connects to.

The interrupt controller emits a single output towards the next level,
and you documented that already with these properties. If you want to go
ahead and define what the various interrupt bits map to within the
switch's interrupt controller, you can do that in an
include/dt-bindings/ header file, or you can just open code the numbers.
Up to you.

That does not mean we could not update dsa.yaml to list the
