Subject: [PATCH v3 4/4] soc: imx8m: change to use platform driver

Directly reading ocotp register depends on that bootloader enables ocotp
clk, which is not always effective, so change to use nvmem API. Using
nvmem API requires to support driver defer probe and thus change
soc-imx8m.c to use platform driver.

The other reason is that directly reading ocotp register causes kexec
kernel hang because the 1st kernel running will disable unused clks
after kernel boots up, and then ocotp clk will be disabled even if
bootloader enables it. When kexec kernel, ocotp clk needs to be enabled
before reading ocotp registers, and nvmem API with platform driver
supported can accomplish this.

Old .dts files can also work.

Could this really be unused?

You already have "imx8_soc_match" which covers imx8m and now you add
"imx8m_soc_match" which also covers imx8m. Such naming is a pure
confusion.

Missing puts.

Don't duplicate the compatibles, iterate over existing structure... or
see comments below. Maybe you could simplify it with something like
of_find_matching_node_and_match()... but check comments below.

Where is the changelog? This was removed previously, now it stays...

After more thoughs, it looks you have kept it for the purpose of
supporting existing DTB, but it is not explained. Neither in the source
code (which after applying this patch looks confusing) nor in commit
message.

In case of old DTB without fsl,imx8mm-soc-like compatibles, it would be
better to still register a platform driver and create a device
(of_platform_device_create())). However still this won't solve the
problem of actually missing device node... so maybe this double entry
point is acceptable, if properly explained.

Never name unspecified booleans like "flag". The same as string
variables should be named "string", integers should not be named
"number".

Can it bind without OF? Why it's a of_match_ptr()?

Here and in all other places (including driver name) this is not a SoC
initialization (init) driver. You cannot initialize a SoC. This looks
like a SoC ID driver, so one name could be "imx8_soc_id".

[Alice Guo] device_initcall is executed earlier than module_platform_driver. imx8_soc_init will judge
whether there is "fsl,imx8mX-soc" in DTS file. If there is "fsl,imx8mX-soc", it will exit device_initcall and use module_platform_driver. The purpose is to be compatible with the old DTS file which does not have
"fsl,imx8mX-soc".

[Alice Guo] Sorry, I will add changelog next time. Actually I wrote "Old .dts files can also work." in the commit.

device_initcall is executed earlier than module_platform_driver. imx8_soc_init will judge
whether there is "fsl,imx8mX-soc" in DTS file. If there is "fsl,imx8mX-soc", it will exit device_initcall and use module_platform_driver. Can I keep double entry point?

[Alice Guo] Ok. I will modify it. Can the name of function use suffix "_flag"?

I got it, but it's not what I was pointing out. Let me make it simpler:

static const struct of_device_id imx8m_soc_match;
static const struct of_device_id imx8_soc_match;

This is pure confusion in naming.

Based on this naming:
1. imx8m_soc_match means "matching only i.MX 8M SoCs",
2. imx8_soc_match means "match all of i.MX 8".

Totally different than what you wrote here and what you intend....

If it is properly explained and there is no other way then yes, you
could. Here, for old DTBs, I would prefer to use
of_platform_device_create() and bind to "soc" node (child of root).
This way you would always have device and exactly one entry point for
the probe.

static struct platform_driver imx8_soc_init_driver = {
.probe = imx8_soc_init_probe,
.driver = {
.name = "soc@0",
},
};
Can I use "soc@0" to match this driver? It will not use of_platform_device_create(). It will use of_find_property() to determine whether
and nvmem-cells can be used. If there is no nvmem-cells, it will use the old way, which supports old DTBS. There is no need to add new
compatible.

No, the soc@0 is not a proper name for the driver.

I have no good idea, please give suggestion. Should I still add new compatible?
Should I still keep device_initcall? If use of_platform_device_create(), which
node should I use?

I mentioned my idea in the email before - of_platform_device_create() to
bind to the soc node. This will have to be in the initcall, you don't
have a choice to avoid it, since there was no compatible before.

node = of_find_node_by_path("/soc@0");
if (!node)
return -ENODEV;

pdev = of_platform_device_create(node, "XXX", NULL);
if (!pdev)
return -ENODEV;

Cannot use of_platform_device_create because "of_node_test_and_set_flag(np, OF_POPULATED)" returns true.
of_platform_device_create is used to create platform device, but soc@0 is created by common code. I don't know how
to bind to the soc node. The way I did in v3 seems not bad, it can work correctly and support old DTBs. Can I keep this way?

Indeed, it would require some more hacks and actually might not work at
all since bus device is already created. Keep the old way and fix other
pointed out issues.
