Subject: [PATCH v10 0/7] PCI: brcmstb: root port turns on sub-device power

v10 -- Bindings commit example: in comment, refer to bridge under
controller node as a root port. (Pali)
-- Bindings commit example: remove three properties that are not
appropriate for a PCIe endpoint node. (Rob)

v9 -- Simplify where this mechanism works: instead of looking for
regulators below every bridge, just look for them at the
bridge under the root bus (root port). Now there is no
modification of portdrv_{pci,core}.c in this submission.
-- Although Pali is working on support for probing native
PCIe controller drivers, this work may take some time to
implement and it still might not be able to accomodate
our driver's requirements (e.g. vreg suspend/resume control).
-- Move regulator suspend/resume control to Brcm RC driver. It
must reside there because (a) in order to know when to
initiate linkup during resume and (b) to turn on the
regulators before any config-space accesses occur.
-- Commit message spelling, word choice (Bjorn, Krzysztof)
-- Refactor a small commit that was ignoring a funcs' return
values (Bjorn).
-- Here is a summary of this mechanism:

If:
-- PCIe RC driver sets pci_ops {add,remove)_bus to
pci_subdev_regulators_{add,remove}_bus during its probe.
-- There is a DT node "RB" under the host bridge DT node.
-- During the RC driver's pci_host_probe() the add_bus callback
is invoked where (bus->parent && pci_is_root_bus(bus->parent)
is true

Then:
-- A struct subdev_regulators structure will be allocated and
assigned to bus->dev.driver_data.
-- regulator_bulk_{get,enable}() will be invoked on &bus->dev
and the former will search for and process any
vpcie{12v,3v3,3v3aux}-supply properties that reside in node "RB".
-- The regulators will be turned off/on for any unbind/bind operations.
-- The regulators will be turned off/on for any suspend/resumes, but
only if the RC driver handles this on its own. This will appear
in a later commit for the pcie-brcmstb.c driver.

v8 -- Only the two binding commits and the "Change brcm_phy_stop()" commit
are unchanged.
-- The code has been moved to portdrv_pci.c and bus.c. The regulators
are placed in bus->dev.driver_data (bus->sysdata is already occupied
by the Broadcom PCIe). Two functions, pci_subdev_regulators_{add,remove}_bus()
are created to turn the regulators on/off. The pcie_portdriver also sets
its pci_driver methods suspend and resume when the conditions are
right for this feature. (Robh for suggestions, although I probably
erred in following them).
-- Have the root complex return 0xffffffff on accesses even when
the link is down and the HW doesn't support such accesses (PaliR).
-- Just call devm_bulk_regulator_get() on standard supplies; don't
bother pre-scanning the DT for them (MarkB).

v7 -- RobH suggested putting the "vpcixxx-supply" property under the
bridge-node rather than the endpoint device node. Also, he said to
use the pci-ops add_bus/remove methods. Doing so simplifies the
code greatly and three commits were dropped. Thanks!

-- Rob also suggested (I think) having this patchset be a general
feature which is activated by an OF property under the bridge node.
I tried to do that but realized that our root complex driver
controls the regulators with its dev_pm_ops and there is no way to
transfer this control when using general mechanism. Note that
although the regulator core deals with suspend, our RC driver wants
the right to sometimes to preclude this for WOL scenarios.

-- One commit was added to change the response to the return value of
the pci_ops add_bus() method. Currently, an error causes a WARNING,
a dev_err(...), and continues to return the child bus. The
modification was, for returning -ENOLINK only, to skip WARNING &
dev_err() and return NULL. This is necessary for our RC HW, as if
the code continues on it will do a pci_read_config_dword() for the
vendor/id, and our HW flags a CPU abort (instead of returning
0xffffffff) when the is no pcie-link established.

[NOTE: MarkB, I did not add one of your two "Reviewed-by"s
because the commit had a decent amount of change.]

v6 -- Dropped the idea of a placeholder regulator
property (brcm-ep-a-supply). (MarkB)
-- device_initialize() now called once. Two
commits were added for this. (GKH)
-- In two cases, separated a single function
into two or more functions (MarkB)
-- "(void)foo();" => "foo()". Note that although
foo() returns an int, in this instance it is being
invoked within a function returning void, and foo()
already executes a dev_err() on error. (MarkB)
-- Added a commit to correct PCIe interrupts in YAML.
-- Removed "device_type = "pci";" for the EP node
in the YAML example.
-- Updated the URL related to the voltage regulator
names on GitHub. Note that I added vpciev3v3aux.

v5 [NOTE: It has been a while since v4. Sorry]
-- See "PCI: allow for callback to prepare nascent subdev"
commit message for the cornerstone of this patchset
and the reasons behind it. This is a new commit.
-- The RC driver now looks into its DT children and
turns on regulators for a sub-device, and this occurs
prior to PCIe link as it must.
-- Dropped commits not related to the focus of this patchset.

v4 [NOTE: I'm not sure this fixes RobH and MarkB constraints but I'd
like to use this pullreq as a basis for future discussion.]
[Commit: Add bindings for ...]
-- Fix syntax error in YAML bindings example (RobH)
-- {vpcie12v,vpcie3v3}-supply props are back in root complex DT node
(I believe RobH said this was okay)
[Commit: Add control of ..]
-- Do not do global search for regulator; now we look specifically

-- Commit message content (Bjorn)
-- Move 6/6 hunk to 2/6 where it belongs (Bjorn)

v3 -- Driver now searches for EP DT subnode for any regulators to turn on.
If present, these regulators have the property names
"vpcie12v-supply" and "vpcie3v3-supply". The existence of these
regulators in the EP subnode are currently pending as a pullreq
in pci-bus.yaml at
https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/pull/54
(MarkB, RobH).
-- Check return of brcm_set_regulators() (Florian)
-- Specify one regulator string per line for easier update (Florian)
-- Author/Committer/Signoff email changed from that of V2 from
'[email protected]' to '[email protected]'.

v2 -- Use regulator bulk API rather than multiple calls (MarkB).

v1 -- Bindings are added for fixed regulators that may power the EP device.
-- The brcmstb RC driver is modified to control these regulators
during probe, suspend, and resume.
-- 7216 type SOCs have additional error reporting HW and a
panic handler is added to dump its info.
-- A missing return value check is added.

Do at least a dev_err() on some calls to reset_control_rearm() and
brcm_phy_stop(). In some cases it may not make sense to return this error
value "above" as doing so will cause more trouble than is warranted.

Add bindings for Brcmstb EP voltage regulators. A new mechanism is to be
added to the Linux PCI subsystem that will allocate and turn on/off
regulators. These are standard regulators -- vpcie12v, vpcie3v3, and
vpcie3v3aux -- placed in the DT in the bridge node under the host bridge
device.

The use of a regulator property in the pcie EP subnode such as
"vpcie12v-supply" depends on a pending pullreq to the pci-bus.yaml

Subject: [PATCH v10 4/7] PCI: Add mechanism to turn on subdev regulators

Add a mechanism to identify standard PCIe regulators in the DT, allocate
them, and turn them on before the rest of the bus is scanned during
pci_host_probe(). A root complex driver can leverage this mechanism by
setting the pci_ops methods add_bus and remove_bus to
pci_subdev_regulators_{add,remove}_bus. If the root complex driver needs
to control the regulators on suspend or resume, it must grab the regulator
object pointer during the add_bus call by wrapping
pci_subdev_regulators_bus() with its own add_bus function.

The allocated structure that contains the regulators is stored in the port
driver dev.driver_data field. Here is a point-by-point of how and
when this mechanism is activated:

If:
-- PCIe RC driver sets pci_ops {add,remove)_bus to
pci_subdev_regulators_{add,remove}_bus during its probe.
-- There is a DT node "RB" under the host bridge DT node.
-- During the RC driver's pci_host_probe() the add_bus callback
is invoked where (bus->parent && pci_is_root_bus(bus->parent)
is true

Then:
-- A struct subdev_regulators structure will be allocated and
assigned to bus->dev.driver_data.
-- regulator_bulk_{get,enable} will be invoked on &bus->dev
and the former will search for and process any
vpcie{12v,3v3,3v3aux}-supply properties that reside in node "RB".
-- The regulators will be turned off/on for any unbind/bind operations.
-- The regulators will be turned off/on for any suspend/resumes, but
only if the RC driver handles this on its own. This will appear
in a later commit for the pcie-brcmstb.c driver.

The unabridged reason for doing this is as follows. We would like the
Broadcom STB PCIe root complex driver (and others) to be able to turn
off/on regulators[1] that provide power to endpoint[2] devices. Typically,
the drivers of these endpoint devices are stock Linux drivers that are not
aware that these regulator(s) exist and must be turned on for the driver to
be probed. The simple solution of course is to turn these regulators on at
boot and keep them on. However, this solution does not satisfy at least
three of our usage modes:

1. For example, one customer uses multiple PCIe controllers, but wants the
ability to, by script invoking and unbind, turn any or all of them by and
their subdevices off to save power, e.g. when in battery mode.

2. Another example is when a watchdog script discovers that an endpoint
device is in an unresponsive state and would like to unbind, power toggle,
and re-bind just the PCIe endpoint and controller.

3. Of course we also want power turned off during suspend mode. However,
some endpoint devices may be able to "wake" during suspend and we need to
recognise this case and veto the nominal act of turning off its regulator.
Such is the case with Wake-on-LAN and Wake-on-WLAN support where PCIe
end-point device needs to be kept powered on in order to receive network
packets and wake-up the system.

In all of these cases it is advantageous for the PCIe controller to govern
the turning off/on the regulators needed by the endpoint device. The first
two cases can be done by simply unbinding and binding the PCIe controller,
if the controller has control of these regulators.

[1] These regulators typically govern the actual power supply to the
endpoint chip. Sometimes they may be the official PCIe socket
power -- such as 3.3v or aux-3.3v. Sometimes they are truly
the regulator(s) that supply power to the EP chip.

[2] The 99% configuration of our boards is a single endpoint device
attached to the PCIe controller. I use the term endpoint but it could
possibly mean a switch as well.

Subject: [PATCH v10 5/7] PCI: brcmstb: Split brcm_pcie_setup() into two funcs

We need to take some code in brcm_pcie_setup() and put it in a new function
brcm_pcie_linkup(). In future commits the brcm_pcie_linkup() function will
be called indirectly by pci_host_probe() as opposed to the host driver
invoking it directly.

Some code that was executed after the PCIe linkup is now placed so that it
executes prior to linkup, since this code has to run prior to the
invocation of pci_host_probe().

Subject: [PATCH v10 6/7] PCI: brcmstb: Add control of subdevice voltage regulators

This Broadcom STB PCIe RC driver has one port and connects directly to one
device, be it a switch or an endpoint. We want to be able to leverage
the recently added mechansim that allocates and turns on/off subdevice
regulators.

All that needs to be done is to put the regulator DT nodes in the bridge
below host and to set the pci_ops methods add_bus and remove_bus.

Note that the pci_subdev_regulators_add_bus() method is wrapped for two
reasons:

1. To acheive linkup after the voltage regulators are turned on.

2. If, in the case of an unsuccessful linkup, to redirect
any PCIe accesses to subdevices, e.g. the scan for
DEV/ID. This redirection is needed because the Broadcom
PCIe HW wil issue a CPU abort if such an access is made when
there is no linkup.

You now have a mixture of 'generic' add/remove_bus hooks and the host
controller suspend/resume managing the regulators. I think long term,
the portdrv is going to be the right place for all of this with some
interface defined for link control. So I think this solution moves
sideways rather than towards anything common.

Unfortunately, the only leverage maintainers have to get folks to care
about any refactoring is to reject features. We're lucky to find anyone
to test refactoring when posted if done independently. There's a long
list of commits of PCI hosts that I've broken to prove that. So it's
up to Lorenzo and Bjorn on what they want to do here.

After version 10, it would seem pretty clear that we are still very much
committed to and interested in getting that set merged and do it the
most acceptable way possible. Common code with a single user is always a
little bit of a grey area to me as it tends to be developed to cater for
the specific needs of that single user, so the entire common aspect is
debatable. I suppose as long as we have the binding right, the code can
change at will.

Not trying to coerce Bjorn and Lorenzo into accepting these patches if
they don't feel comfortable, but what about getting it included so we
can sort of move on from that topic for a little bit (as we have other
PCIe changes coming in, supporting additional chips etc.) and we work
with Pali on a common solution and ensure it works on our pcie-brcmstb.c
based devices? We are not going to vanish and not come back looking at this.

Sorry for being late on reviewing this set. I agree with both of you.

I don't think Bjorn had a chance to have a look at patch (4) now I am
delegating it to him; I am not very keen on adding functionality to PCI
core where it is still a question whether it can be reused by other
drivers (forgive me if I missed some details on previous review
versions).

Is it possible to keep patch (4) brcmstb specific (ie keep the code
out of PCI core for now), we then merge this series and help Pali
implement a generic version based on Rob's suggestion ?

Just let me know please, thanks.
