Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] pwm: kona: Remove setting default smooth type and polarity for all channels

From: Arun Ramamurthy <[email protected]>

The probe routine unnecessarily sets the smooth type and polarity for
all channels. This causes the channel for the speaker to click at the same
time the backlight turns on. The smooth type and polarity should be set individually
for each channel as required and no defaults need to be set.

I am guessing you are talking about a PWM controlled beeper/buzzer.

Can you mention what board you are observing this issue on?

Also please explain why setting these bits result in an audible click.

While the smooth bit need not be set here, it is important that the
polarity bit be set.

Otherwise software will report the polarity as normal when it it is
actually inversed.

Consider the case where a userspace process is controlling the PWM via sysfs.

The framework does restrict when polarity changes can occur but it
isn't clear to me that there is any reason to delay applying the
polarity change. Keep in mind that polarity matters even when a PWM
is disabled. While disabled, the output should be equivalent to an
enabled configuration with zero duty. Thus for normal polarity the
output is constant low and for inversed polarity the output is
constant high. I believe there is an expectation that the output is
updated to reflect the requested polarity change prior to returning to
the caller.

The driver is fairly small and this change rewrites a considerable amount of it.

Is there a actually specific deficiency that this change is intended to address?

I'm not sure all the extra helper functions improve readability.

I believe the output will spike high here. Likely not what you want...

This is wrong. You shouldn't change the polarity when the PWM is disabled.

The original polarity isn't even restored when it is re-enabled...

This change is more so to remove setting smooth type and polarity for
all channels during probe and to leave them as their default values.
Infact, setting the PWM_CONTROL_TYPE_SHIT is also redundant cause the
default value is already 1 for all channels. We can remove that loop
entirely and this will be done in the next patch set. The smooth type
and polarity are only changed when the particular pwm channel is enabled
or polarity is changed.

We observe this on the bcm958300K board where one of the
PWM channels is connected to the buzzer and changing the
smooth type and polarity from its default values causes a click

The default value for polarity is 0 which is normal polarity, so setting
it to 1 here in the probe function without a sysfs call is
when the software will report the polarity as normal when it is actually
inversed.

I agree with you about the sysfs case Tim, but since this is the probe
function and not a sysfs callback, should we not leave it as the default
value?

I examined several other drivers such as pwm-atmel-tcb.c, pwm-ep93xx.c,
pwm-renesas-tpu.c, pwm-samsung.c in the 3.17 kernel tree and none of
them enable the channel after changing polarity. We would be the first
driver to do so.

The driver does set the duty cycle to zero when disabling the pwm
channel.However since the frame work prevents polarity change when the
pwm is enabled, I don’t see how one could expect the polarity change to
be reflected immediately without a separate call to pwm enable.


I believe there is an expectation that the output is

Once again I disagree with this based on other pwm drivers which only
change the polarity and do not enable the channel when their set
polarity functions are called.

The main issue this patchset addresses is setting the period and duty
cycle when the pwm is disabled. This is done by turning on the clock and
writing to the PWM registers. Additionally it also adds the 400ns
delays specified by the PWM spec when setting or clearing certain bits.
It also updates the PWM programming procedure to match the spec more
closely. Although there is considerable change, all of it addresses the
core functionality and it would not make sense to split it into multiple
patches.

There was a lot of repeated code in various different functions. It
seemed more efficient to consolidate them into helper functions. It also
helped when comparing the spec to the code to check if we were
setting the bits in the right order.

According to spec, this is the procedure to program the PWM and the code
follows that:

STEP0: Program SMOOTH_TYPE=1. That will only allow changing of PWM
setting at the PWM period boundary.
STEP1: Program PWMOUT_ENABLE=0. At this time, PWM internal logic will
continue to run with the previous settings. (i.e. If PWM is at 50Hz 40%
duty cycle before, during the time when PWMOUT_ENABLE=0, it will still
run at 50MHz 40% duty cycle.)
STEP2: Program PWM register for new setting (i.e. PRESCALE, DUTY,
PERIOD etc)
STEP3: Program PWMOUT_ENABLE=1. That will load the new PWM setting
from APB into PWM internal register. (Note. Minimum of 400ns is needed
between step1 and step3. )
STEP4: Keep PWMOUT ENABLE=1. (Note: If user didn't hold
PWMOUT_ENABLE=1 for longer than 400ns, PWM internal logic will discard
the new PWM setting in step2. User should hold the PWMOUT_ENABLE=1
unless new PWM settings is needed.)

this is procedure from the PWM spec to disable :

STEP0: Program SMOOTH_TYPE=0.
STEP1: Program PWMOUT_ENABLE=0. Now, PWM internal logic will be at
reset, PWM output will be default at 1.
STEP2: Program PWM register to these setting. PRESCALE=0, POLARITY=1,
DUTY=0, PERIOD=0.
STEP3: Program PWMOUT_ENABLE=1, and Keep SMOOTH_TYPE=0.
STEP4: Turn off PWM clock from CCU, and Keep PWMOUT ENABLE=1. (Note,
It takes 400ns from STEP3 to turn off the LCD backlight, and user should
guarantee that the PWM clock will not be disabled in less than 400ns
after STEP3.

I agree with you that the original polarity isnt restored. I will need
to add some code to check the syfs polarity value when the PWM is
enabled. However, if i was to comply with the above spec, I would still
have set the polarity. I just realized it should be set to inverted and
I will fix this in the next patchset

Which of these two bits is causing the click?

I've already said that I'm open to removing the smooth bit here if that helps.

Please double check the meaning of the polarity bits for the revision
of PWM IP in your chip. I suspect you are mistaken here.

This driver is for PWM blocks compatible those found in bcm28145,
bcm28155, bcm21664, and other mobile chips of that generation.

Apparently in contrast to the chip you are using, a set polarity bit
in the control register means normal polarity for the chips I
mentioned.

A default of zero for these bits means they must be set to meet the
PWM framework's expectation that channels begin with normal polarity.

Thank you for your quick reply Tim. It is setting the polarity bit that

Tim, this is from the RDB of our new chip which is supposed to have the
same IP as the mobile chip sets you mentioned:

When set to 1 the output polarity for the PWM Output signal will be
active hight; When set to 0, the output polarity for the PWM Output
signal will be active low. Default State is 0.

My understanding is that the frameworks normal polarity means active
low, am I mistaken in that?

We are not "enabling" the channel as much as we are "triggering an
application of settings" by hardware.

Both pwm-ep93xx and pwm-samsung write polarity settings to the
hardware immediately, presumably resulting in an immediate change in
output.

Alternatively, the pwm-atmel-tcb and pwm-renesas-tpu drivers save the
polarity and write it to hardware later.

There may be advantages to deferring the application of the polarity
till a subsequent enable but both approaches appear to be acceptable.

I don't know why you keep calling this an enable. Its not an enable,
it is only a trigger.

Perhaps this would be best explained with an example:

# Export PWM for access by userspace
cd /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0
echo 0 > export
cd pwm0

# Request 50% duty output when PWM is enabled
echo 50000 > duty_cycle
echo 100000 > period

# Command Inversed Polarity
echo inversed > polarity

# Command Normal Polarity
echo normal > polarity

# Enable PWM
echo 1 > enable

The polarity changes trigger immediate output updates but the PWM is
not enabled until the end.

Prior to the last step the output is either a constant high or low
signal, not the 50% duty waveform.

So what you are saying is that there isn't any known issue that this resolves.

This only changes the driver to use an alternate programming sequence?

The benefit here seems uncertain.

This is exactly what I was saying before. You glitch the output high
for no good reason.

The sequence in the document isn't gospel. From what I recall, it was
just a verification engineer's best guess at how to get a very unusual
PWM controller to do the normal PWM things.

Does it cause a click at this moment or at a later point in time?

Is the click your sole motivation for this series? If so, can you
propose a more targeted fix?

I would be amenable to deferring polarity changes until subsequent
enable operations:

- kona_pwmc_probe doesn't do any hardware writes
- kona_pwmc_set_polarity only updates a polarity variable
- kona_pwmc_enable sets hardware polarity according to the variable

Would this be sufficient to satisfy your needs?

I am still worried that deferring polarity changes may negatively
impact some PWM users who set polarity but don't immediately enable
the PWM.

That is not how I would interpret things.

Perhaps this paragraph from Documentation/pwm.txt will help you:

When implementing polarity support in a PWM driver, make sure to respect the
signal conventions in the PWM framework. By definition, normal polarity
characterizes a signal starts high for the duration of the duty cycle and
goes low for the remainder of the period. Conversely, a signal with inversed
polarity starts low for the duration of the duty cycle and goes high for the
remainder of the period.

Actually Tim, it addresses the bug where period and duty cycle are not
set if the PWM channel is not enabled in sysfs. Following up on your
example you provided in your other email:

# Disable PWM
echo 0 > enable

# Change to a 25% duty output when PWM is enabled
echo 25000 > duty_cycle

The original code would not write this duty cycle change to the
registers as the PWmF_ENABLED bit is not set and the clocks are turned off.

I can remove all the helper functions and address only this particular
bug if you prefer that.

So to summarize, you would prefer that the disable procedure be left
unchanged which is to set the duty cycle to zero.

You are mistaken. There is no bug here. This is by design.

A subsequent enable results in the requested duty and period being set.

I would be much more likely to give my approval to a patch that
identified a specific issue and resolved it without unnecessarily
rewriting large parts of the driver.

Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/4] pwm: kona: Remove setting default smooth type and polarity for all channels

Hi Tim,

I'm going to take over this submission because I made the changes to the
driver. Arun was filling in for me while I was on leave. Now I'm back
and I think I can help clarify why these changes were made. A summary
for all the changes should help.

There were two problems. First was a problem caused by setting the
polarity in probe. It caused the speaker to click when the polarity was
set so we took that out as it didn't seem to serve any useful purpose
that I could see. The polarity changes should be made in the polarity
callback.

The second and bigger problem was the smooth type sequence. If it isn't
done according to the spec then one in ten or twenty times you won't
even get a signal when it's enabled. Following the correct sequence with
the 400 ns delays solves this problem.

Additionally, by not following the sequence you won't get a smooth
transition. You'll get a change in the settings (duty cycle, period) but
may get a non smooth transition. So it's important to follow the spec
here. We don't want non-smooth transitions.

More comments below.

Agreed. When using DT, the polarity will be set properly. When using
sysfs there is a discrepancy and this needs to be addressed. Because the
hw default is active low, the polarity will be inversed when the sysfs
says polarity is "normal". I'll have to account for this in the driver.

Hopefully my summary in the previous reply helps clarify. I'm going to
remove all the helper functions to make the changes as simple as possible.

Agreed. No need to set polarity on disable.

I just want to clarify so we're on the same page here. The pwm channel
needs to be disabled when polarity is set. When the set polarity
callback is called it just needs to update the polarity so that when the
channel is enabled again the new polarity value is used. We write this
to the polarity register in the callback which seems appropriate. Also
note that the clock is disabled at the end of the routine so the signal
is just going to be floating anyway. Hopefully this makes sense.

Please provide more details about your configuration.

Are you using the pwm-beeper driver with a piezo?

After a reset, all PWM output will be low until the PWM clock is
enabled at which point it will be constant high. Are you confident
that this transition is not responsible for the click you are hearing?

Would the following minor change be sufficient to fix the issue?

Please provide your rationale for requiring smooth transitions.

Probably, but I don't know. We don't care about it and aren't using it
which underscores why we don't want to initialize pwm channels we aren't
using.

Not quite but hopefully I can send a patch soon for your review.

The rationale is we don't want to give customers a bad experience when
we can provide them with a better one. The driver attempts to use smooth
transitions already but due to the quirks in the procedure which were
sent out previously it doesn't quite work as intended. When changing the
waveform we want to always have smooth transitions. There are unused pwm
channels that vendors can hook up whatever they want.

Jon
