Subject: [PATCHv7 0/2] Adding driver for Xilinx LogiCORE IP mailbox.

Hi all,

Thanks for hanging in there, hopefully the last round of review ...

This patchset adds mailbox framework integration for the Xilinx LogiCORE IP
mailbox. The Xilinx LogiCORE IP mailbox is a fpga softcore that allows
interprocessor communication between AXI4 stream / memory mapped
processors.

Cheers,

Moritz

Changes from v6:
- As suggested by Jassi and Sören use #mbox-cells = <1>

Changes from v5:
- Fixed constness for ops struct
- Removed redundant checks
- Moved ops assignment
- Removed MODULE_ALIAS

Changes from v4:
- Have separate mbox_ops structs for polling / irq mode
- Moved clk handling to startup / shutdown
- Embedded struct mbox_chan in struct xilinx_mbox
- Fixed mbox-cells in devicetree documentation
- Misc stylistic issues

Changes from v3:
- Stylistic changes
- Changed reg size in dts to 0x100

Changes from v2:
- Fixed error condition for IRQ from >= 0 to > 0
- Fixed clock enable
- Cleaned up docs

Changes from v1:
- Added common clock framework support
- Deal with IRQs that happend before driver load,
since HW will not let us know about them when we enable IRQs

Changes from v0:
- Several stylistic issues
- Dropped superfluous intr_mode member
- Really masking the IRQs on mailbox_shutdown
- No longer using polling by accident in non-IRQ mode
- Swapped doc and driver commits

+Xilinx Mailbox Driver
+=====================
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "xlnx,mailbox-2.1".
+- reg : physical base address of the mailbox and length of
+ memory mapped region.
+- #mbox-cells : common mailbox binding property to identify the number
+ of cells required for the mailbox specifier, should be 1
+- clocks : phandle to clock provider
+- clock-names : must be 'mbox'
+
+Optional properties:
+- interrupt-parent : interrupt source phandle
+- interrupts : interrupt number, The interrupt specifier format
+ depends on the interrupt controller parent.
+
+Example:
+ mbox: mailbox@40400000 {
+ compatible = "xlnx,mailbox-2.1";
+ reg = <0x40400000 0x100>;
+ interrupt-parent = <&intc>;
+ interrupts = <5>;
+ #mbox-cells = <1>;
+ clocks = <&clkc 15>;
+ clock-names = "mbox";
+ };
+
+Mailbox client
+===============
+"mboxes" and the optional "mbox-names" (please see
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/mailbox.txt for details). Each value
+of the mboxes property should contain a phandle to the mailbox controller
+device node and second argument is the channel index. It must be 0 (hardware
+support only one channel). The equivalent "mbox-names" property value can be
+used to give a name to the communication channel to be used by the client user.
+
+Example:
+ mclient0: mclient0@400 {
+ compatible = "client-1.0";
+ reg = <0x400 0x10>;
+ mbox-names = "mbox";
+ mboxes = <&mbox 0>;
+ };

The Xilinx LogiCORE IP mailbox is a FPGA core that allows for
interprocessor communication via AXI4 memory mapped / AXI4 stream

Hi Jassi,

just a ping to see if you're waiting on me to fix things or if this is
good to go from your point of view,
and you're just waiting some time to give people more time to review.

Let me know if you want me to resend with Soeren's Acked-By

Cheers,

Moritz

If RDDATA is a FIFO, then above seems wrong - you are assuming
messages are always going to be exactly 32-bits for every protocol.
Ideally you should empty the fifo fully, at least when RX has an
interrupt.

This check is redundant. last_tx_done already makes sure this is always true.

Instead of FULL, I think it should check for stricter EMPTY status ...
mbox api submits only 1 message at a time.

I believe there is indeed some platform that doesn't have RX-Interrupt?
If no, please remove this.
If yes, you may want to get some hint from platform about the size of
messages and do mbox_chan_received_data() only upon reading those many
bytes.

Cheers.

Hi Jassi,

thanks for your feedback.

you can tell if it's full for send direction, or empty for read direction.

Maybe the STI / RTI can be setup in a smart way to work with multiple message
sizes.

Good to know. I'll fix it.

How do I determine the message size? Doesn't
drivers/mailbox/bcm2835-mailbox.c or
mailbox-altera.c make the same assumption?

The EMPTY status applies to the receive direction only, I could check
the STI status
bit though I suppose.

I'd be fine to drop the polling use case for the moment, on my
platform I can wire up the IRQ.
We can always add it back in in a follow up use case.

Simply read the whole FIFO and leave it to the client driver to parse
that data according to the protocol it drives.

Always expect any write request is exactly the size of FIFO depth.

Well I did point it out
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-rpi-kernel/2015-June/001902.html
... but developer assumes there will _never_ be need to pass a
message bigger than 32-bits. Sadly overlooking the possibility that
some protocol might have simple, say, 64-bits wide commands and
responses that could avoid using any Shared-Memory at all.

There are 2 registers, for CMD and PRT each, that make up 1 message.
It doesn't seem like a fifo.

I don't know the h/w but you get my idea. So whatever is in the next revision.
