Subject: [PATCH v6] gpio: pca953x: Add Maxim MAX7313 PWM support

The MAX7313 chip is fully compatible with the PCA9535 on its basic
functions but can also manage the intensity on each of its ports with
PWM. Each output is independent and may be tuned with 16 values (4
bits per output). The period is always 32kHz, only the duty-cycle may
be changed. One can use any output as GPIO or PWM.

Signed-off-by: Miquel Raynal <[email protected]>
---

Changes in v6:
* Rebased on top of v5.7-rc3.
* Added a call to max7313_pwm_remove() in pca953x_remove() to
eventually run pwmchip_remove().

Changes in v5:
* Enhanced the derivation of the intensity from the duty_cycle and the
other way around by creating two helpers. These helpers use a more
precise fixed point calculation logic than before (multiply then
divide instead of the opposite).
* The above change also takes into account that the period cannot be
changed, so it doest not matter the given period (as long as it is
considered as valid), the actual period used for it will be the one
of the IP (not the one given by the user).
* Simplified #define's as suggested by Andy.
* Simplified the check for the IP being compatible with these PWM bits
as proposed by Andy, also moved into a helper.
* Added missing error checks on regmap_read(). As the main function
using it returns void, I decided to print a warning and return a
duty_cycle value of 0.
* Removed a redundant condition.
* Simplified the access to the device structure from the PWM chip
structure.
* Used __assign_bit() instead of the set_bit()/clear_bit() couple.
* I did not split the driver as I think it is too much work for me
right now.

Changes in v4:
* Fix wrong comment about register value.
* Rewrite ->set_state() to make it more readable, include the fact
that the phase may blink and to limit the number of blink changes
when possible ("lazy switching" as discussed with Uwe).
* Prevent using managed memory when not relevant.
* Add a definition to the master intensity shift.
* Rename all struct pwm_device to pwm and all struct pwm_chip as
chip. Then, struct pca953x_chip are called pca_chip instead of chip
and struct max7313_pwm are called max_pwm intead of pwm.
* Enhance the comment about glitch-free hardware.
* Add a plain error check at the ->pwm_probe() return location.
* Rename duty_cycle to intensity when relevant.
* Do not initialize the PWM in ->request(). Also do not change the
state in ->free().
* New way to count enabled/disabled PWM (with a bitmap). Disable the
oscillator only when 0 PWM are in use, enable it when there is
one. Also always set the pin to output state otherwise the default
might be input.
* Force state->enable to be true and drop all the boilerplate around
enable and .duty_cycle.

Changes in v3:
* Added two error messages in ->request().
* Protected the PWM count agains races with an additional mutex.
* Dropped an useless check on the period value in ->apply().
* Forced the .period to be constant.
* Checked state->polarity when needed.
* Used DIV_ROUND_DOWN_ULL for computing the duty_cycle.
* Implemented ->get_state().
* Added a comment to explain that the GPIO functionality is not harmed
by the global intensity setting.

Changes in v2:
* Removed the hardcoding of PWM_CHANNELS, changed the code to use the
number of GPIO lines which is programatically known.
* Used per pwm_device chip data to store the GPIO descriptors instead
of having a static array of GPIO descriptors in the private PWM
structure. It also enhanced the readability.
* Rename an offset variable: s/off/shift/.
* The default PWM state is now static low instead of input.
* Used the GPIO as regular consumer thanks to the stored GPIO
descriptors to "make it more idiomatic" (requested by Thierry).
* Used gpiochip_request_own_desc() instead of
gpio_to_desc()/gpiod_request(). This prevented the build issue and
an additional dependency that would have requested a DEPENDS ON line
in Kconfig.
* Enhanced the return line of max7313_pwm_probe().

Besides the messing with parameter types (int vs. bool) it should be
rebased on top of Bartosz's tree.

Also, it might be that we can instantiate a kind of device (MFD?) that
will share same regmap between two and have naturally different
drivers for GPIO and PWM.

Side note: I still think this should be a function of the pin when
driver will be converted to pin control. Now this change delays the
conversion and better approach. But as I said before, if GPIO
maintainers consider this good enough to go like this, I won't object.

Some background. It's known that some pin control devices may have PWM
function (limited, like blinking led or so, or full) and it would be
nice to have a pin mux option which enables PWM on a requested pin. Or
PWM tries to enable proper pin muxing (this sounds even better in
order of sharing same API from pin control, like "pin is available for
GPIO").

There is one thing I see as a pre-condition to the abstraction of
pin-controller + GPIO + PWM: If I configure the PWM with certain
parameters while the pin is still configured as GPIO there must be no
visible effect on the pin. The setting must then be active when the pin
is changed to PWM mode. (And vice versa: The GPIO setting must not
influence the PWM output ...) I didn't check the hardware manual (or the
patch), but if this needs caching of pwm and gpio parameters I would
take that as a strong hint that the abstraction is wrong.

Best regards
Uwe

Can I have a status on this patch please?

If it was forgotten, I would be good to have it queued now, otherwise,
may I know the reason?

Thanks!

TWIMC, just my 2 cents about this patch.
I don't like it in this form. On the constructive side I can propose
at least two ways to solve:
a) introduce a PWM as a pin mode; move pca953x to pin control; use
this mode with PWM driver being separated from the pin control;
b) introduce an MFD that provides two parts for this GPIO & PWM.

Personally I would go with a) as I know at least one more pin
controller which will get an advantage of this (and it's definitely
not an MFD).

If GPIO / pin control maintainers consider this okay, I will rest my
case, but see above...

You could reply to my feedback ... If you could say there: "What you
want isn't possible" I'd count this as a strong indication to not ask to
implement Andy's suggestion. (Even if this would be possible, I'm not
sure this is a good idea, but still ...)

Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I already replied twice to Andy
about this. Once in October, again in November, then I gave a shot to
the idea of splitting the drivers (GPIO vs. PWM) in January. So I
thought you were sharing your thoughts out loud but was not expecting
any specific feedback on it.

So, no, even if the idea might make sense, it is not doable in a
reasonable amount of time. I am not saying it is impossible, but someone
has to think about it deeper and propose a core structure to handle it
in a generic and clean way so that other drivers sharing the same
properties can rely on it. I am not qualified enough to do it the proper
way in a reasonable time frame.

Thanks,

Ah ok. Probably the discussion took too long already and was swapped out
on my end.

I will take a look once more later this week. One thing I noticed while
skimming the patch was, that the added defines could make use of a nice
prefix. MAX_PWM for example sounds quite generic.

Uwe

Hi Miquèl,

I can't find anything in any of the previous threads. What was the
reason to not go the MFD way here?

MFD doesn't work because the different "modes" are not orthogonal. So
this is not a single device that provides several functions at the same
time that can be used in parallel.

Did I get this correctly that it's either *all* pins are GPIO or *all* are PWM?

Otherwise, it fits from my point of view.

Sorry for not being clear in the first place : the choice between
pure GPIO and PWM is on a per output basis. As Uwe said, the two
"modes" are not orthogonal hence the MFD does not fit here IMHO.

I would find

shift = (idx % PWM_PER_REG) * PWM_BITS_PER_REG

more natural here as your formula only works for PWM_PER_REG = 2.

Would it make sense to cache the phase value to reduce register access

You could simulate state->enabled = false using duty_cycle = 0.

This might return a value > 16 if state->duty_cycle > PWM_PERIOD_NS.
I suggest to do

duty_cycle = min(state->duty_cycle, PWM_PERIOD_NS);

and use that value instead of state->duty_cycle.

Please round up the division in max7313_pwm_intensity_to_duty().

(The reasoning is: with rounding down the following can happen:

/* this configures for 15/16 */
pwm_apply_state(pwm, { .duty_cycle = 31249, .period = 31250 });

/* assume this called your .get_state callback */
pwm_get_state(pwm, &state);

/*
* we now have
* state.duty_cycle = 29296;
* state.period = 31250;
* right?
*/

/* this configures for 14/16 because 29296 * 16 / 31250 < 15 */
pwm_apply_state(pwm, &state);

But I want this to be idempotent, i.e. pwm_get_state has to round up and
then return .duty_cycle = 29297 in the above example which is enough to
let .apply_state() configure 15/16 again. Enabling PWM_DEBUG should
catch this.)

%pe is mainly for error pointers, with plain integers it will look

Yeah, the right usage is:

dev_err(dev, "Cannot retrieve PWM intensity (%pe)\n", ERR_PTR(ret));

I suppose it could be done and would certainly reduce register access a
little bit but it means refactoring quite some code and as I'm not near
the board to actually test these changes right now I fear to do
something wrong. Instead, I'd prefer not to touch that part, and let
users that would need this enhancement do it themselves if you don't
mind.

Absolutely!

Done.

Fixed.

I understand the use case, done as well.

I will respin a compile tested version rebased on top of current master
(which includes Linus-W GPIO-5.9-1 merge request).

Thanks,
