Subject: [PATCH v1] i2c: tegra: Fix i2c_writesl() to use writel() instead of writesl()

VI I2C don't have DMA support and uses PIO mode all the time.

Current driver uses writesl() to fill TX FIFO based on available
empty slots and with this seeing strange silent hang during any I2C
register access after filling TX FIFO with 8 words.

Using writel() followed by i2c_readl() in a loop to write all words
to TX FIFO instead of using writesl() helps for large transfers in
PIO mode.

So, this patch updates i2c_writesl() API to use writel() in a loop
instead of writesl().

I've thought a bit more about this and I wonder if we're simply reading
out the wrong value for tx_fifo_avail and therefore end up overflowing
the TX FIFO. Have you checked what the value is for tx_fifo_avail when
this silent hang occurs? Given that this is specific to the VI I2C I'm
wondering if this is perhaps a hardware bug where we read the wrong TX
FIFO available count.

To be clear, TX slots availability in FIFO status before filling shows 8
words empty.

With writesl() when silent hang is seen, couldn't access any registers
and with debug messages I see silent hang happens immediate during
accessing any of i2c controller register after writesl() call

Yes FIFO status shows all 8 slots available.

Also, HW wise VI I2C is similar to other I2C and FIFO depth is also 8
words. Confirmed from HW designers as well.

Using writesl() causes silent hang after filling some words in FIFO and
most of time after filling 8 words and sometime after filling it with
around 6 words.

I am not sure if this issue is specific to VI I2C alone as other I2C
mostly use DMA for more than 8 words and I am not sure if we ever used
other I2C in PIO mode for ~8 words transfer for slave devices we have on
the platform.

Hi Wolfram,

after discussing a bit more with Sowjanya, I don't think we're going to
have a better solution than this. It should be fairly harmless to have
this additional flushing read of the interrupt status register because
the reads don't have any side-effects (the register is write-1-to-clear)
and these write loops don't happen very often (or when they do we tend
to use DMA anyway), so:

Acked-by: Thierry Reding <[email protected]>

I did notice that for some reason Sowjanya hadn't listed you as a
recipient, so perhaps you don't have this anywhere in your inbox. I've
quoted the patch fully for reference below and the patchwork link for
this is:

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-i2c/patch/[email protected]/

If you'd prefer to have this in your inbox for proper review, please
let us know so that Sowjanya can resend this.

Thanks,
Thierry

Please explain how you checked that 8 slots are available, provide

Have you checked the FIFO overflow interrupt?

This is seen with VI I2C (which is under host1x) as we use PIO mode
always even for large transfers.
HW wise VI I2C is similar to other I2C and FIFO depth is also 8 words.

tegra_i2c_fill_tx_fifo() reads I2C_FIFO_STATUS register field
TX_FIFO_EMPTY_CNT which tells empty slots available in TX_FIFO that can
be filled.
Added debug message to print empty count and, during beginning of
transfer when it executes tegra_i2c_fill_tx_fifo(), empty slots are 8


Using writesl() for filling TX_FIFO causing silent hang immediate on any
i2c register access after filling FIFO with 8 words and some times with
6 words as well.

So couldn't INTERRUPT_STATUS registers to check for TX FIFO Overflows
when this silent hang happens.

Tried to read thru back-door (JTAG path) but could not connect to JTAG
either. Looks like Tegra chip is in some weird state.

But using writel() followed by i2c_readl helps. Not sure if any thing
related to register access delay or some other issue.

Does downstream kernel have this problem?

If there is really no good alternative right now, then perhaps should be
a bit cleaner to add i2c_writesl_vi(), which should contain explanatory
comment telling why it's needed and then it should be used only for the
VI I2C controller.

Yes downstream also has same issue when using writesl() and downstream
vi i2c driver uses writel() followed by i2c_readl()

OK. Will create separate i2c_writesl_vi() to use with vi i2c and will
add comment in the code.

How much does the i2c_read() slow down the transfer?
If the device is PCIe it is probably significant.

If the underlying problem is that the Tegra chip can't handle
back to back writes to the tx fifo maybe there are other solutions!
1) Send it back and ask for a working chip :-)
2) Maybe an interleaved write will slow things down enough?

It may be worth testing back to back writes to other registers
to see if it is a problem that is specific to the tx fifo.

This is a known hardware bug with VI I2C controller which is under
host1x where immediate multiple writes to TX FIFO register gets stuck
and reading from a register allows them to be flushed out.

VI I2C is dedicated for camera sensors or HDMI2CSI bridge.
