The binding expects the first register space to be VDEC_SYS. But on
mt8183, which uses the stateless decoders, this space is used only for
controlling clocks and resets, which are better described as separate
clock-controller and reset-controller nodes.
In fact, in mt8173's devicetree there are already such separate
clock-controller nodes, which cause duplicate addresses between the
vdecsys node and the vcodec node. But for this SoC, since the stateful
decoder code makes other uses of the VDEC_SYS register space, it's not
straightforward to remove it.
In order to avoid the same address conflict to happen on mt8183,
since the only current use of the VDEC_SYS register space in
the driver is to read the status of a hardware controlled clock, remove
the VDEC_SYS register space from the binding and describe an extra
syscon that will be used to directly check the hardware status.
Also add reg-names to be able to tell that this new register schema is
used, so the driver can keep backward compatibility.

I dropped the tags from this commit since a syscon is now used instead
of an extra clock.
Changes in v3:
- Removed the active clock
- Added a mediatek,vdecsys syscon property
Changes in v2:
- Merged with patch 1 (media: dt-bindings: mediatek,vcodec: Allow single
clock for mt8183) to avoid changing number of clocks twice
- Added maxItems to reg-names
- Constrained clocks for each compatible
- Reordered properties for each compatible

What about reg-names here? They should be also defined and in sync with
regs.

That's intentional. As described in the commit message, mt8173 will keep having
the VDEC_SYS iospace, while mt8183 won't. And we use the presence of reg-names
to tell them apart.
So, mt8173 has 12 regs, no reg-names and no syscon, while mt8183 has 11 regs,
with reg-names and the syscon.
Thanks,
N?colas

reg-names is not the way to tell apart variants. Compatible is. If you
add reg-names for one variant, it's expected to have it defined for
other as well, because the order of items in reg is always fixed.

But differentiating with compatible in this case would be wrong, since it's not
not something inherent to the SoC. We really just want to be able to tell
whether the vdecsys iospace is supplied as a reg or as a syscon.
This series focuses on getting the mt8183 decoder working, and as part of that
introduces the binding and DT node for mt8183 with vdecsys as a syscon instead
of a reg, to avoid introducing new 'duplicate unit-address' DT warnings.
But in a separate series we could drop vdecsys from mt8173's reg as well,
passing it as a syscon instead, which would solve the warning on that platform,
though some more driver changes would be needed to be able to handle it for that
SoC. The newer SoCs like mt8192, mt8195, etc, should also get vdecsys dropped
from their regs to have a correct memory description.

Wait, you should not have one device or even family of devices taking
their IO space with two different methods. It's exactly the same device,
the same bus.

I got patches 1, 2, 3 and 6, nothing more so I cannot comment on what
else you are trying to do here. Since you did not cc me, it's not relevant.
Your DTS change does nothing like switching from MMIO to syscon.
But anyway this variant comes with some set of regs and reg-names. Other
variant comes with different set. In all cases they should be defined,
even by "defined" means not allowed.

Sure, but I don't understand how does it affect defining and making
specific regs/reg-names or keeping them loose.

The VDEC_SYS IO space is arguably not part of the vcodec IO space, since it is
declared by a different node. Hence we shouldn't be getting it through reg, but
instead through a syscon, to avoid clashing addresses.
In other words, the VDEC_SYS IO space shouldn't have been in the binding as a
'reg' in the first place. And since we want to:
1. Keep backward compatibility
2. Fix the 'duplicate unit-address' DT warning
We will need to support both ways - reg or syscon - of passing the VDEC_SYS IO
space moving forward.

That's ok, the driver changes aren't relevant to this discussion.

The original downstream DT node used MMIO for VDEC_SYS, but I've adapted that
commit to use a syscon. So the commit is implicitly doing the switch, it just
doesn't show because the node wasn't upstreamed before on mt8183.

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you suggesting to disable reg-names on mt8173?

We need some way to tell in the driver whether the first reg is VDEC_SYS or not.
Since so far reg-names have not been used for the vcodec, the simplest, and
cleanest, way to do it, is to add reg-names when VDEC_SYS is not present. When
the other SoCs are updated to no longer have the first reg as VDEC_SYS, they
would also have reg-names added to their binding, to clearly indicate that.
For example, for mt8173 we currently have
vcodec_dec: vcodec@16000000 {
compatible = "mediatek,mt8173-vcodec-dec";
reg = <0 0x16000000 0 0x100>, /* VDEC_SYS */
<0 0x16020000 0 0x1000>, /* VDEC_MISC */
<0 0x16021000 0 0x800>, /* VDEC_LD */
<0 0x16021800 0 0x800>, /* VDEC_TOP */
<0 0x16022000 0 0x1000>, /* VDEC_CM */
<0 0x16023000 0 0x1000>, /* VDEC_AD */
<0 0x16024000 0 0x1000>, /* VDEC_AV */
<0 0x16025000 0 0x1000>, /* VDEC_PP */
<0 0x16026800 0 0x800>, /* VDEC_HWD */
<0 0x16027000 0 0x800>, /* VDEC_HWQ */
<0 0x16027800 0 0x800>, /* VDEC_HWB */
<0 0x16028400 0 0x400>; /* VDEC_HWG */
In a future series, when removing VDEC_SYS from it, it would become
vcodec_dec: vcodec@16020000 {
compatible = "mediatek,mt8173-vcodec-dec";
reg = <0 0x16020000 0 0x1000>, /* VDEC_MISC */
<0 0x16021000 0 0x800>, /* VDEC_LD */
<0 0x16021800 0 0x800>, /* VDEC_TOP */
<0 0x16022000 0 0x1000>, /* VDEC_CM */
<0 0x16023000 0 0x1000>, /* VDEC_AD */
<0 0x16024000 0 0x1000>, /* VDEC_AV */
<0 0x16025000 0 0x1000>, /* VDEC_PP */
<0 0x16026800 0 0x800>, /* VDEC_HWD */
<0 0x16027000 0 0x800>, /* VDEC_HWQ */
<0 0x16027800 0 0x800>, /* VDEC_HWB */
<0 0x16028400 0 0x400>; /* VDEC_HWG */
reg-names = "misc", "ld", "top", "cm", "ad", "av", "pp",
"hwd", "hwq", "hwb", "hwg";
mediatek,vdecsys = <&vdecsys>;

That's one of the options if for some reason you don't want to define them.

Don't use reg-names for that. The order of entries is anyway strict.

So you want to use reg-names to avoid ABI break. This is not the reason
not to define reg-names for other case.

Since the order of entries is strict, if I remove VDEC_SYS from mt8183, I also
need to remove it from mt8173, is that what you mean? I would still check for
the presence of reg-names in the driver to differentiate whether the old or new
binding is used, you just don't want different reg-names between compatibles in
the binding?

There will be an ABI break anyway when the first reg is removed (as shown
above), I'm just trying to avoid churn: adding a reg-name that will be removed
later.

It's different compatible, so it can have different entries.

I wrote already what I want:
In all cases they should be defined, even by "defined" means not allowed.
Now of course the best would be if the reg-names are always the same, at
least in respect of order of items. This is what we try to do for all
devices.
