The laptop contains an embedded controller that provides a set of
features:
- Battery and charger monitoring
- USB Type-C DP alt mode HPD monitoring
- Lid status detection
- Small amount of keyboard configuration*
[*] The keyboard is handled by the same EC but it has a dedicated i2c
bus and is already enabled. This port only provides fn key behavior
configuration.
Unfortunately, while all this functionality is implemented in ACPI, it's
currently not possible to use ACPI to boot Linux on such Qualcomm
devices. Thus this series implements and enables a new driver that
provides support for the EC features.
The EC would be one of the last pieces to get almost full support for the
Acer Aspire 1 laptop in the upstream Linux kernel.
This series is similar to the EC driver for Lenovo Yoga C630, proposed
in [1] but seemingly never followed up...

Changes in v3:
- Supress warning on few no-op events.
- Invert the fn key behavior (Rob, Conor)
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
Changes in v2:
- Drop incorrectly allowed reg in the ec connector binding (Krzysztof)
- Minor style changes (Konrad)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Acer Aspire 1 is a Snapdragon 7c based laptop. It uses an embedded
controller to control the charging and battery management, as well as to
perform a set of misc functions.
Unfortunately, while all this functionality is implemented in ACPI, it's
currently not possible to use ACPI to boot Linux on such Qualcomm
devices. To allow Linux to still support the features provided by EC,
this driver reimplments the relevant ACPI parts. This allows us to boot
the laptop with Device Tree and retain all the features.

2.43.0
The laptop contains an embedded controller that provides a set of
features:
- Battery and charger monitoring
- USB Type-C DP alt mode HPD monitoring
- Lid status detection
- Small amount of keyboard configuration*
[*] The keyboard is handled by the same EC but it has a dedicated i2c
bus and is already enabled. This port only provides fn key behavior
configuration.
Add the EC to the device tree and describe the relationship between the
EC-managed type-c port and the SoC DisplayPort.

We both had some comments on this property, and Nikita tried to follow
up on yours (which was much more substantive than mine) but got no
response:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
Reading what you said, I'm not entirely sure what you were looking for,
my guess is that you were wanted something controllable from userspace,
but I'm not sure how you figured that should work where the firmware
alone is able to control this.
Cheers,
Conor.

I replied there, but what I want is whatever the solution is to work on
any laptop, not just this Acer device.

Hm, I initially submitted it to power/supply following the c630 driver,
but I think you're right... Though I'm not sure where in platform/ I'd
put this driver... (+CC Hans)
Seems like most of the things live in platform/x86 but there is no i.e.
platform/arm64...
Hans, (as a maintainer for most things in platform/) what do you think
would be the best place to put this (and at least two more I'd expect)
driver in inside platform/? And can we handle it through the
platform-driver-x86 list?

Oh, you're right! I think I initially didn't have this property and
added it like this as a reaction to that upower change that made it
consider everything not explicitly present as absent.
I've just checked what is reported after unplugging the battery and
seems like the flag (as well as everything else) is gone. Will change
the driver to read the flag.
Thanks for your review!

But you only register a power-supply device for the battery and not
for the AC adapter/charger. When you write "and AC status support" I
would have expected something similar to this (that's from ACPI AC
adapter driver):
$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/AC/uevent
POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=AC
POWER_SUPPLY_TYPE=Mains
POWER_SUPPLY_ONLINE=1

Ah, I see... Yeah looking at it one more time, I mistakenly assumed the
acpi ac code uses the same data fields as the battery but seems like it
reads the single online flag from a different place. I don't think there
is really a point on implementing that field since we can still easily
track the battery charging/discharging status so I will probably omit it
for now. Will reword the help text to not mention charger/ac adapter.
Thanks for clarifying!

If you have the information easily available, it's a good plan to
expose it.
Without a charger reporting online status at least the kernel's
power_supply_is_system_supplied() will return false (which is e.g.
used by AMD GPU driver to select power profile).
Generic userspace (i.e. upower) probably behaves similar, since
battery status is not the same as AC connceted. A system might
not charge the battery but still run from AC itself.

I guess that adding a drivers/platform/aarch64 map for this makes
sense, with some comments in the Makefile and in the Kconfig
help explaining that this is for PC/laptop style EC drivers,
which combine multiple logical functions in one, only!
Assuming that we are only going to use this for such EC drivers,
using the platform-driver-x86 mailinglist for this makes sense
since that is where are the people are with knowledge of e.g.
userspace APIs for various typical EC functionalities.
It might even make sense to also use:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git
As git tree for this and send pull-reqs to Linus for this
together with the other pdx86 for the same reasons.
I would be open to that as long as this is strictly limited to
EC (like) drivers.
Ilpo, what do you think about this ?

Hans

Yes, I believe the EC are the only "boad-specific" drivers we need for
the Windows-on-Arm devices as of today. I expect at least two more EC
drivers to be added later.
Then I will re-target this series to platform-driver-x86:
- Will add a new drivers/platform/aarch64/ dir with a Makefile and Kconfig
that would explicitly note it's only for EC-like drivers. Will update
the "X86 PLATFORM DRIVERS" entry in MAINTAINERS. (Or should I add a new
entry?)
- Will add this driver there, also updating per the last Sebastian's
comments.
- Will also move the dt binding to a new bindings/platform/ dir.
Thanks!

Please add a new entry (you can simply copy most of the "X86 PLATFORM DRIVERS"
entry), putting this under the "X86 PLATFORM DRIVERS" entry feels weird.

This sounds good.

Please consult with the DT binding maintainers about this bit.
