Re: [alsa-devel] [PATCH 09/16] pinctrl: madera: Add driver for Cirrus Logic Madera codecs

On Wed, Apr 5, 2017 at 12:07 PM, Richard Fitzgerald rf@opensource.wolfsonmicro.com wrote:

These codecs have a variable number of I/O lines each of which is individually selectable to a wide range of possible functions.

The functionality is slightly different from the traditional muxed GPIO since most of the functions can be mapped to any pin (and even the same function to multiple pins). Most pins have a dedicated "alternate" function that is only available on that pin. The alternate functions are usually a group of signals, though it is not always necessary to enable the full group, depending on the alternate function and how it is to be used. The mapping between alternate functions and GPIO pins varies between codecs depending on the number of alternate functions and available pins.

This should ideally be split into its own patch but I don't care much if the DT people are happy.

+See also

• the core bindings for the parent MFD driver:
• Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/madera.txt
• the generic pinmix bindings:
• Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/pinctrl-bindings.txt

Nice.

+Required properties of parent mfd node:

• • pinctrl-names : must be "defaults"

Do you mean "default"

Apart from this the bindings and example look very good to me, good job! I like it when people "just get it" with pin control and that is where we need to be with this subsystem.

+config PINCTRL_MADERA

•   bool
  

•   default y if MFD_MADERA=y
  

Isn't it even proper for MFD_MADERA to explicitly select this driver. I see it hard how the chip would even work without this. (Maybe it already does select it but then default y is not necessary.)

+config PINCTRL_CS47L35

•   bool
  

•   default y if MFD_CS47L35=y
  

Similar comment for the subdrivers.

Is it all in one file... despite all the Kconfig symbols... hm. I guess we can create drivers/pinctrl/cirrus the day we need more space.

So don't they have real names? Like the pin name on the underside of the chip? That is what this naming convention is actually for.

If they are called "gpioN" in the datasheet I guess it is all right. That is how e.g. the Qualcomm driver is done.

+#ifdef CONFIG_PINCTRL_CS47L85

So this makes me feel maybe we should create drivers/pinctrl/cirrus and split this driver into subdrivers per chip like others do.

The coding style document does say that ifdefs are ugly.

Would you consider splitting it up?

+static void madera_pin_dbg_show(struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev,

•                           struct seq_file *s,
  

•                           unsigned int offset)
  

+{

•   seq_puts(s, " madera-pinctrl");
  

+}

I don't think the pinctrl debugfs callback is compulsory. It would be nice if this added some actual useful information about the pin.

•           case PIN_CONFIG_DRIVE_OPEN_DRAIN:
  

•                   mask[0] |= MADERA_GP1_OP_CFG_MASK;
  

•                   conf[0] |= MADERA_GP1_OP_CFG;
  

•                   break;
  

•           case PIN_CONFIG_DRIVE_PUSH_PULL:
  

•                   mask[0] |= MADERA_GP1_OP_CFG_MASK;
  

•                   conf[0] &= ~MADERA_GP1_OP_CFG;
  

•                   break;
  

This will be possible to reuse from a GPIO driver as back-end, nice!

•           case PIN_CONFIG_INPUT_DEBOUNCE:
  

•                   mask[0] |= MADERA_GP1_DB_MASK;
  

•                   /*
  

•                    * we can't configure debounce time per-pin so value
  

•                    * is just a flag
  

•                    */
  

•                   val = pinconf_to_config_argument(*configs);
  

•                   if (val)
  

•                           conf[0] |= MADERA_GP1_DB;
  

•                   else
  

•                           conf[0] &= ~MADERA_GP1_DB;
  

•                   break;
  

This too.

Overall it looks very nice.
