Yes Controller has ACPI scope. Under controller based on "mipi-sdw-manager-list" property manager instances will be created. Manager and Link terms are interchangeable.
Below is the sample DSDT file if we go with two ACPI companion devices.
Scope (_SB.ACP) {
Device (SWC0) { Name (_ADR, 0x05) // _ADR: Address Name(_DSD, Package() { ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), Package () { Package (2) {"mipi-sdw-sw-interface-revision", 0x00010000}, Package (2) {"mipi-sdw-manager-list", 1}, // v 1.0 }, ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"), // Hierarchical Extension Package () { Package (2) {"mipi-sdw-link-0-subproperties", "SWM0"}, } }) // End _DSD Name(SWM0, Package() { ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), Package () { Package (2) {"mipi-sdw-sw-interface-revision", 0x00010000}, // ... place holder for SWM0 additional properties } }) // End SWM0.SWM
Device (SLV0) { // SoundWire Slave 0 Name(_ADR, 0x000032025D131601) } // END SLV0
} // END SWC0
Device (SWC1) { Name (_ADR, 0x09) // _ADR: Address Name(_DSD, Package() { ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), Package () { Package (2) {"mipi-sdw-sw-interface-revision", 0x00010000}, Package (2) {"mipi-sdw-manager-list", 1}, }, ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"), Package () { Package (2) {"mipi-sdw-link-0-subproperties", "SWM0"}, } }) // End _DSD Name(SWM0, Package() { ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), Package () { Package (2) {"mipi-sdw-sw-interface-revision", 0x00010000}, // ... place holder for SWM0 additional properties } }) // End SWM0.SWM
Device (SLV0) { // SoundWire Slave 0 Name(_ADR, 0x000032025D131601) } // END SLV0
} // END SWC1 } }
that looks good to me.
In above case, two manager instances will be created. When manager under SWC1 scope tries to add peripheral device, In sdw_slave_add() API its failing because peripheral device descriptor uses link id followed by 48bit encoded address. In above scenarios, both the manager's link id is zero only.
what fails exactly? The device_register() ?
If yes, what the issue. the device name?
I wonder if we need to use something like
"name shall be sdw:bus_id:link:mfg:part:class"
so as to uniquify the device name, if that was the problem.
