[PATCH] soundwire: debugfs: use controller id instead of link_id
link_id can be zero and if we have multiple controller instances in a system like Qualcomm debugfs will end-up with duplicate namespace resulting in incorrect debugfs entries.
Using id should give a unique debugfs directory entry and should fix below warning too. "debugfs: Directory 'master-0' with parent 'soundwire' already present!"

Yeah id is guaranteed to be unique so this will work.
Applied, thanks

This patch is a no-op for Intel, but I am not convinced it's the right fix or the definitions are not consistent.
* @link_id: Link id number, can be 0 to N, unique for each Master * @id: bus system-wide unique id
In the MIPI/DisCo definitions, a controller can have multiple masters. if you have multiple controllers, each of them should have their own debugfs directory IMHO. It's totally fine to have multiple bus/masters with a link_id == 0.

It depends if the intention is to represent full Hierarchy in debugfs, then I agree. Its was consistent even before!
currently we have /sys/kernel/debug/soundwire/master-*
Are you suggesting that we have something like this:
/sys/kernel/debug/soundwire/xyz-controller/master-<LINK-ID> ?? /sys/kernel/debug/soundwire/xyz-controller/master-<LINK-ID>/xyz-slave/master-<LINK-ID> ??
Or may be something much simpler like:
/sys/kernel/debug/soundwire/master-<ID>.<LINK_ID>

Indeed, we don't currently have a notion of controller in debugfs.
currently we have /sys/kernel/debug/soundwire/master-*
Are you suggesting that we have something like this:
/sys/kernel/debug/soundwire/xyz-controller/master-<LINK-ID> ??
Yes this is what I was thinking about.
/sys/kernel/debug/soundwire/xyz-controller/master-<LINK-ID>/xyz-slave/master-<LINK-ID> ??
This would be for a bridge which to the best of my knowledge hasn't been implemented by anyone (clocking and command/control timing issues).
Or may be something much simpler like:
/sys/kernel/debug/soundwire/master-<ID>.<LINK_ID>
the bus->id is an IDA, which is useful for to avoid conflicts, but it's not really meaningful for debugfs. I remember seeing a case where we had links 2 and 4 enabled, and the bus->id were 0 and 1, a completely artificial value that doesn't really help in debugging.

Vinod/Pierre,
One Question here,
Why is link_id part of "struct sdw_bus", should it not be part of "struct sdw_master_device " ?
Given that "There is one Link per each Master"

Given that "There is one Link per each Master"
it's true that link == master == bus at the concept level.
but we have an existing code base with different structures and we can't break too many things at once.
In the existing flow, the 'bus' is created and setup first, the sdw_bus_master_add() routine takes a 'bus' argument, and the link_id is already set. This routine only creates a device and in the rest of the code we keep using the 'bus' pointer, so there's no real short-term scope for moving the information into the 'sdw_master_device' structure - that would be a lot of surgery when nothing is really broken.

I totally agree!
If I understand it correctly in Intel case there will be only one Link ID per bus.
Does this change look good to you?

dev_name(bus->dev) does not describe a controller at all but an individual master.
We might as well just change the information as:
snprintf(name, sizeof(name), "master-%d-%d", bus_id, bus->link_id);
you get the system unique ID and controller-relative ID, and you can decide to ignore one or the other on different platform.

We have cases where link2 is not used but link0, 1 and 3 are. Using the IDA would result in master-0,1,2 being shown, that would throw the integrator off. the link_id is related to hardware and can tolerate gaps, the IDA is typically always increasing and is across the system, not controller specific.
We can debate forever but both pieces of information are useful, so my recommendation is to use both:
snprintf(name, sizeof(name), "master-%d-%d", bus_id, bus->link_id);

I agree we should use both, but does it really make sense for naming? We can keep name in ida and expose the link_id as a parameter for integrators to see in sysfs.
Also, even in intel case you would run into issue if you have two independent controllers, am not sure if we ever get to see that, but I think link_id is unique for a controller and not across system, right?
Thanks

That would mean changing the meaning of sysfs properties:

N is the link ID in the spec. I am not convinced we'd do the community a service by unilaterally changing what an external spec means, or add a property that's kernel-defined while the rest is supposed to come from firmware. If you want to change the spec then you can contribute feedback in MIPI circles (MIPI have a mechanism for maintainers to provide such feedback without company/employer membership requirements)
So either we add a sysfs layer that represents a controller (better in my opinion so that we can show the link/master count), or keep the existing hierarchy but expand the name with a unique ID so that Qualcomm don't get errors with duplicate sysfs link0 entries.
