I think we should see Simon's comments before we move forward. The proposal I made before should come in a series, not just documentation.
This thread is too long :-)
Yes, too long discussion :)
From what I understand, Marek and Bin are discussing whether a compatible string is needed to bind a driver.
Generally it is. But with PCI and USB we have a search mechanism which can be used instead.
The patch Marek submitted does not seems at all desirable to me.
Can you explain why ?
We already have a compatible string as the standard way to attach drivers to devices.
For PCI, we already have PCI_DEVICE() and friends for when we can attach a driver for a PCI device without using a compatible string.
Both of these are defined in the DT specification.
The patch seems to be a rework of PCI_DEVICE() and I cannot why it is necessary.
I would like to see what Bin proposes.
Me too, so far I only see "not Marek's patch" and no real alternative.
Bin, do you have a patch you can share?
No, I don't have any patch series for now, although I offered to work on a series to implement my proposal. I haven't started it as I wanted to hear your thoughts. The proposal I made is to satisfy the requirement that Marek insisted on. Basically Marek thought current DM PCI implementation is wrong to ask for a "compatible" string of a PCI device in the device tree, because he thought adding "compatible" to DT is invalid and Linux does not do that either. While I disagree we have to 100% follow Linux's implementation, I am still open for any possible design changes, if that's the preferable practice in U-Boot (but we have to make it clear and document this officially somewhere).
The proposal I made is:
- Keep pci-uclass driver's post_bind() and child_post_bind() only for
Sandbox configuration
- Keep the call to pci_bus_find_devfn() in pci_bind_bus_devices() only
for Sandbox configuration
- Sandbox is special. We should limit the mechanism of matching PCI
emulation device via "compatible" to sandbox only
The above three points can be done separately and I don't care about this too much.
That's my concern. Only doing this created confusing and incomplete design. Yes, you probably don't care about this. But I care about this as it impacts some other things like PCI uart driver which is used by some x86 boards.
- Assign the DT node to the bound device in pci_find_and_bind_driver()
if there is a valid PCI "reg" encoding for a specific PCI device in the device tree
This is what this patch does. And in fact, I have real hardware which needs this patch to be useful and on which I can test if this works.
You can do this in your own fork. Nothing prevents you from doing that.
- Create DM PCI test case against the DT node assignment
- Remove all compatible string in U-Boot's PCI device drivers: eg:
ehci_pci_ids[], xhci_pci_ids[], etc. IOW, all PCI device drivers should only use U_BOOT_PCI_DEVICE(), aka the original U-Boot option 2
- Fork a "pci-ns16550" driver to support U_BOOT_PCI_DEVICE(), as
currently PCI ns16550 device driver uses "compatible" string to do the matching, and update crownbay.dts and galileo.dts (so far I only know two boards are using PCI ns16550 serial port)
- Make sure all DM PCI test cases are not broken
- Document all of the above changes in doc/driver-model/pci-info.txt
I think you're just adding completely orthogonal stuff to this 5-liner patch into the list and overly complicate the situation. Sure, if you want to do all this, go ahead, but I don't see how this prevents this particular patch from being applied , except maybe for the documentation tweak.
Please, think from the maintainer perspective. It's nothing related to number of LOCs. It's that we need create a clean design. You probably don't want someone just submits a single patch that changed current USB design without a full consideration on all possible impacts.
