[U-Boot] soft-i2c and i2c-gpio issues with at91

Hi all, I am trying to get a bitbanged i2c port working with u-boot on an Atmel SAMA5D3 platform. I have added DT bindings to support the I2C drivers however when I try to select the bus on the u-boot command line I consistently get an error in gpio-uclass:
_gpio_request_by_name_nodev: uclass_get_device_by_of_offset failed
_gpio_request_by_name_nodev: Node 'soft-i2c@1', property 'gpios', failed to request GPIO index 0: -19
Each driver always fails at the get_dev_by_offset routine.
I suspect some issue with the way the GPIO is defined or is not setup correctly. Has anyone seen this or have any advice on where to look?
This is the relevant part of the device tree:
aliases {
i2c0 = "/soft-i2c@1";
};
soft-i2c@1 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
/* compatible = "soft-i2c"; */
compatible = "i2c-gpio";
/* clock-frequency = <100000>; */
/* pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_soft_i2c>; */
/* Define the proper GPIO pins */
/*
clock-pin = <&pioA 31 0>;
data-pin = <&pioA 30 0>; */
gpios = <&pioA 30 0 /* SDA */
&pioA 31 0>; /* SCL */
i2c-gpio,sda-open-drain;
i2c-gpio,scl-open-drain;
i2c-gpio,delay-us =<3>;
};
};
Thanks, Matt.

Can you post the output of 'dm tree' and 'dm uclass'? I wonder if your GPIO driver is not connected up properly?
Are you using i2c-gpio.c? That driver should work as is on any platform with only device tree additions.
Regards, Simon

Hi Simon, yes I currently have i2c-gpio enabled. Below is the output of both commands. Looks like the GPIO driver is not setup as you suspected. However I'm confused on what specifically is needed to enable it. Are you talking about a DT entry? In looking at other DTS files I did not see anything in particular that called out GPIO. Can you point me to what I'm missing?
Thanks, Matt.

Looking at the kernel device tree files it looks like the GPIO node is hidden inside ahb/apb/pinctrl. Since they are all compatible with 'simple-bus' it should still work.
But you will need to create an of_match entry in at91_gpio.c. See s5p_gpio.c for an example. You should add the compatible ID referenced in the pioA node of your device tree.
Then you should see GPIO nodes in your driver model tree. Without these i2c cannot use GPIO.

Thank you Simon. Getting there, but now I get a data abort and system reset when trying to set the i2c bus. I need to chase this down, but if you have any suggestions I'd appreciate it.
Below is the output of dm tree and dm uclass.
Thanks, Matt.

_gpio_request_by_name_nodev: uclass_get_device_by_of_offset failed
_gpio_request_by_name_nodev: Node 'soft-i2c@1', property 'gpios', failed to request GPIO index 0: -19
Each driver always fails at the get_dev_by_offset routine.
I suspect some issue with the way the GPIO is defined or is not setup correctly. Has anyone seen this or have any advice on where to look?
This is the relevant part of the device tree:
aliases {
i2c0 = "/soft-i2c@1";
};
soft-i2c@1 {
#address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>;
/* compatible = "soft-i2c"; */
compatible = "i2c-gpio";
/* clock-frequency = <100000>; */
/* pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_soft_i2c>; */ /* Define the proper GPIO pins */
/*
clock-pin = <&pioA 31 0>; data-pin = <&pioA 30 0>; */ gpios = <&pioA 30 0 /* SDA */ &pioA 31 0>; /* SCL */ i2c-gpio,sda-open-drain; i2c-gpio,scl-open-drain; i2c-gpio,delay-us =<3>; };
};
Can you post the output of 'dm tree' and 'dm uclass'? I wonder if your GPIO driver is not connected up properly?
Are you using i2c-gpio.c? That driver should work as is on any platform with only device tree additions.

Suggest putting your reply at the bottom so people on the mailing list can follow it.

You can look in System.map to find that reloc pc, or even addr2line if you like.
This will probe your device. So check that your probe() method is correct. You can post it here if you like.

Hi Simon, yes I currently have i2c-gpio enabled. Below is the output of both commands. Looks like the GPIO driver is not setup as you suspected. However I'm confused on what specifically is needed to enable it. Are you talking about a DT entry? In looking at other DTS files I did not see anything in particular that called out GPIO. Can you point me to what I'm missing?
Looking at the kernel device tree files it looks like the GPIO node is hidden inside ahb/apb/pinctrl. Since they are all compatible with 'simple-bus' it should still work.
But you will need to create an of_match entry in at91_gpio.c. See s5p_gpio.c for an example. You should add the compatible ID referenced in the pioA node of your device tree.
Then you should see GPIO nodes in your driver model tree. Without these i2c cannot use GPIO.
Regards, Simon
Thanks, Matt.

You should first be sure that dm gpio for your board is working properly.
Are you able to test the output state of some GPIOs on your board, e.g. by the LED? If yes, then you can test it with gpio command or just using some dm_gpio..() calls for some GPIO with the LED.
And about your data abort. I can't check your board config/driver at present but will try to give you a quick suggestion.
So, when you type i2c dev 3, then the i2c device:
"gpio-i2c@1 @ 3fb58348, seq -1, (req 3)"
with alias number 3 (as you requested) is probed.
One of the routine is calling the function: * i2c_gpio_ofdata_to_platdata() in gpio-i2c.c - probably succeeds.
Then, * post_probe() of i2c uclass is called, and next: * i2c_post_probe() - from drivers/i2c/i2c-uclass.c, this goes to: * i2c_gpio_set_bus_speed() - from gpio-i2c.c
And here probably starts the magic which ends by data abort. The driver just operates on GPIOs defined in your device tree.
If you enable the gpio command (CONFIG_CMD_GPIO), then you can easy test, that change state of some GPIO pins works properly, or you can make some test by printing the results of dm_gpio..() calls in somewhere.

OK very interesting, I enabled CONFIG_CMD_GPIO and if I do a "gpio status" I get a data abort and reset, however if I simply do a "gpio set/clear/toggle ..." on a known pin, the output of the pin changes accordingly. I'm not sure specifically what this means but I know the GPIO driver model is at least partly working.
Anyway, due to time constraints I went back to the old I2C driver interface as I don't have time to debug this anymore: https://github.com/linux4sam/u-boot-at91/commit/7ff618b526a04b7fb72df1a3e04a...
Thanks Josh for pointing me to this, I can successfully read the EEPROM I'm after.
