[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 0/3] Simplify dts/Makefile and support multiple DTBs generation

1/3 re-writes dts/Makefile more simply. It does not change the behavior except removal of ./u-boot.dts
2/3 moves *.dts from board/$(VENDOR)/dts to arch/$(ARCH)/dts
3/3 adds multipe DTBs generation
This patch uses my Kbuild series as a prerequisite. "Switch over to real Kbuild" series version 9 must be applied beforehand.
Changes in v2: - Rebase on Kbuild series v9 - Add ';' which was missing in arch/arm/lib/board.c - Add 2/3 and 3/3
Masahiro Yamada (3): dts: re-write dts/Makefile more simply with Kbuild dts: move device tree sources to arch/$(ARCH)/dts/ dts: generate multiple device tree blobs

Useful rules in scripts/Makefile.lib allows us to easily generate a device tree blob and wrap it in assembly code.
We do not need to parse a linker script to get output format and arch.
This commit deletes ./u-boot.dtb since it is a copy of dts/dt.dtb

Hello Simon,

This is what I have said in the thread Re: [PATCH] dts: re-write dts/Makefile more simply with Kbuild
We must keep dts/dt.dtb to suppress the re-generation of dts/dt.dtb.
Besides, dts/dt.dtb is a prerequisite of dts/dt.dtb.S when CONFIG_OF_EMBED is enabled.
I believe keeping dts/dt.dtb is reasonable enough.
Better to keep both?
Best Regards Masahiro Yamada

OK. From memory when I did this, it was just a temporary file which was used to create dts/dt.o. Make deleted it at the end of the build, I think. But I may remember wrong, and it doesn't matter anyway.

I think dts/dt.o was deleted at the end only when CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE=y by the following rule.
$(obj)u-boot.dtb: checkdtc $(obj)u-boot $(MAKE) $(build) dts binary mv $(obj)dts/dt.dtb $@
It moves, not copies dts/dt.dtb.

OK. I will revive ./u-boot.dtb and post a new version.
And I will send it as a single patch dropping 2/3 and 3/3. Do you think it's better?
Many kbuild-related patches are being stuck on patchwork and my local branch is getting messed up. I don't want to delay this patch any more.

Agreed, I look forward to all your series being merged, a bit step forward for U-Boot.

Unlike Linux Kernel, U-Boot historically had *.dts files under board/$(VENDOR)/dts/ and *.dtsi files under arch/$(ARCH)/dts/.
I think arch/$(ARCH)/dts dicretory is a better location to store both *.dts and *.dtsi files.
For example, before this commit, board/xilinx/dts directory had both MicroBlaze dts (microblaze-generic.dts) and ARM dts (zynq-*.dts), which are totally unrelated.
This commit moves *.dts to arch/$(ARCH)/dts/ directories, allowing us to describe nicely mutiple DTBs generation in the next commit.

Hi Masahiro,
On 4 February 2014 02:38, Masahiro Yamada yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com wrote:
Unlike Linux Kernel, U-Boot historically had *.dts files under board/$(VENDOR)/dts/ and *.dtsi files under arch/$(ARCH)/dts/.
I think arch/$(ARCH)/dts dicretory is a better location to store both *.dts and *.dtsi files.
For example, before this commit, board/xilinx/dts directory had both MicroBlaze dts (microblaze-generic.dts) and ARM dts (zynq-*.dts), which are totally unrelated.
This commit moves *.dts to arch/$(ARCH)/dts/ directories, allowing us to describe nicely mutiple DTBs generation in the next commit.
What is the motivation for this? I worry that we might end up with a lot of files in one directory. One benefit of the current approach is that .dts files are split up by vendor. Even if we put the SoC .dtsi files in arch/arm, perhaps there is a benefit in leaving the board .dts files in board/<vendor>?
I don't have strong feelings, just questing this...

What if Freescale decided to adopt device tree? They support various boards on ARM, PowerPC, M68K.
Renesus is the same. They have ARM and SuperH boards.
On the other hand, different vendors can produce similar boards. For example avionic design, which develops Tegra boards, are using nVidia's sources.
When I saw board/nvidia/common/common.mk and board/avionic-design/*/Makefile, etc., I think we're screwed up with <vendor> directory.

Hmm, but would it be such a big problem to keep the general ARM and SOC stuff in arch/arm/dts and the board-specific stuff in board/ ?

I'm not convinced yet. I think maybe you have forgotten about the .dtsi files for SoCs. They are common, but no one is going to include a board .dts file (nor can they), so putting them in a common area does not seem like a win to me.
On the other hand, different vendors can produce similar boards. For example avionic design, which develops Tegra boards, are using nVidia's sources.
When I saw board/nvidia/common/common.mk and board/avionic-design/*/Makefile, etc., I think we're screwed up with <vendor> directory.
Well the probably as I see it is that board/nvidia has some SoC code that other boards want to use. The solution to that might be to move the code to arch/arm/cpu/armv7/tegra... instead?

Opposite. Board-specific code mostly resides under arch/arm/mach-* or arch/arm/plat-*. And what else is arch/arm/configs and arch/arm/boot/dts. That's it.
We have board-specific part - entries in boards.cfg - include/configs/<board_config>.h - board/<vendor>/<board> or board/<board> - arch/<ARCH>/include/am/arch-<soc> includes sometimes board-specific headers as well as SoC specific headers. (Because there is no other place to store board-specific header files)
Various stuff under include/, for exmple - include/xilinx.h: vendor specific? - include/sandboxblockdev.h: arch specific?
And we often missed to remove remainders of dead boards.

I do know that *.dtsi files are included from others, while *.dts files are not included from anywhere. And I understand your policy, *.dtsi to arch dir and *.dts to vendor dir. (No that I care, we have two exceptions: ./board/avionic-design/dts/tegra20-tamonten.dtsi ./board/avionic-design/dts/tegra30-tamonten.dtsi)
If I have to mention a win, we can save makefiles by not putting almost same ones in vendor directories.
Anyway, we have 3 structures proposed so far.
[1] board/$(VENDOR)/dts/ (current structure) [2] arch/$(ARCH)/dts/ (suggested by me) [3] dts/ for all architectures (suggested by Scott)
In my option, [2] and [3] seem to be reasonable enough.
If we cannot reach an agreement, shall we postpone 2/3 and 3/3 and apply only 1/3?

But I guess the difference between SoC-specific code and board-specific code was not clear when nVidia develpers posted that code first.
Maybe I am digressing, but it also happens to me quite often. It is difficult for me to decide whether each code should go to board/panasonic or arch/arm/cpu/armv7/uniphier.
I'd say, vendor (and board) directories are harmful.

What is SoC part? What is Board part?
Well SoC is the chip from a vendor like Nvidia. Normally they would provide a set of .dtsi files, say for example tegra20.dtsi, tegra30.dtsi, etc. It makes sense to have a common SoC directory that all boards can use.
Then a board that uses say a Tegra SoC on it can just include those files and connect things up as required.
What if Freescale decided to adopt device tree? They support various boards on ARM, PowerPC, M68K.
Renesus is the same. They have ARM and SuperH boards.

I don't want to hold up progress, but I am not sure that the Linux approach is a great idea. I prefer this:
arch/$(ARCH)/dts - SoC .dtsi files board/$(VENDOR)/dts - Board-specific .dts files (which include the above)
but as you say we don't have a lot of files so it is not a huge deal.
On the other hand, different vendors can produce similar boards. For example avionic design, which develops Tegra boards, are using nVidia's sources.

Agreed, but we don't put .dtsi files in there, so that is a different problem.
But I guess the difference between SoC-specific code and board-specific code was not clear when nVidia develpers posted that code first.
Maybe I am digressing, but it also happens to me quite often. It is difficult for me to decide whether each code should go to board/panasonic or arch/arm/cpu/armv7/uniphier.

Interesting...the idea with board files I think is that it is for code specific to a board. My hope is that there would be less of that with device tree, but it is early days.
You are right about the common directory in board/<vendor>. But this is probably worth a wider discussion than just device tree files.

This, I think is backwards. Xilinx has (and Freescale and others are or will be joining them) a lot of things shared between them as IP blocks get reused from non-ARM to ARM CPUs. So there's a level of DT sharing for these blocks between the CPUs. The kernel is going to start having this problem as vendors start dropping their arm IP blocks into ARMv8 SoCs, and those would be in arch/arm64/. The question is, will people care enough about the duplication, or just live with it.

We share all soft IP drivers between ARM and Microblaze and we will continue in this style. The point is to have the same binding which we have. We are using device-tree generator to get the latest binding which is in sync with kernel. When we adopt u-boot configured by device-tree (when variable handling in u-boot is fixed) we will use the same binding in uboot too.
I personally don't care where DTS files will be placed because we will generate them as we are doing now.

I don't have strong feelings, just questing this...
Having all the device trees in one place (I don't even see why it should be split by arch; some common dtsi files may be shared by multiple arches) is nice for grepping and maintenance. If it gets too large it can grow an internal hierarchy.
Just like net drivers go under drivers/net regardless of arch, etc.
-Scott

It is convenient to have all device trees on the same SoC compiled. It allows for later easy repackaging without the need to re-run the make file.
- Build device trees with the same SoC under arch/$(ARCH)/dts - Copy the one specified by CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE or DEVICE_TREE=... to dts/dt.dtb

Hi Masahiro,

It is convenient to have all device trees on the same SoC compiled. It allows for later easy repackaging without the need to re-run the make file.
- Build device trees with the same SoC under arch/$(ARCH)/dts
- Copy the one specified by CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE or DEVICE_TREE=... to dts/dt.dtb

This better matches what the kernel does, but I'm not 100% comfortable about putting all these files in arch/arm. Granted the vendor directory may not correspond to a particular SoC, but we can put tegra20.dtsi in arch/arm/dts so that all tegra boards can use it, for example.
