Hi! The big change since v13 is that the mux state is now locked with a mutex instead of an rwsem. Other that that, it is mostly restructuring and doc changes. There are a few other "real" changes as well, but those changes feel kind of minor. I guess what I'm trying to say is that although the list of changes for v14 is longish, it's still basically the same as last time. Jonathan, I hope it was OK to keep your Reviewed-by tag on patch 03/11 (mux-core.c plus support) and to also add it to 04/11 (mux-gpio.c) even if the previously reviewed patch (mux-core.c + mux-gpio.c) was split in two? v13 -> v14 changes - Go back to a mutex instead of a rwsem to protect the mux state. [Greg K-H] - Add __must_check to the mux_control_select function. [Greg, was this what you meant with "sparse markings"? I assume not, but I don't know...] - Don't return hint on mux state changes when calling mux_control_select. [Greg] - Add mux_control_try_select function. [Philipp Zabel] - Split the mux.h #include into mux/driver.h and mux/consumer.h [Philipp] - Add mux_control_states function to be able to completely hide struct mux_control details from mux consumers. - Include the constants from the DT bindings include, instead of redefining them. [Greg] - Make mux_chip_alloc (and devm_mux_chip_alloc) return ERR_PTR instead of NULL on error. [Greg] - Document why mux_chip_alloc and mux_chip_register are split up, and what is supposed to happen between the two calls, [Greg] and... - ...specifically mention that mux drivers should never clobber cached_state [Philipp]. - Support module unloading of the core (and initialize mux_ida on init). [Greg] - Do not mention link order when commenting on why there is a subsys_initcall instead of an ordinare module_init in the mux-core. [Greg] - Use __func__ instead of spelling out the function name. [Greg] - Drop cargo cult usage of WARN_ON. [Greg] - Drop unused forward declaration of struct platform_device. - Move kernel doc from the function declarations to the definitions. [Greg] - Use unsigned values for the state in the consumer interface. [Philipp] - WARN if consumers request an invalid state. [Philipp] - Split out mux-gpio from the core patch (03/10 -> 03/11 and 04/11). [Greg] - Drop OF Kconfig dep from mux-gpio. [Greg] - Fail the adg792a probe if the I2C adapter does not support I2C_FUNC_SMBUS_BYTE_DATA. - For clarity, handle the adg792a active low reset bit in a helper function. - Make use of the preexisting mux variable in the adg792a driver instead of chasing the same pointers a second time. - Use device_property_read_* instead of of_property_read_* in adg792a. - Added a "thank you" section to the patch adding the mux core (patch 03/11). This adds a new mux controller subsystem with an interface for accessing mux controllers, along with two drivers providing the interface (gpio and adg792) and two consumers (iio and i2c). This is done in such a way that several consumers can independently access the same mux controller if one controller controls several multiplexers, thus allowing sharing. But sharing is by no means required, of course. It is perfectly fine to have a single consumer of a dedicated mux controller controlling only one mux for said consumer. The prediction is that the typical use case will be for gpio-based muxing (which is also what drove the development), where the below schematics show the flexibility with one gpio-based mux controller being shared by the iio-mux and i2c-mux-gpmux drivers. .----. |GPO0|----------. |GPO1|--------. | | | | | | | .-------. | | |dg4052a| | | | | |ADC0|-----|X X0|---- signal X0 | | | X1|---- signal X1 | | | X2|---- signal X2 | | | X3|---- signal X3 | | | | |SDA0|-----|Y Y0|---- i2c segment Y0 |SCL0|--. | Y1|---- i2c segment Y1 '----' | | Y2|---- i2c segment Y2 | | Y3|---- i2c segment Y3 | '-------' | 0 1 2 3 (feed SCL0 to each of | | | | | the 4 muxed segments) '----------------+-+-+-' GPO0 and GPO1 may also be fed to further parallel muxers, which is perhaps desired in a real application to minimize digital noise from the I2C Y channel leaking into the analog X channel. I.e. it might be a good idea to separate the analog and digital signals... And the below hypothetical schematics indicate something similar but using the I2C-based adg792a multiplexer instead. .----. |SDA0|----------. |SCL0|--------. | | | | | | | .-------. | | |adg792a| | | | | |ADC0|-----|D1 S1A|---- signal S1A | | | S1B|---- signal S1B | | | S1C|---- signal S1C | | | S1D|---- signal S1D | | | | |SDA1|---+-|D2 S2A|---- i2c segment S2A |SCL1|-. | | S2B|---- i2c segment S2B '----' | | | S2C|---- i2c segment S2C | | | S2D|---- i2c segment S2D | | | | | '-|D3 S3A|---- i2c segment S3A | | S3B|---- i2c segment S3B | | S3C|---- i2c segment S3C | | S3D|---- i2c segment S3D | '-------' | A B C D A B C D (feed SCL1 to each of | | | | | | | | | the 8 muxed segments) '-----------------+-+-+-+---+-+-+-' Background: I have a piece of hardware that is using the same 3 GPIO pins to control four 8-way muxes. Three of them control ADC lines to an ADS1015 chip with an iio driver, and the last one controls the SDA line of an i2c bus. We have some deployed code to handle this, but you do not want to see it or ever hear about it. I'm not sure why I even mention it. Anyway, the situation has nagged me to no end for quite some time. So, after first getting more intimate with the i2c muxing code and later discovering the drivers/iio/inkern.c file and writing a couple of drivers making use of it, I came up with what I think is an acceptable solution; add a generic mux controller driver (and subsystem) that is shared between all instances, and combine that with an iio mux driver and a new general purpose i2c mux driver that is only hooking the i2c muxing and the new mux controller. One thing that I would like to do, but don't see a solution for, is to move the mux control code that is present in various drivers in drivers/i2c/muxes to this new minimalistic muxing subsystem, thus converting all present i2c muxes (but perhaps not gates and arbitrators). I'm using an ordinary mutex to lock the mux, but that isn't really a perfect fit since multiple consumers of the same mux controller need not lock each other out when they want the same mux state. I had a rwsem for a long while, but that still degenerated to the above mutex case both when there was contention and for a race when uncontended. Also, the "mux" name feels a bit ambitious, there are many muxes in the world, and this tiny bit of code is probably not good enough to be a nice fit for all... Older changes: v12 -> v13 changes: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/13/493 - Philipp Zabel noticed a bad compatible string in the gpio muxer.

But I still wanted to show the last version I had and I'm still a bit undecided... - added some words to the remaining otherwise empty commit messages - added various acks/reviews from Jonathan and Wolfram. - move mux last in drivers/Kconfig and drivers/Makefile - bump copyright years - centralize error reporting of common operatinons to the mux core - add WARN_ON for faulty usage of mux_chip_register - simplify code for other WARN_ON call sites v6 -> v7 changes: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/1/4/315 - move from drivers/misc/mux-* to drivers/mux/ [I will remove Cc:s to Arnd and Greg for v8, when/if that happens] - add managed versions of mux_chip_alloc and mux_chip_register - use the above in mux-gpio.c and mux-adg792a.c - also use them to support a simplified binding of a gpio mux for the common case where there is a single consumer (and no specific idle requirements) - new binding for describing idle behaviour of mux-adg792a - add bindings for the gpo-pins on the mux-adg792g - use device_property_read_u32 instead of of_property_read_u32 in mux-gpio.c - rename iio mux compatible to io-channel-mux (was iio-mux) - remove linuxism in the bindings (it was mentioning a function name) - add missing quote in the example in the io-channel-mux binding - factor out preparatory cleanup of devres docs to its own patch - add blank line in mux_chip_free - use SIMPLE_{PARENT,MUX}_LOCKED instead of magic numbers {0,1} in i2c-mux-simple.c - add some acks and a reviewed-by from Jonathan v5 -> v6 changes: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/30/466 - fix stupidity in mux_chip_priv, mux_gpio_remove and adg792a_remove. - change the devicetree bindings for the iio-mux to use a list of strings (channels property) instead of a list children. v4 -> v5 changes: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/29/224 - remove support for fancier dt layouts and go back to the phandle approach from v2 and before, killing the horrible non-working refcounting crap from v4 and avoiding a bunch of life-time issues in v3. - introduce the concept of a mux-chip, that can hold one or more mux-controllers (inspired by the pwm subsystem). - add dt #mux-control-cells property needed to get to the desired mux controller if a mux chip provides more than one. - take away the option to build the mux-core as a module. - if the mux controller has an idle state, make sure the mux controller is set up in the idle state initially (when it should be idle). - do not use a variable length array on the stack in mux_gpio_set to temporarily store the gpio state, preallocate space instead. - fix resource leak on one failure path in mux_gpio_probe. - driver for Analog Devices ADG792A/G, literally the first mux chip I found on the Internet with an i2c interface (that was not a dedicated i2c multiplexer like PCA9547) which I used to verify that the abstractions in the mux core are up to the task. Untested, just proof of concept that at least looks pretty and compiles... - various touch-ups. v3 -> v4 changes: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/24/664 - rebased onto next-20161122 (depends on recent _available iio changes). - added support for having the mux-controller in a child node of a mux-consumer if it is a sole consumer, to hopefully even further satisfy the complaint from Rob (and later Lars-Peter) about dt complexity. - the above came at the cost of some rather horrible refcounting code, please review and suggest how it should be done... - changed to register a device class instead of a bus. - pass in the parent device into mux_control_alloc and require less work from mux-control drivers. - changed device names from mux:control%d to mux%d - move kernel-doc from mux-core.c to mux.h (and add some bits). - give the gpio driver a chance to update all mux pins at once. - factor out iio ext_info lookup into new helper function. /Lars-Peter - use an unsigned type for the iio ext_info count. /Lars-Peter - unified "brag strings" in the file headers. v2 -> v3 changes: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/21/332 - have the mux-controller in the parent node of any mux-controller consumer, to hopefully satisfy complaint from Rob about dt complexity. - improve commit message of the mux subsystem commit, making it more general, as requested by Jonathan. - remove priv member from struct mux_control and calculate it on the fly. /Jonathan - make the function comments in mux-core.c kernel doc. /Jonathan - add devm_mux_control_* to Documentation/driver.model/devres.txt. /Jonathan - add common dt bindings for mux-controllers, refer to them from the mux-gpio bindings. /Rob - clarify how the gpio pins map to the mux state. /Rob - separate CONFIG_ variables for the mux core and the mux gpio driver. - improve Kconfig help texts. - make CONFIG_MUX_GPIO depend on CONFIG_GPIOLIB. - keep track of the number of mux states in the mux core. - since the iio channel number is used as mux state, it was possible to drop the state member from the mux_child struct. - cleanup dt bindings for i2c-mux-simple, it had some of copy-paste problems from ots origin (i2c-mux-gpio). - select the mux control subsystem in config for the i2c-mux-simple driver. - add entries to MAINTAINERS and my sign-off, I'm now satisfied and know nothing in this to be ashamed of. v1 -> v2 changes: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/17/918 - fixup export of mux_control_put reported by kbuild - drop devicetree iio-ext-info property as noted by Lars-Peter, and replace the functionality by exposing all ext_info attributes of the parent channel for each of the muxed channels.
