I am still not clear why we need to do this recursively ?

Some TPDMs are not directly output connected to the TPDAs. So here I

use a recursive method to check from the TPDA input port until I find

the connected TPDM.

Do you have a better suggestion besides a recursive method?


+static int tpda_set_element_size(struct tpda_drvdata *drvdata,
+               struct coresight_device *csdev, int inport, bool parent)

Please could we renamse csdev => tpda_dev

Since this is a recursively called function, this Coresight device is not

necessarily TPDA, it can be other Coresight device.


+{
+    static int nr_inport;
+    int i;
+    struct coresight_device *in_csdev;

similarly tpdm_dev ?
Same as above, this variable may not necessarily be a TPDM.

Could we not add a check here to see if the dsb_esize[inport] is already
set and then bail out, reading this over and over ?

I will update this in the next patch series.

+
+    for (i = 0; i < csdev->pdata->nr_inconns; i++) {
+        in_csdev = csdev->pdata->in_conns[i].remote_dev;

Please note, the names of the structure field might change in the
next version of James' series
Got it. I will keep an eye out for the James' patch series.

+        if (!in_csdev)
+            break;

+        if (parent)
+            if (csdev->pdata->in_conns[i].port != inport)
+                continue;
+
+        if (in_csdev && strstr(dev_name(&in_csdev->dev), "tpdm")) {

Isn't there a better way to distinguish a device to be TPDM ? May be we
could even add a source_sub_type - SOURCE_TPDM instead of using
SOURCE_OTHERS ? Do you expect other sources to be connected to TPDA?
e.g., STMs ?

I can add "SOURCE_TPDM" as a source_sub_type, but SOURCE_OTHERS needs

to be kept since the other Coresight component we will upstream later may

need it.


+ of_property_read_u32(in_csdev->dev.parent->of_node,
+                    "qcom,dsb-element-size", &drvdata->dsb_esize[nr_inport]);
+            break;
+        }
+        tpda_set_element_size(drvdata, in_csdev, 0, false);

What is the point of this ? Is this for covering the a TPDA connected to
another TPDA ?

e.g., { TPDM0, TPDM1 } -> TPDA0 -> TPDA1 ?

A TPDM may not connect to the TPDA directly, for example,

TPDM0 ->FUNNEL0->FUNNEL1->TPDA0

And many TPDMs can connect to one TPDA, one input port on TPDA only has

one TPDM connected. Therefore, we use a recursive method to find the TPDM

corresponding to the input port of TPDA.

How do you find out decide what to choose, if there are multiple TPDMs
connected to FUNNEL0 or even FUNNEL1 ?

e.g

TPDM0->FUNNEL0->FUNNEL1->TPDA0
                /
          TPDM1

We can find out the corresponding TPDM by the input port number of TPDA.

Each input port is connected to a TPDM. So we have an input port number in

the input parameter of the recursive lookup function "tpda_set_element_size".

I don't understand, how you would figure out, in the above situation.
i.e., FUNNEL1 is connected to TPDA0, but there are two TPDMs that could
be pumping the trace. They both arrive via FUNNEL1. So, how does that
solve your problem ?
