[PATCH v2 00/15] dmaengine: bcm2835: add BCM2711 40-bit DMA support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The BCM2711 has 4 DMA channels with a 40-bit address range, allowing them
to access the full 4GB of memory on a Pi 4.
This patchset aims to update the dma engine for BCM* chipset with respect
to current advancements in downstream vendor tree. In particular, it
supports the BCM2711 DMA engine in terms of extended DMA addressing to 40 bit.

Changes with respect to the first version (see [1]) of this patchset:

* dropped support of the new BCM2712. It will be the focus of a subsequent
  patch.

* merged patchset from Stefan Wahren [2] to support newer chipset with a
  platform agnostic design, while also retaining the new features added 
  from downstream [1], as follows:

  - patches from 1 to 5 are preparatory, adding some features and bugfix
    common to all chipsets.
  - patches from 6 to 12 add hw abstraction
  - patches 13 to 15 eventually add 40 bit and BCM2711 support

* fixed a couple of bugs from [2] relative to address shifting on 40 bit
  support specific code

* added the relevant entries in the dts and DT binding that was missing
  in the first patch

* used FIELD_PREP() wherever appropriate as advised in [3]

* of_match_node() has been replaced by the more generic device_get_match_data(),
  as per [4] 

* fixed several errors and warnings from checkpatch


Please note that there is still a pending discussion around here [5]:
this patch still use the current approach (used in both downstream
code and in Stefan's redesigned patchset) of getting the address as it is 
(dma_addr_t) and just add the relevant offset when needed (on 40 bit
channel, see .addr_offset in struct bcm2835_dma_cfg). This is not
optimal but still deemed as less hacky than using DMA internals (see
[6]). As soon as there will be guidelines for [5] or dma_map_resource()
will take care of dma_ranges, a subsequent patch will adjust accordingly.

Since there is an ongoing effort from Dave Stevenson to upstream a
patchset with similar goals, I'm adding him to the email loop in order 
seek for collaboration.

NOTE: I apologize to any of you that received an incomplete patchset: unfortunately
I had some issues with internal imap server that prevent correct mail delivery.
I'm resending the entire patchset again to be sure everyone is getting a copy.
Again, apologize for the inconvenince.

Many thanks,

Andrea
