Add support to share I2C controller in multiprocessor system in a mutually

if the usecase requires i2c controller to be shared.

Can we read back some value from the registers to know whether such sharing
takes place?
Actually, HW register doesn't provide such mechanism, it's add on feature if SE is programmed for GSI mode.

So it's more of an unwritten contract between subsystems.. okay

yes, purely SW flag based decision.

Sharing of I2C SE(Serial engine) is possible only for GSI mode as client
from each processor can queue transfers over its own GPII Channel. For
non GSI mode, we should force disable this feature even if set by user
from DT by mistake.

The DT is to be taken authoritatively

To clarify - Does it mean i should not have SW disable this feature OR override  ? And let it continue in non GSI mode even it's not going to work ?

If a configuration is invalid, you should return -EINVAL from probe,
with an appropriate error message.

Sure, i agree. I will make a change here and will bail out with an error and print logs if (gi2c->se.shared_geni_se == true). Thanks for this suggestion.


I2C driver just need to mark first_msg and last_msg flag to help indicate
GPI driver to take lock and unlock TRE there by protecting from concurrent
access from other EE or Subsystem.

gpi_create_i2c_tre() function at gpi.c will take care of adding Lock and
Unlock TRE for the respective transfer operations.

Since the GPIOs are also shared between two SS, do not unconfigure them
during runtime suspend. This will allow other SS to continue to transfer
the data without any disturbance over the IO lines.

For example, Assume an I2C EEPROM device connected with an I2C controller.
Each client from ADSP and APPS processor can perform i2c transactions
without any disturbance from each other.

           gi2c->gpi_mode = false;

+        gi2c->se.shared_geni_se = false;

Doing this silently sounds rather odd..
we can have Some SW logging added ?

Normally such overrides mandate a warning/notice, but as I said above,
we should disallow such combinations altogether for sanity

Sure, taken cared with above suggestion.
