Hi,
I'm not sure if this has been discussed earlier. But after looking at
the the acpi_apd driver, all we need is just the platform-specific input
clock frequency value used by the
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-designware-core.c: i2c_dw_init() to calculate the
values to program into the DW_IC_SS_SCL_HCNT and DW_IC_SS_SCL_LCNT
registers.
So, instead of hard-coding this value into the driver/acpi/acpi_apd.c
(which really has nothing to do with the I2C driver), what if we
introduce a new ACPI key-value pair in the ACPI DSDT such as:
Device(I2C0) // I2C controller
{
Name(_HID, "AMDI0510")
Name(_UID, 0)
Name(_CRS, ResourceTemplate() {
Memory32Fixed (ReadWrite, 0xE1000000, 0x1000)
Interrupt (ResourceConsumer, Level, ActiveHigh, Exclusive,,,) {
389 } // GSIV
})
Name (_DSD, Package () {
ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
Package () {
Package (2) {"clock-source-frequency", 100000000 }
}
}) // _DSD()
}
Then, in the drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-designware-platdrv.c, we can add the
code to parse this information. This way, the I2C driver can just
retrieve this value from the ACPI table of each platform, which should
make it easier to manage. Eventually, we can free I2C driver from the
driver/acpi/acpi_apd.c, which is currently only used by AMD x86 platform.
Also, this approach would allow the I2C drivers in other OSes to use
this same information in the ACPI table. If this approach is okay, I can
provide a patch to implement this.
Thanks,
Suravee
