I debugged acpi_lpss.c as it attempted to created a platform device for INT33C1. I got as far as this function in resouce.c status = acpi_walk_resources(adev->handle, METHOD_NAME__CRS, acpi_dev_process_resource, &c); the value of c never gets incremented --and returns 0. I'm not sure how closely apcia follows the logic of these tables and whether the OSI value is actually checked or not. If WBUF is being returned, then that would be the source of the issue. Device (SDMA) { Name (_ADR, 0x00150000) // _ADR: Address Name (_UID, 0x01) // _UID: Unique ID Name (RBUF, ResourceTemplate () ... Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized) // _CRS: Current Resource Settings { Return (RBUF) /* \_SB_.PCI0.SDMA.RBUF */ } ... Device (SPI1) { Name (_ADR, 0x00150004) // _ADR: Address Name (_CID, "INT33C1" /* Intel Serial I/O SPI Host Controller */) .. Name (WBUF, ResourceTemplate () { }) Name (DBUF, ResourceTemplate () { FixedDMA (0x0010, 0x0006, Width32bit, ) FixedDMA (0x0011, 0x0007, Width32bit, ) }) Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized) // _CRS: Current Resource Settings { If (!OSDW ()) { Return (WBUF) /* \_SB_.PCI0.SPI1.WBUF */ } Return (ConcatenateResTemplate (RBUF, DBUF)) } } ...... In any case, it sounds like the best approach is just to go with the spi-pxa2xx-pci driver. >>I believe passing the ACPI handle to the platform device is the real >fix. Ok, I understand what this means now --and I know what the acpi handle is for INT33C1. I'm going to try and modify spi.c to use this acpi handle --and hopefully it will find the SPI slave device. handle = ACPI_HANDLE(master->dev.parent); status = acpi_walk_namespace(ACPI_TYPE_DEVICE, handle, 1, acpi_spi_add_device, NULL, master, NULL); On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 9:21 AM, Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Tue, Feb 23, 2016 at 09:30:40PM +0100, Leif Liddy wrote: >> I'm beginning to understand how this is meant to work. >> >> spi_pxa2xx_platform should by itself be able to setup the SPI controller. >> **it has the ACPI ID for it >> { "INT33C1", LPSS_LPT_SSP } >> >> When I modprobe spi_pxa2xx_platform >> pxa2xx_spi_probe never gets called, there must be an issue with: >> acpi_match_table = ACPI_PTR(pxa2xx_spi_acpi_match) > > That's fine - the device is a PCI device and does not require ACPI ID. > However, the PCI part of the driver creates this platform device for > spi_pxa2xx_platform. > >> Ok, so I've installed Ismo's one line patch >> >> dmesg log of "modprobe spi_pxa2xx_pci" >> >> pxa2xx-spi pxa2xx-spi.0: found DMA channel "tx" at index 0 >> dma dma0chan0: dwc_alloc_chan_resources: allocated 64 descriptors >> dmaengine: __dma_request_channel: success (dma0chan0) >> pxa2xx-spi pxa2xx-spi.0: found DMA channel "rx" at index 1 >> dmaengine: private_candidate: dma0chan0 busy >> dma dma0chan1: dwc_alloc_chan_resources: allocated 64 descriptors >> dmaengine: __dma_request_channel: success (dma0chan1) > > Difference is that with Ismo's patch you actually have ACPI handle for > the device so it tries to use ACPI to look for the DMA channels. > >> without the patch: >> >> dma dma0chan0: dwc_alloc_chan_resources: allocated 64 descriptors >> dmaengine: __dma_request_channel: success (dma0chan0) >> dmaengine: private_candidate: dma0chan0 busy >> dma dma0chan1: dwc_alloc_chan_resources: allocated 64 descriptors >> dmaengine: __dma_request_channel: success (dma0chan1) > > Here it uses hardcoded indices instead.
