This patch series adds support for UCI driver. UCI driver enables userspace clients to communicate to external MHI devices like modem. UCI driver probe creates standard character device file nodes for userspace clients to perform open, read, write, poll and release file operations. These file operations call MHI core layer APIs to perform data transfer using MHI bus to communicate with MHI device. This interface allows exposing modem control channel(s) such as QMI, MBIM, or AT commands to userspace which can be used to configure the modem using tools such as libqmi, ModemManager, minicom (for AT), etc over MHI. This is required as there are no kernel APIs to access modem control path for device configuration. Data path transporting the network payload (IP), however, is routed to the Linux network via the mhi-net driver. Currently driver supports QMI channel. libqmi is userspace MHI client which communicates to a QMI service using QMI channel. Please refer to https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libqmi/ for additional information on libqmi. Patch is tested using arm64 and x86 based platform. V18: - Updated commit text for UCI to clarify why this driver is required for QMI over MHI. Also updated cover letter with same information. v17: - Updated commit text for UCI driver by mentioning about libqmi open-source userspace program that will be talking to this UCI kernel driver. - UCI driver depends upon patch "bus: mhi: core: Add helper API to return number of free TREs". v16: - Removed reference of WLAN as an external MHI device in documentation and cover letter. v15: - Updated documentation related to poll and release operations. V14: - Fixed device file node format to /dev/<mhi_dev_name> instead of /dev/mhi_<mhi_dev_name> because "mhi" is already part of mhi device name. For example old format: /dev/mhi_mhi0_QMI new format: /dev/mhi0_QMI. - Updated MHI documentation to reflect index mhi controller name in QMI usage example. V13: - Removed LOOPBACK channel from mhi_device_id table from this patch series. Pushing a new patch series to add support for LOOPBACK channel and the user space test application. Also removed the description from kernel documentation. - Added QMI channel to mhi_device_id table. QMI channel has existing libqmi support from user space. - Updated kernel Documentation for QMI channel and provided external reference for libqmi. - Updated device file node name by appending mhi device name only, which already includes mhi controller device name. V12: - Added loopback test driver under selftest/drivers/mhi. Updated kernel documentation for the usage of the loopback test application. - Addressed review comments for renaming variable names, updated inline comments and removed two redundant dev_dbg. V11: - Fixed review comments for UCI documentation by expanding TLAs and rewording some sentences. V10: - Replaced mutex_lock with mutex_lock_interruptible in read() and write() file ops call back. V9: - Renamed dl_lock to dl_pending _lock and pending list to dl_pending for clarity. - Used read lock to protect cur_buf. - Change transfer status check logic and only consider 0 and -EOVERFLOW as only success. - Added __int to module init function. - Print channel name instead of minor number upon successful probe. V8: - Fixed kernel test robot compilation error by changing %lu to %zu for size_t. - Replaced uci with UCI in Kconfig, commit text, and comments in driver code. - Fixed minor style related comments. V7: - Decoupled uci device and uci channel objects. uci device is associated with device file node. uci channel is associated with MHI channels. uci device refers to uci channel to perform MHI channel operations for device file operations like read() and write(). uci device increments its reference count for every open(). uci device calls mhi_uci_dev_start_chan() to start the MHI channel. uci channel object is tracking number of times MHI channel is referred. This allows to keep the MHI channel in start state until last release() is called. After that uci channel reference count goes to 0 and uci channel clean up is performed which stops the MHI channel. After the last call to release() if driver is removed uci reference count becomes 0 and uci object is cleaned up. - Use separate uci channel read and write lock to fine grain locking between reader and writer. - Use uci device lock to synchronize open, release and driver remove. - Optimize for downlink only or uplink only UCI device. V6: - Moved uci.c to mhi directory. - Updated Kconfig to add module information. - Updated Makefile to rename uci object file name as mhi_uci - Removed kref for open count V5: - Removed mhi_uci_drv structure. - Used idr instead of creating global list of uci devices. - Used kref instead of local ref counting for uci device and open count. - Removed unlikely macro. V4: - Fix locking to protect proper struct members. - Updated documentation describing uci client driver use cases. - Fixed uci ref counting in mhi_uci_open for error case. - Addressed style related review comments. V3: Added documentation for MHI UCI driver. V2: - Added mutex lock to prevent multiple readers to access same - mhi buffer which can result into use after free.
