Since we decided to use soc specific compatibles for describing

now to handle the same.

Keep the old deprecated compatible strings still in the driver,
to ensure backward compatibility.

This is okay, so there is no ABI break.

Great. Thanks for the confirmation.

This is a bit odd... you have 7 devices which are simply compatible or
even the same. This should be instead one compatible.

I don't really get why do you want to deprecate "qcom,crypto-v5.1".
Commit msg only says "we decided" but I do not know who is "we" and "why
we decided like this". If you want to deprecate it, perfectly fine by
me, but please say in commit msg why you are doing it.

I understand. This patchset has been in flight for some time and hence I
might have missed sharing some detailed information about the review
comments and rework done along the way (in the cover letter for this
series).

Coming back to your concern, here is the relevant background:
- Please see:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-msm/20210316222825.GA3792517@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

- Rob shared some comments on the v1 series regarding the soc-specific
compatibles. He mentioned in the above thread that 'you should stick
with SoC specific compatibles as *everyone* else does (including most
QCom bindings).'

- So, while I had proposed "qcom,crypto-v5.1" (for ipq6018) and
"qcom,crypto-v5.4" (for sdm845, sm8150) etc. as the compatible(s) in the
v1 series, I shifted to using the soc-specific compatibles from the v2
series, onwards.

Then the reason could be - Reviewers preferred SoC-based compatible
instead of IP-block-version-based.

What is confusing is the difference between that link and here. That
link wanted to introduce 4 different compatibles... and here you have
even 7 compatibles being the same.

The link points to v1 version and we are on v7 currently. So there have been other comments and reworks along the way :)

All of these have been referred to in the cover letter logs.

Again please refer to Vladimir's comments on v5 version here, where he suggested adding soc compatibles for 'ipq8074' and 'msm8996' as well.

- https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/7328ae17-1dc7-eaa1-5993-411b986e5e02@xxxxxxxxxx/ - https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/f5b7c89c-3bdd-1e1e-772e-721aa5e95bbf@xxxxxxxxxx/ - https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/7328ae17-1dc7-eaa1-5993-411b986e5e02@xxxxxxxxxx/

Also the 7 SoC compatibles do not point to the same crypto IP version. We have two IP versions currently supported upstream, "qcom,crypto-v5.1" and "qcom,crypto-v5.4" (with patches for support for newer versions under work and can be expected to land upstream in near future).

However, if you suggest, we can add some comments in the dt-binding doc
to reflect which SoC supports which version.

- Basically, since we are going to have newer qce IP versions available
in near future, e.g. "qcom,crypto-v5.5" etc, and we will have 2 or more
SoCs also sharing 1 version, these compatibles would grow and become
more confusing. IMO, having a soc-specific compatible in such cases is
probably a much cleaner approach.

Hope this helps answer some of your concerns and provides some relevant
background information.

Sure, but I still think you should have only one compatible in the
driver in such case. You don't have differences between them from the
driver point of view, so the devices seem to be compatible.

If not, what are the differences?

There can always be requirements for compatible specific handling done in the driver. See Bjorn's comment here for example: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YZKhqJuFlRVeQkCc@xxxxxxxxxxx/ , as an example of 'clk_get' calls conditional based on the compatible instead.

This series is to get some early comments and might need some further rework / rearrangement.

However, I would request Rob to share his views as well on the soc specific compatibles, since it was originally his suggestion. I can rework the patchset accordingly.

Thanks,
Bhupesh
