The ACPICA core does not call _REG on an ACPI node which does not
define an OpRegion matching the type being registered; and the reference
design DSDT, from which most Cherry Trail DSDTs are derived, does not
define GeneralPurposeIo, nor UserDefined(0x93) OpRegions for the GPO2
(UID 3) device, because no pins were assigned ACPI controlled functions
in the reference design.
Together this leads to the perfect storm, at least on the Cherry Trail
based Medion Akayo E1239T. This design does use a GPO2 pin from its ACPI
code and has added the Cherry Trail specific UserDefined(0x93) opregion
to its GPO2 ACPI node to access this pin.
But it uses a has _REG been called availability check for the standard
GeneralPurposeIo OpRegion. This clearly is a bug in the DSDT, but this
does work under Windows.
Do we know why this works under Windows? I mean if possible we should do
the same and I kind of suspect that they forcibly call _REG in their
GPIO driver.
Windows has its own ACPI implementation, so it could also be that their
equivalent of the:
status = acpi_install_address_space_handler(handle, ACPI_ADR_SPACE_GPIO,
acpi_gpio_adr_space_handler,
NULL, achip);
Call from drivers/gpio/gpiolib-acpi.c indeed always calls _REG on the handle
without checking that there is an actual OpRegion with a space-id
of ACPI_ADR_SPACE_GPIO defined, as the ACPICA code does. Note that the
current ACPICA code would require significant rework to allow this, or
it would need to add a _REG call at the end of acpi_install_address_space_handler(),
potentially calling _REG twice in many cases.
I actually think this is the correct solution. Reading ACPI spec it say
this:
Once _REG has been executed for a particular operation region,
indicating that the operation region handler is ready, a control
method can access fields in the operation region
You can interpret it so that _REG gets called when operation region
handler is ready. It does not say that there needs to be an actual
operation region even though the examples following all have operation
region.
I wonder what our ACPICA gurus think about this? Rafael, Bob, Erik?
I realize that this thread has gone a bit stale (sorry about that)
but I have been working on an ACPICA solution on that, and this works
nicely. It turns out that ACPICA already had code to run the _REG method
unconditionally in some cases, so I've simply extended that to also
apply to GpioOpRegions.
One thing which is open for discussion is if we want to extend this
to more then just GpioOpRegions. For now I've chosen to just extend
the current special handling for EC OpRegions to also apply to
GpioOpRegions which fixes the issue at hand.
I've attached a patch directly against the Linux kernel acpica
copy which fixes this.
Mika (or anyone else reading along who wants to help), I know that
ACPICA patches go upstream through the ACPICA repo, but I'm not
really familiar with there workflow and I'm a bit swamped with
work atm. So I was wondering if you could perhaps convert
this patch to an upstream ACPICA patch and submit it there for me ?

Hans

Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: Also handle "orphan" _REG methods for GPIO OpRegions
Before this commit acpi_ev_execute_reg_methods() had special handling
to handle "orphan" (no matching OpRegion declared) _REG methods for EC
nodes.
On Intel Cherry Trail devices there are 2 possible ACPI OpRegions for
accessing GPIOs. The standard GeneralPurposeIo OpRegion and the Cherry
Trail specific UserDefined 0x9X OpRegions.
Having 2 different types of OpRegions leads to potential issues with
checks for OpRegion availability, or in other words checks if _REG has
been called for the OpRegion which the ACPI code wants to use.
Except for the "orphan" EC handling, ACPICA core does not call _REG on
an ACPI node which does not define an OpRegion matching the type being
registered; and the reference design DSDT, from which most Cherry Trail
DSDTs are derived, does not define GeneralPurposeIo, nor UserDefined(0x93)
OpRegions for the GPO2 (UID 3) device, because no pins were assigned ACPI
controlled functions in the reference design.
Together this leads to the perfect storm, at least on the Cherry Trail
based Medion Akayo E1239T. This design does use a GPO2 pin from its ACPI
code and has added the Cherry Trail specific UserDefined(0x93) opregion
to its GPO2 ACPI node to access this pin.
But it uses a has _REG been called availability check for the standard
GeneralPurposeIo OpRegion. This clearly is a bug in the DSDT, but this
does work under Windows. This issue leads to the intel_vbtn driver
reporting the device always being in tablet-mode at boot, even if it
is in laptop mode. Which in turn causes userspace to ignore touchpad
events. So iow this issues causes the touchpad to not work at boot.
This commit fixes this by extending the "orphan" _REG method handling
to also apply to GPIO address-space handlers.
Note it seems that Windows always calls "orphan" _REG methods so me
may want to consider dropping the space-id check and always do
"orphan" _REG method handling.
