This patch slipts dw-i3c-master.c into three pieces:
dw-i3c-master.c - contains the code that interacts directly with the
core in master mode.
dw-i3c-platdrv.c - contains the code specific to the platform driver.
dw-i3c-core.h - contains the definitions and declarations shared by
dw-i3c-master and dw-i3c-platdrv
This patch will allow SOC integrators to add their code specific to
DesignWare I3C IP.
Isn't it too early to do this change? Can't we wait until we have a SoC
that actually embeds this IP?
I'm trying to turn it more flexible so the other can reuse the code.
Looking at the separation you've done here, I don't see why you need
it. All the resources you request are generic, so why not just adding a
new compat in the of_match_table?
I understand your point.
I'm just following what it's done in others Synopsys drivers and what I
expect is that in the future we will have the same for the I3C.
Some of the current generic functions might be override according with
SoC requirements (e.g i2c-designware, pcie-designware).
for now what do you prefer?
I prefer that we keep the driver as is until we actually need to split
things up.
This is already done and will benefit everyone:
- for me is better do it now than the secondary master and slave
development.
- for the others it will easy the SoC integration avoiding
duplicated work and doing things from scratch.

Just realized the driver is named dw-i3c-master, while the cadence
driver is named i3c-master-cdns.c. I'll send a patch to make that
consistent and follow the initial naming scheme: i3c-master-<ipname>.c.
As I shared with you in previous email, the structure that I have in
mind is this one:
- core.h (or common.h, any though?)
- common.c
- master.c
- slave.c
so for me doesn't make sense to have for instance: i3c-master-dw-slave.c
If you have several files and they're all placed in a dw/ subdir, then
I agree, prefixing everything with i3c-master- is useless, as you'll
have to define a custom rule to create the i3c-master-dw.ko object.
When there's a single source file, and this source file is directly
used to create a .ko, we need this prefix, otherwise we would have
dw.ko, and this would basically conflict with any other designware
driver that does not have a proper prefix.
But seeing what is already in the kernel I wasn't coherent and it should
be named to i3c-designware-master.c
Actually it's i3c-master-designware.c (or i3c-master-dw.c) if we follow
what's been done for the cadence driver.
I was referring to what was made in other modules and should be applied
here too.

And I agree with Linus on this, except that does not apply to single
source file drivers.
This topic rise another one related with the master folder. I understand
that now the subsystem doesn't have slave support but the name is
limited. Isn't better to have something like controller or busses? What
do you have in mind for the slave?
drivers/i3c/slave/... for slave drivers and drivers/i3c/slave.c for the
framework, just like we have drivers/i3c/master/ for master controller
drivers and drivers/i3c/master.c.
I have to disagree here. I don't see any place on the kernel with
.../master/ and ../slave/ folders and it is very likely that both rules
will have some common code.
With this structure the user will have the code spread in /master and
/slave folders...
I would like you consider to change the folder name and the names rules
to something like in i2c.
Maybe someone else can give his opinion too.
