Re: Add a SSDT ACPI description to recognize my I2C device connected via SMBus

The mcp23s08 can not be connected to I2C. It's a SPI device.
Which chip do you actually have? I believe it's MCP23017 or MCP23018,
which is I2C.

Yes the device is a mcp23017, but the driver is the pinctrl_mcp23s08 [1]

root@dev ~ # lsmod | grep mcp
pinctrl_mcp23s08       16384  0
regmap_core            45056  1 pinctrl_mcp23s08,[permanent]

Summary:
1) _CID notation is wrong in ASL;

I got it

2) driver seems supports the _ADR schema which you have used in ASL;

This refers to the i2c-0, doesn't it?
My mcp23s08 device is located at the i2c-0 on address 0x24.

3) something fishy about I/O addresses in the sysfs (is it a typo when
you composed the email?);

No

I have asked myself the same question.
Something is not right.
There was a change regarding the Hudson2 in the driver, maybe something went wrong [2]?

4) it's unclear what you did with ASL to get it loaded;

On my development device I did a `iasl dsl/mcp23017.dsl`
Of the following dsl

$ cat dsl/mcp23017.dsl
DefinitionBlock ("mcp23017.aml", "SSDT", 5, "", "MCP23017", 4)
{
    External (\_SB.PCI0.SBUS, DeviceObj)

    Scope (\_SB.PCI0.SBUS)
    {
        Device (GPIO)
        {
            Name (_HID, "PRP0001")
            Name (_DDN, "MCP23017 gpio expander")
            Name (_ADR, Zero)
            Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () {
                I2cSerialBus (
                    0x24,                   // Bus address
                    ControllerInitiated,    // Don't care
                    400000,                 // Fast mode (400 kHz)
                    AddressingMode7Bit,     // 7-bit addressing
                    "\\_SB.PCI0.SBUS",      // I2C host controller
                    0                       // Must be 0
                )
            })

            Name (_DSD, Package () {
                ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
                Package () {
Package () { "compatible", Package () { "microchip,mcp23017" } },
                }
            })
        }
    }
}

After that I copied this to my APU3 Target and executed
 the following commands:
mkdir /sys/kernel/config/acpi/table/mcp23017

cat mcp23s08.aml > /sys/kernel/config/table/mcp23017

5) as Mika suggested, have you checked the kernel configuration?

I have now switched on the suggested option
CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_METHOD=y
CONFIG_ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE=y
CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS=y
CONFIG_ACPI_CONFIGFS=y
CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y

But this did not solved my issue loading ssdt during runtime.

The output of the aml on the target:

cat /sys/kernel/config/acpi/table/mcp23017/aml
SSDTsMCP23017INTL \/_SB_PCI0SBUSK
                                 \/_SB_PCI0SBUS[H
MCP23017 gpio expande_AD_CRS&
#$\_SB.PCI0.SBUS_DSD?
microchip,mcp23017


My iasl version:

iasl --version
Illegal option: --

Intel ACPI Component Architecture

What else can I do?
The initrd option does not work with OpenWrt.
Maybe I can get further if you can give me a good HEX for debug_level and the debug_layer?
