Instead of hard coding the product register in the rcar-du, use
the framework for it to get the SoC version and the revision needed

Thanks for your efforts!

I agree that doing ioremap() with a hard coded address and reading out
an unrelated register looks like a short term workaround. Replacing
that with something cleaner makes sense. The question in my mind is
how to make it cleaner.

I can see that in this series you have introduced some specialized
functions to be able to check ES version. This may be slightly
cleaner, but the design comes with some drawbacks. One major drawback
is that specialized functions makes it difficult to move the code
between several architectures. So if we should clean up the code then
we should go all the way and do it in a reusable way.

Over the years many drivers have been initially written on the SH
arch, then moved to 32-bit ARM and recently also be used for ARM v8.
Not sure about the DU driver, it may only be shared between 32-bit ARM
and 64-bit ARM instead of all 3 architectures. I think the SCIF driver
has been used on even more architectures like H8. One major reason why
we have been able to reuse code over several architectures is that
we've focus on using standard functions and stayed away from
architecture-specific extensions. In case a short term workaround is
needed then it should not break the code on other architectures. The
initial short term code above would work on any of the supported SoCs
and it would also compile on a whole bunch of other architectures for
compile testing purpose.



Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the initial short term code does work on
all SoCs having a PRODUCT_REG @ 0xfff00044. Correct?

And my code should work identically, no?

Or where do you see the difference?

Going even one step further, running the initial short term code on SoCs
*not* having a PRODUCT_REG @ 0xfff00044 will fail randomly, depending on the
result read from that address, then.

Instead, my proposal, will give at least a valid error message (assuming the
device tree entries are set correctly).

Your code is an improvement to the original one for sure, and I think
it should work identically but with better error reporting...

Regarding compilation, you are correct. Most probably I should add some
empty stub functions for the cpu_is_xx() and revision_is_xx() functions used
on unsupported platforms in a v2.

.. however adding a specialized API like this seems like the wrong
direction IMO. As you probably know, the hardware IP included in SoCs
come from various vendors with potentially shared device drivers.
Think USB host controller drivers or serial ports for instance. With
your approach you would potentially force shared drivers to include
<linux/soc/renesas/rcar3-prr.h> and similar per-SoC-vendor includes
just to be able to check version of a specific IP. This does not scale
very well IMO.


If a specific IP on a specific SoC needs a SoC specific (revision-) check, I have difficulties to imagine how this could look like better.

You won't put Renesas specific registers/functions/macros in e.g.

<linux/soc-revision.h>

No?

What you could do is create a

<linux/soc-revision.h>

include this in your source code, and this <linux/soc-revision.h> includes the <linux/soc/renesas/rcar3-prr.h> based on some #ifdef. Hmm, would that be better?


Because of this I prefer to go with some kind of shared standard API
instead of per-vendor solutions.


Any proposals?

Several SoCs seem to do this cpu_is_xxx() stuff in mainline.


Anyway, please use something standard that can be used on several
architectures without causing breakage. You should also discuss this
with the initial author of the DU driver. He may have a different
opinion than me, but I'm sure he agrees on that the driver should keep
on working on several architectures.

I agree here and I'm happy do discuss this. I tried this with adding Koji
Matsuoka into all discussions CC. Do you like to propose anybody else?

I suspect Matsuoka-san wrote this code with the BSP target in mind.
Then this was broken out into a series when trying to enable HDMI
support on top of mainline. Like Geert wrote in his email, the code
seems a bit immature at this point. So simply dropping the HDMI series
for now makes sense to me.


This does help for the issue with the hard coded PRODUCT register for the moment. But please note that it don't solve the problem in long term. Once the code should be put back, you'll need that revision check, again. Just because there is different hardware out there.


Best regards

Dirk
