Hello, The mainline ChromeOS Embedded Controller (EC) driver is still missing some features that are present in the downstream ChromiumOS tree. These are: - Low Pin Count (LPC) interface - User-space device interface - Access to vboot context stored on a block device - Access to vboot context stored on EC's nvram - Power Delivery Device - Support for multiple EC in a system This is a fifth version of a series that adds support for the first two of the missing features: the EC LPC and EC character device interfaces that are used by user-space to access the ChromeOS EC. The support patches were taken from the downstream ChromiumOS 3.14 tree with the fixes and cleanups squashed to have a minimal patch-set. The version of the ChromeOS EC chardev driver in this series still does not reflect the latest one that is in the downstream ChromiumOS 3.14 kernel but makes the delta shorter. Following patches will add the remaining missing features until both trees are in sync. I preferred to first add the initial support and then adding the other features to both maintain the original patch history in the downstream kernel and so preserve the patch authorship and also make the diff to have a working cros user-space interface smaller. This version solves the issues pointed out in the earlier revision. A big difference between this series and the downstream ChromiumOS kernel is that the ioctl API is modified to make it 64-bit safe and compatible with both 64 and 32 bit user-space binaries. The data structures passed as arguments in the ChromiumOS ioctl interface commands has pointers fields and since these have different byte boundaries alignment requirement, the ChromiumOS driver has a compat ioctl interface. The feedback was that this had to be avoided since this was a new ioctl API so the pointers fields were replaced with a set of fixed-size arrays to be used instead. This has the drawback that more data could be used and copied between user and kernel space so feedback is welcomed if there is a better approach to solve this kind of issues. The patches were tested on an Exynos5420 Peach Pit Chromebook and (thanks to Bill Richardson) on an x86 Pixel Chromebook using a modified ectool [0] to use the new ioctl API. The LPC interface driver and the lightbar sysfs driver were also tested on the Pixel Chromebook. The series is composed of the following patches: Bill Richardson (4): platform/chrome: Add cros_ec_lpc driver for x86 devices platform/chrome: Add Chrome OS EC userspace device interface platform/chrome: Create sysfs attributes for the ChromeOS EC platform/chrome: Expose Chrome OS Lightbar to users Javier Martinez Canillas (3): mfd: cros_ec: Use fixed size arrays to transfer data with the EC mfd: cros_ec: Add char dev and virtual dev pointers mfd: cros_ec: Instantiate ChromeOS EC character device Documentation/ioctl/ioctl-number.txt | 1 + drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-cros-ec-tunnel.c | 51 +--- drivers/input/keyboard/cros_ec_keyb.c | 13 +- drivers/mfd/cros_ec.c | 19 +- drivers/platform/chrome/Kconfig | 26 +- drivers/platform/chrome/Makefile | 3 + drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_dev.c | 274 +++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_dev.h | 53 +++++ drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_lightbar.c | 367 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_lpc.c | 319 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_sysfs.c | 271 +++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/mfd/cros_ec.h | 23 +- 12 files changed, 1358 insertions(+), 62 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_dev.c create mode 100644 drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_dev.h create mode 100644 drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_lightbar.c create mode 100644 drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_lpc.c create mode 100644 drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec_sysfs.c Patch #1 modified the struct cros_ec_command structure so it can be used as an ioctl argument and be 64 and 32 bit safe and patch #2 adds fields to the struct cros_ec_device that will be needed by the EC chardev driver. Patch #3 adds support for the EC LPC interface used on x86 Chromebooks. Patch #4 adds the ChromeOS chardev driver and patch #5 instantiates it from the mfd cros_ec driver. Patch #6 exposes sysfs attributes that can be used by user space programs to get information and control the ChromeOS EC. Patch #7 exposes sysfs attributes that are used to control the lightbar RGB LEDs found on the Pixel Chromebook. The patches must be applied together and in order due dependencies. Lee Jones has already acked the MFD changes so I think this could go through Olof's chrome-platform tree.
