So how do we fix this?  IMHO:

Add 4 new pinctrl states in rk3399.dtsi:

     cs_low_clk_low, cs_low_clk_high, cs_high_clk_low, cs_high_clk_high

These would each look something like this:

spi5_cs_low_data_low: spi5-cs-low-data-low {
     rockchip,pins = <2 22 RK_FUNC_0 &pcfg_output_low>,
       <2 23 RK_FUNC_0 &pcfg_output_low>;
};

Where "pcfg_output_low" would be moved from the existing location in
"rk3399-gru.dtsi" to the main "rk3399.dtsi" file.


...now, you'd define runtime_suspend and runtime_resume functions
where you'd look at the current state of the chip select and output
and select one of these 4 pinmuxes so that things _don't_ change.


*** NOTE *** The more I look at this, the more I'm getting convinced
that the right thing to do is to just disable Runtime PM while the
chip select is asserted.  ...so probably you can just skip the next
chunk of text and go straight to "PROPOSAL".
ok

it looks like the clk would be low when spi idle, so do we only need
*_clk_low?

You're only looking at one polarity.  From Wikipedia
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Peripheral_Interface_Bus>, the
source of all that is "true":

* At CPOL=0 the base value of the clock is zero, i.e. the idle state
is 0 and active state is 1.
-> For CPHA=0, data are captured and output on the clock's rising edge
(low→high transition)
-> For CPHA=1, data are captured and output on the clock's falling edge.

* At CPOL=1 the base value of the clock is one (inversion of CPOL=0),
i.e. the idle state is 1 and active state is 0.
-> For CPHA=0, data are captured and output on clock's falling edge.
-> For CPHA=1, data are captured and output on clock's rising edge.

If you're adding code to the generic Rockchip SPI driver you need to
handle both polarities.


and the rockchip spi supports 2 cs, so should we use cs0_low_cs1_low_clk_low
or should we put these pinmux into sub spi device?

By default the pinctrl for rk3399.dtsi just sets up cs0, so I'd worry
about that.  If someone wants to make cs1 work then they'd have to
specify the right pinctrl there.


* You'd want to add the pinmux configs to the main rk3399.dtsi file
and then add code to the rockchip SPI driver to select the right
pinmux (depending on the current state of the chip select and the
current polarity) at runtime suspend.  ...then go back to "default"
mode at runtime resume.

i uploaded 2 testonly CLs:
remote:   https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/544391 TESTONLY: spi:
rockchip: use pinmux to config cs
remote:   https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/544392 TESTONLY: dts:
bob: only enable ec spi

but they are not working well, not sure why, maybe cs still toggled will
switching pinmux? will use scope to check it next week.

Yeah, scope is probably the right thing to do.  One thing you'd have
to make sure is that everything is being done glitch free.  In other
words, if this is happening:

A) Pinmux to GPIO
B) Set GPIO to output
C) Drive GPIO state low

Then that's bad because:

After step A but before step B, you might still be an input and pulls
might take effect.  Thus you could glitch the line.

After step B but before step C, you might be outputting something else
if the GPIO had previously been configured to output high.


You need to make sure that the sequence is instead:

A) Drive GPIO state high
B) Set GPIO to output
C) Pinmux to GPIO


Ensuring things are glitch free and dealing with two chip selects
means it might be cleaner would be to do all the GPIO stuff yourself
in the driver.  Then you'd have to specify the GPIOs in the device
tree.

OK, I took a look at your CL and I'm now of the opinion that we should
disable Runtime PM when the chip select is asserted.  Maybe just
ignore the above and instead look at:


PROPOSAL: Disable Runtime PM when chip select is asserted

I think this proposal will be very easy and is pretty clean.
Basically go into "rockchip_spi_set_cs()" and adjust the
"pm_runtime_get_sync()" and "pm_runtime_put_sync()" calls.  Only call
the "get_sync" at the top of the function if you're asserting the chip
select (and it wasn't already asserted).  Only call the "put_sync" at
the bottom of the function if you're deasserting the chip select (and
it wasn't already deasserted).
hmm, looks like a better way to solve this, but i think we need to call pm_runtime_get_sync unconditionally to make sure the read ser register safe.

This should avoid entering PM sleep any time a transaction is midway
through happening.

Secondly, make sure that the chip selects have a pullup on them (they
already do).  When you Runtime PM then the SPI part will stop driving
the pins and the pull will take effect.  Since we can only Runtime PM
when the chip select is deasserted then this pull will always be
correct.  Also: since we Runtime PM when the chip select is deasserted
then the state of the other pins isn't terribly important (though to
avoid leakage it's probably good to choose a sane pull).


How does that sound?  It should only be a few lines of code and only one patch.

sounds good, new patch sent(https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9808601)
