Hi Stefan,

Thank for the testing.

This series just introduces five extra patches for dropping include
directives from Makefiles (suggested by Greg KH) and rebased.

The main patch (6/6) removes platform device/driver abuse and moves
things to standard device/driver model using a custom_bus. Specific
details are elaborated in the commit message.

The patch series is based on top of d514392f17fd (tag: next-20230120)
of linux-next.

applied this series on top of linux-next and build it with arm/multi_v7_defconfig plus the following:

CONFIG_BCM_VIDEOCORE=y
CONFIG_BCM2835_VCHIQ=m
CONFIG_VCHIQ_CDEV=y
CONFIG_SND_BCM2835=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_BCM2835=m
CONFIG_BCM2835_VCHIQ_MMAL=m

and the devices doesn't register on Raspberry Pi 3 B Plus:

[   25.523337] vchiq: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned. [   25.541647] bcm2835_vchiq 3f00b840.mailbox: Failed to register bcm2835_audio vchiq device [   25.553692] bcm2835_vchiq 3f00b840.mailbox: Failed to register bcm2835-camera vchiq device

I was able to reproduce and it seems the issue here is the change mentioned in the cover

- drop dma_set_mask_and_coherent

in V6.

(I usually test patches on RPi 4B with vcsm-cma and bcm2835-isp applied so my branch has the DMA hunk included while I was testing V6)

just to avoid misunderstandings, did you read drivers/staging/vc04_services/interface/TESTING ?

The Raspberry Pi 4 is currently not fully supported for VCHIQ in mainline. From my limited understanding the DMA controller driver needs 40 bit support, so VCHIQ on BCM2711 can use it. This part is currently only available in the vendor tree. The reason why the driver is unexpectedly probing is a historical issue in the devicetree :-(

Raspberry Pi 4 support is not considered as necessary for moving out of staging.


Below is the hunk which should resolve the issue.

It seems we need to include the dma_set_mask_and_coherent() even if bcm2835-audio, bcm2835-camera device doesn't do DMA? I need to look into why is that/

 Laurent, any thoughts on this please?
