This patch adds the required pieces to 8250-OMAP UART driver for DMA
support. The TX burst size is set to 1 so we can send an arbitrary
amount of bytes.

The RX burst is currently set to 48 which means we receive an DMA
interrupt every 48 bytes and have to reprogram everything. Less bytes in
the RX-FIFO mean that no DMA transfer will happen and the UART will send a
RX-timeout _or_ RDI event at which point the FIFO will be manually purged.
There is a workaround for TX-DMA on AM33xx where we put the first byte
into the FIFO to kick start the DMA process. Haven't seen this problem on
OMAP3 (beagle bone) or DRA7xx.

Hmm I wonder if there's a more generic solution to this?

It would be also nice to be able to specify the use of DMA from
the board specific .dts file.

Also, with DMA enabled, looks like omap deeper idle states are
blocked as the DMA stays reserved. After I commented out the
DMA info for my console UART, PM started working.

Regards,

Tony

To what exactly? The trigger level, the TX-bug or using DMA in the
first place?

Really? I don't see this requirement for MMC for instance. However you
still could provide an empty "dma-names" property in your board .dts
file if you do not want use DMA. Would this work?

Hmm. This would explain something. This would mean that I should cancel
the RX DMA transfer in the PM-suspend routine. Let me see how that
works.

Oh sorry, I meant to having to do of_property_count_strings to
figure out if it's correct or not.

OK yeah that works. And that's needed mostly because of the issue
below.

OK and if the DMA works with PM, then I don't see why we would not
want to have it automatically enabled.

BTW, looks like the ports move around now though. If set a port
to disabled with status = "disabled"; in the .dts file, you'll get
a different console which does not happen with omap-serial I believe.

I re-did that part where the registers are restored. Mostly for that
reason to use function in runtime_resume() as in set_termios(). I think
that is cute :) _And_ if somebody changes here something and breaks it
then it doesn't work with and without runtime-pm. It looks like the
omap-serial doesn't restore the XON1 & XOFF1 registers.

While at it I made sure that it works as good as I could and that means:

core_pwrdm
(ON),OFF:182,RET:21,INA:131,ON:335,RET-LOGIC-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK1-OFF:0,RET-MEMBANK2-OFF:0

The core off part with DMA looks like a no no:
I #if 0 the block in where it assigned up.dma. With this I hit
core-off. Step two was

|static void omap8250_update_scr(struct uart_8250_port *up,
|                 struct omap8250_priv *priv)
|{
|serial_out(up, UART_OMAP_SCR, priv->scr | OMAP_UART_SCR_DMAMODE_CTL);
|serial_out(up, UART_OMAP_SCR, priv->scr | OMAP_UART_SCR_DMAMODE_CTL |
OMAP_UART_SCR_DMAMODE_1);
|serial_out(up, UART_OMAP_SCR, priv->scr | |OMAP_UART_SCR_DMAMODE_CTL);
|serial_out(up, UART_OMAP_SCR, priv->scr);
|}

which means I just enable DMA mode in UART and disable it. No DMA
operations were performed.
With this change I see a lost character now and then which means the
UART-IP goes into off and loses its context. Good. However I don't see
core off anymore. This looks like a bug beyond my responsibilities :)

I added code to cancel & and start DMA transfers in runtime suspend
callbacks.
However core-off with DMA won't work. I think we could document this in
the binding document. What do you think?

You a right. I fixed it in the 8250-core code.

Hey that's great, that's the ultimate torture test here!
There's nothing like rebooting the system every time you hit
idle and still have drivers working :)

OK, that sounds like a bug still lurking around somewhere. The core
domain won't hit idle if there are any hardware pieces blocking.

Do you mean just the OMAP_UART_SCR_DMAMODE_CTL related code, or
also the dmaengine calls?

There should not be such a limitation though. Maybe dump out the values
of cm_idlest_per and cm_idlest1_core for working and failing off idle
cases and see what the difference is?

It could be the either the dma or the uart hardware blocking. I guess
it could be also an issue with runtime pm use somewhere.

Yes.

dmaengine calls are unused because up.dma is not assigned. It is 
basically like you wouldn't have the dma properties in the devicetree.
And while in that non-DMA mode I just set and unset the DMAMODE_CTL + 
DMAMODE_1 bits in the SCR register. Nothing else. Based on some testing
I just did, DMAMODE_CTL does not make the difference. DMAMODE_CTL +
DMAMODE_1 does.

so per_pwrdm and core_pwrdm remain on and I guess the former is where
the UART sits.

So I just toggle the two DMA bits in SCR and the UART seems to block
since the DMA hw is not involved. Reading SCR back says that those bits
are not set.
To use DMA you don't have to enable it in SCR register you can also use
the FCR register. The manual says that you can only write this DMA
enable bit in the FCR register if the baud clock is not running. And
guess what: same thing: I only *toggle* the DMA enable bit here (it
remains 0 later) and the core won't hit idle.
Same effect if I toggle this bit while the baud clock is running (the
manual says that this bit can only be written if the baud clock is not
running). Seems like the UART is following its own specification and it
remains blocking once the DMA was enabled.
It would be nice if someone from the UART-IP team could ACK this.

Bah. Does it make sense to use runtime-PM if we can't hit core-off? I'm
thinking to add a printk once dma is enabled says that runtime-pm is
switched off.
