Looks good. PWM_POLARITY_INVERSED confused me when I was working in this area
recently. After applying to master there's no more instances of
PWM_POLARITY_INVERSED in the source tree.

Thanks for the feedback, Claudiu.

I thought about it and decided not to change the ABI, as this change
can impact lots of user-land applications.
As a minimum, I can push this change as a separate patch to be able to
revert the change of ABI only.
What do you think?

It isn't misspelled. "inversed" is a synonym for "inverted". Both
spellings are correct.

And as you noted in the cover letter, there's a conflict between the
macro defined in dt-bindings/pwm/pwm.txt. If they end up being included
in the wrong order you'll get a compile error.

The enum was named this way on purpose to make it separate from the
definition for the DT bindings. Note that DT bindings are an ABI and can
never change, whereas the enum pwm_polarity is part of a Linux internal
API and doesn't have the same restrictions as an ABI.

As far as I'm concerned this is completely unnecessary churn that's
potentially going to come back and bite us, so I see no reason to accept
this.

Some time ago I stumbled about "inversed", too. My spell checker doesn't
know it and I checked some dictionaries and none of them knew that word:

https://www.lexico.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&filter=dictionary&dictionary=en&query=inversed
https://de.pons.com/%C3%BCbersetzung/englisch-deutsch/inversed
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/spellcheck/english-german/?q=inversed

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/inverse#Verb mentions "inverse" as a verb
having "inversed" as past participle.

Having said this I think (independent of the question if "inversed"
exists) using two similar terms for the same thing just results in
confusion. I hit that in the past already and I like it being addressed.

There are also other symbols that exist twice (GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH was the
first to come to my mind). I'm not aware of any problems related to
these. What am I missing?

Then please let's make it different by picking a different prefix or
something like that.

I thought only binary device trees (dtb) are supposed to be ABI.

This patch is a part of the patchset, which in result removes enum at all,
so there will be no definition conflict.

AFAIU, DTS files are not a part of ABI.

I understand that enums are better than macros for some reasons.
However, I think it is dangerous to use duplicate definitions in
different places when values of these definitions use in the same
code.
So, given that the enum cannot be used in DT, I left only macros.

You personally wrote that the enum pwm_polarity can change, so the
desynchronization I quite possible.

Here are the first three results from a Google query:

	https://www.yourdictionary.com/inversed
	https://www.dictionary.com/browse/inversed
	https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/inversed

I don't know. It's pretty common to use different words for the same
thing. They're called synonyms.

There's currently no problem, obviously. But if for some reason the
include files end up being included in a different order (i.e. the
dt-bindings header is included before linux/pwm.h) then the macro will
be evaluated and result in something like:

	enum pwm_polarity {
		PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL,
		1,
	};

and that's not valid C, so will cause a build error.

Again, seems to me like unnecessary churn. Feel free to propose
something, but I recall being in the same position at the time and this
was the best I could come up with.

Yes, the DTB is the ABI. dt-bindings/pwm/pwm.h is used to generate DTBs,
which basically makes it ABI as well. Yes, the symbol name may not be
part of the ABI, but changing the symbol becomes very inconvenient
because everyone that depends on it would have to change. Why bother?

My point is that enum pwm_polarity is an API in the kernel and hence its
easy to change or extend. But since that is not the same for the DTB, we
need to be careful what from the internal kernel API leaks into the DTB.
That's why they are different symbols, so that it is clear that what's
in dt-bindings/pwm/pwm.h is the ABI.

There is something fishy. In the Verb section it says indeed, that it is
the past participle and simple past of inverse. The entry for inverse
however only has sections that identify this word as adjective or noun;
not a verb.

> 	https://www.dictionary.com/browse/inversed

Not sure I'd count this as hint that inversed exists. The entry shown to
me under this URL is about "inverse" and it has

	verb (used with object), in·versed, in·vers·ing.
		? to invert.

Does this mean: "Did you mean invert instead?"

> 	https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/inversed

Yeah, that's the one I found, too.

I still have the impression that "inversed" is in use because people
don't know better and understand the intended meaning. And this results
in leaking of this word into the references.

In literature yes, I agree. In a novel it is annoying to repeat the same
words over and over again and some variation is good. In programming
however the goal is a different one. There the goal should be to be
precise and consistent.

I admit I didn't look closely here and I assume you are right. If I
understand Oleksandr right this is only an intermediate step and when
the series is applied completely this issue is gone. Still it might be
worth to improve the series here.

My original question was about similar problems with GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH.
Are you aware of problems there?

We disagree here. With this argument you could fix quite some things as
ABI.

Oleksandr adapted all in-tree users, so it only affects out-of-tree
users. In my book this is fine.

To make the API more precise and consistent. That's a good goal in my
eyes.

Thierry, I see the PWM core converts the bit field "third cell" into
the polarity variable.
Now I probably understand your sight and agree that we shouldn't give
the same names to bits in bitfield (dts) and values of a variable.

But there are lots of useless "0" values of third cell of "pwms"
option in dts files.

I see 2 ways now:
- just remove all "0" "third cell" from "pwms" options in dts files. I
see this "0" confuses some people.
- convert pwm_state.polarity into pwm_state.flags and use bitfield
directly from dtb.
  It simplifies the parsing logic and makes adding new flags easier.

What do think?

Then you have to overwrite pwm-cells of the provider. If there are two
PWMs used from the same provider and only one is inverted this won't
work. (Not entirely sure I understood your suggestion.) So I don't like
this suggestion.

And also in my eyes this isn't clearer, just more complicated to use.

*shrug*, I don't care much.

Good point, agree. But we still have the unnamed "0".

What about renaming the dt-bindings macro PWM_POLARITY_INVERTED
and add the new one for the normal polarity?
Like PWM_FLAG_POLARITY_NORMAL / PWM_FLAG_POLARITY_INVERTED or
DT_PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL / DT_PWM_POLARITY_INVERTED?

Using different prefix will prevent interfering names of enum and
macros in the future
and will allow using the named nop-flag PWM_FLAG_POLARITY_NORMAL in dts.

We also need to make sure that things don't break. It's a very bad idea
to have a macro with the same name as an enum value for reasons I stated
before. I think that's the most important thing here.

Also, if inversed is a synonym of inverted, we don't loose any precision
at all. All you have to remember is that you're dealing with a device
tree constant in one case and an API enumeration in the other.

So I think the current form is actually more precise, though I guess it
could be confusing if you don't care about the difference.

The problem exists there equally. We're probably not running into it
because drivers don't end up including dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h and
include/linux/gpio/machine.h at the same time. Or they end up always
including them in the right order.

For PWM the situation is slightly more complicated because we only have
one header for the kernel API, so the likelihood of including it along
with the dt-bindings header is increased compared to GPIO.

There used to be a time when it was assumed that eventually device tree
sources would live outside of the kernel tree. Given that they are a HW
description, they really ought not to be relying on the Linux kernel
tree as a way of keeping them consistent. That's really only out of
convenience.

PWM_POLARITY_INVERTED is not part of the API. It doesn't exist for
anything other than to make the device tree more readable.

I now regret that we ever introduced this in the first place. Perhaps it
would've been better to just deal with raw numbers instead.

Yes. And if there were other fields in that third cell, there'd be other
variables that would be derived from those.

These aren't useless 0 values. 0 doesn't mean "don't care", it's a very
specific value. In this case it implies that the polarity is "normal".
That's very useful if you have a PWM controller that can set the
polarity.

Some drivers already do this by supporting 2-cell and 3-cell specifiers.
Not everyone does this and they shouldn't need to. The bindings are very
clear about what to do with that third cell and how to parse it. It's
just a matter of reading and understanding the bindings. It's not
exactly rocket science, so why do we have to jump through hoops to try
and simplify it?

And then you have to go and and parsing code everywhere to deal with
these new flags. I prefer to have this parsing code in the core where
it's written once and used everywhere, instead of letting drivers deal
with flags that they might interpret wrongly.

Also remember that the third cell may be extended in the future and not
all data in in may end up being a simple flag.

And I'm entirely on your side here.

You might have missed it, but that's OK for me, too. And note that after
applying the whole series the enum is gone and so the problem. (First
hunk of include/linux/pwm.h in patch 5.)

grep doesn't know about synonyms, so if I grep for stuff about inverted
PWMs in the kernel I completely miss one half as it's called inversed
there. (Yeah sure, I can also grep for "inversed|inverted", but therefor
I have to know first that both are used interchangable here.)

That's a bit like a schematic that has "RESET#" in one place and
"nRESET" in an other. If you stumble about that you wonder if they are
two different names for the same signal or if they are actually two
different ones.

Have you ever read a specification that described some property, gave it
a name and then later used a synonym to describe it? In my eyes that's a
bad idea.

Everything you need to remember (or learn) about a subsystem makes it
harder work with it.

If there is a technical need to have different names that's one thing.
But using synonyms to differentiate them is not optimal. Then please
let's have names where looking at the identifier makes it obvious which
is for the device trees and which for the API enum.

I don't understand why you proved something here. I didn't doubt this.

Oh, that's worse than I expected. There are two .c files that include
dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h:

	drivers/rtc/rtc-omap.c
	drivers/tty/serial/omap-serial.c

So the definition isn't even used in the gpio core to parse dt-stuff.
(And both files don't use any definition of that file :-|)

If a consumer or provider includes the dt-bindings file there is
something fishy. (Still catching this with a compiler message better
than "expected identifier before ‘(’ token" would be good.)

I don't want to follow your argument that dt-bindings/pwm/pwm.h is ABI
as well. device tree binaries follow an ABI (similar to machine code),
but the compiler and the source code (including headers) are not.

The other way round however is fine, isn't it? So use the dt definition
in the kernel should be ok.
