It all looks too complex and I don't see any other phy bindings needing something this complex. Rob

As described in the description below, the "index" is the protocol controller suffix, corresponding to a particular field (or set of fields) in the protocol configuration registers. > If we do end up needing > it, 'reg' is generally how we address some component. I originally used reg, but I got warnings about inheriting #size-cells and #address-cells. These bindings are already quite verbose to write out (there are around 10-20 configurations per SerDes to describe) and I would like to minimize the amount of properties to what is necessary. Additionally, this really describes a particular index of a field, and not a register (or an offset within a register). >> + $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32 >> + description: | >> + The index of the field.

For three reasons. First, because we need to know what protocols are valid on what lanes. The idea is to allow the MAC to configure the protocols at runtime. To do this, someone has to figure out if the protocol is supported on that lane. The best place to put this IMO is the serdes. Second, some serdes have (mostly) unsupported protocols such as PCIe as well as Ethernet protocols. To allow using Ethernet, we need to know which lanes are configured (by the firmware/bootloader) for some other protocol. That way, we can avoid touching them. Third, as part of the probe sequence, we need to ensure that no protocol controllers are currently selected. Otherwise, we will get strange problems later when we try to connect multiple protocol controllers to the same lane. >> + >> + fsl,proto: >> + $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/string >> + enum: >> + - sgmii >> + - sgmii25 >> + - qsgmii >> + - xfi >> + - pcie >> + - sata > > We have standard phy modes already for at least most of these types. > Generally the mode is set in the phy cells. Yes, but this is the "protocol" which may correspond to multiple phy modes. For example, sgmii25 allows SGMII, 1000BASE-X, 1000BASE-KR, and 2500BASE-X phy modes. >> + description: | >> + Indicates the basic group protocols supported by this field. >> + Individual protocols are selected by configuring the protocol >> + controller. >> + >> + - sgmii: 1000BASE-X, SGMII, and 1000BASE-KX (depending on the >> + SoC) >> + - sgmii25: 2500BASE-X, 1000BASE-X, SGMII, and 1000BASE-KX >> + (depending on the SoC) >> + - qsgmii: QSGMII >> + - xfi: 10GBASE-R and 10GBASE-KR (depending on the SoC) >> + - pcie: PCIe >> + - sata: SATA >> + >> + patternProperties: >> + '^cfg-': >> + type: object >> + >> + description: | >> + A single field may have multiple values which, when programmed, >> + connect the protocol controller to different lanes.

This is touched on a bit above, but the idea here is to allow for dynamic reconfiguration of the serdes mode in order to support multiple ethernet phy modes at runtime. To do this, we need to know about all the available protocol controllers, and the lanes they support. In particular, the available controllers and the lanes they map to (and the values to program to select them) differ even between different serdes on the same SoC. > It all looks too complex and I don't see any other > phy bindings needing something this complex. This was explicitly asked for last time. I also would not like to do this, but you and Krzysztof Kozlowski were very opposed to having per-device compatible strings. If you have a suggestion for a different approach, I am all ears. I find it very frustrating that the primary feedback I get from the device tree folks is "you can't do this" without a corresponding "do it this way." --Sean

How much time do you expect that we spend on your binding which is only 1 out of the 100-200 patches we get a week? We're not experts in all kinds of h/w and the experts for specific h/w don't always care about DT bindings. We often get presented with solutions without sufficient explanations of the problem. If I don't understand the problem, how can I propose a solution? We can only point out what doesn't fit within normal DT patterns. PHYs with multiple modes supported is not a unique problem, so why are existing ways to deal with that not sufficient and why do you need a *very* specific binding? With the phy binding, you know what each lane is connected to. You can put whatever information you want in the phy cells to configure the phy for that client. The phy cells are defined by the provider and opaque to the consumer. Yes, we like to standardize cells when possible, but that's only a convenience. I'm not saying phy cells is the answer for everything and define 10 cells worth of data either. Rob

Why don't you just ignore > the !ethernet ones? That's what I try to do. However, non-ethernet modes can use the same lanes as ethernet modes. So we need to know how the protocol selection registers are laid out, and what bits select which lanes. Although the general layout is mostly the same [1], the mapping is specific to the individual serdes on the individual SoC. [1] Occasionally, the layout of registers changes between different SoC revisions. Usually this is because one of the registers ran out of bits. >> Third, as part of the probe sequence, we need to ensure that no protocol controllers >> are currently selected.

Of course, but this stuff has to come from somewhere. Due to the second reason above we can't just clear out all the PCCRs. We need to know whether a lane is in use or not, >> >> >> + >> >> + fsl,proto: >> >> + $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/string >> >> + enum: >> >> + - sgmii >> >> + - sgmii25 >> >> + - qsgmii >> >> + - xfi >> >> + - pcie >> >> + - sata >> > >> > We have standard phy modes already for at least most of these types. >> > Generally the mode is set in the phy cells. >> >> Yes, but this is the "protocol" which may correspond to multiple phy modes. >> For example, sgmii25 allows SGMII, 1000BASE-X, 1000BASE-KR, and 2500BASE-X >> phy modes. > > As phy mode is more specific than protocol (or mode implies protocol), > why do we need protocol in DT? The protocol (along with the PCCR and the protocol controller index) is used to determine the bitmask for a particular selector. For example, PCCR1 on the T1040 has the following layout: Bits Field name ===== ========== 0- 1 SGMIIA_CFG 2- 3 SGMIIB_CFG 4- 5 SGMIIC_CFG 6- 7 SGMIID_CFG 8- 9 SGMIIE_CFG 10-11 SGMIIF_CFG 12-15 Reserved 16 SGMIIA_KX 17 SGMIIB_KX 18 SGMIIC_KX 19 SGMIID_KX 20 SGMIIE_KX 21 SGMIIF_KX 22-23 Reserved 24-25 QSGMA_CFG 26-27 Reserved 28-29 QSGMB_CFG 30-31 Reserved Note that the KX bit (determining whether 1000BASE-X/SGMII or 1000BASE-KX is enabled) is not contiguous with the CFG field. Instead, the "index" of the protocol controller is used to determine the correct max to use for the CFG field as well as the KX bit. Also note that this register is inhomogeneous. Just the "index" is not enough: we need to know what the protocol is as well. > [...] > >> >> + xfi-1 { >> >> + fsl,index = <1>; >> >> + fsl,cfg = <0x1>; >> >> + fsl,first-lane = <0>; >> >> + fsl,proto = "xfi"; >> >> + }; >> >> + }; >> >> + }; >> > >> > Other than lane assignments and modes, I don't really understand what >> > you are trying to do. >> >> This is touched on a bit above, but the idea here is to allow for dynamic >> reconfiguration of the serdes mode in order to support multiple ethernet >> phy modes at runtime.

I appreciate the work you do on this. But every revision I make without knowing whether I'm on the right track wastes both of our time. I have to spend my time coming up with and implementing a new binding and you have to spend time reviewing it. A nudge in the right direction can easily save us both time. > We're not experts in all kinds of h/w and the experts for specific h/w > don't always care about DT bindings.

Well, take for example xlnx,zynqmp-psgtr. Although it is not obvious from the binding, there are several things which simplify the driver. First, all the modes are completely incompatible. Any consumer will not need to switch modes at runtime. Second, there is only one GTR device per SoC. That means that the compatible string which completely determines the available modes. The mode/lane mapping can be stored in the driver instead of in the device tree. Last, there is only one variant of this device. There are no other SoCs with slightly different register layout, mode support, or lanes. To contrast with this device, there are several almost-compatible modes. We cannot just set the mode at boot and be done with it (in fact this is exactly what I am trying to change by adding a driver). Some modes are so similar that they reuse protocol controllers, but they still need to have different lane configuration. There are multiple different SerDes devices on each SoC. While they have the same register layout, the connected protocol controllers (and lane mapping) is different. There are also different SoCs with (ever-so-slightly) different register layouts, protocol controllers, and lane mappings. All of this sort of information would normally just be stored in the driver as a set of struct arrays. In fact, this is what I did the first time! > With the phy binding, you know what each lane is connected to.

Maybe it's better to do something like // first-lane last-lane protocol pccr idx val phys = <&serdes1 1 1 PHY_TYPE_SGMII 0x8 2 1>, <&serdes1 1 1 PHY_TYPE_QSGMII 0x9 0 2>, <&serdes1 1 1 PHY_TYPE_10GBASER 0xb 1 1>; phy-names = "sgmii", "qsgmii", "xfi"; (made up values) But this doesn't play well with the existing idiom of being able to call phy_set_mode(). Plus, existing drivers expect to have one (devicetree) phy for one physical serdes. What about phys = <&serdes1_lane1>; and then under the serdes node do something like serdes1: phy@foo { ... serdes1_lane1 { first-lane = <1>; sgmii { fsl,pccr = <0x8>; fsl,idx = <2>; fsl,cfg = <1>; fsl,proto = "sgmii"; // or PHY_TYPE_SGMII }; qsgmii { ... }; xfi { ... }; }; }; and this way you could have something like a fsl,reserved property to deal with not-yet-supported lanes. And this could be added piecemeal by board configs. --Sean

Am I heading in the right direction? This seems to be a more common approach (e.g. mediatek,tphy). --Sean

This adds a binding for the SerDes module found on QorIQ processors. The phy reference has two cells, one for the first lane and one for the last. This should allow for good support of multi-lane protocols when (if) they are added. There is no protocol option, because the driver is designed to be able to completely reconfigure lanes at runtime. Generally, the phy consumer can select the appropriate protocol using set_mode. For the most part there is only one protocol controller (consumer) per lane/protocol combination. The exception to this is the B4860 processor, which has some lanes which can be connected to multiple MACs. For that processor, I anticipate the easiest way to resolve this will be to add an additional cell with a "protocol controller instance" property. Each serdes has a unique set of supported protocols (and lanes). The support matrix is configured in the device tree. The format of each PCCR (protocol configuration register) is modeled. Although the general format is typically the same across different SoCs, the specific supported protocols (and the values necessary to select them) are particular to individual SerDes. A nested structure is used to reduce duplication of data. There are two PLLs, each of which can be used as the master clock for each lane. Each PLL has its own reference. For the moment they are required, because it simplifies the driver implementation. Absent reference clocks can be modeled by a fixed-clock with a rate of 0. Signed-off-by: Sean Anderson <sean.anderson@seco.com> --- Changes in v3: - Manually expand yaml references - Add mode configuration to device tree Changes in v2: - Rename to fsl,lynx-10g.yaml - Refer to the device in the documentation, rather than the binding - Move compatible first - Document phy cells in the description - Allow a value of 1 for phy-cells. This allows for compatibility with the similar (but according to Ioana Ciornei different enough) lynx-28g binding. - Remove minItems - Use list for clock-names - Fix example binding having too many cells in regs - Add #clock-cells. This will allow using assigned-clocks* to configure the PLLs. - Document the structure of the compatible strings .../devicetree/bindings/phy/fsl,lynx-10g.yaml | 311 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 311 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/phy/fsl,lynx-10g.yaml
