Implement common API for clock/DPLL configuration and status reporting.
The API utilises netlink interface as transport for commands and event
notifications. This API aim to extend current pin configuration and
make it flexible and easy to cover special configurations.

Netlink interface is based on ynl spec, it allows use of in-kernel
tools/net/ynl/cli.py application to control the interface with properly
formated command and json attribute strings. Here are few command
examples of how it works with `ice` driver on supported NIC:

- dump dpll devices
$# ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/dpll.yaml \
--dump device-get
[{'clock-id': 282574471561216,
  'id': 0,
  'lock-status': 'unlocked',
  'mode': 'automatic',
  'module-name': 'ice',
  'type': 'eec'},
 {'clock-id': 282574471561216,
  'id': 1,
  'lock-status': 'unlocked',
  'mode': 'automatic',
  'module-name': 'ice',
  'type': 'pps'}]

- get single pin info:
$# ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/dpll.yaml \
--do pin-get --json '{"pin-id":2}'
{'clock-id': 282574471561216,
 'module-name': 'ice',
 'pin-board-label': 'C827_0-RCLKA',
 'pin-dpll-caps': 6,
 'pin-frequency': 1953125,
 'pin-id': 2,
 'pin-parenti-device': [{'id': 0,
                         'pin-direction': 'input',
                         'pin-prio': 11,
                         'pin-state': 'selectable'},
                        {'id': 1,
                         'pin-direction': 'input',
                         'pin-prio': 9,
                         'pin-state': 'selectable'}],
 'pin-type': 'mux'}

- set pin's state on dpll:
$# ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/dpll.yaml \
--do pin-set --json '{"pin-id":2, "pin-parent-device":{"id":1, "pin-state":2}}'

- set pin's prio on dpll:
$# ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/dpll.yaml \
--do pin-set --json '{"pin-id":2, "pin-parent-device":{"id":1, "pin-prio":4}}'

- set pin's state on parent pin:
$# ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/dpll.yaml \
--do pin-set --json '{"pin-id":13, \
                      "pin-parent-pin":{"pin-id":2, "pin-state":1}}'

 * pin object:
   - pin xarray uses id provided by the driver
   - remove usage of PIN_IDX_INVALID in set function
   - source_pin_get() returns object instead of idx
   - fixes in frequency support API
 * device and pin operations are const now
 * small fixes in naming in Makefile and in the functions

 * no special *_priv() helpers anymore, private data is passed as void*
 * no netlink filters by name anymore, only index is supported
 * update ptp_ocp and ice drivers to follow new API version
 * add mlx5e driver as a new customer of the subsystem
v5 -> v6:
 * rework pin part to better fit shared pins use cases
 * add YAML spec to easy generate user-space apps
 * simple implementation in ptp_ocp is back again
v4 -> v5:
 * fix code issues found during last reviews:
   - replace cookie with clock id
   - follow one naming schema in dpll subsys
   - move function comments to dpll_core.c, fix exports
   - remove single-use helper functions
   - merge device register with alloc

     dump netlink request. Clock class is assigned by driver allocating
     a dpll device. Clock class values are defined as specified in:
     ITU-T G.8273.2/Y.1368.2 recommendation.
   - dpll device naming schema use new pattern:
     "dpll_%s_%d_%d", where:
       - %s - dev_name(parent) of parent device,
       - %d (1) - enum value of dpll type,
       - %d (2) - device index provided by parent device.
   - new muxed/shared pin registration:
     Let the kernel module to register a shared or muxed pin without
     finding it or its parent. Instead use a parent/shared pin
     description to find correct pin internally in dpll_core, simplifing
     a dpll API

I don't understand. The discussion in the RFCv8 thread is still going
on. The things I mentioned there are ignored. Like for example:
1) mode_set op removal
2) odd ice dpll locking scheme (either fix or describe why it is ok -
				that's the unfinished discussion)
3) header file bits squash I suggested. Vadim wrote that it sounds
   reasonable, yet nothing changed

I thought we are past this. Why I have to point the same issues over and
over?

FWIW I'm lost in the previous thread, so for me there's value in
refreshing the series.

But you're right, at the very least there should be a summary of
outstanding issues / open items / ongoing discussions in the cover
letter.

Well I would like to conclude discussion in one thread before sending
the next one. What should I do? Should I start the same discussion
pointing out the same issues in this thread again? This can't work.

Even concluded items are ignored, like 3)

IDK, this is very frustrating for me. I have to double check everything
just in case it was not ignored. I don't understand this, there is no
justification.

Yes, the open items need to be clearly stated on a new posting.

You are missing removal of pin->prop.package_label = dev_name(dev); in
ice.

I have implemented in ice (also added back the DPLL_MODE_FREERUN).

Removed.

Hope Vadim will decide on this, the thing is merging in two patches
doesn't make much sense as there won't be any linking until both patches
are there, so most sense it would be if 3 are merged into one, but
then we will be back to one big blob patch issue.

Fixed.

Added few things on this matter
- 1 dpll level attribute:
  - phase-shift - measuring the phase difference between dpll input
    and it's output
- 1 dpll-pin tuple level attribute:
  - pin-phase-adjust - set/get phase adjust of a pin on a dpll
- 2 pin level attributes:
  - pin-phase-adjust-min - provide user with min value that can be set
  - pin-phase-adjust-max - provide user with max value that can be set
- a constant:
  - DPLL_PHASE_SHIFT_DIVIDER similar to DPLL_TEMP_DIVIDER for producing
    fraction value of measured DPLL_A_PHASE_SHIFT
- implemented in dpll netlink and in ice

I didn't touch it, as we still need to discuss it, Jakub didn't respond
on v8 thread.
I don't see why we shall not name it the way. This is most meaningful
label for those pins for the user right now.

Again, why do we need this in this initial submission? Why it can't be a
follow-up patchset to extend this? This way we never converge :/
Please focus on what we have now and bring it in. Let the extensions to
be addressed later on, please.

This is not meaningful, at all. dev_name() changes upon which pci slot
you plug the card into. package_label should be an actual label on a
silicon package. Why you think this two are related in aby way, makes me
really wonder. Could you elaborate the meaningfulness of this?

Without mode-set there is no need for device-set at all, right?
So it is better to implement at least one set command, so we don't
need remove device-set command entirely.

Without this, from end-user perspective, it would be very confusing.
As in ice without any label there would 4 pins which differs only with id.
What names would you suggest?

The enum cmd valu could stay as a placeholder, the rest can go.

They need it for the initial submission? Why? Why can't they wait 1 week
for follow-up patchset?

There you go, it does not have any label, yet you are trying hard to
make up some. Does not make sense.


>What names would you suggest?

That is the point I made previously. For synce usecase, the label does
not make sense. There should be no label. You reference the pin by ID
from netdev, that is enough.

I think better to add the check to pin-register so future synce pin
users don't have similar weird ideas. Could you please add this check?

It doesn't make much sense to have a command which is not implemented, same
as you wanted to remove enum values which are not used.

Probably best if they could respond here, though I know they are waiting for
the dpll interface for a long time already.

Don't get this, they have the label, but you ask to remove it..

Yea I understand, you are trying to hide this information from the user,
while I am trying not to hide anything, and let the user know all the
information can be somehow useful, this is the difference.

The one might want to ask how label indicating internal pin label is useful,
it is transparency, the label is there for identification nothing else.

You mean SyncE use case where a software daemon controls the dpll for
SyncE implementation, and this is already implemented and works as you
described.

Don't think it is way to go, and I don't think there is anything good
with preventing device drivers from labeling their pins the way they want.

I don't understand why all the pins shall be targeted differently then SyncE
ones, I mean the SyncE pins are special case (of dpll subsystem), and for that
case, they are also targetable by netdevice, but what I don't understand is
why they shall be only targetable with netdevice, they are still part of dpll
subsystem not a SyncE subsystem, and with this understanding shall be
targetable like all the other pins. While without the label this will not be
possible.

Thank you!

We had a long argument about how label should have a clearly defined
meaning. We're not going to rehash it on every revision. What did 
I miss :|

Well, as I understand we are discussing if dpll subsystem shall prevent
labeling the SyncE type pins. I have labeled them in ice explicitly with
the name of a pci device they belong to.

You haven't miss much, mostly the problem is described in this thread.

Thank you!
