From: Thor Thayer <tthayer@altera.com>

Addition of the Altera SDRAM controller bindings and device
tree changes to the Altera SoC project.

v2: Changes to SoC SDRAM EDAC code.

v3: Implement code suggestions for SDRAM EDAC code.

v4: Remove syscon from SDRAM controller bindings.

v5: No Change, bump version for consistency.

Get rid of that, too, please.

How about

		sdrctl@ffc25000 {
			compatible = "altr,sdr-ctl";
			reg = <0xffc25000 0x1000>;
			ranges;

			edac@ffc2502c {
				compatible = "altr,sdram-edac";
				reg = <0xffc2502c 0x50>;
				interrupts = <0 39 4>;
			};
		};

Then we can later add:

			sdr-ports: ports@ffc2507c {
				#reset-cells = <1>;
				compatible = "altr,sdr-ports";
				reg = <0xffc2507c 0x10>;
				clocks = <&ddr_dqs_clk>;
				...
			};

to use the reset-controller framework for the port resets.

Hi Steffan,

I believe I need to keep the "syscon". The same register (ctrlcfg)
that has the ECC enable bitfield also includes the DRAM configuration
bitfields that other drivers will want to access (specifically the
FPGA bridge needs this information). Since this register will be
shared between drivers,  syscon seems like the best solution.

I may be misunderstanding something so feel free to elaborate. Thanks
for reviewing.

Thor

Hm, from looking at the documentation of the ctrlcfg I can't really
understand which bits you would need for the FPGA brigde and why.
That all sounds like stuff you would want to set for the specific
RAM you are dealing with on a specific board.
What bridge are you talking about? The SDRAM bridge?

I can see the problem with the ECC enable, though.

Steffen

Hi Steffen,

I'll get more details from the guy working on the FPGA bridge when he
gets back in the office. When I started working on EDAC, that register
had been allocated by the FPGA bridge driver so we decided to use the
syscon to allow sharing of the register.

My understanding was that the FPGA bridge as an SDRAM master would
allow FPGA devices to access the SDRAM.  As part of that process, they
may want to read the SDRAM configuration.

I'll need to get more details from the driver developer because the
FPGA driver is in flux while the appropriate driver architecture is
being discussed.

Hi Steffen,

Offset 0x80 in the sdr-ctl is the "fpgaportrst" register.  14 bits
wide, defaults to 0.  When appropriate bits set to 1 in that reg, it
allows an FPGA port to come out of reset (enables that port).  Has no
other effect on SDRAM configuration.

Yes, the port allows the FPGA a direct path to the SDRAM.  This one
register the only register in the sdr that the bridge driver needs.

The FPGA bridge driver doesn't look at the SDRAM configuration.  It
just wants access to this one register so it can enable or disable the
FPGA path to SDRAM.  The only function of this bridge driver is to
enable/disable the bridge.

... here should work. No?! Just a simple driver that registers with the
reset-framework. I would add 0x7c to that driver and than that driver could
"configure" the port and let it out of reset.

I have done the same thing for the other 3 bridges, but am not finished yet.
Especially the GPV-stuff needs to at least be able to be added later if not now.

Steffen

Hi Steffen!

I'm not clear on how the EDAC driver will interact with the registers
allocated to the SDRAM controller. If the group of registers from
0xffc25000 to 0xffc26000 is exclusively allocated to the SDRAM
controller, how does the EDAC driver cleanly access that single
register inside this range?

Is the solution that I don't use request_region() (and therefore not
request exclusive access) when setting up the SDRAM controller?

If you could point me to your drivers for the other bridges that you
reference, your code may answer my question.

Thanks for your comments and insight.

The compatible in the example is wrong. I didn't mean to map the whole address space
to some driver.
I think for the configuration register syscon is the right approach. It is a
bag of bits that don't necessitate an own driver, so syscon is perfect.

So, let me change my proposal to

	sdr-ctl: sdram@ffc25000 {
		compatible = "altr,sdr-ctl", "syscon";
		reg = <0xffc25000 0x1>;
	};

	edac: edac@ffc2502c {
		compatible = "altr,sdram-edac";
		reg = <0xffc2502c 0x50>;
		interrupts = <0 39 4>;
		config = <&sdr-ctl>;
		...
	};

	sdr-ports: ports@ffc2507c {
		compatible = "altr,sdr-ports";
		reg = <0xffc2507c 0x10>;
		clocks = <&ddr_dqs_clk>;
		...
	};

Maybe we can just skip the outer node that combines all the others.
So, if we do it like that, you can still use syscon, but only for the register
that needs it. And the EDAC definitely needs access to the config register, so
all is good.

The other bridges don't need access to any SDRAM controller registers and
I haven't even started to implement the GPV-stuff with the lw2hps-bridge :-(

Thank you for your help on this, Steffen. It is good to have your
insight. I'll implement the changes and resubmit shortly.

OK now I understand.  For register offset 0x0, that's all stuff set up
in the bootloader.  We won't be touching that register except for the
EDAC.  So syscon isn't needed here.

Each driver that uses some sdr registers can specify which registers
it uses in the device tree.  So far we don't have any cases of two
drivers that share a register.

The ECC driver will need two ranges: offset 0x00 and 0x38 through 0x50.
The fpga bridges just needs offset 0x80.

Thanks for your feedback!

Well, almost ;-)
Use syscon for 0x0 and reference that in the ECC driver, which only is
responsible for 0x38 to 0x50. Then flip the two EDAC bits via the syscon-phandle.
Then a bootloader can probe with the same dts and have a driver match on the
config-register and one for all the DRAM setup (< 0x38), which we don't need in
the kernel. On the other hand the EDAC seems unneccessary for the bootloader.
And this all matches the partitioning of the SDR register space, so I think it
is also a correct hardware description.

Steffen

Very good. I'm happy that we could come to a conclusion we are all okay with.

We could do that.  But is syscon a concept the bootloader will know about?

Actually it is a bit messier than what I originally said:
 ECC driver needs two ranges: offset 0x00 and 0x38 through 0x50.
 Machine layer needs control of 0x10, 0x14, 0x54, and 0x58 for putting
SDRAM into self-refresh.
 fpga bridges needs offset 0x80.

Depends on the bootloader. I guess u-boot doesn't, but barebox does.
Alternative would be to have the bootloader know that it has to look for an
ECC node when it instead is looking for DRAM timing/width/... setup.
Sounds wrong to me.

I didn't get that. Does the ECC driver need access to this "machine layer"?

OK then we will want offset 0 to be 'syscon'.

Nope.  Now that I think about it this machine layer will only need
access to 0x54, 0x58 and nobody else will need them.

So I agree with your suggestion.  I think that besides offset 0, these
registers will be not be shared between drivers.
