From an "architecture" standpoint all the hardware in the RZ/A2 (R7S9210xx series) will be the same. So from a device driver standpoint, CONFIG_ARCH_R7S9210 would cover everything. The rest of the numbers are just for package and number of HW channels. Of course, sometimes when they make smaller packages, they also make smaller silicon to make it cheaper. But in that case, they just simply remove HW or the number of channels for the hardware. (you don't need as many peripherals if you don't have as many pins anymore). But, they never change the functionality of the hardware. Take for example RZ/A1 RZ/A1H R7S72100x RZ/A1M R7S72101x RZ/A1L R7S72102x RZ/A1LU R7S72103x These parts all had the same hardware, but different package options And the "L" parts were cheaper because they reduced the die size by removing HW. But the same drivers worked on all of them because the IP was all exactly the same. So I would have suggested CONFIG_ARCH_R7S7210 for the RZ/A1 series. (well, until I found about the R-Car part that took the same part number in this series) As for the r7s92104x vs r7s92105x, that is for a HW feature that will have nothing to do with Linux, so we can ignore that number. But even if we did make a tiny cut-down version of the device, say a R7S92106x, all HW IP would be the same, just less of it. So in my mind, the architecture (from a CONFIG_ARCH perspective) is still the same. Maybe just a different .dtsi. What do you think? Chris

As the IP cores are the same in all variants, using "renesas,r7s9210-<something>" should be fine for matching drivers to IP cores. Same for CONFIG_ARCH_R7S9210. However, as the actual dies differ between H, M, and L versions, there may be integration issues to be worked around. So I think it would be wise to use one more digit in the compatible value at the main SoC level, i.e. "renesas,r7s92104". Unless there's a hardware register to detect the version at runtime. But it seems RZ/A2 doesn't have a Product Register (PRR), which most other SH/R-Mobile and R-Car SoCs do have? Thanks! Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert

There is supposed to be one. I specifically asked for it (and remember reviewing it). But, now I'm not seeing it in the latest version of the manual. Let me find out where it is. Chris

There is an ID register in RZ/A2 that will have a different number for each silicon. See the first entry in Table 5.6 (BSID register). Technically, it's not "PRR" like it's SH/R-Car devices. It's actually the boundary scan ID number. All RZ/A1 devices have this too. But with RZ/A1, you could only get to this register through JTAG (not by the CPU). So for RZ/A2+, they will mirror that register to CPU space. So with that said, are we good with CONFIG_ARCH_R7S9210? Chris

So if you add a "renesas,bsid" device node to the dtsi, and add support for using that to drivers/soc/renesas/renesas-soc.c, then we can use soc_device_match() to filter on SoC revision, if ever needed. > So with that said, are we good with CONFIG_ARCH_R7S9210? Yes, the Kconfig symbol is fine for sure. Thansk! Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert
