Initial patch for JTAG driver
JTAG class driver provide infrastructure to support hardware/software
JTAG platform drivers. It provide user layer API interface for flashing
and debugging external devices which equipped with JTAG interface
using standard transactions.

Driver exposes set of IOCTL to user space for:
- XFER:
- SIR (Scan Instruction Register, IEEE 1149.1 Data Register scan);
- SDR (Scan Data Register, IEEE 1149.1 Instruction Register scan);
- RUNTEST (Forces the IEEE 1149.1 bus to a run state for a specified
  number of clocks).
- SIOCFREQ/GIOCFREQ for setting and reading JTAG frequency.

Driver core provides set of internal APIs for allocation and
registration:
- jtag_register;
- jtag_unregister;
- jtag_alloc;
- jtag_free;

Platform driver on registration with jtag-core creates the next
entry in dev folder:
/dev/jtagX

Minor nit, this should go on the first line of the .h file now, to match
the rest of the kernel (just happened, not your fault.)

Also, uapi files are not just GPLv2, they have the userspace exception,
so this should just be:
	SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note
no need to add any BSD stuff to it at all.

thanks,

Is this essentially selecting between bit-bang mode or not?  Is there a
generally applicable reason to select SW mode over HW (or vice versa)?
This sounds like it's tied to device-specific capability which shouldn't
be exposed in a generic user API.

Probably should remove the reference to Aspeed here.

I notice the single-open()-per-device lock was dropped by request in an
earlier revision of your patches, but multiple processes trying to drive
a single JTAG master could wreak serious havoc if transactions get
interleaved. Would something like an added JTAG_LOCKCHAIN/UNLOCKCHAIN
ioctl() for exclusive client access be reasonable to prevent this?

It is a mode of working some JTAG master devices. F.e Aspeed JTAG core can work in fully automatic mode when all StateMachine 
transitions and pin control done by hardware and in the more simpler mode when JTAG pin control does by the user (like bit-bang). 

It HW defined feature and can be applied not in all cases. 

Seems it can be deleted from xfer option and controlled by separate like IOCTL_SET_PARAM command.

Yes, it dropped by recommendation of Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>. 
Uer app should care about it.

Greg, what you can suggest about it. May be better to add again single-open()-per-device lock with right locking way like:

I asked to drop it as you didn't even implement it to work correctly :)

You would stall an open?  Why not just return saying you can't do that?

Anyway, if you want to only have one access to the device at a time,
great, but do it in a way that works properly.

Greg, I think you need to look at the code again.

From the snippet in the email, this lock is not held while the device is
open, as you apparently think it is.  It's a short-term lock that is
held to ensure atomic access to the jtag->opened member, so that two
concurrent opens are unable to operate lock-step, resulting in
jtag->opened becoming 2.

The open function snippet in the email drops the lock as soon as it has
incremented jtag->opened, or encounters an error.

It seems entirely sensible, rather than using an atomic_t counter, as
it means that other openers are held off until the current opener has
either succeeded in opening the device or failed to open it.

Heh, sorry, I probably got it wrong.  I'll be glad to review it in a
real patch when needed, but not in the middle of the merge window :)
