This new framework is currently nothing more than a registry of memory
controllers, with the goal being to order device probing. One use-case
where this is useful, for example, is a memory controller device which
needs to program some registers before the system MMU can be enabled.
Associating the memory controller with the SMMU allows the SMMU driver
to defer the probe until the memory controller has been registered.

One such example is Tegra186 where the memory controller contains some
registers that are used to program stream IDs for the various memory
clients (display, USB, PCI, ...) in the system. Programming these SIDs
is required for the memory clients to emit the proper SIDs as part of
their memory requests. The memory controller driver therefore needs to
be programmed prior to the SMMU driver. To achieve that, the memory
controller will be referenced via phandle from the SMMU device tree
node, the SMMU driver can then use the memory controller framework to
find it and defer probe until it has been registered.

Hello Thierry,

This looks like a very good endeavour! I have couple comments, please
see them below.

This is not enough because memory controller driver could be a loadable
module, thus something like this is needed here:

	__module_get(mc->dev->driver->owner);

This won't allow MC driver to be unloaded while it has active users.

In most cases memory controllers are unique in a system, so it looks to
me that it will be more universal to have ability to get MC by its
device-tree compatible name. Like this:

	of_memory_controller_get_by_compatible(const char *compatible);

This will allow current drivers (like Tegra20 devfreq driver for
example) to utilize this new API without having trouble of maintaining
backwards compatibility with older device-trees that do not have a
phandle to MC.

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.4-rc5/source/drivers/devfreq/tegra20-devfreq.c#L100

Of course there could be cases where there are multiple controllers with
the same compatible, but that case could be supported later on by those
who really need it. I don't think that any of NVIDIA Tegra SoCs fall
into that category.

Good catch. I've added that (and the module_put() from below) to the
patch.

This has the slight disadvantage that we would have to iterate over a
number of compatible strings in case we want to transparently support
more than a single version of the memory controller.

An alternative, which is used by a number of other resource registry
APIs, would be to work with lookup tables. Basically those would make
a mapping between a provider and a device/consumer pair. The result
would look something like this:

	struct memory_controller_lookup {
		const char *provider;
		const char *dev_id;
		const char *con_id;
	};

	static const struct memory_controller_lookup *tegra124_mc_lookup[] = {
		{ "70019000.memory-controller", "6000c800.actmon", NULL },
	};

memory_controller_get() could then use that as a last-resort to find a
reference to a memory controller if a device tree phandle isn't
available.

On the other hand it should be fairly easy to conditionalize all the
code based purely on the availability of a phandle:

	mc = memory_controller_get(dev, NULL);
	if (IS_ERR(mc)) {
		if (mc != ERR_PTR(-ENODEV))
			return PTR_ERR(mc);

		mc = NULL;
	}

	...

	if (mc) {
		...
	}

The above could be simplified by wrapping the logic in a helper that can
be used if consumers can work without: memory_controller_get_optional().

The explicit lookup table sounds like a good idea because it should be
usable in a case of a non-OF devices as well.

Optional retrieval helpers are a common thing among subsystem APIs.
Although it probably shouldn't be necessary for the start of the MC API
and could be added later on, once there will be a real need in it.
AFAIK, none of the Tegra drivers have such a need right now.
