Tony, what do you think? Well nothing happens if a device is status = "disabled". No dev entry gets created for it at all and hwmod won't have any data for the device populated. The only way hwmod code could see that device if the device gets it's data from the legacy omap_hwmod_*_data.c instead of DT. So maybe the comments in the $subject patch are incorrect for that? What we really should have is also status = "incomplete" where the dev entry gets created, but the driver never probes. This would be for devices that are still there within the SoC, but not pinned out for the board in question. We still may need also ti,no-init too for devices that we don't want hwmod to do anything with, for example in secure mode if some blocks are not available to Linux at all. I believe that's what's going on with n900 crypto accelerators for example.

Heh OK this thread is about the RTC driver, so I assume that's the problem :) So if you set the rtc to status = "disabled" how can the hwmod code do anything as AFAIK it won't even get the rtc IO address? Or am I missing something here?

Perhaps I am mistaken, but from what I understand, all hwmods have _init and _setup called on them, and all hwmods read the IO address regardless of DT status at this point with _init_mpu_rt_base. In _setup, _setup_reset gets called which calls _enable for the hwmod, and this calls both _enable_sysc and _update_sysc_cache which touch the sysconfig register of the IP. Normally this is fine regardless of whether or not we are using an IP because the module will wake up for a moment, have it's sysc programmed, and then be put back to sleep later, potentially never to be woken again if we bind no driver for it, which is fine for 99% of cases. In the case of am43x epos evm, you can take the same piece of silicon that will boot happily on the gp evm with the rtc hwmod in place and it will hang during boot on the epos evm because the board uses a pin to hold the RTC IP in reset. There is no way to detect this in software, the module can be turned on as normal using the clk_ctrl, but if you touch any of the IP registers you get an abort. So we need to prevent this from happening but of course we can't selectively choose when the rtc hwmod gets added based on which board we are using so it seemed a DT flag was appropriate to indicate that we do not want to init the rtc IP at all only on this board. Without this flag in place but with the rtc hwmod added, the am43x-epos-evm fails booting with an imprecise abort.

Oh OK, I think you're right. I was thinking of omap_device_build_from_dt(), sorry. Looks like the hwmod IO address data does get populated even for status = "disabled" although the dev entry won't get created and omap_device_build_from_dt() never gets called. > Normally this is fine regardless of whether or not we are using an IP because > the module will wake up for a moment, have it's sysc programmed, and then be put > back to sleep later, potentially never to be woken again if we bind no driver > for it, which is fine for 99% of cases.

OK thanks for explaining it. I'm fine with this patch, Paul may have other issues. The other option would be to use status = "disabled" to not touch the device at all like Paul suggested.

I wonder if that's > going to break PM on some devices though.. Well the initial programming of the SYSCONFIG register is pretty important for certain modules, just take AM33xx USB hwmod for example. If no USB driver is bound even just letting omap_device idle it using the USB_ CLKCTRL in the PRCM after no driver gets bound will not work properly, because the USB on am33xx expects it's SYSCONFIG STANDBY_MODE to be software supervised, the default state (SMART_STANDBY) does not let the IP go into standby so the IP gets stuck in a partially off state but does not actually shut down as expected. So I don't think we can change this without consequences elsewhere.

As I understand, there is device "RTC" and this device has status 'disabled', so there is reasonable question why do we need to touch it at all? The HWMOD is some kind of SoC description, which was needed before DT. Now with DT in place it seems unreasonable to touch any IP block which: - are not defined in DT - has status 'disabled'. in above cases the u-boot has to dial with IP block if it's invisible for Kernel. The HWMOD framework intended to reset and put in some predefined states IPs which are visible for the Kernel, so then proper driver can start working with IP or IP will be kept in some low-power state if there is no driver. Such kind of changes really confused :(, because when I'm looking on DT and see - status='disabled' I suppose that such IP will not be touched by Kernel. But it's NOT really 'disabled'. It's kinda 'partially disabled' or 'not present' or 'unused' .. (if someone will decide to continue with such approach - it could be more useful to define new value for 'status' parameter :P). Also, just imaging that OMAP kernel is used with Xen as DomU and how hard will it be to find and cut off all such tricks :( Did I miss something? > >> So we need to prevent this from happening but of course we can't selectively >> choose when the rtc hwmod gets added based on which board we are using so it >> seemed a DT flag was appropriate to indicate that we do not want to init the rtc >> IP at all only on this board. >> >> Without this flag in place but with the rtc hwmod added, the am43x-epos-evm >> fails booting with an imprecise abort. > > OK thanks for explaining it.

Currently we still need this hwmod behavior as not all IPs are in an ideal state for PM by default. Not sure if you saw my last email in this thread but I gave an example for USB hwmod: If no USB driver is bound even just letting omap_device idle it using the USB_ CLKCTRL in the PRCM will not work properly, because the USB on am33xx expects it's SYSCONFIG STANDBY_MODE to be software supervised, the default state (SMART_STANDBY) does not let the IP go into standby so the IP gets stuck in a partially off state but does not actually shut down as expected. So we need to be able to touch the dt nodes even if they are marked as disabled because we need to get the IO address to have access to the SYSCONFIG register. I am not trying to introduce any major new changes to omap_hwmod layer, I am just trying to allow it to work in more situations. This flag would only exist to PREVENT any hwmod action from happening in certain cases where we cannot even touch the IP for whatever reason (in the first case that this patch intends to be used for, the RTC IP on am43x-epos-evm which is disabled by the board configuration).

And that's the problem :) What ePar says: “disabled” - Indicates that the device is not presently operational, but it might become operational in the future (for example, something is not plugged in, or switched off). and current OF implementation will not register corresponding device in DD core and, as result, drivers will be never ever bound with these devices. As i said before, such devices are invisible/absent/not present, so there are no reasons to touch them at all in Kernel, because result is unpredictable in general. And there are no guarantee that there will be no other issues, even if you'll fix this particular case. >>> >>> Oh OK, I think you're right. I was thinking of omap_device_build_from_dt(), >>> sorry.

Oh yes! And this happen just due to historical reasons ;) The HWMOD is ancient thing :P which was created at time when: - all OMAP's code was built-in - there were no DT in place. And it actually was created to describe configuration and integration of HW. But now there is DT which is intended for the same purposes and HWMOD data is still here (as i know) just because process of migration to DT is not fully completed yet. More over, now we have multiplatform; restriction to put SoC's erratas and hacks in kernel; and all drivers going to be converted to loadable modules. In my opinion, this is not good when we have device marked as 'disabled', but Kernel still tries to access them. More over, we need to completely remove device's definitions from DT to prevent Kernel of touching such devices. So, let's not make things worse than they are :( and just remove RTC device where it's not needed. > > This flag would only exist to PREVENT any hwmod action from happening in certain > cases where we cannot even touch the IP for whatever reason (in the first case > that this patch intends to be used for, the RTC IP on am43x-epos-evm which is > disabled by the board configuration). > >> >> Such kind of changes really confused :(, because when I'm looking on DT and see - status='disabled' >> I suppose that such IP will not be touched by Kernel.

I wonder if that's >>> going to break PM on some devices though.. That how it should be as for me, but unfortunately, it could break PM :(, because It's common assumption now that Kernel will reset & disable ALL OMAP's devices regardless of DT. It could be possible if it will be handled properly outside of the kernel - in u-boot for example. regards, -grygorii -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I agree with all of this, but we can't do this entirely without breaking PM, at least until omap_hwmod is entirely gone. If we were to prevent omap_hwmod from touching any dt node marked as disabled, then we aren't going to be able to idle all IPs. omap_hwmod/omap_device handles idling of unused IPs, and we many times need the SYSCONFIG register to do that, so we can't ignore ALL disabled dt nodes until that system is replaced. I dont think it's reasonable to ask people to include every single driver just to get PM. But, this is far beyond the scope of what this patch is trying to solve. > >>>> >>>> Oh OK, I think you're right. I was thinking of omap_device_build_from_dt(), >>>> sorry.

As I said above this would work but I do not know if it's more correct to trick omap_hwmod with the DT or change omap_hwmod with ti,no-init, because we are still using it today.

Introduce a dt property, ti,no-init, that prevents hwmod initialization. Even if a dt node is marked as disabled, hwmod still at least enables the hwmod and programs the sysconfig before attempting to idle it at boot. If an IP has been disabled by the hardware configuration on a platform, this will cause a hang due to writing to inactive registers. This property prevents that from happening by marking the hwmod as _HWMOD_STATE_DISABLED during init.
