The i2c-arbitrator-cros-ec driver implements the arbitration scheme
that the Embedded Controller (EC) on the ARM Chromebook expects to use
for bus multimastering.  This i2c-arbitrator-cros-ec driver could also
be used in other places where standard I2C bus arbitration can't be
used and two extra GPIOs are available for arbitration.

This driver is based on code that Simon Glass added to the i2c-s3c2410
driver in the Chrome OS kernel 3.4 tree.  The current incarnation as a
mux driver is as suggested by Grant Likely.  See
<https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1877311/> for some history.

Changes in v4: None
Changes in v3:
- Handle of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() failure more properly by
  changing init order.
- Don't warn on -EPROBE_DEFER from calls that could return it.
- Move to module_platform_driver().  As we pull in parts of the system
  that rely on devices under this i2c bus we'll need to make sure they
  can handle the fact that they'll be initted later now.

Changes in v2:
- Renamed to i2c-arbitrator-cros-ec.
- Documented "microsecond" properties as optional; removed
  "bus-arbitration" prefix since it was just extra wordy.
- Split GPIOs into two properties to make it cleaner.
- Capitalized I2C in freeform text.
- Get 'active low' from device tree.

In this case part 2 in the patch series changes but not parts 1 and 3.
 I could have just reposted part 2 with a higher version, but that
makes it a little harder to piece together all of the parts of the
series so I decided to repost all 3.  I can do differently in the
future if you prefer, but my understanding was that it was a matter of
preference/judgement call.

Thanks!  :)

Oh no you're quite right. I didn't notice it was a 3-part series, since
I only got patch 1/3 filtered into my inbox; I guess I wasn't CC'd on
the rest. Sorry for the noise.

I'm not quite sure why that isn't a convincing argument.

The hardware has shipped. I don't know whether the EC microcode can be
updated in the field; it seems risky to do so even if it's possible. So,
it either gets supported or not; the HW/ucode isn't going to change I
suspect.

Hence, it seems that the decision would be:

a) Disallow the implementation of the arbitration scheme in the kernel,
and hence don't support this board in the kernel. (or at least some very
core features of this board)

b) Allow the implementation of the arbitration scheme in the kernel, and
hence make possible support this board in the kernel.

From that perspective, the benefit for the kernel question comes down
to: do we see a benefit for the kernel to support this board? I can't
see why that wouldn't be a benefit.

The only disadvantage would be having to carrying code to support that
board. That same argument can be made for any board, and I think
typically doesn't cause any issue. The code for this I2C mux seems
pretty self-contained, so even if it was absolutely terrible (which I
don't think it is), it still wouldn't cause any wide-spread issues, I think.

Very interesting discussion, especially the argument that "we already shipped"
would not be a convincing argument.

I had senior kernel maintainers tell me and the company I work for that we should
submit _all_ our platform specific kernel code and drivers for inclusion into
the upstream kernel.

This exchange suggests that "it is a shipping product" does not count for such
submissions, and that "Benefit for the kernel" would be the deciding factor
instead. Which of course is a very vague statement - if code supporting
Chromebookis is of no benefit for the kernel, support for my company's products
for sure is much less so.

Which kind of leaves me in a bind. On one side I promote that we should submit
all our kernel code, on the other side there is a very compelling case to be
made that it won't be accepted anyway. That doesn't make my life easier -
essentially since it supports those who say that we should not submit anything
in the first place. And believe me, there are many of those. 

Just to give some examples:
- I2C multiplexers. We have a bunch of those. Looking at this exchange,
  it doesn't look good to get that code included.
- Custom multi-function FPGAs and CPLDs, amongst others implementing I2C
  controllers, I2C muxes, GPIO access, Flash access, and other functions. Same
  as above.
- Devicetree support for UIO devices (mostly forwarding ASICs), including gpio
  bindings, interrupt bindings, and clock bindings. Looking at older exchanges,
  that doesn't look good either. And please dont expect me to implement hacks
  around a clean solution because any devicetree binding for UIO drivers
  "does not describe hardware but its use".

Now, I can understand that there may be technical or architectural issues
preventing one driver or another from being accepted. For example, I can
understand if a driver for an USB-I2C adapder isn't accepted because the adapter
reports itself to the USB subsystem as serial driver. But "Benefit for the
kernel" is vague enough to reject anything for no real reason other than
someone not liking it (or the submitter, or the company the submitter
works for, or the hardware architecture).

It would be nice have to get some well defined guidelines for "acceptable"
contributions. "Benefit for the kernel" sure isn't one.

Yes, great. Really!

First, let me state that I did not intend to say that the arbitrator
muxer here has NO benefit for the kernel. I was aware there might be
arguments for that and I wanted some more discussion to make that
clearer to me. Simon's mail was very helpful in that regard and I will
comment on that somewhen later.

Still, I do have problems with "we already shipped it". If the driver is
bad or the underlying concept is fragile, I want the freedom to reject a
patch, product shipped or not. I will be supportive to find a proper
solution, promised. If all fails, there is still staging/ or the
possibility of out-of-tree patches.

Concentrate on argumenting why the driver is useful and it will be fine.
"we already shipped this" feels a bit like blackmailing to me. And since
most drivers do have well thought reasons for their existance, I'd
primarily like to hear about those.

Multiplexers should be easy going, it is the arbitration which is discussed here.
I am open to consider some generic arbitration schemes. What I am reluctant to
do is to allow every board to have its own arbitration scheme. This
would be board support hosted in the I2C directory. Meh.

I don't think it is possible to write down concrete guidelines for this.
"According to rule 4a) of the guidelines you have to accept my patch"?
That would be a mess, I think.

Yes, though, thinking about it, it was "submit" and didn't say anything
about potential for acceptance.

I think there is a difference between a bad driver or underlying hardware. To
me, "shipped" applies to hardware or firmware which can not be upgraded, not to
the software running on it.

"board support hosted in the I2C directory". But that is exactly what I am
talking about, isn't it ? I have board specific multiplexers and a board
specific I2C controller, and that is just talking about the I2C code.

Looking at it from a maintainer perspective, I agree.

Where it gets murky is really the hardware part. The (in my opinion)
philosophical arguments around not permitting device-tree based instantiation
of uio devices is one example. Another practical example I had to deal with
in my previous company is VGA memory space. Some hw geniuses decided to re-use
the VGA memory space in an embedded x86 device for an EEPROM. Guess what -
the x86 kernel writes into that space no matter what. A patch to address that
problem was rejected because "you should not re-use VGA memory space".
As if I had a choice.

A better example might be Kontron board support. They implement gpio, I2C mux,
and a watchdog in a PLD. They too have an access arbitration scheme where
one has to acquire a hardware mutex before accessing the pld, if I understand
correctly because some microcontroller might need to access it as well.
Leaving the actual code aside, would you reject that too if you don't like
the arbitration scheme, or because you don't want to have board support
in the i2c directory ?

Yes and no. I think I can accept that some hardware has GPIOs wired to
handle I2C arbitration. I still have problems in having arbitrator
drivers per board, each one with various ideas how to do it. That would
be a maintenance horror and has nothing to do with I2C, strictly
speaking. What I would love to see is a few generic arbitrator drivers,
e.g. utilizing a timeout-based scheme (as proposed here). Or like the
old SCSI method putting IDs on the wire and the lowest wins. Stuff like
that.

If I understood correctly, getting the mutex would be done in some
platform code and the I2C driver will simply call the necessary function
to obtain and release the mutex. Or maybe the MFD layer can help, dunno.
Both are fine with me and I don't care about the actual PLD arbitration.

I'd like to have the bindings more generic. They should allow for n
possible masters IMO. It doesn't need to be implemented right now, but
it should be possible to add that later.

I wonder about a more generic name. i2c-arb-gpio-challenge.* maybe?

An array based approach like in the i2c-mux-gpio driver would be more
generic. Just mention that the driver only supports 2 entries at the
moment.

Grant, I assume it is okay to introduce these generic bindings?

This text could be more generic then, too.

Too much WARN_ON for my taste.

+GPIO-based Arbitration used by the ARM Chromebook (exynos5250-snow)
+===================================================================
+This uses GPIO lines between the AP (Application Processor) and an attached
+EC (Embedded Controller) which both want to talk on the same I2C bus as master.
+
+The AP and EC each have a 'bus claim' line, which is an output that the
+other can see. These are both active low, with pull-ups enabled.
+
+- AP_CLAIM: output from AP, signalling to the EC that the AP wants the bus
+- EC_CLAIM: output from EC, signalling to the AP that the EC wants the bus
+
+This mechanism is used instead of standard I2C multimaster to avoid some of the
+subtle driver and silicon bugs that are often present with I2C multimaster.
+
+
+Algorithm:
+
+The basic algorithm is to assert your line when you want the bus, then make
+sure that the other side doesn't want it also. A detailed explanation is best
+done with an example.
+
+Let's say the AP wants to claim the bus. It:
+1. Asserts AP_CLAIM.
+2. Waits a little bit for the other side to notice (slew time, say 10
+   microseconds).
+3. Checks EC_CLAIM. If this is not asserted then the AP has the bus and we are
+   done.
+4. Otherwise, wait for a few milliseconds and see if EC_CLAIM is released.
+5. If not, back off, release the claim and wait for a few more milliseconds.
+6. Go back to 1 (until retry time has expired).
+
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: i2c-arbitrator-cros-ec
+- ap-claim-gpio: The GPIO that we (the AP) use to claim the bus.
+- ec-claim-gpio: The GPIO that the other side (the EC) uses the claim the bus.
+- Standard I2C mux properties. See mux.txt in this directory.
+- Single I2C child bus node at reg 0. See mux.txt in this directory.
+
+Optional properties:
+- slew-delay-us: microseconds to wait for a GPIO to go high. Default is 10 us.
+- wait-retry-us: we'll attempt another claim after this many microseconds.
+    Default is 3000 us.
+- wait-free-us: we'll give up after this many microseconds. Default is 50000 us.
+
+
+Example:
+	i2c@12CA0000 {
+		compatible = "acme,some-i2c-device";
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <0>;
+	};
+
+	i2c-arbitrator {
+		compatible = "i2c-arbitrator-cros-ec";
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <0>;
+
+		i2c-parent = <&{/i2c@12CA0000}>;
+
+		ap-claim-gpio = <&gpf0 3 1 0x10000 0>;
+		ec-claim-gpio = <&gpe0 4 0 0x10003 0>;
+		slew-delay-us = <10>;
+		wait-retry-us = <3000>;
+		wait-free-us = <50000>;
+
+		i2c@0 {
+			reg = <0>;
+			#address-cells = <1>;
+			#size-cells = <0>;
+
+			i2c@52 {
+				// Normal I2C device
+			};
+		};
+	};
