Loongson GPIO controllers come in multiple variants that are compatible
except for certain register offset values. Add support in yaml file for
device properties allowing to specify them in DT.

If you're adding new compatibles that depend on the new offset
properties to function, they could be set up with the existing
"ls2k-gpio" as a fallback, so that further driver changes are not
required when you add ones for the 2k500 etc.

How is one supposed to know which of these modes to use?

tbh, I want to leave the final say on this stuff to Krzysztof or Rob.
I'm not really sure what the best way to do to support your GPIO
controllers is & I don't understand your hardware sufficiently to come
up with an approach that I would use had I been in your shoes.

Thanks,
Conor.

I have no clue what does it mean. Is it only 0 or 1? Then it should be
enum or even bool.

No, you cannot add them as required to every other device. First, there
is no single need. Second, it breaks the ABI.

I still think that you just embed the programming model into properties,
instead of using dedicated compatible for different blocks. It could be
fine, although I would prefer to check it with your DTS.

Where is your DTS?

Yes, it only 0 or 1, and I will use bool type.

Byte mode is to access by byte, such as gpio3, the base address of the
gpio controller is offset by 3 bytes as the access address of gpio3.

The bit mode is the normal mode that like other platform gpio and it is
to access by bit.

Okay, I got it,  and if I understand correctly, you seem to agree with
me adding attributes like this.

And, if using this method that programming model into dts properites,
then when adding a new platform's GPIO,  there is no longer a need to
modify the driver because gpio controller is compatible and different
platform can use a same compatible.

> Where is your DTS?


Sorry, the dts containing gpio nodes are only available in the product
code and have not been sent to the community yet.

2k500, 2k2000, and 3a5000's gpio dts node have been listed in v2, which
gpio dts node will be added in upstream dts.


Thanks,
Yinbo.

Byte mode is to access by byte, such as gpio3, the base address of the
gpio controller is offset by 3 bytes as the access address of gpio3.

The bit mode is the normal mode that like other platform gpio and it is
to access by bit.

If both modes are supported, it is recommended to prioritize using byte
mode that according to spec.

Uhu, so there we are. You use this method now to avoid new compatibles.
No, therefore I do not agree.

Does not help to convince us, but it is your right. With this and above
explanation, my answer is no - NAK.

So, sounds like this property should instead be a boolean that notes
whether the hardware supports the mode or not, rather than the current
enum used to determine software policy.

However, from Krzysztof's comments & my own feeling, it really does seem
like you should drop the do-everything compatible and introduce things
that are soc-specific.

I don't seem to got it, if the GPIO controllers of two platforms are
compatible, shouldn't they use the same compatible?

The community work for DTS on the 2K platform is still ongoing. Do I
need to add a GPIO DTS node based on the following DTS to request your
review?  so that you can more conveniently review whether my patch is
suitable.

They can use the same fallback compatible, but you should have specific
compatible anyway. However they are not compatible, because programming
model is different.-

If you want to convince us that your properties makes sense, adding GPIO
nodes there would be helpful.

okay, I got it, I will use boolean,

Why do you want to put it into device-tree so badly? This is not the
first driver that would have of_match_data for different variants
where you can have a structure that would keep offsets for different
models. It's not like you will have hundreds of "compatible" chips
anyway, most likely just a few?

Using this ways that put offset property into device-tree that can be
compatible with future GPIO chips without the need to modify drivers,
such as more 2K chips in the future, but use of_match_data and data
field of_device_id, which every time a new SoC is released, the GPIO
driver needs to be modified once, which is not friendly to us.

That's not an argument for putting into DT.

Sorry, "friendly" is again hardly an argument what should or should not
be in DT.

The purpose of device tree is to describe the hardware and
to configure it for a target system.

The purpose of device tree is not to make driver writing easy
or convenient. It often does, but that is not the purpose.

These offsets are not relevant to the people that need to
author and maintain device trees to support and tailor their
system. They are only relevant to driver authors and SoC
manufacturers.

What about just writing these offsets into the driver and use
the compatible match to look them up.

Yours,

okay, I got it, I had following your advice and send v4 to upstream,
please you help review it.
