4ACPI Based Device Enumeration
5=============================
6
7ACPI 5 introduced a set of new resources (UartTSerialBus, I2cSerialBus,
8SpiSerialBus, GpioIo and GpioInt) which can be used in enumerating slave
9devices behind serial bus controllers.
10
11In addition we are starting to see peripherals integrated in the
12SoC/Chipset to appear only in ACPI namespace. These are typically devices
13that are accessed through memory-mapped registers.
14
15In order to support this and re-use the existing drivers as much as
16possible we decided to do following:
17
18  - Devices that have no bus connector resource are represented as
19    platform devices.
20
21  - Devices behind real busses where there is a connector resource
22    are represented as struct spi_device or struct i2c_device
23    (standard UARTs are not busses so there is no struct uart_device).
24
25As both ACPI and Device Tree represent a tree of devices (and their
26resources) this implementation follows the Device Tree way as much as
27possible.
28
29The ACPI implementation enumerates devices behind busses (platform, SPI and
30I2C), creates the physical devices and binds them to their ACPI handle in
31the ACPI namespace.
32
33This means that when ACPI_HANDLE(dev) returns non-NULL the device was
34enumerated from ACPI namespace. This handle can be used to extract other
35device-specific configuration. There is an example of this below.
36
37Platform bus support
38====================
39
40Since we are using platform devices to represent devices that are not
41connected to any physical bus we only need to implement a platform driver
42for the device and add supported ACPI IDs. If this same IP-block is used on
43some other non-ACPI platform, the driver might work out of the box or needs
44some minor changes.
45
46Adding ACPI support for an existing driver should be pretty
47straightforward. Here is the simplest example::
48
49	#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
50	static const struct acpi_device_id mydrv_acpi_match[] = {
51		/* ACPI IDs here */
52		{ }
53	};
54	MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, mydrv_acpi_match);
55	#endif
56
57	static struct platform_driver my_driver = {
58		...
59		.driver = {
60			.acpi_match_table = ACPI_PTR(mydrv_acpi_match),
61		},
62	};
63
64If the driver needs to perform more complex initialization like getting and
65configuring GPIOs it can get its ACPI handle and extract this information
66from ACPI tables.
67
68DMA support
69===========
70
71DMA controllers enumerated via ACPI should be registered in the system to
72provide generic access to their resources. For example, a driver that would
73like to be accessible to slave devices via generic API call
74dma_request_chan() must register itself at the end of the probe function like
75this::
76
77	err = devm_acpi_dma_controller_register(dev, xlate_func, dw);
78	/* Handle the error if it's not a case of !CONFIG_ACPI */
79
80and implement custom xlate function if needed (usually acpi_dma_simple_xlate()
81is enough) which converts the FixedDMA resource provided by struct
82acpi_dma_spec into the corresponding DMA channel. A piece of code for that case
83could look like::
84
85	#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
86	struct filter_args {
87		/* Provide necessary information for the filter_func */
88		...
89	};
90
91	static bool filter_func(struct dma_chan *chan, void *param)
92	{
93		/* Choose the proper channel */
94		...
95	}
96
97	static struct dma_chan *xlate_func(struct acpi_dma_spec *dma_spec,
98			struct acpi_dma *adma)
99	{
100		dma_cap_mask_t cap;
101		struct filter_args args;
102
103		/* Prepare arguments for filter_func */
104		...
105		return dma_request_channel(cap, filter_func, &args);
106	}
107	#else
108	static struct dma_chan *xlate_func(struct acpi_dma_spec *dma_spec,
109			struct acpi_dma *adma)
110	{
111		return NULL;
112	}
113	#endif
114
115dma_request_chan() will call xlate_func() for each registered DMA controller.
116In the xlate function the proper channel must be chosen based on
117information in struct acpi_dma_spec and the properties of the controller
118provided by struct acpi_dma.
119
120Clients must call dma_request_chan() with the string parameter that corresponds
121to a specific FixedDMA resource. By default "tx" means the first entry of the
122FixedDMA resource array, "rx" means the second entry. The table below shows a
123layout::
124
125	Device (I2C0)
126	{
127		...
128		Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)
129		{
130			Name (DBUF, ResourceTemplate ()
131			{
132				FixedDMA (0x0018, 0x0004, Width32bit, _Y48)
133				FixedDMA (0x0019, 0x0005, Width32bit, )
134			})
135		...
136		}
137	}
138
139So, the FixedDMA with request line 0x0018 is "tx" and next one is "rx" in
140this example.
141
142In robust cases the client unfortunately needs to call
143acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_index() directly and therefore choose the
144specific FixedDMA resource by its index.
145
146SPI serial bus support
147======================
148
149Slave devices behind SPI bus have SpiSerialBus resource attached to them.
150This is extracted automatically by the SPI core and the slave devices are
151enumerated once spi_register_master() is called by the bus driver.
152
153Here is what the ACPI namespace for a SPI slave might look like::
154
155	Device (EEP0)
156	{
157		Name (_ADR, 1)
158		Name (_CID, Package() {
159			"ATML0025",
160			"AT25",
161		})
162		...
163		Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)
164		{
165			SPISerialBus(1, PolarityLow, FourWireMode, 8,
166				ControllerInitiated, 1000000, ClockPolarityLow,
167				ClockPhaseFirst, "\\_SB.PCI0.SPI1",)
168		}
169		...
170
171The SPI device drivers only need to add ACPI IDs in a similar way than with
172the platform device drivers. Below is an example where we add ACPI support
173to at25 SPI eeprom driver (this is meant for the above ACPI snippet)::
174
175	#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
176	static const struct acpi_device_id at25_acpi_match[] = {
177		{ "AT25", 0 },
178		{ },
179	};
180	MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, at25_acpi_match);
181	#endif
182
183	static struct spi_driver at25_driver = {
184		.driver = {
185			...
186			.acpi_match_table = ACPI_PTR(at25_acpi_match),
187		},
188	};
189
190Note that this driver actually needs more information like page size of the
191eeprom etc. but at the time writing this there is no standard way of
192passing those. One idea is to return this in _DSM method like::
193
194	Device (EEP0)
195	{
196		...
197		Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
198		{
199			Store (Package (6)
200			{
201				"byte-len", 1024,
202				"addr-mode", 2,
203				"page-size, 32
204			}, Local0)
205
206			// Check UUIDs etc.
207
208			Return (Local0)
209		}
210
211Then the at25 SPI driver can get this configuration by calling _DSM on its
212ACPI handle like::
213
214	struct acpi_buffer output = { ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, NULL };
215	struct acpi_object_list input;
216	acpi_status status;
217
218	/* Fill in the input buffer */
219
220	status = acpi_evaluate_object(ACPI_HANDLE(&spi->dev), "_DSM",
221				      &input, &output);
222	if (ACPI_FAILURE(status))
223		/* Handle the error */
224
225	/* Extract the data here */
226
227	kfree(output.pointer);
228
229I2C serial bus support
230======================
231
232The slaves behind I2C bus controller only need to add the ACPI IDs like
233with the platform and SPI drivers. The I2C core automatically enumerates
234any slave devices behind the controller device once the adapter is
235registered.
236
237Below is an example of how to add ACPI support to the existing mpu3050
238input driver::
239
240	#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
241	static const struct acpi_device_id mpu3050_acpi_match[] = {
242		{ "MPU3050", 0 },
243		{ },
244	};
245	MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, mpu3050_acpi_match);
246	#endif
247
248	static struct i2c_driver mpu3050_i2c_driver = {
249		.driver	= {
250			.name	= "mpu3050",
251			.owner	= THIS_MODULE,
252			.pm	= &mpu3050_pm,
253			.of_match_table = mpu3050_of_match,
254			.acpi_match_table = ACPI_PTR(mpu3050_acpi_match),
255		},
256		.probe		= mpu3050_probe,
257		.remove		= mpu3050_remove,
258		.id_table	= mpu3050_ids,
259	};
260
261GPIO support
262============
263
264ACPI 5 introduced two new resources to describe GPIO connections: GpioIo
265and GpioInt. These resources can be used to pass GPIO numbers used by
266the device to the driver. ACPI 5.1 extended this with _DSD (Device
267Specific Data) which made it possible to name the GPIOs among other things.
268
269For example::
270
271	Device (DEV)
272	{
273		Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)
274		{
275			Name (SBUF, ResourceTemplate()
276			{
277				...
278				// Used to power on/off the device
279				GpioIo (Exclusive, PullDefault, 0x0000, 0x0000,
280					IoRestrictionOutputOnly, "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0",
281					0x00, ResourceConsumer,,)
282				{
283					// Pin List
284					0x0055
285				}
286
287				// Interrupt for the device
288				GpioInt (Edge, ActiveHigh, ExclusiveAndWake, PullNone,
289					0x0000, "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0", 0x00, ResourceConsumer,,)
290				{
291					// Pin list
292					0x0058
293				}
294
295				...
296
297			}
298
299			Return (SBUF)
300		}
301
302		// ACPI 5.1 _DSD used for naming the GPIOs
303		Name (_DSD, Package ()
304		{
305			ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
306			Package ()
307			{
308				Package () {"power-gpios", Package() {^DEV, 0, 0, 0 }},
309				Package () {"irq-gpios", Package() {^DEV, 1, 0, 0 }},
310			}
311		})
312		...
313
314These GPIO numbers are controller relative and path "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0"
315specifies the path to the controller. In order to use these GPIOs in Linux
316we need to translate them to the corresponding Linux GPIO descriptors.
317
318There is a standard GPIO API for that and is documented in
319Documentation/admin-guide/gpio/.
320
321In the above example we can get the corresponding two GPIO descriptors with
322a code like this::
323
324	#include <linux/gpio/consumer.h>
325	...
326
327	struct gpio_desc *irq_desc, *power_desc;
328
329	irq_desc = gpiod_get(dev, "irq");
330	if (IS_ERR(irq_desc))
331		/* handle error */
332
333	power_desc = gpiod_get(dev, "power");
334	if (IS_ERR(power_desc))
335		/* handle error */
336
337	/* Now we can use the GPIO descriptors */
338
339There are also devm_* versions of these functions which release the
340descriptors once the device is released.
341
342See Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/gpio-properties.rst for more information about the
343_DSD binding related to GPIOs.
344
345MFD devices
346===========
347
348The MFD devices register their children as platform devices. For the child
349devices there needs to be an ACPI handle that they can use to reference
350parts of the ACPI namespace that relate to them. In the Linux MFD subsystem
351we provide two ways:
352
353  - The children share the parent ACPI handle.
354  - The MFD cell can specify the ACPI id of the device.
355
356For the first case, the MFD drivers do not need to do anything. The
357resulting child platform device will have its ACPI_COMPANION() set to point
358to the parent device.
359
360If the ACPI namespace has a device that we can match using an ACPI id or ACPI
361adr, the cell should be set like::
362
363	static struct mfd_cell_acpi_match my_subdevice_cell_acpi_match = {
364		.pnpid = "XYZ0001",
365		.adr = 0,
366	};
367
368	static struct mfd_cell my_subdevice_cell = {
369		.name = "my_subdevice",
370		/* set the resources relative to the parent */
371		.acpi_match = &my_subdevice_cell_acpi_match,
372	};
373
374The ACPI id "XYZ0001" is then used to lookup an ACPI device directly under
375the MFD device and if found, that ACPI companion device is bound to the
376resulting child platform device.
377
378Device Tree namespace link device ID
379====================================
380
381The Device Tree protocol uses device identification based on the "compatible"
382property whose value is a string or an array of strings recognized as device
383identifiers by drivers and the driver core.  The set of all those strings may be
384regarded as a device identification namespace analogous to the ACPI/PNP device
385ID namespace.  Consequently, in principle it should not be necessary to allocate
386a new (and arguably redundant) ACPI/PNP device ID for a devices with an existing
387identification string in the Device Tree (DT) namespace, especially if that ID
388is only needed to indicate that a given device is compatible with another one,
389presumably having a matching driver in the kernel already.
390
391In ACPI, the device identification object called _CID (Compatible ID) is used to
392list the IDs of devices the given one is compatible with, but those IDs must
393belong to one of the namespaces prescribed by the ACPI specification (see
394Section 6.1.2 of ACPI 6.0 for details) and the DT namespace is not one of them.
395Moreover, the specification mandates that either a _HID or an _ADR identification
396object be present for all ACPI objects representing devices (Section 6.1 of ACPI
3976.0).  For non-enumerable bus types that object must be _HID and its value must
398be a device ID from one of the namespaces prescribed by the specification too.
399
400The special DT namespace link device ID, PRP0001, provides a means to use the
401existing DT-compatible device identification in ACPI and to satisfy the above
402requirements following from the ACPI specification at the same time.  Namely,
403if PRP0001 is returned by _HID, the ACPI subsystem will look for the
404"compatible" property in the device object's _DSD and will use the value of that
405property to identify the corresponding device in analogy with the original DT
406device identification algorithm.  If the "compatible" property is not present
407or its value is not valid, the device will not be enumerated by the ACPI
408subsystem.  Otherwise, it will be enumerated automatically as a platform device
409(except when an I2C or SPI link from the device to its parent is present, in
410which case the ACPI core will leave the device enumeration to the parent's
411driver) and the identification strings from the "compatible" property value will
412be used to find a driver for the device along with the device IDs listed by _CID
413(if present).
414
415Analogously, if PRP0001 is present in the list of device IDs returned by _CID,
416the identification strings listed by the "compatible" property value (if present
417and valid) will be used to look for a driver matching the device, but in that
418case their relative priority with respect to the other device IDs listed by
419_HID and _CID depends on the position of PRP0001 in the _CID return package.
420Specifically, the device IDs returned by _HID and preceding PRP0001 in the _CID
421return package will be checked first.  Also in that case the bus type the device
422will be enumerated to depends on the device ID returned by _HID.
423
424For example, the following ACPI sample might be used to enumerate an lm75-type
425I2C temperature sensor and match it to the driver using the Device Tree
426namespace link::
427
428	Device (TMP0)
429	{
430		Name (_HID, "PRP0001")
431		Name (_DSD, Package() {
432			ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
433			Package () {
434				Package (2) { "compatible", "ti,tmp75" },
435			}
436		})
437		Method (_CRS, 0, Serialized)
438		{
439			Name (SBUF, ResourceTemplate ()
440			{
441				I2cSerialBusV2 (0x48, ControllerInitiated,
442					400000, AddressingMode7Bit,
443					"\\_SB.PCI0.I2C1", 0x00,
444					ResourceConsumer, , Exclusive,)
445			})
446			Return (SBUF)
447		}
448	}
449
450It is valid to define device objects with a _HID returning PRP0001 and without
451the "compatible" property in the _DSD or a _CID as long as one of their
452ancestors provides a _DSD with a valid "compatible" property.  Such device
453objects are then simply regarded as additional "blocks" providing hierarchical
454configuration information to the driver of the composite ancestor device.
455
456However, PRP0001 can only be returned from either _HID or _CID of a device
457object if all of the properties returned by the _DSD associated with it (either
458the _DSD of the device object itself or the _DSD of its ancestor in the
459"composite device" case described above) can be used in the ACPI environment.
460Otherwise, the _DSD itself is regarded as invalid and therefore the "compatible"
461property returned by it is meaningless.
462
