[PATCH v5 1/3] i2c: mux: Add i2c-arb-gpio-challenge 'mux' driver

Doug Anderson dianders at chromium.org
Wed Apr 10 06:12:39 EST 2013


The i2c-arb-gpio-challenge driver implements an I2C arbitration scheme
where masters need to claim the bus with a GPIO before they can start
a transcation.  This should generally only be used when standard I2C
multimaster isn't appropriate for some reason (errata/bugs).

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 v5:
- Renamed as per Wolfram Sang.
- Avoid references to AP and EC.
- Bindings are now generic and could support N other masters; code
  still only supports one other master.
- Replaced all instances of WARN_ON with error messages.
- Left Stephen's Reviewed-by from v4 since changes aren't huge, but
  please yell if you want it removed or don't like something about the
  new code; removed Naveen's Tested-by for now.

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-arb-gpio-challenge.
- 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.

+GPIO-based I2C Arbitration
+==========================
+This uses GPIO lines to arbitrate who is the master of an I2C bus in a
+multimaster situation.
+
+In many cases using GPIOs to arbitrate is not needed and a design can use
+the standard I2C multi-master rules.  Using GPIOs is generally useful in
+the case where there is a device on the bus that has errata and/or bugs
+that makes standard multimaster mode not feasible.
+
+
+Algorithm:
+
+All masters on the bus have a 'bus claim' line which is an output that the
+others can see. These are all active low with pull-ups enabled.  We'll
+describe these lines as:
+
+- OUR_CLAIM: output from us signaling to other hosts that we want the bus
+- THEIR_CLAIMS: output from others signaling that they want the bus
+
+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 we want to claim the bus.  We:
+1. Assert OUR_CLAIM.
+2. Waits a little bit for the other sides to notice (slew time, say 10
+   microseconds).
+3. Check THEIR_CLAIMS.  If none are asserted then the we have the bus and we are
+   done.
+4. Otherwise, wait for a few milliseconds and see if THEIR_CLAIMS are 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-arb-gpio-challenge
+- our-claim-gpio: The GPIO that we use to claim the bus.
+- their-claim-gpios: The GPIOs that the other sides use the claim the bus.
+  Note that some implementations may only support a single other master.
+- 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 at 12CA0000 {
+		compatible = "acme,some-i2c-device";
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <0>;
+	};
+
+	i2c-arbitrator {
+		compatible = "i2c-arb-gpio-challenge";
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <0>;
+
+		i2c-parent = <&{/i2c at 12CA0000}>;
+
+		our-claim-gpio = <&gpf0 3 1>;
+		their-claim-gpios = <&gpe0 4 1>;
+		slew-delay-us = <10>;
+		wait-retry-us = <3000>;
+		wait-free-us = <50000>;
+
+		i2c at 0 {
+			reg = <0>;
+			#address-cells = <1>;
+			#size-cells = <0>;
+
+			i2c at 52 {
+				// Normal I2C device
+			};
+		};
+	};
