This patch series adds buffer mode and DMA mode transfer support for the
Aspeed I2C driver. With this change, default transfer mode will be set to
buffer mode for better performance, and DMA mode can be selectively used
depends on platform configuration.
* Buffer mode
AST2400:
It has 2 KBytes (256 Bytes x 8 pages) of I2C SRAM buffer pool from
0x1e78a800 to 0x1e78afff that can be used for all busses with
buffer pool manipulation. To simplify implementation for supporting
both AST2400 and AST2500, it assigns each 128 Bytes per bus without
using buffer pool manipulation so total 1792 Bytes of I2C SRAM
buffer will be used.
AST2500:
It has 16 Bytes of individual I2C SRAM buffer per each bus and its
range is from 0x1e78a200 to 0x1e78a2df, so it doesn't have 'buffer
page selection' bit field in the Function control register, and
neither 'base address pointer' bit field in the Pool buffer control
register it has. To simplify implementation for supporting both
AST2400 and AST2500, it writes zeros on those register bit fields
but it's okay because it does nothing in AST2500.
AST2600:
It has 32 Bytes of individual I2C SRAM buffer per each bus and its
range is from 0x1e78ac00 to 0x1e78adff. Works just like AST2500
does.
* DMA mode
Only AST2500 and later versions support DMA mode under some limitations
in case of AST2500:
I2C is sharing the DMA H/W with UHCI host controller and MCTP
controller. Since those controllers operate with DMA mode only, I2C
has to use buffer mode or byte mode instead if one of those
controllers is enabled. Also make sure that if SD/eMMC or Port80
snoop uses DMA mode instead of PIO or FIFO respectively, I2C can't
use DMA mode.
Please review it.
Changes since v1:
V1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20191007231313.4700-1-jae.hyun.yoo@linux.intel.com/
- Removed a bug fix patch which was merged already from this patch series.
- Removed buffer reg settings from default device tree and added the settings
into bindings document to show the predefined buffer range per each bus.
- Updated commit message and comments.
- Refined driver code using abstract functions.
