[PATCH v9 0/2] Add ASPEED AST2600 I2Cv2 controller driver

Wed Apr 5 12:28:23 AEST 2023

This series add AST2600 i2cv2 new register set driver. The i2cv2 driver
is new register set that have new clock divider option for more
flexiable generation. And also have separate i2c master and slave register
set for control.

The legacy register layout is mix master/slave register control together.
The following is add more detail description about new register layout.
And new feature set add for register.

-Add new clock divider option for more flexible and accurate clock rate
generation -Add tCKHighMin timing to guarantee SCL high pulse width.
-Add support dual pool buffer mode, split 32 bytes pool buffer of each
device into 2 x 16 bytes for Tx and Rx individually.
-Increase DMA buffer size to 4096 bytes and support byte alignment.
-Re-define the base address of BUS1 ~ BUS16 and Pool buffer.
-Re-define registers for separating master and slave mode control.
-Support 4 individual DMA buffers for master Tx and Rx, slave Tx and Rx.

And following is new register set for package transfer sequence.
-New Master operation mode:
 S -> Aw -> P
 S -> Aw -> TxD -> P
 S -> Ar -> RxD -> P
 S -> Aw -> RxD -> Sr -> Ar -> TxD -> P
-Bus SDA lock auto-release capability for new master DMA command mode.
-Bus auto timeout for new master/slave DMA mode.

The following is two versus register layout.

aspeed,global-regs:
This global register is needed, global register is setting for
new clock divide control, and new register set control.

ASPEED SOC chip is server product, i2c bus may have fingerprint
connect to another board. And also support hotplug.
The following is board-specific design example.
Board A                                         Board B
-------------------------                       ------------------------
|i2c bus#1(master/slave)  <===fingerprint ===> i2c bus#x (master/slave)|
|i2c bus#2(master)-> tmp i2c device |          |                       |
|i2c bus#3(master)-> adc i2c device |          |                       |
-------------------------                       ------------------------

i2c-scl-clk-low-timeout-us:
For example I2C controller as slave mode, and suddenly disconnected.
Slave state machine will keep waiting for master clock in for rx/tx
transmit. So it need timeout setting to enable timeout unlock controller
state. And in another side. In Master side also need avoid suddenly
slave miss(un-plug), Master will timeout and release the SDA/SCL.

aspeed,enable-dma:
For example The bus#1 have trunk data needed for transfer,
it can enable bus dma mode transfer, it can reduce cpu utilized.
Others bus bus#2/3 use defautl buffer mode.

v9:
-aspeed,i2c.yaml
 -backoff to v7.
  -no fix typo in maintainer's name and email. this would be another patch.
  -no remove address-cells, size-cells, this would be another patch.
 -use aspeed,enable-dma property instead of aspeed,xfer-mode selection.
 -fix allOf and else false properties for aspeed,ast2600-i2cv2.
-i2c-ast2600.c
 -no change, the same with v8

v8:
-aspeed,i2c.yaml

-rename file name from new to ast2600.
 aspeed-i2c-new-global.c -> i2c-ast2600-global.c
 aspeed-i2c-new-global.h -> i2c-ast2600-global.h
 i2c-new-aspeed.c -> i2c-ast2600.c
-rename all driver function name to ast2600.
