PR Description

This PR includes several backports from upstream v6.12 and v6.13 branches around new PWM consumer APIs and waveform support, in preparation for the subsequent backport of the upstream ad7625 driver. Highlights:

  • cherry-pick and cleanup rename of pwm_apply_state() to pwm_apply_might_sleep()
  • backport v6.12 versions of pwm/core.c, include/linux/pwm.h, include/trace/events/pwm.h
  • remove drivers/pwm/sysfs.c (now incorporated in drivers/pwm/core.c)
  • cherry-pick devm_clk_rate_exclusive_get() addition
  • backport v6.12 version of drivers/pwm/pwm-axi-pwmgen.c
  • Cherry-pick the following from v6.13:
    • Improved pwm locking
    • PWM waveform abstractions, consumer APIs
    • PWM waveform tracing
    • axi-pwmgen driver implementation using PWM waveforms
    • pwm/core.c symbol reordering
    • kernel doc additions for new pwm_ops
    • chardev support for PWM devices

This has been tested locally using a Zedboard with a customized BOOT.BIN to route PWM signals to a PMOD header and the libpwm tooling found at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ukleinek/libpwm.git/, which allows setting PWM waveform properties via the newly-added character device interface.

PR Type

  • Bug fix (a change that fixes an issue)

PR Checklist

  • I have conducted a self-review of my own code changes
  • I have tested the changes on the relevant hardware
  • I have updated the documentation outside this repo accordingly (if there is the case)

The backport broke the pulsar driver. These amount of backports in subsystems is a bit unsettling but I'll keep an open mind (also because a lot of the new stuff we have in the pipeline depend on the new PWM stuff). Oh well, hopefully this does not bring too much churn in my next merge.

Updated the PR with:

  • List of extra drivers modified in the ADI tree in commit 5c2cc67
  • Cherry-pick of patch adding axi_pwmgen_ddata_from_chip()
  • Cherry-picks of David's patches tweaking the axi-pwmgen driver's default alignment behaviors and register numbering
  • Clarification in each cherry-picked patch stating the branch and commit ID it was taken from
  • New patch adding the phase property back to struct pwm_state to make ltc2387.c and ad_pulsar.c compile, with a comment about the change

For the last point, I can confirm they both build OK, but I don't have the specific hardware to test them on.

  • chardev support for PWM devices

This isn't finalized upstream yet, so probably best to not backport (unless we really need it?).

  • to make ltc2387.c

IIRC, this one should be similar to ad7625 that you worked on? So should be easy to convert to use the new waveform stuff.

  • and ad_pulsar.c

Having worked on similar chips (ad7944, ad4000), I have strong doubts that this actually is using the phase feature. There is only one PWM used by the driver, so it doesn't seem like phase is actually doing anything there. Likely we can just delete that line.

Found one more driver using phase: ad4630. That one uses 2 PWMs so we should convert it to the waveform APIs.

@nunojsa @dlech let me know what you think of the latest ad4630 waveform version - this makes it behave similarly to how the ad7625 does upstream (and eventually in the backport), but I've omitted calls to pwm_round_waveform_might_sleep() since the set() calls will do the rounding too.

Still trying to avoid making too many changes compared to baseline, but if you think it needs to be more drastic I can do that.

Backport from upstream so that the axi-pwmgen driver can continue making
use of it.

Signed-off-by: Trevor Gamblin <[email protected]>
Origin: v6.12-rc5 commit: b0cde62
This ensures that a pwm_chip that has no corresponding driver isn't used
and that a driver doesn't go away while a callback is still running.

In the presence of device links this isn't necessary yet (so this is no
fix) but for pwm character device support this is needed.

To not serialize all pwm_apply_state() calls, this introduces a per chip
lock. An additional complication is that for atomic chips a mutex cannot
be used (as pwm_apply_atomic() must not sleep) and a spinlock cannot be
held while calling an operation for a sleeping chip. So depending on the
chip being atomic or not a spinlock or a mutex is used.

An additional change implemented here is that on driver remove the
.free() callback is called for each requested pwm_device. This is the
right time because later (e.g. when the consumer calls pwm_put()) the
free function is (maybe) not available any more.

Origin: pwm/duty_offset-for-6.13-rc1 commit: 1cc2e1f
Up to now the configuration of a PWM setting is described exclusively by
a struct pwm_state which contains information about period, duty_cycle,
polarity and if the PWM is enabled. (There is another member usage_power
which doesn't completely fit into pwm_state, I ignore it here for
simplicity.)

Instead of a polarity the new abstraction has a member duty_offset_ns
that defines when the rising edge happens after the period start. This
is more general, as with a pwm_state the rising edge can only happen at
the period's start or such that the falling edge is at the end of the
period (i.e. duty_offset_ns == 0 or duty_offset_ns == period_length_ns -
duty_length_ns).

A disabled PWM is modeled by .period_length_ns = 0. In my eyes this is a
nice usage of that otherwise unusable setting, as it doesn't define
anything about the future which matches the fact that consumers should
consider the state of the output as undefined and it's just there to say
"No further requirements about the output, you can save some power.".

Further I renamed period and duty_cycle to period_length_ns and
duty_length_ns. In the past there was confusion from time to time about
duty_cycle being measured in nanoseconds because people expected a
percentage of period instead. With "length_ns" as suffix the semantic
should be more obvious to people unfamiliar with the pwm subsystem.
period is renamed to period_length_ns for consistency.

The API for consumers doesn't change yet, but lowlevel drivers can
implement callbacks that work with pwm_waveforms instead of pwm_states.
A new thing about these callbacks is that the calculation of hardware
settings needed to implement a certain waveform is separated from
actually writing these settings. The motivation for that is that this
allows a consumer to query the hardware capabilities without actually
modifying the hardware state.

The rounding rules that are expected to be implemented in the
round_waveform_tohw() are: First pick the biggest possible period not
bigger than wf->period_length_ns. For that period pick the biggest
possible duty setting not bigger than wf->duty_length_ns. Third pick the
biggest possible offset not bigger than wf->duty_offset_ns. If the
requested period is too small for the hardware, it's expected that a
setting with the minimal period and duty_length_ns = duty_offset_ns = 0
is returned and this fact is signaled by a return value of 1.

Provide API functions for consumers to work with waveforms.

Note that one relevant difference between pwm_get_state() and
pwm_get_waveform*() is that the latter yields the actually configured
hardware state, while the former yields the last state passed to
pwm_apply*() and so doesn't account for hardware specific rounding.

This moves pwm_get() and friends above the functions handling
registration of pwmchips. The motivation is that character device
support needs pwm_get() and pwm_put() and so ideally is defined below
these and when a pwmchip is registered this registers the character
device. So the natural order is

	pwm_get() and friend
	pwm character device symbols
	pwm_chip functions

. The advantage of having these in their natural order is that static
functions don't need to be forward declared.

Note that the diff that git produces for this change some functions are
moved down instead. This is technically equivalent, but not how this
change was created.

…from a chip

Compared to direct calls to pwmchip_get_drvdata() a dedicated function
has two upsides: A better name and the right type. So the code becomes
easier to read and the new function is harder to use wrongly.

Another side effect (which is the secret motivation for this patch, but
shhh) is that the driver becomes a bit easier to backport to kernel
versions that don't have devm_pwmchip_alloc() yet.

Rename the 0x10 register from REG_CONFIG to REG_RSTN. Also rename the
associated bit macros accordingly.

While touching this, move the bit macros close to the register address
macro for better organization.

According to [1], the name of the 0x10 register is REG_RSTN, and there
is a different register named REG_CONFIG (0x18). So we should not be
using REG_CONFIG for the 0x10 register to avoid confusion.

Enable the FORCE_ALIGN flag by default in the AXI PWMGEN driver. This
flag makes the behavior of the PWM output consistent with the
description at the top of the driver file.

    * Limitations:
    * - The writes to registers for period and duty are shadowed until
    *   LOAD_CONFIG is written to AXI_PWMGEN_REG_RSTN, at which point
    *   they take effect.
    * - Writing LOAD_CONFIG also has the effect of re-synchronizing all
    *   enabled channels, which could cause glitching on other channels. It
    *   is therefore expected that channels are assigned harmonic periods
    *   and all have a single user coordinating this.

Without this flag, the PWM output does not change until the period of
all PWM output channels has run out, which makes the PWM impossible to
use in some cases because it takes too long to change the output.

Signed-off-by: Trevor Gamblin <[email protected]>
Reserve setting of PWMs for ad4630_buffer_preenable(), and
ad4630_update_sample_fetch_trigger(). Disable them with pwm_disable() in
two places: ad4630_pwm_get() (so that the PWM outputs aren't on after
initialization) and ad4630_buffer_postdisable(). Some instances of the
driver state had the const qualifiers removed since they now actually
need to be modified.

Since the PWM rounding API outputs may vary depending on the reference
clock used, add a loop to continually try rounding the conversion
waveform until an appropriate duty_length_ns value is obtained. Change
AD4630_TQUIET_CNV_DELAY_PS to AD4630_TQUIET_CNV_DELAY_NS and the nearest
appropriate value, so that we don't have to round when calculating PWM
offsets now. Do the same rounding process for the fetch waveform's
duty_offset_ns as for the conv waveform's duty_length_ns.

Also add a bit more logic to buffer_preenable() to solve a bug where we
weren't re-entering config mode on error if the write for exiting the
mode failed.
