Since it has been deployed referring to -a0 revision i2c IP blocks? But this assumption is wrong as I already wrote few days ago, mv78230-i2c has been deployed referring to -b0 revision i2c IP blocks since the begining. Ok, sorry. As I wrote on irc last week, I've been on travel and haven't been able to fully digest everything coming in. My re-read of all the threads regarding this this morning didn't catch it. No problem there was a lot of email just for this simple fix! It was developed on and for B0 version, and this compatible was created for this specific version. It was latter that we realized that it was not fully compatible with A0. But for sure: mv78230-i2c == I2C IP running on Armada XP B0 (or latter) Ok, this still feels counter-intuitive, and folks not familiar with the development process might assume the opposite. So I'll reply to 4/4 with a reword to make your above statement an explicit part of the binding documentation. No need to do another patch version. I'll fix it up when I pull it in if you're ok with it. Please use my branch because as I wrote you: https://github.com/MISL-EBU-System-SW/mainline-public/tree/i2c-mv64xxx-3.13-rc6-fixes-v6 I took into account the last minor review from Arnd and Wolfram, and I also updated all the flags acked-by and reported-by. But if you prefer I can just sent a 6th version on the mailing list. Hi Jason, Finally 3.13 was not released but the 3.13-rc8 instead. Do you consider to pull this series and then push it this week, before the final release of 3.13?

This commit add quirk in the mvebu platform code to check the SoC
version and then update the compatible string for the i2c controller
according to the revision of the SoC. Currently only some OpenBlocks
AX3-4 boards are known to use an A0 revision so the check is done only
for these boards.

I'm still having some trouble with this compatible string choice... But
I have refined the problem :)
Do we create new compatible strings to indicate errata, or to indicate
'from this version forward there are new features'? The former would
indicate as Gregory has written '...-a0-i2c', the latter would warrant
'...-b0-i2c' and disabling offloading if we don't see '...-b0-i2c'.
I can see Gregory's approach if he were still using the property
'offload-broken', but I suspect the compatible strings should be handled
differently.

Jason.

For instance this driver also work with allwinner,sun4i-i2c, here we can clearly see that this compatible don't describe a newer or an older version of the device it just describe an other version. No one has said EPAPR requires compatible string heirarchies to be handled as such. Or, EPAPR doesn't specify, so we choose to treat them in such-and-such manner. The point I'm trying to highlight in this case is that we aren't clear on how we code compatible strings. Yes, we use the most specific compatible in the list, which is typically the first one. What we haven't cleared up is how to handle a newer IP with an older compatible string. eg: we boot an -a0 SoC, the dtb has the i2c node with most specific compatible string 'mv78230-a0-i2c'. Obviously, we disable offload. What do we do with an older DTB which only has 'mv78230-i2c'? [see 1] now we're running on a -b0 SoC. We boot with a DTB that has a node 'mv78230-i2c'. Is this an old DTB? Or is this a new DTB written with the understanding that -a0-i2c is an exception? You see? We aren't being definitive. The kernel really doesn't know for certain whether it should enable offloading in this case or not. [1] Yes, for Armada i2c, we can retrieve the CPU revision to wade out of this grey area. I'm just looking for clarification regarding the general DT handling of this scenario. I'm reluctant to push this series until I have an answer because the answer will change the meaning of 'mv78230-i2c'. Which *is* relevant to this series. Personally, I feel that since 'mv78230-i2c' has been used to refer to A0 revision of the IP, we should treat any nodes using it (as it's most specific string) as having broken offloading. Which implies that -b0-i2c should be used to indicate IPs with working offloading. I swear, I'm starting to feel like Russell... Maybe I'm just grumpy after crawling out from under my email backlog... About this whole series how do you plan to handle it? It was acked by Wolfram and even by Arnd. This series is for fixing a bug so it should be part of the stable kernels including the 3.13. However we are so close to the release of the 3.13, that it seems to be too late. Yes, it's a fix, and it'll get in. It might be too late for v3.13, but it'll get in to v3.13.1 (and the other appropriate stable kernels). I don't like to rush fixes just because of a pending merge window. thx, Jason. At least I hope it can be pushed to the arm-soc-next and be part of the 3.14-rc1. What do you think about it?

When we get a different chip that has a compatible, but extended ABI we introduce a new label: compatible = marvell,foobar-sata, marvell,orion-sata; And if we get one that has a very similar, but incompatible ABI, we still introduce a new label: compatible = marvell,foobar2-sata; And everything works properly. We already have a compatible string defined for the ABI that B0 presents. So 'mv78230-i2c' is newer than 'mv78230-a0-i2c', or are you referring to something else? 'mv78230-i2c' is the name that was picked to describe the ABI that works as-documented in the manual 'mv78230-a0-i2c' is the name that was picked to describe the ABI that works as-implemented in the A0 chip :) Ok, so my only outstanding concern is that 'mv78230-i2c' has been used to refer to the A0 revision of the i2c IP block (v3.12). If we now change the meaning to be as documented then we get broken systems. thx, Jason. There is no newer/older, they are just two different ABIs. I guess it turns out that 'mv78230-a0-i2c' is a strict compatible subset of 'mv78230-i2c' - but that doesn't really make a difference. The 'mv78230-i2c' driver is guarenteed avaialble in all places where the 'mv78230-a0-i2c' driver would be available.

[PATCH v5 2/4] ARM: mvebu: Add quirk for i2c for the OpenBlocks AX3-4 board
The first variants of Armada XP SoCs (A0 stepping) have issues related
to the i2c controller which prevent to use the offload mechanism and
lead to a kernel hang during boot.
This commit add quirk in the mvebu platform code to check the SoC
version and then update the compatible string for the i2c controller
according to the revision of the SoC. Currently only some OpenBlocks
AX3-4 boards are known to use an A0 revision so the check is done only
for these boards.
