Re: [PATCH 10/13] tty: serial: omap: remove some dead code
As soon as this patch (http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg325197.html) will be applied, we don't really need this DTR GPIO any more. For the omap specific case, not for the general case of sorting out power hierarchies.

If your device is powered by something like a regulator then you can drive the regulator from the uart_pm helpers. In one case the power on sequence is substantially more complex that just a gpio or regulator. I would need to write a device driver for the (GPS) chip which could receive a poweron/poweroff signal from the uart and do the required magic. In which case giving the tty a child device (or devices) would probably be more sensible yes. No problem with that either. I would really like to see the runtime interpreted power sequences become a real thing. Then serial-core could activate a RIPS, and that would have the flexibility to do whatever is needed without adding complexity to serial-core. Something like ACPI has you mean ? When we put the device into D0 the ACPI methods can do stuff. So ... with your serial hat on, if I were to write/test a patch to allow any serial port to have a power-gpio described in DT and the gpio would be driven in uart_change_pm(), would you consider accepting that patch, or did I misunderstand? We are going to need it anyway for other devices fairly soon. It's common for new PC class hardware to have gpio management for the bluetooth, gps and and sometimes sensor devices attached to the tty. That's true irrespective of whether you happen to choose to use it for virtual gpio hacks.

(OMAP/serial: Add support for driving a GPIO as DTR.)

I have a couple of out-of-tree drivers that use this support.
I hope to get back to working on that code one day and even get those drivers
upstream. So I would really prefer this code to remain if it isn't causing
any actual problems.
Of course, I can always re-submit it when I need it again, but that it just
extra work all around.
Sorry that I have pushed those drivers already, but sometimes life gets in
the way :-)
Thanks,

I wonder how you will pass those attributes through DT considering they are *really* SW configuration. Why can't you use the real DTR pin, btw ? This myth that DT is only about hardware is probably one of the reasons that I haven't got these out-of-tree drivers upstream yet. There is no real DTR pin. When I open /dev/ttyWHATEVER, I need the driver for the device that is permanently connected to that serial port to be told that the serial-device has been opened so that it can power on or wake up the device. I don't much care how that happens, or how I tell DT that it has to happen. I just need it to happen. In discrete hardware devices, the DTR line is what you would use. The RS232 port would raise (or lower or whatever) DTR when /dev/ttyWHATEVER was open, and the device that was plugged in would detect the level change and do stuff. But I don't have discrete hardware. I have a bunch of stuff soldered onto a board with ad-hoc connections chosen to make the life of the hardware builder easy rather than chosen to make the life of the software developer easy (which I think is the correct choice). So I need to tell DT This device is plugged into this UART, and there is no DTR line, but when the UARTs DTR line would be asserted (if it had one), then I need that regulator of there turned on. or maybe I need to toggle this GPIO with exactly this pattern, while watching that GPIO to see if it is working. So I thought: 1/ give the UART a virtual DTR so it could drive any GPIO 2/ create a gpio-to-regulator driver which presented as a (virtual) gpio and responded to state changes on that GPIO by turning on or off the regulator 3/ create a dedicated driver which knows how to toggle the magic GPIO while watching the other GPIO to convince the silly device to wakeup, or go to sleep, as required, and have this appear as a (virtual) GPIO. Then I can just tell DT that these (virtual) GPIOs are connected together, and it will all just work. And it does. But given the whole no no, DT is for describing hardware, and you are describing software attitude, it seems that I lost motivation for a while (that wasn't the only reason, but it didn't help). I have a patch which converts the OMAP serial driver to use DT to configure these virtual DTR lines. I'm very happy to submit that if there is some chance it might be accepted and will keep the current DTR code in place. On the other hand, if you can point out to me what I'm missing, and how I can solve my problem with any virtual GPIOs, I'm all ears. To make my problem simple and explicit: I have a device attached to a UART which has a separate regulator. The regulator should be powered on if and only if the /dev/ttyXX interface to the UART is open. The device is a bluetooth transceiver. (I have another device which is a GPS receiver which has similar but more complicated requirements) Thanks, NeilBrown signature.asc Description: PGP signature
