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.

Could you be a bit more explicit, or point to an example user of these hooks? I had a quick look and I guess that uart_change_pm() is the most likely candidate for what you are referring to. I can see how that interfaces to the specific piece of uart hardware, such as omap-serial.c But I cannot see how you would plumb that though to the device that was plugged in to the serial port. I guess if that device could be registered as a child of the omap_serial device, then power management inheritance might come in to play, but I cannot see any way to tell a serial port that it has some arbitrary child device.

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. Having serial-core know about gpios and regulators and random other stuff seems wrong. 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. Using a virtual GPIO was my poor-mans RIPS. Usi

Unless you are using it as a "real' DTR line then I think this is the wrong approach. This problem actually is turning up in both PC class and ARM boxes now all over the place for three reasons I am seeing. 1. We are getting a lot of hardware moving to serial attached bluetooth/gps/etc because of the power win. In addition ACPI can describe power relationships and what is on the other end of a UART embedded in the device 2. We've got cheap hardware with modem lines being "retrofitted" via gpio 3. There are a subset of devices that have extra control lines beyond the usual serial port ones. These range from additional control lines for things like smartcard programmers to port muxing. > I have no problem either way, just that unused code doesn't have to be > sitting in the tree and I'm not entirely sure this GPIO should be > handled by omap-serial.c, perhaps something more generic inside > serial-core so other UART drivers can benefit from it. serial-core provides power hooks. If the goal is that this comes on when you power up the uart and goes away on the last close then the hooks are there already. If its ldisc specific then the tty layer also calls the device on ldisc changes precisely so it can make hardware specific twiddles in such cases. A set of gpios on the tty_port object would not go amiss and would also address the PC case. > considering this is a BTUART device, why didn't you do this at the ldisc > level ? hci_uart_open() sounds like a good choice from a quick thinking. ldiscs are hardware independent. Nothing about hardware belongs in an ldisc. Any ldisc should within reason work on any port. What I propsed when it came up ages ago was to expose some gpio settings in the tty, to provide ways for them to be set by default and also ioctls to configure them. I still think this (but moved into the tty_port as its a persistent hardware property) is a good idea now that we are starting to see more use cases than weird dongles and muxes on pre-production reference boards. With my tty and serial hat on I think a power gpio is a no-brainer even without doing the other work and therefore it should probably be described generically for a serial port in the DT as well as in the ACPI data. If you should also be able to give it a regulator to use as well that also seems to make complete sense.

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

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 ? -- balbi signature.asc Description: Digital signature

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,

Niel,
this seems to revert the functionality introduced in
commit 9574f36fb801035f6ab0fbb1b53ce2c12c17d100
(OMAP/serial: Add support for driving a GPIO as DTR.)
would you like to Ack this change?
