The DMA subsystem attempts to make it theoretically possible to pair
any DMA block with any user. While that's convenient from a
codebase sanity perspective, some blocks are more intertwined.
One such case is the Qualcomm GENI, where each wrapper contains a
number of Serial Engine instances, each one of which can be programmed
to support a different protocol (such as I2C, I3C, SPI, UART, etc.).
The GPI DMA it's designed together with, needs to receive the ID of the
protocol that's in use, to adjust its behavior accordingly. Currently,
that's done through passing that ID through device tree, with each
Serial Engine expressed NUM_PROTOCOL times, resulting in terrible
dt-bindings that are full of useless copypasta.
Currently, the DT looks like:
i2c@foobar {
compatible = "qcom,geni-i2c";
dmas = <&gpi_dma1 0 0 QCOM_GPI_I2C>,
<&gpi_dma1 1 0 QCOM_GPI_I2C>;
// actual hw description
};
spi@foobar {
compatible = "qcom,geni-spi";
dmas = <&gpi_dma1 0 1 QCOM_GPI_SPI>,
<&gpi_dma1 1 1 QCOM_GPI_SPI>;
// actual, identical hw description
};
Which is manageable when there's two of them. Unfortunately, we're
in the double digits range nowadays.
This series attempts to cut down on that through making the last cell
unnecessary, moving the purely-SW data that the current protocol ID is
into the driver.
The mass of_xlate signature change is a little unfortunate, let me know
if it can be avoided somehow..
Attaching the relevant dt-bindings change and converting one platform
over as an example.
