SubjectRe: [RFC][PATCH 4/4] RTC: SMBus support for the M41T80,
Hi David,

Please do not remove other lists cc-ed as there are people interested in
this piece of hardware who are neither on i2c nor on rtc-linux (I am on
neither of the lists too).

Then, given the emulation, the client should be satisfied with either of
the flags instead of both at a time. Exactly how I changed it.

I misinterpreted the SMBus spec -- I have thought the receive part is
variable, sorry. The controller implements a command which issues a write
byte transfer followed by a receive four bytes transfer. Not quite a
process call although the idea is the same.

You can issue a block read of up to 5 bytes (6 if you add the PEC byte
which is not interpreted by the controller in any way). And you can issue
a block write of up to 4 bytes (5 with PEC). That's clearly not enough
for the m41t81 let alone a generic implementation.

But as Atsushi-san pointed out, the block transfer transactions
implemented by the M41T81 do not quite follow the rules of SMBus block
transfers, so the call is out of question -- either i2c_transfer() or a
sequence of byte transactions have to be used.

It is not the same. Assuming a write for a block transfer you have:

start:address:ack:command:ack:data:ack:data:ack:data:ack...stop

on the wire while for a series of byte calls you have:

start:address:ack:command:ack:data:ack:stop:start:address:ack:command:ack:data:ack:stop:start:address:ack:command:ack:data:ack...stop

This is what I mean here -- I gather you are thinking in the terms of raw
I2C block vs SMBus block transfer.

It could be useful enough for other drivers to have the emulated calls
available as a part of the API. No need to rush adding that though
obviously -- we can wait till we have a user (now that this driver has
been ruled out).

A mental shortcut, sorry. I meant these functions would perform block
transfers internally either by calling
i2c_smbus_xfer(I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA)/i2c_transfer() or, if neither
supported by a given controller, by performing an appropriate sequence of
i2c_smbus_xfer(I2C_SMBUS_BYTE_DATA) calls.

It would not be a great idea to have the same piece of code duplicated in
all the client drivers needing it, but we can certainly wait with that --
see above.

I suppose some care would have to be taken with the bit-banger so that
the clock's frequency is not a complex function of time on its own. Which
means interrupts disabled, etc.

Oh, that can be rectified, no problem. The controller does have
interrupt outputs that can be asserted on the busy-to-non-busy transition
as well as an error. There is one per each of the two buses. Plus the
silicon will retry aborted transfers itself up to 15 times before it gives
up with an error. I can prepare a separate patch to address this issue --
I hate these devices operating in a polled manner unnecessarily too.

BTW, the SOC has enough internal interrupt sources you can almost assume
if anything looks remotely like being able to make reasonable use of an
interrupt line it most likely has one. It's somewhat worse outside the
SOC on this particular board -- to the best of my knowledge, the M41T81's
interrupt output is unfortunately not routed anywhere -- otherwise it's
alarm feature could be reasonably utilised; perhaps the periodic interrupt
as well.

The reason is probably they did run out of external interrupt inputs --
of all the 16 allocatable GPIO lines, 10 are taken by a PCMCIA interface
and 2 are used for outputs. The remaining four are actually used as
interrupts, but all taken by other devices. There are some 16 (IIRC)
unused interrupt inputs in the HT-PCI bridge, but that bridge was made by
some other company Broadcom might have not wanted to support too
aggresively. ;-)

Here is a new version of the patch. I hope I have addressed all your
concerns, but I am officially dead at the moment, so please do not disturb
me until this is no longer the case.
