How to port a serial driver to driver model
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
Over half of the I2C drivers have been converted as at November 2016. These
|
|
ones remain:
|
|
|
|
adi_i2c
|
|
davinci_i2c
|
|
fti2c010
|
|
ihs_i2c
|
|
kona_i2c
|
|
lpc32xx_i2c
|
|
pca9564_i2c
|
|
ppc4xx_i2c
|
|
rcar_i2c
|
|
sh_i2c
|
|
soft_i2c
|
|
zynq_i2c
|
|
|
|
The deadline for this work is the end of June 2017. If no one steps
|
|
forward to convert these, at some point there may come a patch to remove them!
|
|
|
|
Here is a suggested approach for converting your I2C driver over to driver
|
|
model. Please feel free to update this file with your ideas and suggestions.
|
|
|
|
- #ifdef out all your own I2C driver code (#ifndef CONFIG_DM_I2C)
|
|
- Define CONFIG_DM_I2C for your board, vendor or architecture
|
|
- If the board does not already use driver model, you need CONFIG_DM also
|
|
- Your board should then build, but will not work fully since there will be
|
|
no I2C driver
|
|
- Add the U_BOOT_DRIVER piece at the end (e.g. copy tegra_i2c.c for example)
|
|
- Add a private struct for the driver data - avoid using static variables
|
|
- Implement each of the driver methods, perhaps by calling your old methods
|
|
- You may need to adjust the function parameters so that the old and new
|
|
implementations can share most of the existing code
|
|
- If you convert all existing users of the driver, remove the pre-driver-model
|
|
code
|
|
|
|
In terms of patches a conversion series typically has these patches:
|
|
- clean up / prepare the driver for conversion
|
|
- add driver model code
|
|
- convert at least one existing board to use driver model serial
|
|
- (if no boards remain that don't use driver model) remove the old code
|
|
|
|
This may be a good time to move your board to use device tree also. Mostly
|
|
this involves these steps:
|
|
|
|
- define CONFIG_OF_CONTROL and CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
|
|
- add your device tree files to arch/<arch>/dts
|
|
- update the Makefile there
|
|
- Add stdout-path to your /chosen device tree node if it is not already there
|
|
- build and get u-boot-dtb.bin so you can test it
|
|
- Your drivers can now use device tree
|
|
- For device tree in SPL, define CONFIG_SPL_OF_CONTROL
