0e3db173e2 pinctrl: add usecount to pins for muxing
Multiple mapping table entries could reference the same pin, and hence
"own" it. This would be unusual now that pinctrl_get() represents a single
state for a client device, but in the future when it represents all known
states for a device, this is quite likely. Implement reference counting
for pin ownership to handle this.

7ecdb16fe6 pinctrl: refactor struct pinctrl handling in core.c vs pinmux.c
This change separates two aspects of struct pinctrl:

a) The data representation of the parsed mapping table, into:

   1) The top-level struct pinctrl object, a single entity returned
      by pinctrl_get().

   2) The parsed version of each mapping table entry, struct
      pinctrl_setting, of which there is one per mapping table entry.

b) The code that handles this; the code for (1) above is in core.c, and
   the code to parse/execute each entry in (2) above is in pinmux.c, while
   the iteration over multiple settings is lifted to core.c.

This will allow the following future changes:

1) pinctrl_get() API rework, so that struct pinctrl represents all states
   for the device, and the device can select between them without calling
   put()/get() again.

2) To support that, a struct pinctrl_state object will be inserted into
   the data model between the struct pinctrl and struct pinctrl_setting.

3) The mapping table will be extended to allow specification of pin config
   settings too. To support this, struct pinctrl_setting will be enhanced
   to store either mux settings or config settings, and functions will be
   added to pinconf.c to parse/execute pin configuration settings.

57b676f9c1 pinctrl: fix and simplify locking
There are many problems with the current pinctrl locking:

struct pinctrl_dev's gpio_ranges_lock isn't effective;
pinctrl_match_gpio_range() only holds this lock while searching for a gpio
range, but the found range is return and manipulated after releading the
lock. This could allow pinctrl_remove_gpio_range() for that range while it
is in use, and the caller may very well delete the range after removing it,
causing pinctrl code to touch the now-free range object.

Solving this requires the introduction of a higher-level lock, at least
a lock per pin controller, which both gpio range registration and
pinctrl_get()/put() will acquire.

There is missing locking on HW programming; pin controllers may pack the
configuration for different pins/groups/config options/... into one
register, and hence have to read-modify-write the register. This needs to
be protected, but currently isn't. Related, a future change will add a
"complete" op to the pin controller drivers, the idea being that each
state's programming will be programmed into the pinctrl driver followed
by the "complete" call, which may e.g. flush a register cache to HW. For
this to work, it must not be possible to interleave the pinctrl driver
calls for different devices.

As above, solving this requires the introduction of a higher-level lock,
at least a lock per pin controller, which will be held for the duration
of any pinctrl_enable()/disable() call.

However, each pinctrl mapping table entry may affect a different pin
controller if necessary. Hence, with a per-pin-controller lock, almost
any pinctrl API may need to acquire multiple locks, one per controller.
To avoid deadlock, these would need to be acquired in the same order in
all cases. This is extremely difficult to implement in the case of
pinctrl_get(), which doesn't know which pin controllers to lock until it
has parsed the entire mapping table, since it contains somewhat arbitrary
data.

The simplest solution here is to introduce a single lock that covers all
pin controllers at once. This will be acquired by all pinctrl APIs.

This then makes struct pinctrl's mutex irrelevant, since that single lock
will always be held whenever this mutex is currently held.

46919ae63d pinctrl: introduce PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, define hogs as that state
This provides a single centralized name for the default state.

Update PIN_MAP_* macros to use this state name, instead of requiring the
user to pass a state name in.

With this change, hog entries in the mapping table are defined as those
with state name PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT, i.e. all entries have the same
name. This interacts badly with the nested iteration over mapping table
entries in pinctrl_hog_maps() and pinctrl_hog_map() which would now
attempt to claim each hog mapping table entry multiple times. Replacing
the custom hog code with a simple pinctrl_get()/pinctrl_enable().

Update documentation and mapping tables to use this.

d4e3198736 pinctrl: enhance pinctrl_get() to handle multiple functions
At present, pinctrl_get() assumes that all matching mapping table entries
have the same "function" value, albeit potentially applied to different
pins/groups.

This change removes this restriction; pinctrl_get() can now handle a set
of mapping tables where different functions are applied to the various
pins/groups.

2304b4737f pinctrl: remove pin and hogs locks from struct pinctrl_dev
struct pinctrl_dev's pin_desc_tree_lock and pinctrl_hogs_lock aren't
useful; the data they protect is read-only except when registering or
unregistering a pinctrl_dev, and at those times, it doesn't make sense to
protect one part of the structure independently from the rest.

Move pinctrl_init_device_debugfs() to the end of pinctrl_register() so
that debugfs can't access the struct pinctrl_dev until it's fully
initialized, i.e. after the hogs are set up.

3cc70ed32c pinctrl: record a pin owner, not mux function, when requesting pins
When pins are requested/acquired/got, some device becomes the owner of
their mux setting. At this point, it isn't certain which mux function
will be selected for the pin, since this may vary between each of the
device's states in the pinctrl mapping table. As such, we should record
the owning device, not what we think the initial mux setting will be,
when requesting pins.

This doesn't make a lot of difference right now since pinctrl_get gets
only one single device/state combination, but this will make a difference
when pinctrl_get gets all states, and pinctrl_select_state can switch
between states.

51cd24ee62 pinctrl: don't create a device for each pin controller
Pin controllers should already be instantiated as a device, so there's
no need for the pinctrl core to create a new struct device for each
controller.

This allows the controller's real name to be used in the mux mapping
table, rather than e.g. "pinctrl.0", "pinctrl.1", etc.

This necessitates removal of the PINMUX_MAP_PRIMARY*() macros, since
their sole purpose was to hard-code the .ctrl_dev_name field to be
"pinctrl.0".

ae6b4d8588 pinctrl: add a pin config interface
This add per-pin and per-group pin config interfaces for biasing,
driving and other such electronic properties. The details of passed
configurations are passed in an opaque unsigned long which may be
dereferences to integer types, structs or lists on either side
of the configuration interface.

ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Clear split of terminology: we now have pin controllers, and
  those may support two interfaces using vtables: pin
  multiplexing and pin configuration.
- Break out pin configuration to its own C file, controllers may
  implement only config without mux, and vice versa, so keep each
  sub-functionality of pin controllers separate. Introduce
  CONFIG_PINCONF in Kconfig.
- Implement some core logic around pin configuration in the
  pinconf.c file.
- Remove UNKNOWN config states, these were just surplus baggage.
- Remove FLOAT config state - HIGH_IMPEDANCE should be enough for
  everyone.
- PIN_CONFIG_POWER_SOURCE added to handle switching the power
  supply for the pin logic between different sources
- Explicit DISABLE config enums to turn schmitt-trigger,
  wakeup etc OFF.
- Update documentation to reflect all the recent reasoning.
ChangeLog v2->v3:
- Twist API around to pass around arrays of config tuples instead
  of (param, value) pairs everywhere.
- Explicit drive strength semantics for push/pull and similar
  drive modes, this shall be the number of drive stages vs
  nominal load impedance, which should match the actual
  electronics used in push/pull CMOS or TTY totempoles.
- Drop load capacitance configuration - I probably don't know
  what I'm doing here so leave it out.
- Drop PIN_CONFIG_INPUT_SCHMITT_OFF, instead the argument zero to
  PIN_CONFIG_INPUT_SCHMITT turns schmitt trigger off.
- Drop PIN_CONFIG_NORMAL_POWER_MODE and have a well defined
  argument to PIN_CONFIG_LOW_POWER_MODE to get out of it instead.
- Drop PIN_CONFIG_WAKEUP_ENABLE/DISABLE and just use
  PIN_CONFIG_WAKEUP with defined value zero to turn wakeup off.
- Add PIN_CONFIG_INPUT_DEBOUNCE for configuring debounce time
  on input lines.
- Fix a bug when we tried to configure pins for pin controllers
  without pinconf support.
- Initialized debugfs properly so it works.
- Initialize the mutex properly and lock around config tampering
  sections.
- Check the return value from get_initial_config() properly.
ChangeLog v3->v4:
- Export the pin_config_get(), pin_config_set() and
  pin_config_group() functions.
- Drop the entire concept of just getting initial config and
  keeping track of pin states internally, instead ask the pins
  what state they are in. Previous idea was plain wrong, if the
  device cannot keep track of its state, the driver should do
  it.
- Drop the generic configuration layout, it seems this impose
  too much restriction on some pin controllers, so let them do
  things the way they want and split off support for generic
  config as an optional add-on.
ChangeLog v4->v5:
- Introduce two symmetric driver calls for group configuration,
  .pin_config_group_[get|set] and corresponding external calls.
- Remove generic semantic meanings of return values from config
  calls, these belong in the generic config patch. Just pass the
  return value through instead.
- Add a debugfs entry "pinconf-groups" to read status from group
  configuration only, also slam in a per-group debug callback in
  the pinconf_ops so custom drivers can display something
  meaningful for their pins.
- Fix some dangling newline.
- Drop dangling #else clause.
- Update documentation to match the above.
ChangeLog v5->v6:
- Change to using a pin name as parameter for the
  [get|set]_config() functions, as suggested by Stephen Warren.
  This is more natural as names will be what a developer has
  access to in written documentation etc.
ChangeLog v6->v7:
- Refactor out by-pin and by-name get/set functions, only expose
  the by-name functions externally, expose the by-pin functions
  internally.
- Show supported pin control functionality in the debugfs
  pinctrl-devices file.

5d2eaf8090 pinctrl: Don't copy function name when requesting a pin
Instead, store a pointer to the currently assigned function.

This allows us to delete the mux_requested variable from pin_desc; a pin
is requested if its currently assigned function is non-NULL.

When a pin is requested as a GPIO rather than a regular function, the
assigned function name is dynamically constructed. In this case, we have
to kstrdup() the dynamically constructed name, so that mux_function doesn't
pointed at stack data. This requires pin_free to be told whether to free
the mux_function pointer or not.

This removes the hard-coded maximum function name length.

2744e8afb3 drivers: create a pin control subsystem
This creates a subsystem for handling of pin control devices.
These are devices that control different aspects of package
pins.

Currently it handles pinmuxing, i.e. assigning electronic
functions to groups of pins on primarily PGA and BGA type of
chip packages which are common in embedded systems.

The plan is to also handle other I/O pin control aspects
such as biasing, driving, input properties such as
schmitt-triggering, load capacitance etc within this
subsystem, to remove a lot of ARM arch code as well as
feature-creepy GPIO drivers which are implementing the same
thing over and over again.

This is being done to depopulate the arch/arm/* directory
of such custom drivers and try to abstract the infrastructure
they all need. See the Documentation/pinctrl.txt file that is
part of this patch for more details.

ChangeLog v1->v2:

- Various minor fixes from Joe's and Stephens review comments
- Added a pinmux_config() that can invoke custom configuration
  with arbitrary data passed in or out to/from the pinmux driver

ChangeLog v2->v3:

- Renamed subsystem folder to "pinctrl" since we will likely
  want to keep other pin control such as biasing in this
  subsystem too, so let us keep to something generic even though
  we're mainly doing pinmux now.
- As a consequence, register pins as an abstract entity separate
  from the pinmux. The muxing functions will claim pins out of the
  pin pool and make sure they do not collide. Pins can now be
  named by the pinctrl core.
- Converted the pin lookup from a static array into a radix tree,
  I agreed with Grant Likely to try to avoid any static allocation
  (which is crap for device tree stuff) so I just rewrote this
  to be dynamic, just like irq number descriptors. The
  platform-wide definition of number of pins goes away - this is
  now just the sum total of the pins registered to the subsystem.
- Make sure mappings with only a function name and no device
  works properly.

ChangeLog v3->v4:

- Define a number space per controller instead of globally,
  Stephen and Grant requested the same thing so now maps need to
  define target controller, and the radix tree of pin descriptors
  is a property on each pin controller device.
- Add a compulsory pinctrl device entry to the pinctrl mapping
  table. This must match the pinctrl device, like "pinctrl.0"
- Split the file core.c in two: core.c and pinmux.c where the
  latter carry all pinmux stuff, the core is for generic pin
  control, and use local headers to access functionality between
  files. It is now possible to implement a "blank" pin controller
  without pinmux capabilities. This split will make new additions
  like pindrive.c, pinbias.c etc possible for combined drivers
  and chunks of functionality which is a GoodThing(TM).
- Rewrite the interaction with the GPIO subsystem - the pin
  controller descriptor now handles this by defining an offset
  into the GPIO numberspace for its handled pin range. This is
  used to look up the apropriate pin controller for a GPIO pin.
  Then that specific GPIO range is matched 1-1 for the target
  controller instance.
- Fixed a number of review comments from Joe Perches.
- Broke out a header file pinctrl.h for the core pin handling
  stuff that will be reused by other stuff than pinmux.
- Fixed some erroneous EXPORT() stuff.
- Remove mispatched U300 Kconfig and Makefile entries
- Fixed a number of review comments from Stephen Warren, not all
  of them - still WIP. But I think the new mapping that will
  specify which function goes to which pin mux controller address
  50% of your concerns (else beat me up).

ChangeLog v4->v5:

- Defined a "position" for each function, so the pin controller now
  tracks a function in a certain position, and the pinmux maps define
  what position you want the function in. (Feedback from Stephen
  Warren and Sascha Hauer).
- Since we now need to request a combined function+position from
  the machine mapping table that connect mux settings to drivers,
  it was extended with a position field and a name field. The
  name field is now used if you e.g. need to switch between two
  mux map settings at runtime.
- Switched from a class device to using struct bus_type for this
  subsystem. Verified sysfs functionality: seems to work fine.
  (Feedback from Arnd Bergmann and Greg Kroah-Hartman)
- Define a per pincontroller list of GPIO ranges from the GPIO
  pin space that can be handled by the pin controller. These can
  be added one by one at runtime. (Feedback from Barry Song)
- Expanded documentation of regulator_[get|enable|disable|put]
  semantics.
- Fixed a number of review comments from Barry Song. (Thanks!)

ChangeLog v5->v6:

- Create an abstract pin group concept that can sort pins into
  named and enumerated groups no matter what the use of these
  groups may be, one possible usecase is a group of pins being
  muxed in or so. The intention is however to also use these
  groups for other pin control activities.
- Make it compulsory for pinmux functions to associate with
  at least one group, so the abstract pin group concept is used
  to define the groups of pins affected by a pinmux function.
  The pinmux driver interface has been altered so as to enforce
  a function to list applicable groups per function.
- Provide an optional .group entry in the pinmux machine map
  so the map can select beteween different available groups
  to be used with a certain function.
- Consequent changes all over the place so that e.g. debugfs
  present reasonable information about the world.
- Drop the per-pin mux (*config) function in the pinmux_ops
  struct - I was afraid that this would start to be used for
  things totally unrelated to muxing, we can introduce that to
  the generic struct pinctrl_ops if needed. I want to keep
  muxing orthogonal to other pin control subjects and not mix
  these things up.

ChangeLog v6->v7:

- Make it possible to have several map entries matching the
  same device, pin controller and function, but using
  a different group, and alter the semantics so that
  pinmux_get() will pick all matching map entries, and
  store the associated groups in a list. The list will
  then be iterated over at pinmux_enable()/pinmux_disable()
  and corresponding driver functions called for each
  defined group. Notice that you're only allowed to map
  multiple *groups* to the same
  { device, pin controller, function } triplet, attempts
  to map the same device to multiple pin controllers will
  for example fail. This is hopefully the crucial feature
  requested by Stephen Warren.
- Add a pinmux hogging field to the pinmux mapping entries,
  and enable the pinmux core to hog pinmux map entries.
  This currently only works for pinmuxes without assigned
  devices as it looks now, but with device trees we can
  look up the corresponding struct device * entries when
  we register the pinmux driver, and have it hog each
  pinmux map in turn, for a simple approach to
  non-dynamic pin muxing. This addresses an issue from
  Grant Likely that the machine should take care of as
  much of the pinmux setup as possible, not the devices.
  By supplying a list of hogs, it can now instruct the
  core to take care of any static mappings.
- Switch pinmux group retrieveal function to grab an
  array of strings representing the groups rather than an
  array of unsigned and rewrite accordingly.
- Alter debugfs to show the grouplist handled by each
  pinmux. Also add a list of hogs.
- Dynamically allocate a struct pinmux at pinmux_get() and
  free it at pinmux_put(), then add these to the global
  list of pinmuxes active as we go along.
- Go over the list of pinmux maps at pinmux_get() time
  and repeatedly apply matches.
- Retrieve applicable groups per function from the driver
  as a string array rather than a unsigned array, then
  lookup the enumerators.
- Make the device to pinmux map a singleton - only allow the
  mapping table to be registered once and even tag the
  registration function with __init so it surely won't be
  abused.
- Create a separate debugfs file to view the pinmux map at
  runtime.
- Introduce a spin lock to the pin descriptor struct, lock it
  when modifying pin status entries. Reported by Stijn Devriendt.
- Fix up the documentation after review from Stephen Warren.
- Let the GPIO ranges give names as const char * instead of some
  fixed-length string.
- add a function to unregister GPIO ranges to mirror the
  registration function.
- Privatized the struct pinctrl_device and removed it from the
  <linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h> API, the drivers do not need to know
  the members of this struct. It is now in the local header
  "core.h".
- Rename the concept of "anonymous" mux maps to "system" muxes
  and add convenience macros and documentation.

ChangeLog v7->v8:

- Delete the leftover pinmux_config() function from the
 <linux/pinctrl/pinmux.h> header.
- Fix a race condition found by Stijn Devriendt in pin_request()

ChangeLog v8->v9:

- Drop the bus_type and the sysfs attributes and all, we're not on
  the clear about how this should be used for e.g. userspace
  interfaces so let us save this for the future.
- Use the right name in MAINTAINERS, PIN CONTROL rather than
  PINMUX
- Don't kfree() the device state holder, let the .remove() callback
  handle this.
- Fix up numerous kerneldoc headers to have one line for the function
  description and more verbose documentation below the parameters

ChangeLog v9->v10:
- pinctrl: EXPORT_SYMBOL needs export.h, folded in a patch
  from Steven Rothwell
- fix pinctrl_register error handling, folded in a patch from
  Axel Lin
- Various fixes to documentation text so that it's consistent.
- Removed pointless comment from drivers/Kconfig
- Removed dependency on SYSFS since we removed the bus in
  v9.
- Renamed hopelessly abbreviated pctldev_* functions to the
  more verbose pinctrl_dev_*
- Drop mutex properly when looking up GPIO ranges
- Return NULL instead of ERR_PTR() errors on registration of
  pin controllers, using cast pointers is fragile. We can
  live without the detailed error codes for sure.
