I see that you are not using the list. Any particular reason for that ?

IMO, that *might* help to reuse more code, but I may be wrong. Let's see
Some commands like DVFS take more time compared to simple query type of
commands. Queuing does help there instead of blocking the channel until
the receipt of response.

I'll like to use the list, but, the "cmd" value is not stored in the shared tx
memory, so we cannot recover the original tranfer from reading the tx memory cmd.


Even in the current driver we read the mem->command and search the list
in scpi_process_cmd. Instead *(u32 *)msg gives the command value, no ?

This is why I added a "struct scpi_xfer *t;" in the scpi_chan structure to store
the current transfer.


I don't like that. I am trying to get rid of that.
1. list is not being used
2. scpi_xfer is stashed even though we have only one command in
progress at any time in your case.

May be you can copy msg->cmd to msg->slot and that may help to reuse
more code or worst-case keep them aligned.

Yes, it could be. But since the msg is not reused bu the tx_prepare and handle_response,
we can pass anything here.

IIUC, we should be able to handle it using msg pte in handle_remote_msg

And for the rockchip case, we must pass an xfer unrelated pointer here since they need
a specially crafted memory structure for the mailbox.


We can consider that when they upstream the driver. Let's not consider
it now.


+ msg->cmd = PACK_LEGACY_SCPI_CMD(cmd, tx_len);
+ msg->tx_buf = tx_buf;
+ msg->tx_len = tx_len;
+ msg->rx_buf = rx_buf;
+ msg->rx_len = rx_len;
+ init_completion(&msg->done);
+ scpi_chan->t = msg;
+
+ ret = mbox_send_message(scpi_chan->chan, &msg->cmd);

If slot is initialized to cmd, then you can pass msg itself above.
Then you can evaluate how much this function deviates from
scpi_send_message and try to re-use.

The function deviates quite a lot since the queing is not used.


You have not given me the reason for not using the list yet.
If the msg ptr is used in scpi_handle_remote_msg, you should be able to
make use of it.

[Nit]: Not sure if we need this as a separate patch. It might just
generate warnings, anyways we can merge into one later.

I'll prefer to have functionnaly separate patches for now to clarify the changes.
I'll eventually merge them for the final apply if needed.


Ah OK, then fine.
