Ummm, you mean grammar error I guess? Sure, I will rephrase.

pmc_core_init().

Thanks for sending this. This is certainly useful to support suspend-resume
functionality for this driver which is otherwise only possible with PM
notifiers otherwise and that is not desirable. Initially this was a PCI
driver and after design discussion it was converted to module. I would like
to consult Andy and Srinivas for their opinion about binding it to actual
platform bus instead of the virtual bus as in its current form. In one of the
internal versions, we used a known acpi PNP HID.

Sure, if there is an established ACPI PNP HID, then we could bind it
using that, on platforms where we are still developing BIOS /
coreboot. However, this might not be possible for shipping systems
(Kabylake / skylake) where there is no plan to change the BIOS.

In one of our internal patches, i had used HID of power engine plugin. IIRC, During my testing it was working on KBL, CNL with UEFI BIOS but i highly recommend testing it.

---8<----8<-----

+static const struct acpi_device_id pmc_acpi_ids[] = {

+ {"INT33A1", 0}, /* _HID for Intel Power Engine, _CID PNP0D80*/

+ { }

};
We do not have this device in any of our ACPI tables today. If Intel
can confirm that this is a well known HID to be used for attaching
this driver, we can start putting it on our platform's ACPI going
forward (Whiskeylake, Cometlake, Cannonlake, Icelake ...). But I
believe we also need to have this driver attach with the device on
older platforms (Skylake, Kabylake, Amberlake) that are already
shipping, and running a Non UEFI BIOS (that may not have this HID
since it is not published).

Currently the intel_pmc_core driver attaches itself to the following
table of CPU families, without regard to whether it has that HID in
the ACPI or not:

static const struct x86_cpu_id intel_pmc_core_ids[] = {
INTEL_CPU_FAM6(SKYLAKE_MOBILE, spt_reg_map),
INTEL_CPU_FAM6(SKYLAKE_DESKTOP, spt_reg_map),
INTEL_CPU_FAM6(KABYLAKE_MOBILE, spt_reg_map),
INTEL_CPU_FAM6(KABYLAKE_DESKTOP, spt_reg_map),
INTEL_CPU_FAM6(CANNONLAKE_MOBILE, cnp_reg_map),
INTEL_CPU_FAM6(ICELAKE_MOBILE, icl_reg_map),
{}
};

In the past i tried one hybrid approach i.e. PCI and Platform driver at the same time. Based on that, i feel that this idea of spilling probe like this may not be the best option. The ACPI CID that i suggested is available on most Intel Core Platforms that i have worked on and i can help you in verifying it with UEFI BIOS if you want. Meanwhile, please see this https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9806565/ it gives some background about this ACPI ID and also points to the LPIT spec.


So to avoid a regression, I suggest that we still maintain the above
table (may be eliminate few entries) and always attach if the CPU is
among the table, and if the CPU is not among the table, use the ACPI
HID to attach. I propose to attach to at least Skylake and Kabylake
systems using the table above, and for Canonlake and Icelake and
newer, we can rely on BIOS providing the ACPI HID. Of course I do not
know if all non-Google Canonlake/Icelake platforms will have this HID
in their BIOS. If we are not sure, we can include Canonlake and
Icelake also in that list, an. Please let me know what do you think.

If Coreboot firmware can not be updated for the shipping devices, then can Chromium kernel take the suggested deviation which i think gets updated OTA periodically? For upstream, I am waiting to hear from Rafael, Andi, David and Srinivas for their inputs.


Thanks,

Rajat
