Hi Rob and Amelie,

With regards to discussions in this thread,
For https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201020093627.256885-2-badhri@xxxxxxxxxx,
I can send in a patch to update the new-source-frs-typec-current property.
Amelie, If you are already planning to send that I am fine with that as well.
Let me know !

To summarize the changes for new-source-frs-typec-current would be,
1. Rename to frs-new-source-opmode
2. Use string values instead of u32 similar to typec-power-opmode.
Are these correct ?


You can send patches to rename the new-source-frq-typec-current property into frs-new-source-opmode, and update the tcpm as well. You can use the typec_find_pwr_opmode(), it will return
enum typec_pwr_opmode {
TYPEC_PWR_MODE_USB,
TYPEC_PWR_MODE_1_5A,
TYPEC_PWR_MODE_3_0A,
TYPEC_PWR_MODE_PD,
};
Then you have to translate it for FRS.

I'll send a new version of my series to document typec-power-opmode and update stusb160x driver and stm32mp15xx-dkx device tree accordingly.

Thanks,
Amelie


Thanks,
Badhri

frs is used for Fast Role Swap defined in USB PD spec.
I understand it allows to get the same information but I'm wondering why
the property name is limited to -frs- in this case. What about a
non-power delivery USB-C connector ?

I've got no idea. The folks that know USB-C and PD details need to get
together and work all this out. To me, it looks like the same thing...


It looks but...

The purpose of power-opmode property is to configure the USB-C controllers,
especially the non-PD USB-C controllers to determine the power operation
mode that the Type C connector will support and will advertise through CC
pins when it has no power delivery support, whatever the power role: Sink,
Source or Dual
The management of the property is the same that data-role and power-role
properties, and done by USB Type-C Connector Class.

new-source-frs-typec-current specifies initial current capability of the new
source when vSafe5V is applied during PD3.0 Fast Role Swap. So here, this
property is not applied at usb-c controller configuration level, but during
PD Fast Role Swap, so when the Sink become the Source.
Moreover, the related driver code says FRS can only be supported by DRP
ports. So new-source-frs-typec-current property, in addition to being
specific to PD, is also dedicated to DRP usb-c controller.
The property is managed by Type-C Port Controller Manager for PD.

But it's the same set of possible values, right? So we can align the
values at least.


USB Power Delivery FRS values are defined in
include/dt-bindings/usb/pd.h

I think this can be changed if both can be aligned.

to fit with drivers/usb/typec/tcpm/tcpm.c
frs_typec_current enum.

USB-C power operation mode values are defined in
include/linux/usb/typec.h with typec_pwr_opmode enum and matching with
string values of typec_pwr_opmodes tab.

USB PD requires USB-C.
USB-C doesn't requires USB PD.

drivers/usb/typec/tcpm/tcpm.c already used typec_pwr_opmode values.

USB PD specification Table 6-14 Fixed Supply PDO says:
Fast Role Swap required USB Type-C Current (see also [USB Type-C 2.0]):
Value | Description
00b | Fast Swap not supported (default)
01b | Default USB Power
10b | 1.5A @ 5V
11b | 3.0A @ 5V

This is the value in PDO of sink, the FRS property value(or after translated)
actually is used to compare with above value.

So I think both properties can share the same "value", maybe string
like below

10 static const char * const typec_pwr_opmodes[] = {
11 [TYPEC_PWR_MODE_USB] = "default",
12 [TYPEC_PWR_MODE_1_5A] = "1.5A",
13 [TYPEC_PWR_MODE_3_0A] = "3.0A",


Note the *see also USB Type-C 2.0*.

USB Type-C specification 4.6.2.1 USB Type-C Current says:
The USB Type-C connector uses CC pins for configuration including an
ability for a Source to advertise to its port partner (Sink) the amount
of current it shall supply:
• Default is the as-configured for high-power operation current value as
defined by the USB Specification (500 mA for USB 2.0 ports; 900 mA or
1,500 mA for USB 3.2 ports in single-lane or dual-lane operation,
respectively)
• 1.5 A
• 3.0 A

Can we align the names in some way? power-opmode and frs-source-opmode
or ??

how about typec-power-opmode and frs-new-source-opmode

Sure.




I let USB PD specialists answer.

*frs* property fits with USB PD specification, so with USB PD protocol.
*power-opmode fits with USB Type-C specification, so with USB-C hardware
support.

Are these 2 properties mutually exclusive?

I think yes.

This should work to express that:

allOf:
- not:
required:
- typec-power-opmode
- frs-new-source-opmode
