[RFC PATCH v1 1/5] sc_phy:SmartCard(SC) PHY interface to SC controller

From: Satish Patel
Date: Mon Jan 06 2014 - 07:08:25 EST


SmartCard controller uses this interface to communicate with
SmartCard via PHY

Some SmartCard PHY has multiple slots for cards.
This inerface also enables controller to communicate
with one or more SmartCard connected over phy.

interface structure includes following APIs
- set/get config
- activate/deactivate smart card
- warm reset
- register_notify (for card insert/remove/overheat)
- unregister_notify

+ SmartCard PHY Interface
+ Satish Patel <satish.patel@xxxxxx>
+
+This document explains the SmartCard interface between SmartCard
+controller and SmartCard phy. Document also describes how-to-use.
+
+1. Why SmartCard PHY Interface?
+
+The use of smartcard is increasing in embedded industry. As smartcard
+not only prevent duplication but also, brings key based authentication
+flow into picture.
+
+SmartCard standards like EMV(EuroPay-Mastercard-Visa) are becoming
+mandatory for payment terminals.
+
+Till date, most of the SmartCard readers are based on USB serial
+interface. Which drives its logic within firmware lies on device.
+Few are based on FPGA solutions. But now SoCs are coming up with
+inbuilt smartcard controller. e.g. TI-AM43x
+
+Role of SmartCard controller and SmartCard phy:
+
+Smartcard Phy:
+Forms electrical interface between controller and SmartCard. Phy
+enables access to more than one smartcard and in addition it provides
+fast deactivation logic when card gets removed from the slot. It can
+also generate the signals like card insert/remove/overheat etc.
+
+Smartcard Controller:
+In built mechanism to meet EMV L1 specification (e.g. T=0, T=1
+protocol timings, ATR timeout etc..) for SmartCard transaction. In
+addition to this, it has FIFO to store tx/rx bytes, internal state
+machine for ATR, Tx/Rx, Synchronous/Asynchronous mode, timing
+counters etc..
+
+Controller can also have direct interface through which SmartCard
+can be connected without phy.
+
+Below is the brief of SmartCard block diagram from user to h/w
+layer.

+
+At present in Linux there is no public interface exist which acts as
+bridge between controller and phy. Mostly vendors uses proprietary
+solution in such cases.
+
+2. Introduction to SmartCard PHY interface
+
+SmartCard PHY interface that exposes phy's capabilities to the smart
+card controller. SmartCard controller uses this interface to
+communicate with SmartCard via phy.
+
+Such capabilities are:
+1) Some SmartCard phy (e.g. TDA8026-NxP) has multiple slots for smart
+cards. This interface enables controller to communicate with specific
+SmartCard inserted to the specific phy's slot.
+
+2) Warm reset to SmartCard inserted to phy slot.
+
+3) Bit banging of SmartCard pins to support vedor specific memory
+cards. Mostly when it comes to sychorous SmartCard
+
+4) Notification of card insert/remove/overheat etc.
+
+
+3. How to use
+
+SmartCard PHY:
+The SmartCard PHY driver, who wants to be interfaced with SmartCard
+controller require to follow below step
+
+- include "sc_phy.h"
+
+- use "sc_phy" structure as driver(client) data. PHY driver can use
+'void *pdata' of "sc_phy" to hold its private data(if any)
+
+- implement following capabilities (whichever is applicable)
+ set_config
+ get_config
+ activate_card
+ deactivate_card
+ warm_reset
+ register_notify
+ unregister_notify
+e.g.
+phyxx_init()
+{
+
+ struct sc_phy *sc_phy;
+ struct phyxx *pdata;
+
+ ...
+ ...
+ sc_phy->pdata = pdata;
+ sc_phy->set_config = phyxx_set_config;
+ sc_phy->get_config = phyxx_get_config;
+ sc_phy->activate_card = phyxx_activate_card;
+}
+
+Device Tree Binding:
+Refer following reference to bind SmartCard PHY with SmartCard
+controller.
+
+ /* SmartCard PHY node */
+ &i2c0 {
+ clock-frequency = <10000000>;
+ phyxx: phyxx@yy {
+ compatible = "xyz,abc";
+ reg = <0xyy>;
+ };
+ };
+
+ /* SmartCard Controller node*/
+ &usim0 {
+ ....
+ phy = <&phyxx>;
+ phy-slots = <1>;
+ };
+
+SmartCard Controller:
+- Access PHY interface using DT.
+Refer below example code
+
+ phy_i2c = of_find_i2c_device_by_node(phy_node);
+ if (phy_i2c == NULL) {
+ ret = -EINVAL;
+ }
+
+ /* get phy interface */
+ sc_phy = (struct sc_phy *)i2c_get_clientdata(phy_i2c);
+
+ /* register notifier */
+ sc_phy->register_notify(sc_phy, &notifier_cb, (void *)data);
+
+
+- Controller can use then after all defined SmartCard PHY interface
