[PATCH v9 00/19] Add support for FDMA DMA controller and slim core rproc found on STi chipsets

[Peter Griffin]

Hi Vinod, Bjorn, Patrice,

This patchset adds support for the Flexible Direct Memory Access (FDMA) core
found on STi chipsets from STMicroelectronics. The FDMA is a slim core CPU
with a dedicated firmware. It is a general purpose DMA controller supporting
16 independent channels and data can be moved from memory to memory or between
memory and paced latency critical real time targets.

After quite a few review rounds, I'm hoping this series can get taken for v4.9.

After some discussion with the DT maintainers I've removed the firmware
name from DT, and now generate the name based on the compatible string.

I've also dropped the dma xbar support for the moment, as I believe it should be
re-worked based on some of the xbar API's that TI recently added.

V3 also included some updates to the ASoC st,sti-asoc-card.txt DT documentation
to make the doc align with the driver code. These patches have already been applied
and are now dropped from this series. Other changes included enabling the ASoC drivers
in multi_v7 defconfig and adding DT patches for Patrices STi DT tree to enable ASoC
on STiH407/10 based platforms using the fdma driver.

v4 includes a new slim core rproc driver for loading the slim elf firmware. This
enables us to use the generic rproc elf loading code. This has deliberately not
been implemented as a platform_driver, to avoid having to have double mappings of
I/O memory from two device drivers, and also to ensure that the DT node reflects
the actual hardware rather than Linux subsystems. The slim core is the basis
for various pieces of IP in STi chipsets and the intention is that other drivers
(e.g. demux) can also be migrated over to using the slim rproc for their
elf firmware loading and start/stop control.

v5 includes various updates from Bjorn related to the slim rproc implementation.
It also includes a patch to make rsc_table optional in remoteproc_core and various
other cleanups and review feedback from Vinod to do with the actual fdma
implementation. It also fixes a regression introduced in v4 when all drivers are
built-in spotted by Aranud.

v6 goes back to having a dummy rsc_table and fixes some kbuild warnings. However
a change is still required in rproc core when all drivers are built-in as the initial
async firmware resource table parsing can fail when built-in, which causes subsequent calls
to rproc_boot() to also fail. V6 changes this behaviour to retry rproc_fw_config_virtio()
from rproc_boot(), in cases where it previously failed, as at this point we know the
irmwaref has been successfully obtained.

v7 removes all remoteproc core changes required to get -EPROBE_DEFER working properly
when firmware resides on a rootfs and compiling as built-in. The fdma driver now relies on
the firmware being available in the initramfs when building fdma as built-in. This has
been tested and works well. If remoteproc subsystem implements a new mechanism for
firmware on late mounted root filesystems, we can migrate this driver over to use it
at that point.

v8 actions some review feedback from Bjorn to the slim rproc driver, and also includes
a patch which fixes a recursive Kconfig error which is triggered when st_fdma selects
slim_rproc driver. The series has also been rebased on v4.8-rc3.

v9 actions some review feedback from Bjorn, Lee and Vinod. See below. Importantly a bug
was found during testing now that the platform boots without clk_ignore_unused parameter
whereby the clocks would not be enabled properly before firmware loading was attempted.

regards,

Peter.
