[PATCH v3 01/10] Add auxiliary bus support

[Dave Ertman]

Add support for the Auxiliary Bus, auxiliary_device and auxiliary_driver.
It enables drivers to create an auxiliary_device and bind an
auxiliary_driver to it.

The bus supports probe/remove shutdown and suspend/resume callbacks.
Each auxiliary_device has a unique string based id; driver binds to
an auxiliary_device based on this id through the bus.

+Auxiliary Bus
+=============
+
+In some subsystems, the functionality of the core device (PCI/ACPI/other) is
+too complex for a single device to be managed as a monolithic block or a part of
+the functionality needs to be exposed to a different subsystem.  Splitting the
+functionality into smaller orthogonal devices would make it easier to manage
+data, power management and domain-specific interaction with the hardware. A key
+requirement for such a split is that there is no dependency on a physical bus,
+device, register accesses or regmap support. These individual devices split from
+the core cannot live on the platform bus as they are not physical devices that
+are controlled by DT/ACPI. The same argument applies for not using MFD in this
+scenario as MFD relies on individual function devices being physical devices.
+
+An example for this kind of requirement is the audio subsystem where a single
+IP is handling multiple entities such as HDMI, Soundwire, local devices such as
+mics/speakers etc. The split for the core's functionality can be arbitrary or
+be defined by the DSP firmware topology and include hooks for test/debug. This
+allows for the audio core device to be minimal and focused on hardware-specific
+control and communication.
+
+The auxiliary bus is intended to be minimal, generic and avoid domain-specific
+assumptions. Each auxiliary_device represents a part of its parent
+functionality. The generic behavior can be extended and specialized as needed
+by encapsulating an auxiliary_device within other domain-specific structures and
+the use of .ops callbacks. Devices on the auxiliary bus do not share any
+structures and the use of a communication channel with the parent is
+domain-specific.
+
+When Should the Auxiliary Bus Be Used
+=====================================
+
+The auxiliary bus is to be used when a driver and one or more kernel modules,
+who share a common header file with the driver, need a mechanism to connect and
+provide access to a shared object allocated by the auxiliary_device's
+registering driver.  The registering driver for the auxiliary_device(s) and the
+kernel module(s) registering auxiliary_drivers can be from the same subsystem,
+or from multiple subsystems.
+
+The emphasis here is on a common generic interface that keeps subsystem
+customization out of the bus infrastructure.
+
+One example could be a multi-port PCI network device that is rdma-capable and
+needs to export this functionality and attach to an rdma driver in another
+subsystem.  The PCI driver will allocate and register an auxiliary_device for
+each physical function on the NIC.  The rdma driver will register an
+auxiliary_driver that will be matched with and probed for each of these
+auxiliary_devices.  This will give the rdma driver access to the shared data/ops
+in the PCI drivers shared object to establish a connection with the PCI driver.
+
+Another use case is for the PCI device to be split out into multiple sub
+functions.  For each sub function an auxiliary_device will be created.  A PCI
+sub function driver will bind to such devices that will create its own one or
+more class devices.  A PCI sub function auxiliary device will likely be
+contained in a struct with additional attributes such as user defined sub
+function number and optional attributes such as resources and a link to the
+parent device.  These attributes could be used by systemd/udev; and hence should
+be initialized before a driver binds to an auxiliary_device.
+
+Auxiliary Device
+================
+
+An auxiliary_device is created and registered to represent a part of its parent
+device's functionality. It is given a name that, combined with the registering
+drivers KBUILD_MODNAME, creates a match_name that is used for driver binding,
+and an id that combined with the match_name provide a unique name to register
+with the bus subsystem.
+
+Registering an auxiliary_device is a two-step process.  First you must call
+auxiliary_device_init(), which will check several aspects of the
+auxiliary_device struct and perform a device_initialize().  After this step
+completes, any error state must have a call to auxiliary_device_unin() in its
+resolution path.  The second step in registering an auxiliary_device is to
+perform a call to auxiliary_device_add(), which will set the name of the device
+and add the device to the bus.
+
+Unregistering an auxiliary_device is also a two-step process to mirror the
+register process.  First will be a call to auxiliary_device_delete(), then
+followed by a call to auxiliary_device_unin().
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	struct auxiliary_device {
+		struct device dev;
+                const char *name;
+		u32 id;
+	};
+
+If two auxiliary_devices both with a match_name "mod.foo" are registered onto
+the bus, they must have unique id values (e.g. "x" and "y") so that the
+registered devices names will be "mod.foo.x" and "mod.foo.y".  If match_name +
+id are not unique, then the device_add will fail and generate an error message.
+
+The auxiliary_device.dev.type.release or auxiliary_device.dev.release must be
+populated with a non-NULL pointer to successfully register the auxiliary_device.
+
+The auxiliary_device.dev.parent must also be populated.
+
+Auxiliary Device Memory Model and Lifespan
+------------------------------------------
+
+When a kernel driver registers an auxiliary_device on the auxiliary bus, we will
+use the nomenclature to refer to this kernel driver as a registering driver.  It
+is the entity that will allocate memory for the auxiliary_device and register it
+on the auxiliary bus.  It is important to note that, as opposed to the platform
+bus, the registering driver is wholly responsible for the management for the
+memory used for the driver object.
+
+A parent object, defined in the shared header file, will contain the
+auxiliary_device.  It will also contain a pointer to the shared object(s), which
+will also be defined in the shared header.  Both the parent object and the
+shared object(s) will be allocated by the registering driver.  This layout
+allows the auxiliary_driver's registering module to perform a container_of()
+call to go from the pointer to the auxiliary_device, that is passed during the
+call to the auxiliary_driver's probe function, up to the parent object, and then
+have access to the shared object(s).
+
+The memory for the auxiliary_device will be freed only in its release()
+callback flow as defined by its registering driver.
+
+The memory for the shared object(s) must have a lifespan equal to, or greater
+than, the lifespan of the memory for the auxiliary_device.  The auxiliary_driver
+should only consider that this shared object is valid as long as the
+auxiliary_device is still registered on the auxiliary bus.  It is up to the
+registering driver to manage (e.g. free or keep available) the memory for the
+shared object beyond the life of the auxiliary_device.
+
+Registering driver must unregister all auxiliary devices before its registering
+parent device's remove() is completed.
+
+Auxiliary Drivers
+=================
+
+Auxiliary drivers follow the standard driver model convention, where
+discovery/enumeration is handled by the core, and drivers
+provide probe() and remove() methods. They support power management
+and shutdown notifications using the standard conventions.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	struct auxiliary_driver {
+		int (*probe)(struct auxiliary_device *,
+                             const struct auxiliary_device_id *id);
+		int (*remove)(struct auxiliary_device *);
+		void (*shutdown)(struct auxiliary_device *);
+		int (*suspend)(struct auxiliary_device *, pm_message_t);
+		int (*resume)(struct auxiliary_device *);
+		struct device_driver driver;
+		const struct auxiliary_device_id *id_table;
+	};
+
+Auxiliary drivers register themselves with the bus by calling
+auxiliary_driver_register(). The id_table contains the match_names of auxiliary
+devices that a driver can bind with.
+
+Example Usage
+=============
+
+Auxiliary devices are created and registered by a subsystem-level core device
+that needs to break up its functionality into smaller fragments. One way to
+extend the scope of an auxiliary_device would be to encapsulate it within a
+domain-specific structure defined by the parent device. This structure contains
+the auxiliary_device and any associated shared data/callbacks needed to
+establish the connection with the parent.
+
+An example would be:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+        struct foo {
+		struct auxiliary_device auxdev;
+		void (*connect)(struct auxiliary_device *auxdev);
+		void (*disconnect)(struct auxiliary_device *auxdev);
+		void *data;
+        };
+
+The parent device would then register the auxiliary_device by calling
+auxiliary_device_init(), and then auxiliary_device_add(), with the pointer to
+the auxdev member of the above structure. The parent would provide a name for
+the auxiliary_device that, combined with the parent's KBUILD_MODNAME, will
+create a match_name that will be used for matching and binding with a driver.
+
+Whenever an auxiliary_driver is registered, based on the match_name, the
+auxiliary_driver's probe() is invoked for the matching devices.  The
+auxiliary_driver can also be encapsulated inside custom drivers that make the
+core device's functionality extensible by adding additional domain-specific ops
+as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	struct my_ops {
+		void (*send)(struct auxiliary_device *auxdev);
+		void (*receive)(struct auxiliary_device *auxdev);
+	};
+
+
+	struct my_driver {
+		struct auxiliary_driver auxiliary_drv;
+		const struct my_ops ops;
+	};
+
+An example of this type of usage would be:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	const struct auxiliary_device_id my_auxiliary_id_table[] = {
+		{ .name = "foo_mod.foo_dev" },
+		{ },
+	};
+
+	const struct my_ops my_custom_ops = {
+		.send = my_tx,
+		.receive = my_rx,
+	};
+
+	const struct my_driver my_drv = {
+		.auxiliary_drv = {
+			.name = "myauxiliarydrv",
+			.id_table = my_auxiliary_id_table,
+			.probe = my_probe,
+			.remove = my_remove,
+			.shutdown = my_shutdown,
+		},
+		.ops = my_custom_ops,
+	};
