[PATCH net-next v3 2/3] net: wwan: Add RPMSG WWAN CTRL driver

From: Stephan Gerhold
Date: Fri Jun 18 2021 - 13:37:55 EST


The remote processor messaging (rpmsg) subsystem provides an interface
to communicate with other remote processors. On many Qualcomm SoCs this
is used to communicate with an integrated modem DSP that implements most
of the modem functionality and provides high-level protocols like
QMI or AT to allow controlling the modem.

For QMI, most older Qualcomm SoCs (e.g. MSM8916/MSM8974) have
a standalone "DATA5_CNTL" channel that allows exchanging QMI messages.
Note that newer SoCs (e.g. SDM845) only allow exchanging QMI messages
via a shared QRTR channel that is available via a socket API on Linux.

For AT, the "DATA4" channel accepts at least a limited set of AT
commands, on many older and newer Qualcomm SoCs, although QMI is
typically the preferred control protocol.

Often there are additional QMI/AT channels (usually named DATA*_CNTL
for QMI and DATA* for AT), but it is not clear if those are really
functional on all devices. Also, at the moment there is no use case
for having multiple QMI/AT ports. If needed more channels could be
added later after more testing.

Note that the data path (network interface) is entirely separate
from the control path and varies between Qualcomm SoCs, e.g. "IPA"
on newer Qualcomm SoCs or "BAM-DMUX" on some older ones.

The RPMSG WWAN CTRL driver exposes the QMI/AT control ports via the
WWAN subsystem, and therefore allows userspace like ModemManager to
set up the modem. Until now, ModemManager had to use the RPMSG-specific
rpmsg-char where the channels must be explicitly exposed as a char
device first and don't show up directly in sysfs.

The driver is a fairly simple glue layer between WWAN and RPMSG
and is mostly based on the existing mhi_wwan_ctrl.c and rpmsg_char.c.

Changes in v3:
- Clarify commit message, add note about additional channels
that could be added to the driver in the future when needed.

Changes in v2: None

Notes from v1:

I have mainly tested this driver on Qualcomm MSM8916 with the qcom_smd
RPMSG provider, together with both ModemManager and oFono in userspace.

Note that this driver can also work somewhat with the "glink" RPMSG provider
on newer SoCs (mainly for AT ports), but for some reason dynamically opening
and closing channels like this driver and rpmsg-char do is horribly broken
there. I'm hoping someone with more experience and hardware can fix that later.

+ RPMSG WWAN CTRL allows modems available via RPMSG channels to expose
+ different modem protocols/ports to userspace, including AT and QMI.
+ These protocols can be accessed directly from userspace
+ (e.g. AT commands) or via libraries/tools (e.g. libqmi, libqcdm...).

+ This is mainly used for modems integrated into many Qualcomm SoCs,
+ e.g. for AT and QMI on Qualcomm MSM8916 or MSM8974. Note that many
