Hello Rob,

since I'm not the best at reviewing dt-bindings, I always try to leave that to

other reviewers; in which case, thank you for your awesome review activity on

all of these (and helping me a lot on some of my attempts to write yaml..!!)


In this case, though, since I do have knowledge about the platform, it's probably
worth for me to try to address some of your questions, on at least this one.


This patch adds DT binding document for Media Data Path 3 (MDP3)
a unit in multimedia system used for scaling and color format convert.

+description: |
+ Mediatek Read Direct Memory Access(RDMA) component used to do read DMA.
+ It contains one line buffer to store the sufficient pixel data, and
+ must be siblings to the central MMSYS_CONFIG node.
+ For a description of the MMSYS_CONFIG binding, see
+ Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/mediatek/mediatek,mmsys.yaml
+ for details.
+ The 1st RDMA is also used to be a controller node in Media Data Path 3(MDP3)
+ that containing MMSYS, MUTEX, GCE and SCP settings.
+
+properties:
+ compatible:
+ oneOf:
+ - items:
+ # MDP3 controller node
+ - const: mediatek,mt8183-mdp3

How is this more specific than this:

+ - const: mediatek,mt8183-mdp3-rdma0


Probably, oneOf is not the right choice here... "mediatek,mt8183-mdp3" is needed
to probe the "main" mdp3 core pdev, while RDMA0 is a necessary component (as in
this driver uses the component framework, and rdma0 is required for functionality,
as far as I understand).

This shouldn't be a choice, meaning that defining mdp3-rdma0 without mdp3 is
completely useless, as there wouldn't be anything else initializing that component,
nor sub-components of that.

This needs a better description. What is DIP? What is direct-link?

I agree, this needs a better description.

+ # MDP direct-link input path selection, create a

+ - enum:
+ # MDP direct-link output path selection, create a
+ # component for path connectedness of HW pipe control

+ - mediatek,mt8183-mdp3-imgi
+ - enum:
+ # Output DMA of ISP PASS2 (DIP) module for YUV image output
+ - mediatek,mt8183-mdp3-exto

There's only 1 possible value for mediatek,mdp3-comps, so why does it
need to be in DT?


The wanted logic here (I believe) is that, depending on firmware capabilities
and/or platform/board capabilities, you may miss some subcomponents like IMGI
and/or EXTO.
As for DL1/2 and PATH1/2... DL1+PATH1 is surely critically necessary for the
functionality of the MDP3 RDMA... I don't know whether it's possible that we
get any fw/platform/device that's not using DL2/PATH2 at all.

Moudy, can you please explain?

+ mediatek,mm-mutex:

Is this some sort of h/w lock? We have a standard binding for that.


There's a story behind that one: this was part of mtk (display) DRM drivers, then
it was moved to soc/mediatek/mtk-mutex.c as it started being shared.

I wonder if the mm-mutex can be rewritten and moved to hwspinlock... this driver
is growing and now, with the introduction of MDP3, we're seeing some more.

Though, it's definitely worth mentioning that the usage of MediaTek's mm-mutex is
varying a bit between the drm case and the mdp3 case as, here, we have a "command
queue" mechanism that is used for commands ordering in HW.
This is a very complex architecture that has very specific requirements.
For how I see it, migrating that to hwspinlock would require an almost complete
reimplementation of soc/mediatek/*, which would take a considerable amount of
time and efforts.
I'm mostly sure that I can help with that, but for how things are looking right

now, between refactoring, getting code solid, going through sane reviews and a
final merge, I'd say that this will take 8-12 months from now.

For this reason, I would propose to perform a slow and steady migration of the
MediaTek mmsys, scpsys, mutex over time, but only after getting in the support
for the new SoCs and functionality for the older ones, provided in this series
and some others that were already sent by MTK, half (or more) of which have
already been merged.

Again, what's the difference between 0 and 1?

I've probably asked that before, but without a sufficient reasoning
here in the schema I'm just going to keep asking the same question.

This can probably be, instead, something like

compatible = "mediatek,mt8183-mdp3-rsz";
reg = < .... >;
mediatek,instance-id = <0>;
gce reg, clocks, blah...

or

compatible = "mediatek,mt8183-mdp3-rsz";
reg = < ...rsz0... >, < ...rsz1... >;
reg-names = "rsz0", "rsz1";
gce reg, clocks, blah...


...In any case, if MediaTek chose to separate these like that, I guess that
there will be differences in newer SoCs that would make that kind of binding
much necessary.

Please Moudy, can you explain why you didn't write that like the examples
that I provided there?
