From: Tze Yee Ng <tze.yee.ng@xxxxxxxxxx>
This series adds hardware monitor support for Altera SoC FPGA devices.
Temperature and voltage sensors are accessed through the Stratix 10
service layer and Secure Device Manager (SDM).
Patch 1 adds async HWMON SMC support to stratix10-svc and registers the
socfpga-hwmon platform device.
Patch 2 adds the socfpga-hwmon driver, documentation, Kconfig, and
MAINTAINERS entry.
Changes in v7:
- In Patch 2, address maintainer and Sashiko review feedback on
socfpga-hwmon:
- Break out of the async poll loop on hard errors and return the real
poll status instead of rewriting it to -ETIMEDOUT
- Drop redundant async poll alert/debug messages (SVC already logs)
- Replace msleep(1) with usleep_range() for short retries
- On sync-mode timeout, wait for the outstanding SVC callback before
calling stratix10_svc_done() so a leftover svc_fifo request cannot
desynchronize later sensor reads; still report -ETIMEDOUT
- No functional changes in Patch 1
Changes in v6:
- Rebase on torvalds/master (given “Linux 7.2-rc4”)
- No functional changes in Patch 1 and Patch 2
Changes in v5:
- Rebase on dinguyen/socfpga_svc_fixes_for_v7.2
- Address Sashiko review feedback on socfpga-hwmon (Patch 2):
- Poll async responses until HWMON_TIMEOUT instead of a fixed
3-iteration retry loop (~3 ms), fixing premature timeouts on
silicon
- Add MODULE_ALIAS("platform:socfpga-hwmon")
- No functional changes in Patch 1
Changes in v4:
- Address maintainer and review feedback on socfpga-hwmon (Patch 2):
- Register devm_add_action_or_reset() before
devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info() to fix devres teardown order
- Remove unreferenced completion and pre-poll
wait_for_completion_io_timeout() from async reads; poll directly
with a retry loop after async_send()
- No functional changes in Patch 1
Changes in v3:
- Address review feedback on socfpga-hwmon (Patch 2):
- Fix 16-bit Q8.8 temperature sign extension
- Drop unused async callback; pass NULL to stratix10_svc_async_send()
- Document and retain pre-poll wait (RSU pattern; firmware needs time
before async_poll())
- Align async poll retry behaviour with RSU
- Use uninterruptible wait_for_completion_timeout() for sync reads
- Handle -EINVAL and -EOPNOTSUPP when falling back to sync mode
- Defer SVC channel cleanup via devm_add_action_or_reset()
- No functional changes in Patch 1
Changes in v2:
- Drop altr,stratix10-hwmon DT binding and intel,stratix10-svc hwmon
child property
- Drop Stratix 10 SoCDK DTS hwmon node
- Register socfpga-hwmon from stratix10-svc (RSU-style)
- Replace DT channel parsing with hardcoded Stratix 10 and Agilex tables
- Rename driver/module to socfpga-hwmon
(CONFIG_SENSORS_ALTERA_SOCFPGA_HWMON)
- Add Agilex channel support
- Fix SDM value conversion (Q8.8 degrees Celsius and Q16 volts to hwmon
millidegrees/millivolts)
- Improve sync-mode error handling via last_err
