[PATCH v7 0/3] Add Qualcomm i3c controller driver support
From: Mukesh Kumar Savaliya
Date: Wed Nov 04 2026 - 07:24:15 EST
This patchset adds i3c controller support for the qualcomm's QUPV3 based
Serial engine (SE) hardware controller.
The I3C SE(Serial Engine) controller implements I3C master functionality
as defined in the MIPI Specifications for I3C, Version 1.0.
This patchset was tested on kaanapali MTP device and data transfer has been
tested in I3C SDR mode.
Features tested and supported :
Standard CCC commands.
I3C SDR mode private transfers in PIO mode.
I2C transfers in PIO mode.

v6->v7 :
- Removed inline functions from i3c-qcom-geni.c where unnecessary and changed relevant
helpers to return error values instead of void so failures can be propagated to callers.
- Changed priv_xfers() to i3c_xfers() as part of i3c_master_controller_ops latest update.
- Replaced set_new_addr_slot() and clear_new_addr_slot() with direct set_bit()/clear_bit().
- Removed unused io.h, of.h, and of_platform.h header files as suggested by Krzysztof.
- Moved invalid address validation to the caller and made invalid addresses a hard error.
- Used the tx_depth structure member instead of hard-coding half the FIFO size as 32 bytes.
- Removed explicit 0 and 1 assignments from enum i3c_bus_phase since they are the default
enum values.
- geni_i3c_irq(): Replaced manual FIFO accesses with i3c_readl_fifo() and i3c_writel_fifo().
- geni_i3c_irq(): Replaced spin_lock() with scoped_guard() and removed the runtime-PM
mutex lock/unlock helpers in favor of scoped_guard(mutex) at callers.
- geni_i3c_irq(): Removed goto usage so register clearing and completion handling remain
outside the scoped lock.
- geni_i3c_irq(): Kept IRQ clearance after the required interrupt handling instead of
moving it immediately after reading IRQ status.
- geni_i3c_perform_daa(): Changed USE_7E handling so it is sent only for the first device.
- Replaced pm_runtime_enable() with devm_pm_runtime_enable() for device-managed runtime PM.
- geni_i3c_master_i2c_xfers(): Corrected I2C transfers to use OPEN_DRAIN_MODE instead of
PUSH_PULL_MODE.
- Removed attach()/detach() framework callbacks and the unused geni_i3c_i2c_dev_data structure.
- Kept I3C_ADDR_MASK within the I3C address range instead of the I2C address range definitions.
- Declared loop variables directly in the for statements.
- Combined separate bit test and clear operations using __test_and_clear_bit().
- Removed explicit pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() calls before pm_runtime_put_autosuspend().
- Removed unnecessary fallthrough statements from the CCC switch in senc_ccc_cmd().
- Removed explicit NULL initializers and retained only implemented callbacks.
- Replaced mutex_init() with devm_mutex_init() and propagated its return value.
- Simplified the probe resource-on/resource-off flow around geni_i3c_hw_init().
- Used devm_add_action_or_reset() with a helper to unregister the I3C master during probe
cleanup, allowing geni_i3c_remove() to be removed.
- Replaced SET_RUNTIME_PM_OPS() with the newer DEFINE_RUNTIME_DEV_PM_OPS() runtime-PM macro.
- Updated [PATCH v6 2/3] commit log to clarify that the driver does not currently support IBI.
- dt-bindings: Fixed the unevaluated-properties validation error caused by the unexpected
clock-names property.
- dt-bindings: Simplified the commit message and clarified the Qualcomm I3C controller
description.
- dt-bindings: Updated qcom,geni-se.yaml to document the Qualcomm I3C controller as a
valid GENI SE child node.
- dt-bindings: Added IBI controller/hardware details to complete the hardware description.
- dt-bindings: Removed Rob's Reviewed-by tag due to above binding changes.
