Previously, we were only able to use an integer index to find +the corresponding GPIO, which is pretty error prone (it depends on +the _CRS output ordering, for example). + +With _DSD we can now query GPIOs using a name instead of an integer +index, like the ASL example below shows: + + // Bluetooth device with reset and shutdown GPIOs + Device (BTH) + { + Name (_HID, ...) + + Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () + { + GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionInputOnly, + "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) {15} + GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionInputOnly, + "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) {27, 31} + }) + + Name (_DSD, Package () + { + ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), + Package () + { + Package () {"reset-gpios", Package() {^BTH, 1, 1, 0 }}, + Package () {"shutdown-gpios", Package() {^BTH, 0, 0, 0 }}, + } + }) + } + +The format of the supported GPIO property is: + + Package () { "name", Package () { ref, index, pin, active_low }} + + ref - The device that has _CRS containing GpioIo()/GpioInt() resources, + typically this is the device itself (BTH in our case). + index - Index of the GpioIo()/GpioInt() resource in _CRS starting from zero. + pin - Pin in the GpioIo()/GpioInt() resource. Typically this is zero. + active_low - If 1 the GPIO is marked as active_low. + +Since ACPI GpioIo() resource does not have a field saying whether it is +active low or high, the "active_low" argument can be used here. Setting +it to 1 marks the GPIO as active low. + +In our Bluetooth example the "reset-gpios" refers to the second GpioIo() +resource, second pin in that resource with the GPIO number of 31. + +It is possible to leave holes in the array of GPIOs. This is useful in +cases like with SPI host controllers where some chip selects may be +implemented as GPIOs and some as native signals. For example a SPI host +controller can have chip selects 0 and 2 implemented as GPIOs and 1 as +native: + + Package () { + "cs-gpios", + Package () { + ^GPIO, 19, 0, 0, // chip select 0: GPIO + 0, // chip select 1: native signal + ^GPIO, 20, 0, 0, // chip select 2: GPIO + } + } + +Other supported properties +-------------------------- + +Following Device Tree compatible device properties are also supported by +_DSD device properties for GPIO controllers: + +- gpio-hog +- output-high +- output-low +- input +- line-name + +Example: + + Name (_DSD, Package () { + // _DSD Hierarchical Properties Extension UUID + ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"), + Package () { + Package () {"hog-gpio8", "G8PU"} + } + }) + + Name (G8PU, Package () { + ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), + Package () { + Package () {"gpio-hog", 1}, + Package () {"gpios", Package () {8, 0}}, + Package () {"output-high", 1}, + Package () {"line-name", "gpio8-pullup"}, + } + }) + +- gpio-line-names + +Example: + + Package () { + "gpio-line-names", + Package () { + "SPI0_CS_N", "EXP2_INT", "MUX6_IO", "UART0_RXD", "MUX7_IO", + "LVL_C_A1", "MUX0_IO", "SPI1_MISO" + } + } + +See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/gpio.txt for more information +about these properties. + +ACPI GPIO Mappings Provided by Drivers +-------------------------------------- + +There are systems in which the ACPI tables do not contain _DSD but provide _CRS +with GpioIo()/GpioInt() resources and device drivers still need to work with +them. + +In those cases ACPI device identification objects, _HID, _CID, _CLS, _SUB, _HRV, +available to the driver can be used to identify the device and that is supposed +to be sufficient to determine the meaning and purpose of all of the GPIO lines +listed by the GpioIo()/GpioInt() resources returned by _CRS. In other words, +the driver is supposed to know what to use the GpioIo()/GpioInt() resources for +once it has identified the device. Having done that, it can simply assign names +to the GPIO lines it is going to use and provide the GPIO subsystem with a +mapping between those names and the ACPI GPIO resources corresponding to them. + +To do that, the driver needs to define a mapping table as a NULL-terminated +array of struct acpi_gpio_mapping objects that each contain a name, a pointer +to an array of line data (struct acpi_gpio_params) objects and the size of that +array. Each struct acpi_gpio_params object consists of three fields, +crs_entry_index, line_index, active_low, representing the index of the target +GpioIo()/GpioInt() resource in _CRS starting from zero, the index of the target +line in that resource starting from zero, and the active-low flag for that line, +respectively, in analogy with the _DSD GPIO property format specified above. + +For the example Bluetooth device discussed previously the data structures in +question would look like this: + +static const struct acpi_gpio_params reset_gpio = { 1, 1, false }; +static const struct acpi_gpio_params shutdown_gpio = { 0, 0, false }; + +static const struct acpi_gpio_mapping bluetooth_acpi_gpios[] = { + { "reset-gpios", &reset_gpio, 1 }, + { "shutdown-gpios", &shutdown_gpio, 1 }, + { }, +}; + +Next, the mapping table needs to be passed as the second argument to +acpi_dev_add_driver_gpios() that will register it with the ACPI device object +pointed to by its first argument. That should be done in the driver's .probe() +routine. On removal, the driver should unregister its GPIO mapping table by +calling acpi_dev_remove_driver_gpios() on the ACPI device object where that +table was previously registered. + +Using the _CRS fallback +----------------------- + +If a device does not have _DSD or the driver does not create ACPI GPIO +mapping, the Linux GPIO framework refuses to return any GPIOs. This is +because the driver does not know what it actually gets. For example if we +have a device like below: + + Device (BTH) + { + Name (_HID, ...) + + Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () { + GpioIo (Exclusive, PullNone, 0, 0, IoRestrictionNone, + "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) {15} + GpioIo (Exclusive, PullNone, 0, 0, IoRestrictionNone, + "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) {27} + }) + } + +The driver might expect to get the right GPIO when it does: + + desc = gpiod_get(dev, "reset", GPIOD_OUT_LOW); + +but since there is no way to know the mapping between "reset" and +the GpioIo() in _CRS desc will hold ERR_PTR(-ENOENT). + +The driver author can solve this by passing the mapping explictly +(the recommended way and documented in the above chapter). + +The ACPI GPIO mapping tables should not contaminate drivers that are not +knowing about which exact device they are servicing on. It implies that +the ACPI GPIO mapping tables are hardly linked to ACPI ID and certain +objects, as listed in the above chapter, of the device in question. + +Getting GPIO descriptor +----------------------- + +There are two main approaches to get GPIO resource from ACPI: + desc = gpiod_get(dev, connection_id, flags); + desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, connection_id, index, flags); + +We may consider two different cases here, i.e. when connection ID is +provided and otherwise. + +Case 1: + desc = gpiod_get(dev, "non-null-connection-id", flags); + desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, "non-null-connection-id", index, flags); + +Case 2: + desc = gpiod_get(dev, NULL, flags); + desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, NULL, index, flags); + +Case 1 assumes that corresponding ACPI device description must have +defined device properties and will prevent to getting any GPIO resources +otherwise. + +Case 2 explicitly tells GPIO core to look for resources in _CRS. + +Be aware that gpiod_get_index() in cases 1 and 2, assuming that there +are two versions of ACPI device description provided and no mapping is +present in the driver, will return different resources. That's why a +certain driver has to handle them carefully as explained in previous +chapter. |
