Description +-------------- + +The architecture of the USB 2.0 PHY module in Samsung SoCs is similar +among many SoCs. In spite of the similarities it proved difficult to +create a one driver that would fit all these PHY controllers. Often +the differences were minor and were found in particular bits of the +registers of the PHY. In some rare cases the order of register writes or +the PHY powering up process had to be altered. This adaptation layer is +a compromise between having separate drivers and having a single driver +with added support for many special cases. + +2. Files description +-------------------- + +- phy-samsung-usb2.c + This is the main file of the adaptation layer. This file contains + the probe function and provides two callbacks to the Generic PHY + Framework. This two callbacks are used to power on and power off the + phy. They carry out the common work that has to be done on all version + of the PHY module. Depending on which SoC was chosen they execute SoC + specific callbacks. The specific SoC version is selected by choosing + the appropriate compatible string. In addition, this file contains + struct of_device_id definitions for particular SoCs. + +- phy-samsung-usb2.h + This is the include file. It declares the structures used by this + driver. In addition it should contain extern declarations for + structures that describe particular SoCs. + +3. Supporting SoCs +------------------ + +To support a new SoC a new file should be added to the drivers/phy +directory. Each SoC's configuration is stored in an instance of the +struct samsung_usb2_phy_config:: + + struct samsung_usb2_phy_config { + const struct samsung_usb2_common_phy *phys; + int (*rate_to_clk)(unsigned long, u32 *); + unsigned int num_phys; + bool has_mode_switch; + }; + +The num_phys is the number of phys handled by the driver. `*phys` is an +array that contains the configuration for each phy. The has_mode_switch +property is a boolean flag that determines whether the SoC has USB host +and device on a single pair of pins. If so, a special register has to +be modified to change the internal routing of these pins between a USB +device or host module. + +For example the configuration for Exynos 4210 is following:: + + const struct samsung_usb2_phy_config exynos4210_usb2_phy_config = { + .has_mode_switch = 0, + .num_phys = EXYNOS4210_NUM_PHYS, + .phys = exynos4210_phys, + .rate_to_clk = exynos4210_rate_to_clk, + } + +- `int (*rate_to_clk)(unsigned long, u32 *)` + + The rate_to_clk callback is to convert the rate of the clock + used as the reference clock for the PHY module to the value + that should be written in the hardware register. + +The exynos4210_phys configuration array is as follows:: + + static const struct samsung_usb2_common_phy exynos4210_phys[] = { + { + .label = "device", + .id = EXYNOS4210_DEVICE, + .power_on = exynos4210_power_on, + .power_off = exynos4210_power_off, + }, + { + .label = "host", + .id = EXYNOS4210_HOST, + .power_on = exynos4210_power_on, + .power_off = exynos4210_power_off, + }, + { + .label = "hsic0", + .id = EXYNOS4210_HSIC0, + .power_on = exynos4210_power_on, + .power_off = exynos4210_power_off, + }, + { + .label = "hsic1", + .id = EXYNOS4210_HSIC1, + .power_on = exynos4210_power_on, + .power_off = exynos4210_power_off, + }, + {}, + }; + +- `int (*power_on)(struct samsung_usb2_phy_instance *);` + `int (*power_off)(struct samsung_usb2_phy_instance *);` + + These two callbacks are used to power on and power off the phy + by modifying appropriate registers. + +Final change to the driver is adding appropriate compatible value to the +phy-samsung-usb2.c file. In case of Exynos 4210 the following lines were +added to the struct of_device_id samsung_usb2_phy_of_match[] array:: + + #ifdef CONFIG_PHY_EXYNOS4210_USB2 + { + .compatible = "samsung,exynos4210-usb2-phy", + .data = &exynos4210_usb2_phy_config, + }, + #endif + +To add further flexibility to the driver the Kconfig file enables to +include support for selected SoCs in the compiled driver. The Kconfig +entry for Exynos 4210 is following:: + + config PHY_EXYNOS4210_USB2 + bool "Support for Exynos 4210" + depends on PHY_SAMSUNG_USB2 + depends on CPU_EXYNOS4210 + help + Enable USB PHY support for Exynos 4210. This option requires that + Samsung USB 2.0 PHY driver is enabled and means that support for this + particular SoC is compiled in the driver. In case of Exynos 4210 four + phys are available - device, host, HSCI0 and HSCI1. + +The newly created file that supports the new SoC has to be also added to the +Makefile. In case of Exynos 4210 the added line is following:: + + obj-$(CONFIG_PHY_EXYNOS4210_USB2) += phy-exynos4210-usb2.o + +After completing these steps the support for the new SoC should be ready. |
