SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +====================================== +_DSD Device Properties Related to GPIO +====================================== + +With the release of ACPI 5.1, the _DSD configuration object finally +allows names to be given to GPIOs (and other things as well) returned +by _CRS. 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, IoRestrictionOutputOnly, + "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 15 } + GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly, + "\\_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. + +Note, active_low in _DSD does not make sense for GpioInt() resource and +must be 0. GpioInt() resource has its own means of defining it. + +In our Bluetooth example the "reset-gpios" refers to the second GpioIo() +resource, second pin in that resource with the GPIO number of 31. + +The GpioIo() resource unfortunately doesn't explicitly provide an initial +state of the output pin which driver should use during its initialization. + +Linux tries to use common sense here and derives the state from the bias +and polarity settings. The table below shows the expectations: + +========= ============= ============== +Pull Bias Polarity Requested... +========= ============= ============== +Implicit x AS IS (assumed firmware configured for us) +Explicit x (no _DSD) as Pull Bias (Up == High, Down == Low), + assuming non-active (Polarity = !Pull Bias) +Down Low as low, assuming active +Down High as low, assuming non-active +Up Low as high, assuming non-active +Up High as high, assuming active +========= ============= ============== + +That said, for our above example the both GPIOs, since the bias setting +is explicit and _DSD is present, will be treated as active with a high +polarity and Linux will configure the pins in this state until a driver +reprograms them differently. + +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 + } + } + +Note, that historically ACPI has no means of the GPIO polarity and thus +the SPISerialBus() resource defines it on the per-chip basis. In order +to avoid a chain of negations, the GPIO polarity is considered being +Active High. Even for the cases when _DSD() is involved (see the example +above) the GPIO CS polarity must be defined Active High to avoid ambiguity. + +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 + +The ``gpio-line-names`` declaration is a list of strings ("names"), which +describes each line/pin of a GPIO controller/expander. This list, contained in +a package, must be inserted inside the GPIO controller declaration of an ACPI +table (typically inside the DSDT). The ``gpio-line-names`` list must respect the +following rules (see also the examples): + + - the first name in the list corresponds with the first line/pin of the GPIO + controller/expander + - the names inside the list must be consecutive (no "holes" are permitted) + - the list can be incomplete and can end before the last GPIO line: in + other words, it is not mandatory to fill all the GPIO lines + - empty names are allowed (two quotation marks ``""`` correspond to an empty + name) + - names inside one GPIO controller/expander must be unique + +Example of a GPIO controller of 16 lines, with an incomplete list with two +empty names:: + + Package () { + "gpio-line-names", + Package () { + "pin_0", + "pin_1", + "", + "", + "pin_3", + "pin_4_push_button", + } + } + +At runtime, the above declaration produces the following result (using the +"libgpiod" tools):: + + root@debian:~# gpioinfo gpiochip4 + gpiochip4 - 16 lines: + line 0: "pin_0" unused input active-high + line 1: "pin_1" unused input active-high + line 2: unnamed unused input active-high + line 3: unnamed unused input active-high + line 4: "pin_3" unused input active-high + line 5: "pin_4_push_button" unused input active-high + line 6: unnamed unused input active-high + line 7 unnamed unused input active-high + line 8: unnamed unused input active-high + line 9: unnamed unused input active-high + line 10: unnamed unused input active-high + line 11: unnamed unused input active-high + line 12: unnamed unused input active-high + line 13: unnamed unused input active-high + line 14: unnamed unused input active-high + line 15: unnamed unused input active-high + root@debian:~# gpiofind pin_4_push_button + gpiochip4 5 + root@debian:~# + +Another 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 contains 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() or its managed analogue 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); + if (IS_ERR(desc)) + ...error handling... + +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 explicitly +(this is the recommended way and it's 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 an 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 the previous +chapter. |
