[RFC PATCH v2] pinctrl: add helper to expose pinctrl state in debugfs
From: Drew Fustini
Date: Thu Dec 17 2020 - 23:59:49 EST
BeagleBoard.org [0] currently uses an out-of-tree driver called
bone-pinmux-helper [1] developed by Pantelis Antoniou [2] back in 2013.
The driver assists users of our BeagleBone and PocketBeagle boards in
rapid prototyping by allowing them to change at run-time between defined
set of pinctrl states [3] for each pin on the expansion connectors [4].
This is achieved by exposing a 'state' file in sysfs for each pin which
is used by our 'config-pin' utility [5].
Our goal is to eliminate all out-of-tree drivers for BeagleBoard.org
boards and thus I have been working to replace bone-pinmux-helper with a
new driver that could be acceptable upstream. My understanding is that
debugfs, unlike sysfs, could be the appropriate mechanism to expose such
functionality.
Here is an example of how pin P9.14 on the BeagleBone Black expansion
connector [6] would be represented in device tree:
&am33xx_pinmux {
/* P9_14 (ZCZ ball U14) gpio1_18 */
P9_14_default_pin: pinmux_P9_14_default_pin { pinctrl-single,pins = <
AM33XX_IOPAD(0x0848, PIN_OUTPUT_PULLDOWN | INPUT_EN | MUX_MODE7) >; };
P9_14_gpio_pin: pinmux_P9_14_gpio_pin { pinctrl-single,pins = <
AM33XX_IOPAD(0x0848, PIN_OUTPUT | INPUT_EN | MUX_MODE7) >; };
P9_14_gpio_pu_pin: pinmux_P9_14_gpio_pu_pin { pinctrl-single,pins = <
AM33XX_IOPAD(0x0848, PIN_OUTPUT_PULLUP | INPUT_EN | MUX_MODE7) >; };
P9_14_gpio_pd_pin: pinmux_P9_14_gpio_pd_pin { pinctrl-single,pins = <
AM33XX_IOPAD(0x0848, PIN_OUTPUT_PULLDOWN | INPUT_EN | MUX_MODE7) >; };
P9_14_gpio_input_pin: pinmux_P9_14_gpio_input_pin { pinctrl-single,pins = <
AM33XX_IOPAD(0x0848, PIN_INPUT | MUX_MODE7) >; };
P9_14_pwm_pin: pinmux_P9_14_pwm_pin { pinctrl-single,pins = <
AM33XX_IOPAD(0x0848, PIN_OUTPUT_PULLDOWN | INPUT_EN | MUX_MODE6) >; };
};
&ocp {
/* P9_14 (ZCZ ball U14) */
P9_14_pinmux {
compatible = "pinctrl,state-helper";
status = "okay";
pinctrl-names = "default", "gpio", "gpio_pu", "gpio_pd", "gpio_input", "pwm";
pinctrl-0 = <&P9_14_default_pin>;
pinctrl-1 = <&P9_14_gpio_pin>;
pinctrl-2 = <&P9_14_gpio_pu_pin>;
pinctrl-3 = <&P9_14_gpio_pd_pin>;
pinctrl-4 = <&P9_14_gpio_input_pin>;
pinctrl-5 = <&P9_14_pwm_pin>;
};
};
I used the compatible string "pinctrl,state-helper" but would appreciate
advice on how to best name this. Should I create a new vendor prefix?
The P9_14_pinmux entry would cause pinctrl-state-helper to be probed.
The driver would create the corresponding pinctrl state file in debugfs
for the pin. Here is an example of how the state can be read and
written from userspace:
root@beaglebone:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/pinctrl_state/ocp:P9_14_pinmux/state
default
root@beaglebone:~# echo pwm > /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/pinctrl_state/ocp:P9_14_pinmux/state
root@beaglebone:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/pinctrl_state/ocp:P9_14_pinmux/state
pwm
I would very much appreciate feedback on both this general concept, and
also specific areas in which the code should be changed to be acceptable
upstream.
Thank you!
Drew

v2 changes:
- add RFC: comments in places where I would appreciate feedback
- remove panto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as it is bouncing
- add alternative email addresses for Pantelis
- update pinctrl_state_read() to use kasprintf() based on Andy's advice
- update pinctrl_state_write() to use memdup_user_nul()
- call debugfs_lookup() to use existing "pinctrl" dir as parent
- create subdir "pinctrl_state" to be parent of per-pin directories
- add pinctrl_state_helper_init() and pinctrl_state_helper_exit() to
handle creating and cleaning up debugfs_root ("pinctrl_state")
