[PATCH v9 2/2] input: joystick: driver for Adafruit Seesaw Gamepad

From: Anshul Dalal
Date: Tue Nov 21 2023 - 05:23:10 EST


Adds a driver for a mini gamepad that communicates over i2c, the gamepad
has bidirectional thumb stick input and six buttons.

The gamepad chip utilizes the open framework from Adafruit called 'Seesaw'
to transmit the ADC data for the joystick and digital pin state for the
buttons. I have only implemented the functionality required to receive the
thumb stick and button state.

Steps in reading the gamepad state over i2c:
1. Reset the registers
2. Set the pin mode of the pins specified by the `BUTTON_MASK` to input
`BUTTON_MASK`: A bit-map for the six digital pins internally
connected to the joystick buttons.
3. Enable internal pullup resistors for the `BUTTON_MASK`
4. Bulk set the pin state HIGH for `BUTTON_MASK`
5. Poll the device for button and joystick state done by:
`seesaw_read_data(struct i2c_client *client, struct seesaw_data *data)`

Changes for v9:
- Added of_device_id

v8: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231108005337.45069-1-anshulusr@xxxxxxxxx/

Changes for v8:
- Updated invalid references to `adafruit_seesaw` to `adafruit-seesaw`

v7: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231106164134.114668-1-anshulusr@xxxxxxxxx/

Changes for v7:
adafruit-seesaw.c
- Fixed formatting for macro definitions
- Made SEESAW_BUTTON_MASK static const
- Removed __be16 type for x and y fields of seesaw_data
- Used sparse_keymap implementation instead of custom keymap
- Used i2c_msg instead of i2c_master_send and recv in
seesaw_register_read
- Use temporary variable `adc_data` to store data received from ADC
- Changed read_buf from u8[4] to __be32
- Use usleep_range instead of msleep
- Removed 'Reviewed-by: Thomas Weißschuh' due to large number of changes
since last review
Kconfig:
- Added `select INPUT_SPARSEKMAP`

v6: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231027051819.81333-1-anshulusr@xxxxxxxxx/

Changes for v6:
- Added TODO
- Removed `clang-format` directives
- Namespaced device buttons
- Removed `char physical_path[32]` field from `struct seesaw_gamepad`
- Added `packed` attribute to `struct seesaw_data`
- Moved from having booleans per button to single `u32 button_state`
- Added `seesaw_button_description` array to directly associate device
buttons with respective keycodes
- Added wrapper functions `seesaw_register_` around `i2c_master_` API
- Ratelimited input error reporting with `dev_err_ratelimited`
- Removed `of_device_id`

v5: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231017034356.1436677-1-anshulusr@xxxxxxxxx/

Changes for v5:
- Added link to the datasheet
- Added debug log message when `seesaw_read_data` fails

v4: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231010184827.1213507-1-anshulusr@xxxxxxxxx/

Changes for v4:
- Changed `1UL << BUTTON_` to BIT(BUTTON_)
- Removed `hardware_id` field from `struct seesaw_gamepad`
- Removed redundant checks for the number of bytes written and received by
`i2c_master_send` and `i2c_master_recv`
- Used `get_unaligned_be32` to instantiate `u32 result` from `read_buf`
- Changed `result & (1UL << BUTTON_)` to
`test_bit(BUTTON_, (long *)&result)`
- Changed `KBUILD_MODNAME` in id-tables to `SEESAW_DEVICE_NAME`
- Fixed formatting issues
- Changed button reporting:
Since the gamepad had the action buttons in a non-standard layout:
(X)
(Y) (A)
(B)
Therefore moved to using generic directional action button event codes
instead of BTN_[ABXY].
