An ATR is a device that looks similar to an i2c-mux: it has an I2C
slave "upstream" port and N master "downstream" ports, and forwards
transactions from upstream to the appropriate downstream port. But is
is different in that the forwarded transaction has a different slave
address. The address used on the upstream bus is called the "alias"
and is (potentially) different from the physical slave address of the
downstream chip.

Add a helper file (just like i2c-mux.c for a mux or switch) to allow
implementing ATR features in a device driver. The helper takes care or
adapter creation/destruction and translates addresses at each transaction.

I'm not sure I got the real / virtual status of the adapters. Are the B and C
virtual ones, while A is the real?

Hmm... It's not clear why this is not 100, for example, and how 99 below is
related to that, assuming channel numbering is started from 0.

I remember that I asked why we don't use krealloc_array() here... Perhaps
that we don't need to copy the old mapping table? Can we put a short comment
to clarify this in the code?

How do you know (or why do we limit) that the scope of this function will be
only in ->probe()? Even though, I would replace devm_ by non-devm_ since there
is the tear-down function has to be called by the user anyway.

Just to be sure: Is it really _driver_ data and not _device instance_ data?

Let me reply, as I wrote these docs back at the times and thus I feel
guilty in case that's unclear. :)

I don't like the word "virtual" in this situation. A, B and C are all
physical busses, made of copper and run by electrons on PCBs. B and C
are the "remote" or "downstream" busses (w.r.t. the CPU), where the i2c
devices are and where transactions happen using the address that the
chip responds to. A is the "local" or "upstream" bus that is driven
directly by the CPU (*) and where address aliases are used. Using
aliases there is necessary because using address 0x10 would be
ambiguous as there are two 0x10 chips out there.

(*) There could be more layers of course, but still A is "closer to the
CPU than B and C", for the sake of completeness.

It is device instance data indeed. I don't remember why this got
changed, but in v3 it was i2c_atr_set_clientdata().

Can the diagram and/or text be updated to elaborate this?

It's me who was and is against calling it clientdata due to possible
confusion with i2c_set/get_clientdata() that is about *driver data*.
I missed that time the fact that this is about device instance data.
I dunno which name would be better in this case, i2c_atr_set/get_client_priv() ?

Let's see whether the text below is better. I haven't changed the
image, I don't think we can do much more in ASCII, but maybe we can
replace it with an SVG [0]?

[0]
https://github.com/lucaceresoli/docs/blob/master/video-serdes-linux/images/i2c-ti.svg

A typical example follows.

Topology::

                      Slave X @ 0x10
              .-----.   |
  .-----.     |     |---+---- B
  | CPU |--A--| ATR |
  `-----'     |     |---+---- C
              `-----'   |
                      Slave Y @ 0x10

Alias table:

A, B and C are three physical I2C busses, electrically independent from
each other. The ATR receives the transactions initiated on bus A and
propagates them on bus B or bus C or none depending on the device address
in the transaction and based on the alias table.

Alias table:

.. table::

   ===============   =====
   Client            Alias
   ===============   =====
   X (bus B, 0x10)   0x20
   Y (bus C, 0x10)   0x30
   ===============   =====

Transaction:

 - Slave X driver sends a transaction (on adapter B), slave address 0x10
 - ATR driver finds slave X is on bus B and has alias 0x20, rewrites
   messages with address 0x20, forwards to adapter A
 - Physical I2C transaction on bus A, slave address 0x20
 - ATR chip detects transaction on address 0x20, finds it in table,
   propagates transaction on bus B with address translated to 0x10,
   keeps clock streched on bus A waiting for reply
 - Slave X chip (on bus B) detects transaction at its own physical
   address 0x10 and replies normally
 - ATR chip stops clock stretching and forwards reply on bus A,
   with address translated back to 0x20
 - ATR driver receives the reply, rewrites messages with address 0x10
   as they were initially
 - Slave X driver gets back the msgs[], with reply and address 0x10

Let me know whether this sounds better. And perhaps Tomi can further
improve it.

Not sure I'm following you here. The i2c_atr_set_clientdata() name was
given for similarity with i2c_set_clientdata(). The latter wraps 
dev_set_drvdata(), which sets `struct device`->driver_data. There is
one driver_data per each `struct device` instance, not per each driver.
The same goes for i2c_atr_set_driver_data(): there is one priv pointer
per each `struct i2c_atr` instance.

Right, it should be 100.

I think I set the ATR_MAX_SYMLINK_LEN to 16 just for alignment, but that 
probably doesn't make sense and I should just set ATR_MAX_SYMLINK_LEN to 
11 (10 + zero byte).

Yes, we don't care about the old data, we just require the buffer to be 
large enough.

I'm not sure what kind of comment you want here. Isn't this a common 
idiom, where you have a buffer for temporary data, but you might need to 
resize at some point if you need a larger one?

That's a very good point. I don't know why devm_kzalloc is used here.

Indeed.

The doc for the function says "If no I2C bus has been added this 
function is a no-op", so we need the check, and I need to fix the 
assignments.

Although to be honest, I don't usually like this kind of "do nothing if 
given wrong parameters".

I'm a bit confused. What is "driver data" and what is "device instance 
data"?

This deals with the driver's private data, where the "driver" is the 
owner/creator of the i2c-atr. The i2c-atr itself doesn't have a device 
(it's kind of part of the owner's device), and there's no driver in 
i2c-atr.c

I don't like "client" here, as it reminds me of i2c_client (especially 
as we're in i2c context).

What about i2c_atr_set_user_data()? Or "owner_data"?

Ah, only now I got the point Andy made initially about "client" not
being an appropriate word.

In i2c we have:

  i2c_set_clientdata(struct i2c_client *client, void *data)
          ^^^^^^~~~~            ^^^^^^                ~~~~

so "client" clearly makes sense there, now here.

The same logic applied here would lead to:

  i2c_atr_set_atrdata(struct i2c_atr *atr, void *data)
              ^^^~~~~            ^^^             ~~~~

which makes sense but it is a ugly IMO.

So I think i2c_atr_get_driver_data() in this v7 makes sense, it's to
set the data that the ATR driver instance needs.

This is coherent with logic in spi/spi.h:

  spi_set_drvdata(struct spi_device *spi, void *data)

except for the abbreviation ("_drvdata" vs "_driver_data").

Andy, Tomi, would i2c_atr_set_drvdata() be OK for you, just like SPI
does?

Isn't that also used by the i2c_client? A driver which handles an i2c 
device is the "i2c client", in a sense?

Here, I think, there's a bit of a difference to the i2c_client case, as 
we have a separate component for the i2c-atr. Although I guess one can 
argue that the top level driver is the ATR driver, as it handles the HW, 
and i2c-atr.c is just a set of helpers, so... I don't know =).

Well, I'm good with the current i2c_atr_set_driver_data(). If all agrees 
that it's "driver data", I'd rather keep it like that. I find this 
"drvdata" style very odd. Why no underscore between drv and data? Why 
abbreviate drv, it doesn't really help anything here?

That said, I'm also fine with i2c_atr_set_drvdata if that's the popular 
opinion (between the three of us, so far ;).

Slightly beside the point of this discussion, but one thing (I think) I 
tried to highlight in some older cover letter was that we don't really 
have the above structure. We have something like this (a quick edit, sorry):

                             .------.  Slave X @ 0x10
                 .------.    | FPDS |   |
     .-----.     | FPDD |-F1-`------'---+---- B
     | CPU |--A--| ATR  |
     `-----'     |      |-F2-.------.---+---- C
                 `------'    | FPDS |   |
                             `------'  Slave Y @ 0x10

Where FPDD = Deserializer, FPDS = Serializer, F1/F2 = FPD-Link bus 1/2.

So the ATR functionality is in the deserializer, but the actual remote 
i2c bus is on the serializer.

The current code manages this so that the deserializer driver owns the 
ATR and programs the HW (as the ATR is part of the deserializer), but 
it's the serializer driver that adds the remote adapter to the ATR 
(using i2c_atr pointer given by the deserializer driver).

Agreed, I'm OK with either form of "driver data".

I'd rather say that the ATF functionality is in the sum of ser+des as
they really cooperate. But this is kind of philosophical. :) What
matters is that it's worth mentioning that the "ATR" box is actually an
abstract visualization of a feature that is provided by two or more
chips (in the known universe, at least).

Have you considered allowing drivers to embed i2c_atr in a larger
structure, instead of forcing allocation through i2c_atr_new() ? Drivers
could then use container_of() instead of the get/set driver/device data
accessors.

Off the top of my head I don't see a good reason to not do it, and it
would be nice to have indeed.

For the sake of historical discussion, I guess I didn't do initially
just because my starting point was i2c-mux where allocation is dynamic.
But i2c_mux_alloc() also takes a 'int sizeof_priv' parameter to
allocate some extra space for private driver data. I don't love that
approach but it probably makes sense for mux devices which tend to be
very simple, not for the ATR where chips are definitely complex. Indeed
embedded i2c_atr in the larger driver-specific struct seems the best
option.

Then why not krealloc_array()? That's the question I want to see the answer for
in the comments:

	/* We don't care about old data, hence no realloc() */

Ok, I'll add that.

+Kernel driver i2c-atr
+=====================
+
+Author: Luca Ceresoli <luca@lucaceresoli.net>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+An I2C Address Translator (ATR) is a device with an I2C slave parent
+("upstream") port and N I2C master child ("downstream") ports, and
+forwards transactions from upstream to the appropriate downstream port
+with a modified slave address. The address used on the parent bus is
+called the "alias" and is (potentially) different from the physical
+slave address of the child bus. Address translation is done by the
+hardware.
+
+An ATR looks similar to an i2c-mux except:
+ - the address on the parent and child busses can be different
+ - there is normally no need to select the child port; the alias used on the
+   parent bus implies it
+
+The ATR functionality can be provided by a chip with many other
+features. This file provides a helper to implement an ATR within your
+driver.
+
+The ATR creates a new I2C "child" adapter on each child bus. Adding
+devices on the child bus ends up in invoking the driver code to select
+an available alias. Maintaining an appropriate pool of available aliases
+and picking one for each new device is up to the driver implementer. The
+ATR maintains an table of currently assigned alias and uses it to modify
+all I2C transactions directed to devices on the child buses.
+
+A typical example follows.

+   Client   Alias

+   Y        0x30
+   ======   =====
+
+Transaction:
+
+ - Slave X driver sends a transaction (on adapter B), slave address 0x10
+ - ATR driver rewrites messages with address 0x20, forwards to adapter A
+ - Physical I2C transaction on bus A, slave address 0x20
+ - ATR chip propagates transaction on bus B with address translated to 0x10
+ - Slave X chip replies on bus B
+ - ATR chip forwards reply on bus A
+ - ATR driver rewrites messages with address 0x10
+ - Slave X driver gets back the msgs[], with reply and address 0x10
+
+Usage:
+
+ 1. In your driver (typically in the probe function) add an ATR by
+    calling i2c_atr_new() passing your attach/detach callbacks
+ 2. When the attach callback is called pick an appropriate alias,
+    configure it in your chip and return the chosen alias in the
+    alias_id parameter
+ 3. When the detach callback is called, deconfigure the alias from
+    your chip and put it back in the pool for later usage
