In some cases the delay could be prevented. e.g. when going from one
disabled state to another. If you don't want to complicate the driver
here, maybe point it out in a comment at least?
It's not well defined if pwm_apply should only return when the new
setting is actually active. (e.g. mxs doesn't wait)
So I wonder: Are there any hardware restrictions between setting the
SYNC_UPD flag and modifying the registers for duty and period? (I assume
writing a new duty and period might then result in a glitch if the
period just ends between the two writes.) Can you check if the hardware
waits on such a completion, e.g. by reading that register?

You're doing a copy of pwm->state just to use one of the members to pass
it to mchp_core_pwm_enable.

I think using unsigned long for clk_rate would be beneficial. The
comparison against NSEC_PER_SEC might get cheaper (depending on how
clever the compiler is), and calling mchp_core_pwm_calc_period
should get cheaper, too. (At least on 32 bit archs.)

Don't you need to pass the previously configured period here?

Maybe this is my naivity talking, but I'd rather wait. Is there not the
chance that we re-enter pwm_apply() before the update has actually gone
through?
IIRC, but I'll have to confirm it, when the "shadow registers" are
enabled reads show the values that the hardware is using rather than the
values that are queued in the shadow registers. I'd rather avoid that
sort of mess and always sleep.
Now that I think of it, the reason I moved to unconditionally sleeping
was that if I turned on the PWM debugging it'd get tripped up. When it
tried to read the state, it got the old one rather than what'd just been
written.
Pasting my comment from above:
> > + /*

By "bus" in this statement, I meant on the AXI/AHB etc bus that the IP
core is connected to the CPUs on rather than the output. Perhaps my
wording of the comment could be improved and replace the word "bus" with
some wording containing "CPU" instead. "The updated values will not
appear to the CPU until" maybe.
I can also add some words relating to unconditionally sleeping w.r.t to
disabled states.

Not entirely sure by what you mean: "waits on such a completion".
The hardware updates the registers at the first end-of-period after
SYNC_UPD is set. Don't write the bit, nothing happens. From the docs:

The second statement is at best vague (if the this bit in "when this
bit" refers to the bit in SHADOW_REG_EN) or contradictory at worse.
I suspect it's the former meaning, as shadow registers are a per-channel
thing. I suppose I have to go get some docs changed, **sigh**. It
doesn't make all that much sense to me, SHADOW_REG_EN is a RTL parameter
not a register that can be accessed from the AXI interface.
Anyways, back to the topic at hand.. if you were to do the following
(in really pseudocode form..):
write(SYNC_UPD)
write(period)
<end-of-period>
write(duty)
Then the duty cycle would not get updated, ever. At least, per doc
comment #1 & my "experimental" data. The RTL is rather dumb, since
AFAICT, this is meant to be cheap to implement in FPGA fabric.
Hence the default core configuration option is no shadow registers
& just immediately updates the output, waveform glitches be damned.
Hopefully that all helps?

Fallout from refactoring I assume. I'll drop it.

Yeah, should be current_state. Thanks.

My idea was to do something like that:
int mchp_core_pwm_apply(....)
{
if (mchp_core_pwm->sync_update_mask & (1 << pwm->hwpwm)) {
/*
* We're still waiting for an update, don't
* interfer until it's completed.
*/
while (readl_relaxed(mchp_core_pwm->base + MCHPCOREPWM_SYNC_UPD)) {
cpu_relax();
if (waited_unreasonably_long())
return -ETIMEOUT;
}
}
update_period_and_duty(...);
return 0;
}
This way you don't have to wait at all if the calls to pwm_apply() are
infrequent. Of course this only works this way, if you can determine if
there is a pending update.
From a simplicity POV always waiting is fine. But if you consider
periods of say 5s, letting a call to pwm_apply() do a sleep between 5
and 10 seconds at the end is quite long and blocks the caller
considerably.

I'd write: Reading the registers yields the currently implemented
settings, the new ones are only readable once the current period ended.

I wanted to say that it's okish to return from .apply() without the
sleep and so return to the caller before the requested setting appears
on the output. At least your driver wouldn't be the first to do it that
way.

I already understood it that way. I hope I was able to clarify my
thoughts above.

Ah I think I get what you mean now about waiting for completion &
reading the bit. I don't know off the top of my head if that bit is
readable. Docs say that they're R/W but I don't know if that means that
an AXI read works or if the value is actually readable. I'll try
something like this if I can.

Yeah, I know. At the end of the day, you're the one familiar with what
PWM consumers expect. If things go the wait-but-maybe-exit-early
direction I think I'll add something to the limitations to cover that.

I'd be more comfortable with it if the readable registers didn't hold

So I was doing some fiddling, and the following works reasonably well:
if (mchp_core_pwm->sync_update_mask & (1 << pwm->hwpwm)) {
u32 delay = MCHPCOREPWM_TIMEOUT_US;
u32 sync_upd;
int ret;
writel_relaxed(1u, mchp_core_pwm->base + MCHPCOREPWM_SYNC_UPD);
ret = read_poll_timeout(readl, sync_upd, !sync_upd, delay/100, delay,
false, mchp_core_pwm->base + MCHPCOREPWM_SYNC_UPD);
if (ret)
dev_dbg(mchp_core_pwm->chip.dev,
"timed out waiting for shadow register sync\n");
}
but...

...it does not implement what I think you suggested & comes with the
drawback of inconsistent behaviour depending on whether the timeout is
hit or not.
Instead, waiting in apply(), as you suggested, & get_state() looks to be the
better option, using the same sort of logic as above, say:
static int mchp_core_pwm_wait_for_sync_update(struct mchp_core_pwm_chip *mchp_core_pwm,
unsigned int channel)
{
int ret;
/*
* If a shadow register is used for this PWM channel, and iff there is
* a pending update to the waveform, we must wait for it to be applied
* before attempting to read its state, as reading the registers yields
* the currently implemented settings, the new ones are only readable
* once the current period has ended.
*
* Rather large delays are possible, in the seconds, so to avoid waiting
* around for **too** long - cap the wait at 100 ms.
*/
if (mchp_core_pwm->sync_update_mask & (1 << channel)) {
u32 delay = MCHPCOREPWM_TIMEOUT_US;
u32 sync_upd;
writel_relaxed(1u, mchp_core_pwm->base + MCHPCOREPWM_SYNC_UPD);
ret = read_poll_timeout(readl, sync_upd, !sync_upd, delay/100, delay,
false, mchp_core_pwm->base + MCHPCOREPWM_SYNC_UPD);
if (ret)
return -ETIMEDOUT;
}
return 0;
}
I think that strikes a good balance? We return quickly & don't blocker
the caller, but simultaneously try to prevent them from either trying to
apply new settings or get the current settings until the last request
has gone though?
get_state() returns void though, is it valid behaviour to wait for the
timeout there?
I had a check in the core code and found some places where the call in
looks like:
struct pwm_state s1, s2;
chip->ops->get_state(chip, pwm, &s1);
In this case, exiting early would leave us with a completely wrong
idead of the state, if it was to time out.
Either way, it seems like either way we would be misleading the caller
of get_state() - perhaps the way around that is to do the wait & then
just carry on with get_state()?
In that scenario, you'd get the new settings where possible and the old ones
otherwise.
Returning if the timeout is hit would give you the new settings where possible
& otherwise you'd get whatever was passed to get_state().
I'm not really sure which of those two situations would be preferred?
Thanks,
Conor.

Apologies for bumping this, I was wondering if any thoughts on the
above? I'm not sure which is the lesser evil here (or if I have
misunderstood something).

There was an approach to change that, see

Hmm, .get_state should not return the old state. We really want
.get_state to return an error code. Maybe postpone that question until
we have that?

That's fine. I'm sorry to be not more responsive. This development cycle
is somehow crazy and there are so many open mails in my inbox ... :-\

Ahh, yeah. That looks like a better idea. I'd much rather be able to
return an actual error.

If get_state() can return an error, there's no need for the question I
think. I'd rather return what's in the shadow registers *and* on the bus
or an error than an inconsistent state.
I'll send a v(N+1) based on the non-void get_state() at some point
soon-ish.

I came into work today thinking that I could just rebase on top of your
patchset and send out a v13, but that was unfortunately not the case :/
So uh, it turns out that I was wrong about the behaviour of the
sync_update register's bit.
It turns out that that bit holds it's value until the IP block is reset,
and /does not/ get cleared at the start of the next period.
I'm really not sure how it worked when I tested the other week [0], so I
spent the first half of the day trying to figure out what on earth had
happened to my FPGA image. I must've picked the wrong image when I went
to test it the other week that had the wrong configuration somehow.
As a result, I've gone and hacked up another way of transferring the
burden of waiting - setting a timer for the period, backed by a
completion. get_state() and apply() now both check for the completion
and time out otherwise. I'm half tempted to tack RFC back onto the
series as I have not really messed with timers at all before and may
have done something off the wall.
I pushed it out (see [1] in case you'd like to look) so that the bots
can have a play with it, since it'll be a few weeks before I'll have a
chance to properly test that I've broken nothing with this.
It's not nearly as neat or contained, but still benefits from the
non-void get_state() & doesn't "confuse" a caller of get_state() with
some potential garbage.
The diff on top of the read_poll_timeout() approach from above is pasted
here. Hopefully I'll refine it a bit before sending a v13, checkpatch
may have an aneurysm with what's below. Or have a better idea and throw
it out..
Thanks again for sending that v2 ~immediately,
Conor.

I didn't look, but I'm convinced you don't need a timer. Something like
the following should work, shouldn't it?:
- in .apply() check the current time, add the current period and store
the result to ddata->updatetimestamp
- in .get_state do:
if (current_time >= ddata->updatetimestamp)
process fine
else:
timeout (or wait until ddata->updatetimestamp?)
Actually I'd prefer to wait instead of -ETIMEOUT.
Best regards

Yeah & I did think of something along these lines. I was torn between
something that seemed heavy handed (timers) and calculating if enough
time had elapsed, which seemed a bit hacky.
Figured I was better off doing something quickly & asking rather than
polishing only to find out it was disliked ;)

Prefer to wait in get_state() or in both it & apply()?
Depending on how far away updatetimestamp is, would we still not want to
time out if it is going to be a long time, no?
Thanks again Uwe,
Conor.

Prefer to wait where it's necessary ...

I'd prefer a slow but right value over a quick error.
The sun4i driver has in its .apply():
/* We need a full period to elapse before disabling the channel. */
delay_us = DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL(cstate.period, NSEC_PER_USEC);
if ((delay_us / 500) > MAX_UDELAY_MS)
msleep(delay_us / 1000 + 1);
else
usleep_range(delay_us, delay_us * 2);
so it's at least not new in general to have a waiting time in O(period).
Best regards
Uwe
