[PATCH 0/4] reset: introduct generic bit reset controller

[Inochi Amaoto]

Many SoC have a simple reset controller with toggling bit to perform
assert/deassert. It is annoyed to add compatiable for each device when
coming a new SoC. It is necessary to introduct a generic device to
simplify these things.

Add a simple generic bit reset controller, and migrate the Sophgo
SG2042 reset controller as an example.

[PATCH 1/4] dt-bindings: reset: add generic bit reset controller

[Inochi Amaoto]

Some SoCs from Aspeed, Allwinner, Sophgo and Synopsys have
a simple reset controller by toggling bit. It is a hard time
for each device to add its own compatible to the driver.
Since this device share a common design, it is possible to
add a common device to reduce these unnecessary change.

Add common binding for these kind generic reset controller.

SoC components are rarely that simple and even if it is just a bit,
usually it is part of one or few registers.

Anyway, there are already bindings for reset-simple and I do not
understand why this has to be duplicated.

It would be one compatible and set of properties describing resets.

So what is the point of the binding?

You'll still have to add a compatible to reset-simple.yaml for each new
SoC, see patch 3.

I think some properties should be documented that make reset
controllers "simple" according to this binding.

For example, right now, the reset-simple driver assumes the following:

  - There is a single, contiguous range of 32-bit registers.
  - All bits in each register directly control a reset line.
     - There are no self-deasserting resets.
     - There are no timing requirements.
     - The bits are exclusively resets, nothing else.
  - All bits behave the same, so all reset bits are either
    active-high or all are active-low.
  - The bits can be read back, but the read status may
    be active-low independently from the writes.

> +  compatible:

I wonder if it would be better to have a single

  compatible:
    const: reset-simple

and a boolean property, e.g.

  active-low:
    type: boolean

like in leds/common.yaml. Also it should be documented clearly what
this means for reads and writes.

The example should probably include a SoC specific compatible?

Yes, in those cases (which are probably most of them), I would argue
this binding doesn't really fit.

I think the motivation is to not have to add a new binding document and
modify reset-simple.c every time there is a new SoC. I wonder if some
of this can be mitigated by adding just the binding document similar to
trivial-devices.yaml, without the actual "reset-simple" compatible.

Yeah, this is the motivation for me to write this patch. It seems that I
describe it in a wrong way.

It is better to keep the original compatible. Adding new base compatible
will break existing device and make the migration hard.

Yeah, it is better to have a property instead of defining a base
compatible. With this property, there are two ways to process this
property with existing device:

1. If device has defined the data, the active-low is ignored
2. If device has defined the data, the active-low will overwrite
   the device data.

I wonder which one is better?

I think it is OK. But I think it should be added when a
specific compatible is coming.
