[PATCH v3 07/10] common: add initial barebox deep-probe support

Marco Felsch m.felsch at pengutronix.de
Wed Oct 21 07:58:10 EDT 2020


The barebox 'deep probe' or 'probe on demand' mechanism is the answer of
unwanted -EPROBE_DEFER failures. The EPROBE_DEFER error code was
introduced by commit ab3da15bc14c ("base: Introduce deferred probing")
and since then it causes a few problems.

The error is returned if either the device is not yet present or the
driver is not yet registered. This makes sense on linux systems where
modules and hot-plug devices are used very often but not for barebox.
The module support is rarely used and devices aren't hot pluggable.

The current barebox behaviour populates all devices before the drivers
are registered so all devices are present during the driver
registration. So the driver probe() function gets called immediately
after the driver registration and causes the -EPROBE_DEFER error if this
driver depends on an other not yet registered driver.

To get rid of the EPROBE_DEFER error code we need to reorder the device
population and the driver registration. All drivers must be registered
first. In an ideal world all driver can be registered by the same
initcall level. Then devices are getting populated which causes calling
the driver probe() function but this time resources/devices are created
on demand if not yet available.

Dependencies between devices are normally expressed as references to
other device nodes. With deep probe barebox provides helper functions
which take a device node and probe the device behind that node if
necessary. This means instead of returning -EPROBE_DEFER, we can now
make the desired resources available once we need them.

If the resource can't be created we are returning -ENODEV since we are
not supporting hot-plugging. Dropping EPROBE_DEFER is the long-term
goal, avoid initcall shifting is the short-term goal.

Call it deep-probe since the on-demand device creation can create very
deep stacks. This commit adds the initial support for: spi, i2c, reset,
regulator and clk resource on-demand creation. The deep-probe mechanism
must be enabled for each board to avoid breaking changes using
deep_probe_enable(). This can be changed later after all boards are
converted to the new mechanism.

Changelog:

v2:
- add deep-probe state to verify it once
- use a linker list array instead of initcalls and runtime allocation
- make of_device_create_on_demand an internal function
- convert to of_device_ensure_probed* and of_devices_ensure_probed*
- add missing function docs
- force the existence of the driver to avoid EPROBE_DEFER (see long-term
  goal)
- return int instead of device_d
- fix stub funcs
- add BUG_ON() to track undefined behaviour
- add comment to of_platform_device_create() to make it clear that
  calling it again for an already populated device is not allowed
- i2c: only set of_node->dev if it is available

v3:
- s/DEEP_PROBE_UNKONW/DEEP_PROBE_UNKONWN/
- return retval of of_probe() during barebox_of_populate()
- fix comment typos
- make use of __UNIQUE_ID macro to simplify BAREBOX_DEEP_PROBE_ENABLE
- make deep_probe_entry's static -> local
- drop unrelated changes
- fix commit message typo
- be a bit smarter handling while handling deep_probe_state
