This ports over the nvmem framework from the kernel. I probably won't
apply it as is since it doesn't make me very happy. While it generally
works the very first test already reveals that it can't properly handle
the different layouts of nvmem cells. The MAC addresses for the i.MX
FEC are stored in different byte orders in the IIM/OCOTP units. There's
simply no proper place to encode these different byte orders, see patch
[2/2].

* [PATCH 2/2] nvmem: Test it with fec/ocotp
  2016-02-03 16:27 [PATCH] Add nvmem support Sascha Hauer
  2016-02-03 16:27 ` [PATCH 1/2] drivers: add nvmem framework from kernel Sascha Hauer
@ 2016-02-03 16:27 ` Sascha Hauer

  To: Barebox List

This adds a test for the nvmem framework. The ocotp is registered as a
nvmem device which shall provide the MAC address for the i.MX FEC
driver.

While this generally works it reveals a shortcoming of the nvmem
framework: There's no way to specify the layout of the cell. For example
the MAC address stored in the OCOTP has another byte order than
the one stored in the IIM module on older i.MX SoCs. The FEC driver
shouldn't know about these differences, so it shouldn't be implemented
there. The OCOTP and IIM drivers are generic drivers used on different
SoCs aswell, so the differences shouldn't be encoded there either.
This leaves the device tree to put the differences in, but this simple
example already shows how complex such a binding probably becomes when
all kinds of different possibilities of byte orders shall be encoded.
What's missing is some kind of mapping driver that could be plugged
between a nvmem provider and its consumer where all these differences
can be handled.

Why is there both a nvmem-cells = <&fec_mac_address> property in the fec
and also a barebox,provide-mac-address = <&fec 0x620> property in the
ocotp?  It seems like only one should need to point to the other.


Here's an idea for an nvmem property for coping byteorder, etc.


fec_mac_address: mac_address@88 {
        reg = <0x88 0x8>;
        map = [1 2 3 4 5 6 0 0];  // Leftmost octet first order
        map = [6 5 4 3 2 1 0 0];  // Rightmost octet first order

        // Leftmost first, but with opposite byte order within each word
        map = [4 3 2 1 0 0 6 5];

        // Only extension is stored
        reg = <0x88 4>; // Just four bytes are used
        map = [4 5 6 0];
};

The idea is the map property lists the destination location of each byte
in the reg range.  The first item in map is the location of the first
byte in the range, a value of one (not zero) indicates it should be the
first byte in the output, 2 the second byte, and so on.  0 means the
byte isn't used.  It's pretty common to use use six bytes inside a 8
byte field for a mac.

Yes, finally only one is needed. The patch is for testing purposes only
at the moment.

I guess that would work for this case. The binding as it is documented
currently allows a 'bits' property:

bits:	Is pair of bit location and number of bits, which specifies offset
	in bit and number of bits within the address range specified by
	reg property. Offset takes values from 0-7.

Both 'map' and 'bits' combined already make a quite confusing binding.

Still it's easy to think of situations where this is still not enough.
Think of checksums or things like "The MAC is valid when this bit is
set" or the case you mention above when only the lower bytes of the MAC
address are stored in the nvmem. I think in all these situations a
purely descriptive binding is not enough.
