Reset controller API
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Reset controllers are central units that control the reset signals to multiple
|
|
peripherals.
|
|
The reset controller API is split into two parts:
|
|
the `consumer driver interface <#consumer-driver-interface>`__ (`API reference
|
|
<#reset-consumer-api>`__), which allows peripheral drivers to request control
|
|
over their reset input signals, and the `reset controller driver interface
|
|
<#reset-controller-driver-interface>`__ (`API reference
|
|
<#reset-controller-driver-api>`__), which is used by drivers for reset
|
|
controller devices to register their reset controls to provide them to the
|
|
consumers.
|
|
|
|
While some reset controller hardware units also implement system restart
|
|
functionality, restart handlers are out of scope for the reset controller API.
|
|
|
|
Glossary
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The reset controller API uses these terms with a specific meaning:
|
|
|
|
Reset line
|
|
|
|
Physical reset line carrying a reset signal from a reset controller
|
|
hardware unit to a peripheral module.
|
|
|
|
Reset control
|
|
|
|
Control method that determines the state of one or multiple reset lines.
|
|
Most commonly this is a single bit in reset controller register space that
|
|
either allows direct control over the physical state of the reset line, or
|
|
is self-clearing and can be used to trigger a predetermined pulse on the
|
|
reset line.
|
|
In more complicated reset controls, a single trigger action can launch a
|
|
carefully timed sequence of pulses on multiple reset lines.
|
|
|
|
Reset controller
|
|
|
|
A hardware module that provides a number of reset controls to control a
|
|
number of reset lines.
|
|
|
|
Reset consumer
|
|
|
|
Peripheral module or external IC that is put into reset by the signal on a
|
|
reset line.
|
|
|
|
Consumer driver interface
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
This interface provides an API that is similar to the kernel clock framework.
|
|
Consumer drivers use get and put operations to acquire and release reset
|
|
controls.
|
|
Functions are provided to assert and deassert the controlled reset lines,
|
|
trigger reset pulses, or to query reset line status.
|
|
|
|
When requesting reset controls, consumers can use symbolic names for their
|
|
reset inputs, which are mapped to an actual reset control on an existing reset
|
|
controller device by the core.
|
|
|
|
A stub version of this API is provided when the reset controller framework is
|
|
not in use in order to minimize the need to use ifdefs.
|
|
|
|
Shared and exclusive resets
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
The reset controller API provides either reference counted deassertion and
|
|
assertion or direct, exclusive control.
|
|
The distinction between shared and exclusive reset controls is made at the time
|
|
the reset control is requested, either via devm_reset_control_get_shared() or
|
|
via devm_reset_control_get_exclusive().
|
|
This choice determines the behavior of the API calls made with the reset
|
|
control.
|
|
|
|
Shared resets behave similarly to clocks in the kernel clock framework.
|
|
They provide reference counted deassertion, where only the first deassert,
|
|
which increments the deassertion reference count to one, and the last assert
|
|
which decrements the deassertion reference count back to zero, have a physical
|
|
effect on the reset line.
|
|
|
|
Exclusive resets on the other hand guarantee direct control.
|
|
That is, an assert causes the reset line to be asserted immediately, and a
|
|
deassert causes the reset line to be deasserted immediately.
|
|
|
|
Assertion and deassertion
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Consumer drivers use the reset_control_assert() and reset_control_deassert()
|
|
functions to assert and deassert reset lines.
|
|
For shared reset controls, calls to the two functions must be balanced.
|
|
|
|
Note that since multiple consumers may be using a shared reset control, there
|
|
is no guarantee that calling reset_control_assert() on a shared reset control
|
|
will actually cause the reset line to be asserted.
|
|
Consumer drivers using shared reset controls should assume that the reset line
|
|
may be kept deasserted at all times.
|
|
The API only guarantees that the reset line can not be asserted as long as any
|
|
consumer has requested it to be deasserted.
|
|
|
|
Triggering
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Consumer drivers use reset_control_reset() to trigger a reset pulse on a
|
|
self-deasserting reset control.
|
|
In general, these resets can not be shared between multiple consumers, since
|
|
requesting a pulse from any consumer driver will reset all connected
|
|
peripherals.
|
|
|
|
The reset controller API allows requesting self-deasserting reset controls as
|
|
shared, but for those only the first trigger request causes an actual pulse to
|
|
be issued on the reset line.
|
|
All further calls to this function have no effect until all consumers have
|
|
called reset_control_rearm().
|
|
For shared reset controls, calls to the two functions must be balanced.
|
|
This allows devices that only require an initial reset at any point before the
|
|
driver is probed or resumed to share a pulsed reset line.
|
|
|
|
Querying
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Only some reset controllers support querying the current status of a reset
|
|
line, via reset_control_status().
|
|
If supported, this function returns a positive non-zero value if the given
|
|
reset line is asserted.
|
|
The reset_control_status() function does not accept a
|
|
`reset control array <#reset-control-arrays>`__ handle as its input parameter.
|
|
|
|
Optional resets
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Often peripherals require a reset line on some platforms but not on others.
|
|
For this, reset controls can be requested as optional using
|
|
devm_reset_control_get_optional_exclusive() or
|
|
devm_reset_control_get_optional_shared().
|
|
These functions return a NULL pointer instead of an error when the requested
|
|
reset control is not specified in the device tree.
|
|
Passing a NULL pointer to the reset_control functions causes them to return
|
|
quietly without an error.
|
|
|
|
Reset control arrays
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Some drivers need to assert a bunch of reset lines in no particular order.
|
|
devm_reset_control_array_get() returns an opaque reset control handle that can
|
|
be used to assert, deassert, or trigger all specified reset controls at once.
|
|
The reset control API does not guarantee the order in which the individual
|
|
controls therein are handled.
|
|
|
|
Reset controller driver interface
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
Drivers for reset controller modules provide the functionality necessary to
|
|
assert or deassert reset signals, to trigger a reset pulse on a reset line, or
|
|
to query its current state.
|
|
All functions are optional.
|
|
|
|
Initialization
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Drivers fill a struct :c:type:`reset_controller_dev` and register it with
|
|
reset_controller_register() in their probe function.
|
|
The actual functionality is implemented in callback functions via a struct
|
|
:c:type:`reset_control_ops`.
|
|
|
|
API reference
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The reset controller API is documented here in two parts:
|
|
the `reset consumer API <#reset-consumer-api>`__ and the `reset controller
|
|
driver API <#reset-controller-driver-api>`__.
|
|
|
|
Reset consumer API
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Reset consumers can control a reset line using an opaque reset control handle,
|
|
which can be obtained from devm_reset_control_get_exclusive() or
|
|
devm_reset_control_get_shared().
|
|
Given the reset control, consumers can call reset_control_assert() and
|
|
reset_control_deassert(), trigger a reset pulse using reset_control_reset(), or
|
|
query the reset line status using reset_control_status().

Reset controller driver API
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Reset controller drivers are supposed to implement the necessary functions in
|
|
a static constant structure :c:type:`reset_control_ops`, allocate and fill out
|
|
a struct :c:type:`reset_controller_dev`, and register it using
|
|
devm_reset_controller_register().
