- _DSD
- ====
- _DSD (Device Specific Data) [dsd-guide] is a predefined ACPI device
- configuration object that can be used to convey information on
- hardware features which are not specifically covered by the ACPI
- specification [acpi]. There are two _DSD extensions that are relevant
- for graphs: property [dsd-guide] and hierarchical data extensions. The
- property extension provides generic key-value pairs whereas the
- hierarchical data extension supports nodes with references to other
- nodes, forming a tree. The nodes in the tree may contain properties as
- defined by the property extension. The two extensions together provide
- a tree-like structure with zero or more properties (key-value pairs)
- in each node of the tree.
- The data structure may be accessed at runtime by using the device_*
- and fwnode_* functions defined in include/linux/fwnode.h .
- Fwnode represents a generic firmware node object. It is independent on
- the firmware type. In ACPI, fwnodes are _DSD hierarchical data
- extensions objects. A device's _DSD object is represented by an
- fwnode.
- The data structure may be referenced to elsewhere in the ACPI tables
- by using a hard reference to the device itself and an index to the
- hierarchical data extension array on each depth.
- Ports and endpoints
- ===================
- The port and endpoint concepts are very similar to those in Devicetree
- [devicetree, graph-bindings]. A port represents an interface in a device, and
- an endpoint represents a connection to that interface. Also see [data-node-ref]
- for generic data node references.
- All port nodes are located under the device's "_DSD" node in the hierarchical
- data extension tree. The data extension related to each port node must begin
- with "port" and must be followed by the "@" character and the number of the
- port as its key. The target object it refers to should be called "PRTX", where
- "X" is the number of the port. An example of such a package would be::
- Package() { "port@4", "PRT4" }
- Further on, endpoints are located under the port nodes. The hierarchical
- data extension key of the endpoint nodes must begin with
- "endpoint" and must be followed by the "@" character and the number of the
- endpoint. The object it refers to should be called "EPXY", where "X" is the
- number of the port and "Y" is the number of the endpoint. An example of such a
- package would be::
- Package() { "endpoint@0", "EP40" }
- Each port node contains a property extension key "port", the value of which is
- the number of the port. Each endpoint is similarly numbered with a property
- extension key "reg", the value of which is the number of the endpoint. Port
- numbers must be unique within a device and endpoint numbers must be unique
- within a port. If a device object may only has a single port, then the number
- of that port shall be zero. Similarly, if a port may only have a single
- endpoint, the number of that endpoint shall be zero.
- The endpoint reference uses property extension with "remote-endpoint" property
- name followed by a reference in the same package. Such references consist of
- the remote device reference, the first package entry of the port data extension
- reference under the device and finally the first package entry of the endpoint
- data extension reference under the port. Individual references thus appear as::
- Package() { device, "port@X", "endpoint@Y" }
- In the above example, "X" is the number of the port and "Y" is the number of
- the endpoint.
- The references to endpoints must be always done both ways, to the
- remote endpoint and back from the referred remote endpoint node.
- A simple example of this is show below::
- Scope (\_SB.PCI0.I2C2)
- {
- Device (CAM0)
- {
- Name (_DSD, Package () {
- ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
- Package () {
- Package () { "compatible", Package () { "nokia,smia" } },
- },
- ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"),
- Package () {
- Package () { "port@0", "PRT0" },
- }
- })
- Name (PRT0, Package() {
- ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
- Package () {
- Package () { "reg", 0 },
- },
- ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"),
- Package () {
- Package () { "endpoint@0", "EP00" },
- }
- })
- Name (EP00, Package() {
- ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
- Package () {
- Package () { "reg", 0 },
- Package () { "remote-endpoint", Package() { \_SB.PCI0.ISP, "port@4", "endpoint@0" } },
- }
- })
- }
- }
- Scope (\_SB.PCI0)
- {
- Device (ISP)
- {
- Name (_DSD, Package () {
- ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"),
- Package () {
- Package () { "port@4", "PRT4" },
- }
- })
- Name (PRT4, Package() {
- ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
- Package () {
- Package () { "reg", 4 }, /* CSI-2 port number */
- },
- ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"),
- Package () {
- Package () { "endpoint@0", "EP40" },
- }
- })
- Name (EP40, Package() {
- ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
- Package () {
- Package () { "reg", 0 },
- Package () { "remote-endpoint", Package () { \_SB.PCI0.I2C2.CAM0, "port@0", "endpoint@0" } },
- }
- })
- }
- }
- Here, the port 0 of the "CAM0" device is connected to the port 4 of
- the "ISP" device and vice versa.
