- _DSD Device Properties Related to GPIO
- ======================================
- With the release of ACPI 5.1, the _DSD configuration object finally
- allows names to be given to GPIOs (and other things as well) returned
- by _CRS. Previously, we were only able to use an integer index to find
- the corresponding GPIO, which is pretty error prone (it depends on
- the _CRS output ordering, for example).
- With _DSD we can now query GPIOs using a name instead of an integer
- index, like the ASL example below shows::
- // Bluetooth device with reset and shutdown GPIOs
- Device (BTH)
- {
- Name (_HID, ...)
- Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate ()
- {
- GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
- "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 15 }
- GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
- "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 27, 31 }
- })
- Name (_DSD, Package ()
- {
- ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
- Package ()
- {
- Package () { "reset-gpios", Package () { ^BTH, 1, 1, 0 } },
- Package () { "shutdown-gpios", Package () { ^BTH, 0, 0, 0 } },
- }
- })
- }
- The format of the supported GPIO property is::
- Package () { "name", Package () { ref, index, pin, active_low }}
- ref
- The device that has _CRS containing GpioIo()/GpioInt() resources,
- typically this is the device itself (BTH in our case).
- index
- Index of the GpioIo()/GpioInt() resource in _CRS starting from zero.
- pin
- Pin in the GpioIo()/GpioInt() resource. Typically this is zero.
- active_low
- If 1, the GPIO is marked as active_low.
- Since ACPI GpioIo() resource does not have a field saying whether it is
- active low or high, the "active_low" argument can be used here. Setting
- it to 1 marks the GPIO as active low.
- Note, active_low in _DSD does not make sense for GpioInt() resource and
- must be 0. GpioInt() resource has its own means of defining it.
- In our Bluetooth example the "reset-gpios" refers to the second GpioIo()
- resource, second pin in that resource with the GPIO number of 31.
- The GpioIo() resource unfortunately doesn't explicitly provide an initial
- state of the output pin which driver should use during its initialization.
- Linux tries to use common sense here and derives the state from the bias
- and polarity settings. The table below shows the expectations:
- ========= ============= ==============
- Pull Bias Polarity Requested...
- ========= ============= ==============
- Implicit x AS IS (assumed firmware configured for us)
- Explicit x (no _DSD) as Pull Bias (Up == High, Down == Low),
- assuming non-active (Polarity = !Pull Bias)
- Down Low as low, assuming active
- Down High as low, assuming non-active
- Up Low as high, assuming non-active
- Up High as high, assuming active
- ========= ============= ==============
- That said, for our above example the both GPIOs, since the bias setting
- is explicit and _DSD is present, will be treated as active with a high
- polarity and Linux will configure the pins in this state until a driver
- reprograms them differently.
- It is possible to leave holes in the array of GPIOs. This is useful in
- cases like with SPI host controllers where some chip selects may be
- implemented as GPIOs and some as native signals. For example a SPI host
- controller can have chip selects 0 and 2 implemented as GPIOs and 1 as
- native::
- Package () {
- "cs-gpios",
- Package () {
- ^GPIO, 19, 0, 0, // chip select 0: GPIO
- 0, // chip select 1: native signal
- ^GPIO, 20, 0, 0, // chip select 2: GPIO
- }
- }
- Note, that historically ACPI has no means of the GPIO polarity and thus
- the SPISerialBus() resource defines it on the per-chip basis. In order
- to avoid a chain of negations, the GPIO polarity is considered being
- Active High. Even for the cases when _DSD() is involved (see the example
- above) the GPIO CS polarity must be defined Active High to avoid ambiguity.
- Other supported properties
- ==========================
- Following Device Tree compatible device properties are also supported by
- _DSD device properties for GPIO controllers:
- - gpio-hog
- - output-high
- - output-low
- - input
- - line-name
- Example::
- Name (_DSD, Package () {
- // _DSD Hierarchical Properties Extension UUID
- ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"),
- Package () {
- Package () { "hog-gpio8", "G8PU" }
- }
- })
- Name (G8PU, Package () {
- ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
- Package () {
- Package () { "gpio-hog", 1 },
- Package () { "gpios", Package () { 8, 0 } },
- Package () { "output-high", 1 },
- Package () { "line-name", "gpio8-pullup" },
- }
- })
- - gpio-line-names
- The ``gpio-line-names`` declaration is a list of strings ("names"), which
- describes each line/pin of a GPIO controller/expander. This list, contained in
- a package, must be inserted inside the GPIO controller declaration of an ACPI
- table (typically inside the DSDT). The ``gpio-line-names`` list must respect the
- following rules (see also the examples):
- - the first name in the list corresponds with the first line/pin of the GPIO
- controller/expander
- - the names inside the list must be consecutive (no "holes" are permitted)
- - the list can be incomplete and can end before the last GPIO line: in
- other words, it is not mandatory to fill all the GPIO lines
- - empty names are allowed (two quotation marks ``""`` correspond to an empty
- name)
- - names inside one GPIO controller/expander must be unique
- Example of a GPIO controller of 16 lines, with an incomplete list with two
- empty names::
- Package () {
- "gpio-line-names",
- Package () {
- "pin_0",
- "pin_1",
- "",
- "",
- "pin_3",
- "pin_4_push_button",
- }
- }
- At runtime, the above declaration produces the following result (using the
- "libgpiod" tools)::
- root@debian:~# gpioinfo gpiochip4
- gpiochip4 - 16 lines:
- line 0: "pin_0" unused input active-high
- line 1: "pin_1" unused input active-high
- line 2: unnamed unused input active-high
- line 3: unnamed unused input active-high
- line 4: "pin_3" unused input active-high
- line 5: "pin_4_push_button" unused input active-high
- line 6: unnamed unused input active-high
- line 7 unnamed unused input active-high
- line 8: unnamed unused input active-high
- line 9: unnamed unused input active-high
- line 10: unnamed unused input active-high
- line 11: unnamed unused input active-high
- line 12: unnamed unused input active-high
- line 13: unnamed unused input active-high
- line 14: unnamed unused input active-high
- line 15: unnamed unused input active-high
- root@debian:~# gpiofind pin_4_push_button
- gpiochip4 5
- root@debian:~#
- Another example::
- Package () {
- "gpio-line-names",
- Package () {
- "SPI0_CS_N", "EXP2_INT", "MUX6_IO", "UART0_RXD",
- "MUX7_IO", "LVL_C_A1", "MUX0_IO", "SPI1_MISO",
- }
- }
- See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/gpio.txt for more information
- about these properties.
- ACPI GPIO Mappings Provided by Drivers
- ======================================
- There are systems in which the ACPI tables do not contain _DSD but provide _CRS
- with GpioIo()/GpioInt() resources and device drivers still need to work with
- them.
- In those cases ACPI device identification objects, _HID, _CID, _CLS, _SUB, _HRV,
- available to the driver can be used to identify the device and that is supposed
- to be sufficient to determine the meaning and purpose of all of the GPIO lines
- listed by the GpioIo()/GpioInt() resources returned by _CRS. In other words,
- the driver is supposed to know what to use the GpioIo()/GpioInt() resources for
- once it has identified the device. Having done that, it can simply assign names
- to the GPIO lines it is going to use and provide the GPIO subsystem with a
- mapping between those names and the ACPI GPIO resources corresponding to them.
- To do that, the driver needs to define a mapping table as a NULL-terminated
- array of struct acpi_gpio_mapping objects that each contains a name, a pointer
- to an array of line data (struct acpi_gpio_params) objects and the size of that
- array. Each struct acpi_gpio_params object consists of three fields,
- crs_entry_index, line_index, active_low, representing the index of the target
- GpioIo()/GpioInt() resource in _CRS starting from zero, the index of the target
- line in that resource starting from zero, and the active-low flag for that line,
- respectively, in analogy with the _DSD GPIO property format specified above.
- For the example Bluetooth device discussed previously the data structures in
- question would look like this::
- static const struct acpi_gpio_params reset_gpio = { 1, 1, false };
- static const struct acpi_gpio_params shutdown_gpio = { 0, 0, false };
- static const struct acpi_gpio_mapping bluetooth_acpi_gpios[] = {
- { "reset-gpios", &reset_gpio, 1 },
- { "shutdown-gpios", &shutdown_gpio, 1 },
- { }
- };
- Next, the mapping table needs to be passed as the second argument to
- acpi_dev_add_driver_gpios() or its managed analogue that will
- register it with the ACPI device object pointed to by its first
- argument. That should be done in the driver's .probe() routine.
- On removal, the driver should unregister its GPIO mapping table by
- calling acpi_dev_remove_driver_gpios() on the ACPI device object where that
- table was previously registered.
- Using the _CRS fallback
- =======================
- If a device does not have _DSD or the driver does not create ACPI GPIO
- mapping, the Linux GPIO framework refuses to return any GPIOs. This is
- because the driver does not know what it actually gets. For example if we
- have a device like below::
- Device (BTH)
- {
- Name (_HID, ...)
- Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () {
- GpioIo (Exclusive, PullNone, 0, 0, IoRestrictionNone,
- "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 15 }
- GpioIo (Exclusive, PullNone, 0, 0, IoRestrictionNone,
- "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 27 }
- })
- }
- The driver might expect to get the right GPIO when it does::
- desc = gpiod_get(dev, "reset", GPIOD_OUT_LOW);
- if (IS_ERR(desc))
- ...error handling...
- but since there is no way to know the mapping between "reset" and
- the GpioIo() in _CRS desc will hold ERR_PTR(-ENOENT).
- The driver author can solve this by passing the mapping explicitly
- (this is the recommended way and it's documented in the above chapter).
- The ACPI GPIO mapping tables should not contaminate drivers that are not
- knowing about which exact device they are servicing on. It implies that
- the ACPI GPIO mapping tables are hardly linked to an ACPI ID and certain
- objects, as listed in the above chapter, of the device in question.
- Getting GPIO descriptor
- =======================
- There are two main approaches to get GPIO resource from ACPI::
- desc = gpiod_get(dev, connection_id, flags);
- desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, connection_id, index, flags);
- We may consider two different cases here, i.e. when connection ID is
- provided and otherwise.
- Case 1::
- desc = gpiod_get(dev, "non-null-connection-id", flags);
- desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, "non-null-connection-id", index, flags);
- Case 2::
- desc = gpiod_get(dev, NULL, flags);
- desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, NULL, index, flags);
- Case 1 assumes that corresponding ACPI device description must have
- defined device properties and will prevent to getting any GPIO resources
- otherwise.
- Case 2 explicitly tells GPIO core to look for resources in _CRS.
- Be aware that gpiod_get_index() in cases 1 and 2, assuming that there
- are two versions of ACPI device description provided and no mapping is
- present in the driver, will return different resources. That's why a
- certain driver has to handle them carefully as explained in the previous
- chapter.
