Subject: [PATCH v2 00/14] dmaengine/soc: Add Texas Instruments UDMA support

Changes since v1
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-dmaengine/list/?series=114105&state=*)
- Added support for j721e
- Based on 5.3-rc2
- dropped ti_sci API patch for RM management as it is already upstream
- dropped dmadev_get_slave_channel() patch, using __dma_request_channel()
- Added Rob's Reviewed-by to ringacc DT binding document patch
- DT bindings changes:
 - linux,udma-mode is gone, I have a simple lookup table in the driver to flag
   TR channels.
 - Support for j721e
- Fix bug in of_node_put() handling in xlate function

Changes since RFC (https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10612465/):
- Based on linux-next (20190506) which now have the ti_sci interrupt support
- The series can be applied and the UDMA via DMAengine API will be functional
- Included in the series: ti_sci Resource management API, cppi5 header and
  driver for the ring accelerator.
- The DMAengine core patches have been updated as per the review comments for
  earlier submittion.
- The DMAengine driver patch is artificially split up to 6 smaller patches

The k3-udma driver implements the Data Movement Architecture described in
AM65x TRM (http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruid7) and
j721e TRM (http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruil1)

This DMA architecture is a big departure from 'traditional' architecture where
we had either EDMA or sDMA as system DMA.

Packet DMAs were used as dedicated DMAs to service only networking (Kesytone2)
or USB (am335x) while other peripherals were serviced by EDMA.

In AM65x/j721e the UDMA (Unified DMA) is used for all data movment within the
SoC, tasked to service all peripherals (UART, McSPI, McASP, networking, etc). 

The NAVSS/UDMA is built around CPPI5 (Communications Port Programming Interface)
and it supports Packet mode (similar to CPPI4.1 in Keystone2 for networking) and
TR mode (similar to EDMA descriptor).
The data movement is done within a PSI-L fabric, peripherals (including the
UDMA-P) are not addressed by their I/O register as with traditional DMAs but
with their PSI-L thread ID.

In AM65x/j721e we have two main type of peripherals:
Legacy: McASP, McSPI, UART, etc.
 to provide connectivity they are serviced by PDMA (Peripheral DMA)
 PDMA threads are locked to service a given peripheral, for example PSI-L thread
 0x4400/0xc400 is to service McASP0 rx/tx.
 The PDMa configuration can be done via the UDMA Real Time Peer registers.
Native: Networking, security accelerator
 these peripherals have native support for PSI-L.

To be able to use the DMA the following generic steps need to be taken:
- configure a DMA channel (tchan for TX, rchan for RX)
 - channel mode: Packet or TR mode
 - for memcpy a tchan and rchan pair is used.
 - for packet mode RX we also need to configure a receive flow to configure the
   packet receiption
- the source and destination threads must be paired
- at minimum one pair of rings need to be configured:
 - tx: transfer ring and transfer completion ring
 - rx: free descriptor ring and receive ring
- two interrupts: UDMA-P channel interrupt and ring interrupt for tc_ring/r_ring
 - If the channel is in packet mode or configured to memcpy then we only need
   one interrupt from the ring, events from UDMAP is not used.

When the channel setup is completed we only interract with the rings:
- TX: push a descriptor to t_ring and wait for it to be pushed to the tc_ring by
  the UDMA-P
- RX: push a descriptor to the fd_ring and waith for UDMA-P to push it back to
  the r_ring.

Since we have FIFOs in the DMA fabric (UDMA-P, PSI-L and PDMA) which was not the
case in previous DMAs we need to report the amount of data held in these FIFOs
to clients (delay calculation for ALSA, UART FIFO flush support).

Metadata support:
DMAengine user driver was posted upstream based/tested on the v1 of the UDMA
series: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/28/20
SA2UL is using the metadata DMAengine API.

Note on the last patch:
In Keystone2 the networking had dedicated DMA (packet DMA) which is not the case
anymore and the DMAengine API currently missing support for the features we
would need to support networking, things like
- support for receive descriptor 'classification'
 - we need to support several receive queues for a channel.
 - the queues are used for packet priority handling for example, but they can be
   used to have pools of descriptors for different sizes.
- out of order completion of descriptors on a channel
 - when we have several queues to handle different priority packets the
   descriptors will be completed 'out-of-order'
- NAPI type of operation (polling instead of interrupt driven transfer)
 - without this we can not sustain gigabit speeds and we need to support NAPI
 - not to limit this to networking, but other high performance operations

It is my intention to work on these to be able to remove the 'glue' layer and
switch to DMAengine API - or have an API aside of DMAengine to have generic way
to support networking, but given how controversial and not trivial these changes
are we need something to support networking.

The series (+DT patch to enabled UDMA/PDMA on AM65x) on top of 5.3-rc2 is
available:
