+09:35 < geertu> Welcome to Today's Core Group Chat!
+09:35 < geertu> Agenda:
+09:35 < geertu> 1. Status Updates
+09:35 < geertu> 2. Discussion Topics
+09:35 < geertu> Topic 1. Status updates
+09:35 < geertu> A) What have we done since last time:
+09:35 < geertu> Jacopo reviewed the RZ/N1 pinctrl driver.
+09:35 < geertu> Marek worked on Linux PCIe 32bit DMA, ATF (memory config passing), and
+09:35 < geertu> U-Boot (memory config passing, Gen3 USB PHY, TMIO SDMMC, SPL as minimon
+09:35 < geertu> replacement).
+09:35 < geertu> Morimoto-san discussed the PeriPeri process, reviewed BSP commit
+09:35 < geertu> descriptions, and reports Magnu's Ebisu-4D has arrived.
+09:35 < geertu> Shimoda-san says Renesas Vietnam started testing LTSI v4.14-rc2,
+09:35 < geertu> discussed power management support in the IPMMU driver with Magnus, and
+09:35 < geertu> submitted v2 of the usb2.0 host/peripheral property updates.
+09:35 < geertu> Geert worked on virtualization (pass-through preparatory work, device
+09:35 < geertu> reset, proof-of-concept for QEMU GPIO virtualization), sent
+09:35 < geertu> clock/pinctrl pull requets, and upported/enabled INTC-EX on R-Car E3.
+09:36 < geertu> B) What we plan to do till next time:
+09:36 < geertu> Marek will continue ATF-U-Boot DT memory layout handoff and SPL
+09:36 < geertu> experiments, and will revisit PCIe SError.
+09:36 < geertu> Morimoto-san will create process images for ELCE.
+09:36 < geertu> Shimoda-san says Renesas Vietnam will continue testing LTSI v4.14-rc2 until
+09:36 < geertu> Oct 5th. He will discuss with Simon-san about R-Car E3 enablement.
+09:36 < geertu> Geert will sent a third pinctrl pull-request for v4.20, Remove
+09:36 < geertu> SoC-specific ARCH_* symbols to please arm-soc, and handle SYSC and PFC
+09:36 < geertu> errata.
+09:38 < geertu> Anything I missed?
+09:38 < horms> geertu: I'd like to talk about those symbols and how to finalise getting our v4.20 patches accepted. But it can be outside of this meeting.
+09:40 < geertu> OK, let me summarize
+09:40 < geertu> Arnd asked to remove all SoC-specific ARCH_* symbols, as other vendors don't have them.
+09:40 < geertu> However, this means the SoC-specific CLK_* and SH_PFC_* symbols will become user-visible.
+09:41 < geertu> In addition, there are a few other places (mostly drivers/soc/renesas/) where these ARCH_* symbols are used, so they have to be "fixed".
+09:42 < Marex> geertu: I wanna focus on U-Boot testing, but that's a detail
+09:42 < geertu> We do want to avoid including too much unneeded stuff where it makes sense (e.g. RZ/A with internal SRAM only and XIP)
+09:43 < geertu> horms: Any comments?
+09:43 < horms> geertu: So I see we will need to make some adjustments. Will they be for both ARM and arm64? Once we have sorted out what they are, can we make sure everyone, including Chris Patterson, is aware so new patches follow the new way. I assume any changes will take effect in v4.21 at the earliest, in which case we can prod Arnd to take the existing pull request.
+09:44 < geertu> horms: If we do it for arm64, I think it makes sense to do it for arm32, too.
+09:44 < horms> It seems to me that Arnd has a policy that he wishes to enforce - for no other reason than it exists. Iguess we have to work with that.
+09:44 < horms> Ok, consistency is good for me.
+09:45 < horms> Is the plan to expose the CLK_* and SH_PFC_* symbols?
+09:45 < horms> It doesn't seem terrible to me
+09:45 < horms> Though it does seem slightly worse than the current situation
+09:45 < geertu> We will need a new ARCH_RCAR_GEN3 symbol, as ARCH_RENESAS applies to arm64 and arm32, and Arnd was OK with that
+09:46 < geertu> Correct, CLK_* and SH_PFC_* symbols will become user-visible (they already were for RZ/A1 and RZ/N1, as they may rely on the bootloader for pinctrl setup, to reduce kernel size)
+09:46 < horms> Ok, I'm a little confused about the purpose of ARCH_RCAR_GEN3
+09:47 < wsa_> ARCH_RENESAS64?
+09:47 < horms> I assume it would cover RZ/G2 but not some other SoCs, say RZ/A2
+09:47 < geertu> Correct.
+09:47 < geertu> RZ/A2 is arm32, so not affected
+09:47 < horms> Would it be user-visible?
+09:48 < geertu> drivers/soc/renesas/Kconfig
+09:48 < geertu>         select RST_RCAR if ARCH_RCAR_GEN1 || ARCH_RCAR_GEN2 || \
+09:48 < geertu>                            ARCH_R8A774A1 || ARCH_R8A774C0 || ARCH_R8A7795 || \
+09:48 < geertu>                            ARCH_R8A7796 || ARCH_R8A77965 || ARCH_R8A77970 || \
+09:48 < geertu>                            ARCH_R8A77980 || ARCH_R8A77990 || ARCH_R8A77995
+09:48 < geertu> The last part would be replaced by ARCH_RCAR_GEN3
+09:49 < geertu> Oh, we also have SYSC_*, forgot about those...
+09:49 < geertu> But the sysc files are smaller, so we could always include them, based on SoC family.
+09:50 < geertu> ARCH_RCAR_GEN3 would not be user-visible
+09:50 < geertu> For now, once e.g. RZ/A3 becomes arm64, we need a new family selector.
+09:50 < horms> Ok, so we would end up with the same amount or rst code compiled in
+09:50 < horms> More sysc code, but it would be onl a little bit more
+09:50 < horms> And pinctl and clk would be selected by the user
+09:51 < geertu> Correct.
+09:51 < horms> Ok, I understand
+09:51 < geertu> pinctrl code for one SoC is O(tens of KiB)
+09:51 -!- neg [~neg@unaffiliated/neg] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
+09:51 < geertu> clock code for one SoC is O(some KiB)
+09:51 < horms> This does seem slightly worse than the current situation. But if thats what Arnd wants I think we can live with it
+09:51 < geertu> sysc code for one SoC is O(few hundred bytes)
+09:52 -!- neg [~neg@unaffiliated/neg] has joined #periperi
+09:52 < horms> I look forward to reciving a request from him to have per-soc Kconfig symbols to be more like other vendors :^)
+09:52 < geertu> horms: That may come from Olof, or Kevin ;-)
+09:52 < horms> Regarding v4.20, can we prod him to take the pull-request as is
+09:52 < horms> geertu: haha
+09:52 < geertu> horms: Probably yes.
+09:52 < horms> Ok, will you prod him or shall I. If so, when?
+09:53 < geertu> horms: Didn't he take your PR?
+09:54 < horms> No, I don't think so.
+09:54 < horms> I did check that yesterday
+09:55 < horms> I don't see it in arm-soc/for-next
+09:55 < geertu> Indeed. I will ask him to pull it.
+09:55 < horms> Thanks
+09:56 < horms> From my pov we have a way forwards to fix his greivance, and can likely implement it in v4.21, but we'd be most grateful if he could take the pr for v4.20 in its current form to enable our new hw in upstream in that release.
+09:57 < horms> sorry to take so much of everyones time in the meeting
+09:58 < geertu> Replied to Arnd.
+09:58 -!- patersonc [c18ddb24@gateway/web/freenode/ip.193.141.219.36] has joined #periperi
+09:58 < horms> dank u wel
+09:58 < geertu> Inserting "Topic 2. Discussion Topics
+09:58 < geertu> " above
+09:58 < geertu> Any other discussion topics?
+10:01 < wsa_> do we have a place to meet on Friday in Edinburgh?
+10:01 < wsa_> I am not aware
+10:02 < wsa_> but I may have missed it
+10:02 < geertu> I am not aware, neither
+10:02 < Marex> geertu: U-Boot testing ?
+10:02 < pinchartl> wsa_: in that case I missed it too
+10:02 < geertu> Anyone familiar with Edinburgh?
+10:03 < Marex> geertu: U-Boot has a testsuite, so we should start running it continously
+10:03 < wsa_> I can have a look
+10:03 < geertu> Marex: yes, (automated) testing is great!
+10:04 < Marex> geertu: do we do any automated testing for Linux ?
+10:05 < geertu> wsa_: Thx!
+10:05 < geertu> Marex: Not enough, I guess
+10:06 < Marex> geertu: I think once I finish the current batch of tasks, I'd like to start looking in that direction
+10:06 < geertu> Marex: That would be great!
+10:08 < geertu> Time to pass the mic to pinchartl?
+10:08 < geertu> Thanks for joining, and have a nice continued day!
