1What: /sys/dev
2Date: April 2008
3KernelVersion: 2.6.26
4Contact: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
5Description: The /sys/dev tree provides a method to look up the sysfs
6 path for a device using the information returned from
7 stat(2). There are two directories, 'block' and 'char',
8 beneath /sys/dev containing symbolic links with names of
9 the form "<major>:<minor>". These links point to the
10 corresponding sysfs path for the given device.
11
12 Example:
13 $ readlink /sys/dev/block/8:32
14 ../../block/sdc
15
16 Entries in /sys/dev/char and /sys/dev/block will be
17 dynamically created and destroyed as devices enter and
18 leave the system.

200 For some hardware that has more than one interrupt source internally,
201 but not separate IRQ mask and status registers, there might be
202 situations where userspace cannot determine what the interrupt source
203 was if the kernel handler disables them by writing to the chip's IRQ
204 register. In such a case, the kernel has to disable the IRQ completely
205 to leave the chip's register untouched. Now the userspace part can
206 determine the cause of the interrupt, but it cannot re-enable
207 interrupts. Another cornercase is chips where re-enabling interrupts
208 is a read-modify-write operation to a combined IRQ status/acknowledge
209 register. This would be racy if a new interrupt occurred
210 simultaneously.

213 To address these problems, UIO also implements a write() function. It

1SH7760/SH7763 integrated LCDC Framebuffer driver
2================================================
3
40. Overwiew
5-----------
6The SH7760/SH7763 have an integrated LCD Display controller (LCDC) which
7supports (in theory) resolutions ranging from 1x1 to 1024x1024,
8with color depths ranging from 1 to 16 bits, on STN, DSTN and TFT Panels.
9
10Caveats:
11* Framebuffer memory must be a large chunk allocated at the top
12 of Area3 (HW requirement). Because of this requirement you should NOT
13 make the driver a module since at runtime it may become impossible to
14 get a large enough contiguous chunk of memory.
15
16* The driver does not support changing resolution while loaded
17 (displays aren't hotpluggable anyway)
18
19* Heavy flickering may be observed
20 a) if you're using 15/16bit color modes at >= 640x480 px resolutions,
21 b) during PCMCIA (or any other slow bus) activity.
22
23* Rotation works only 90degress clockwise, and only if horizontal
24 resolution is <= 320 pixels.

301. Platform setup
31-----------------
32SH7760:
33 Video data is fetched via the DMABRG DMA engine, so you have to
34 configure the SH DMAC for DMABRG mode (write 0x94808080 to the
35 DMARSRA register somewhere at boot).
36
37 PFC registers PCCR and PCDR must be set to peripheral mode.
38 (write zeros to both).
39
40The driver does NOT do the above for you since board setup is, well, job
41of the board setup code.
42
432. Panel definitions
44--------------------
45The LCDC must explicitly be told about the type of LCD panel
46attached. Data must be wrapped in a "struct sh7760fb_platdata" and
47passed to the driver as platform_data.
48
49Suggest you take a closer look at the SH7760 Manual, Section 30.
50(http://documentation.renesas.com/eng/products/mpumcu/e602291_sh7760.pdf)

53get the framebuffer working on a 640x480 TFT:

11All families are accelerated. Only PCI/AGP based cards are supported,
12none of the older Tridents.
13The driver supports 8, 16 and 32 bits per pixel depths.
14The TGUI family requires a line length to be power of 2 if acceleration
15is enabled. This means that range of possible resolutions and bpp is
16limited comparing to the range if acceleration is disabled (see list
17of parameters below).
18
19Known bugs:
201. The driver randomly locks up on 3DImage975 chip with acceleration
21 enabled. The same happens in X11 (Xorg).
222. The ramdac speeds require some more fine tuning. It is possible to
23 switch resolution which the chip does not support at some depths for
24 older chips.

1APM or ACPI?
2------------
3If you have a relatively recent x86 mobile, desktop, or server system,
4odds are it supports either Advanced Power Management (APM) or
5Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). ACPI is the newer
6of the two technologies and puts power management in the hands of the
7operating system, allowing for more intelligent power management than
8is possible with BIOS controlled APM.
9
10The best way to determine which, if either, your system supports is to
11build a kernel with both ACPI and APM enabled (as of 2.3.x ACPI is
12enabled by default). If a working ACPI implementation is found, the
13ACPI driver will override and disable APM, otherwise the APM driver
14will be used.
15
16No, sorry, you cannot have both ACPI and APM enabled and running at
17once. Some people with broken ACPI or broken APM implementations
18would like to use both to get a full set of working features, but you
19simply cannot mix and match the two. Only one power management
20interface can be in control of the machine at once. Think about it..
21
22User-space Daemons
23------------------
24Both APM and ACPI rely on user-space daemons, apmd and acpid
25respectively, to be completely functional. Obtain both of these
26daemons from your Linux distribution or from the Internet (see below)
27and be sure that they are started sometime in the system boot process.
28Go ahead and start both. If ACPI or APM is not available on your
29system the associated daemon will exit gracefully.

39Driver Interface -- OBSOLETE, DO NOT USE!
40----------------*************************
41
42Note: pm_register(), pm_access(), pm_dev_idle() and friends are
43obsolete. Please do not use them. Instead you should properly hook
44your driver into the driver model, and use its suspend()/resume()
45callbacks to do this kind of stuff.
46
47If you are writing a new driver or maintaining an old driver, it
48should include power management support. Without power management
49support, a single driver may prevent a system with power management
50capabilities from ever being able to suspend (safely).
51
52Overview:
531) Register each instance of a device with "pm_register"
542) Call "pm_access" before accessing the hardware.
55 (this will ensure that the hardware is awake and ready)
563) Your "pm_callback" is called before going into a
57 suspend state (ACPI D1-D3) or after resuming (ACPI D0)
58 from a suspend.
594) Call "pm_dev_idle" when the device is not being used
60 (optional but will improve device idle detection)
615) When unloaded, unregister the device with "pm_unregister"

126Driver Details
127--------------
128This is just a quick Q&A as a stopgap until a real driver writers'
129power management guide is available.
130
131Q: When is a device suspended?
132
133Devices can be suspended based on direct user request (eg. laptop lid
134closes), system power policy (eg. sleep after 30 minutes of console
135inactivity), or device power policy (eg. power down device after 5
136minutes of inactivity)
137
138Q: Must a driver honor a suspend request?
139
140No, a driver can return -EBUSY from a suspend request and this
141will stop the system from suspending. When a suspend request
142fails, all suspended devices are resumed and the system continues
143to run. Suspend can be retried at a later time.
144
145Q: Can the driver block suspend/resume requests?
146
147Yes, a driver can delay its return from a suspend or resume
148request until the device is ready to handle requests. It
149is advantageous to return as quickly as possible from a
150request as suspend/resume are done serially.
151
152Q: What context is a suspend/resume initiated from?
153
154A suspend or resume is initiated from a kernel thread context.
155It is safe to block, allocate memory, initiate requests
156or anything else you can do within the kernel.
157
158Q: Will requests continue to arrive after a suspend?
159
160Possibly. It is the driver's responsibility to queue(*),
161fail, or drop any requests that arrive after returning
162success to a suspend request. It is important that the
163driver not access its device until after it receives
164a resume request as the device's bus may no longer
165be active.
166
167(*) If a driver queues requests for processing after
168 resume be aware that the device, network, etc.
169 might be in a different state than at suspend time.
170 It's probably better to drop requests unless
171 the driver is a storage device.
172
173Q: Do I have to manage bus-specific power management registers
174
175No. It is the responsibility of the bus driver to manage
176PCI, USB, etc. power management registers. The bus driver
177or the power management subsystem will also enable any
178wake-on functionality that the device has.
179
180Q: So, really, what do I need to do to support suspend/resume?
181
182You need to save any device context that would
183be lost if the device was powered off and then restore
184it at resume time. When ACPI is active, there are
185three levels of device suspend states; D1, D2, and D3.
186(The suspend state is passed as the "data" argument
187to the device callback.) With D3, the device is powered
188off and loses all context, D1 and D2 are shallower power
189states and require less device context to be saved. To
190play it safe, just save everything at suspend and restore
191everything at resume.
192
193Q: Where do I store device context for suspend?
194
195Anywhere in memory, kmalloc a buffer or store it
196in the device descriptor. You are guaranteed that the
197contents of memory will be restored and accessible
198before resume, even when the system suspends to disk.
199
200Q: What do I need to do for ACPI vs. APM vs. etc?
201
202Drivers need not be aware of the specific power management
203technology that is active. They just need to be aware
204of when the overlying power management system requests
205that they suspend or resume.
206
207Q: What about device dependencies?

209When a driver registers a device, the power management
210subsystem uses the information provided to build a
211tree of device dependencies (eg. USB device X is on
212USB controller Y which is on PCI bus Z) When power
213management wants to suspend a device, it first sends
214a suspend request to its driver, then the bus driver,
215and so on up to the system bus. Device resumes
216proceed in the opposite direction.
217
218Q: Who do I contact for additional information about
219 enabling power management for my specific driver/device?

2542X - Specifying Device Power Management Information (sleep property)
2543===================================================================
2544
2545Devices on SOCs often have mechanisms for placing devices into low-power
2546states that are decoupled from the devices' own register blocks. Sometimes,
2547this information is more complicated than a cell-index property can
2548reasonably describe. Thus, each device controlled in such a manner
2549may contain a "sleep" property which describes these connections.
2550
2551The sleep property consists of one or more sleep resources, each of
2552which consists of a phandle to a sleep controller, followed by a
2553controller-specific sleep specifier of zero or more cells.
2554
2555The semantics of what type of low power modes are possible are defined
2556by the sleep controller. Some examples of the types of low power modes
2557that may be supported are:
2558
2559 - Dynamic: The device may be disabled or enabled at any time.
2560 - System Suspend: The device may request to be disabled or remain
2561 awake during system suspend, but will not be disabled until then.
2562 - Permanent: The device is disabled permanently (until the next hard
2563 reset).
2564
2565Some devices may share a clock domain with each other, such that they should
2566only be suspended when none of the devices are in use. Where reasonable,
2567such nodes should be placed on a virtual bus, where the bus has the sleep
2568property. If the clock domain is shared among devices that cannot be
2569reasonably grouped in this manner, then create a virtual sleep controller
2570(similar to an interrupt nexus, except that defining a standardized
2571sleep-map should wait until its necessity is demonstrated).
