watchdog: sp5100_tco: Add SB8x0 chipset support
The current sp5100_tco driver only supports SP5100/SB7x0 chipset, doesn't support SB8x0 chipset, because current sp5100_tco driver doesn't know that the offset address for watchdog timer was changed from SB8x0 chipset. The offset address of SP5100 and SB7x0 chipsets are as follows, quote from the AMD SB700/710/750 Register Reference Guide (Page 164) and the AMD SP5100 Register Reference Guide (Page 166). WatchDogTimerControl 69h WatchDogTimerBase0 6Ch WatchDogTimerBase1 6Dh WatchDogTimerBase2 6Eh WatchDogTimerBase3 6Fh In contrast, the offset address of SB8x0 chipset is as follows, quote from AMD SB800-Series Southbridges Register Reference Guide (Page 147). WatchDogTimerEn 48h WatchDogTimerConfig 4Ch So, In the case of SB8x0 chipset, sp5100_tco reads meaningless MMIO address (for example, 0xbafe00) from wrong offset address, and the following message is logged. SP5100 TCO timer: mmio address 0xbafe00 already in use With this patch, sp5100_tco driver supports SB8x0 chipset, and can avoid iomem resource conflict. The processing of this patch is as follows. Step 1) Attempt to get the watchdog base address from indirect I/O (0xCD6 and 0xCD7). - Go to the step 7 if obtained address hasn't conflicted with other resource. But, currently, the address (0xfec000f0) conflicts with the IOAPIC MMIO address, and the following message is logged. SP5100 TCO timer: mmio address 0xfec000f0 already in use 0xfec000f0 is recommended by AMD BIOS Developer's Guide. So, go to the next step. Step 2) Attempt to get the SBResource_MMIO base address from AcpiMmioEN (for SB8x0, PM_Reg:24h) or SBResource_MMIO (SP5100/SB7x0, PCI_Reg:9Ch) register. - Go to the step 7 if these register has enabled by BIOS, and obtained address hasn't conflicted with other resource. - If above condition isn't true, go to the next step. Step 3) Attempt to get the free MMIO address from allocate_resource(). - Go to the step 7 if these register has enabled by BIOS, and obtained address hasn't conflicted with other resource. - Driver initialization has failed if obtained address has conflicted with other resource, and no 'force_addr' parameter is specified. Step 4) Use the specified address If 'force_addr' parameter is specified. - allocate_resource() function may fail, when the PCI bridge device occupies iomem resource from 0xf0000000 to 0xffffffff. To handle such a case, I added 'force_addr' parameter to sp5100_tco driver. With 'force_addr' parameter, sp5100_tco driver directly can assign MMIO address for watchdog timer from free iomem region. Note that It's dangerous to specify wrong address in the 'force_addr' parameter. Example of force_addr parameter use # cat /proc/iomem ...snip... fec00000-fec003ff : IOAPIC 0 <--- free MMIO region fec10000-fec1001f : pnp 00:0b fec20000-fec203ff : IOAPIC 1 ...snip... # cat /etc/modprobe.d/sp5100_tco.conf options sp5100_tco force_addr=0xfec00800 # modprobe sp5100_tco # cat /proc/iomem ...snip... fec00000-fec003ff : IOAPIC 0 fec00800-fec00807 : SP5100 TCO <--- watchdog timer MMIO address fec10000-fec1001f : pnp 00:0b fec20000-fec203ff : IOAPIC 1 ...snip... # - Driver initialization has failed if specified address has conflicted with other resource. Step 5) Disable the watchdog timer - To rewrite the watchdog timer register of the chipset, absolutely guarantee that the watchdog timer is disabled. Step 6) Re-program the watchdog timer MMIO address to chipset. - Re-program the obtained MMIO address in Step 3 or Step 4 to chipset via indirect I/O (0xCD6 and 0xCD7). Step 7) Enable and setup the watchdog timer This patch has worked fine on my test environment (ASUS M4A89GTD-PRO/USB3 and DL165G7). therefore I believe that it's no problem to re-program the MMIO address for watchdog timer to chipset during disabled watchdog. However, I'm not sure about it, because I don't know much about chipset programming. So, any comments will be welcome.
