      mfd: input: iio: ti_amm335x: Rework TSC/ADC synchronization · 7ca6740c
      Sebastian Andrzej Siewior authored 
      The ADC driver always programs all possible ADC values and discards
them except for the value IIO asked for. On the am335x-evm the driver
programs four values and it takes 500us to gather them. Reducing the number
of conversations down to the (required) one also reduces the busy loop down
to 125us.

This leads to another error, namely the FIFOCOUNT register is sometimes
(like one out of 10 attempts) not updated in time leading to EBUSY.
The next read has the FIFOCOUNT register updated.
Checking for the ADCSTAT register for being idle isn't a good choice either.
The problem is that if TSC is used at the same time, the HW completes the
conversation for ADC *and* before the driver noticed it, the HW begins to
perform a TSC conversation and so the driver never seen the HW idle. The
next time we would have two values in the FIFO but since the driver reads
everything we always see the current one.
So instead of polling for the IDLE bit in ADCStatus register, we should
check the FIFOCOUNT register. It should be one instead of zero because we
request one value.

This change in turn leads to another error. Sometimes if TSC & ADC are
used together the TSC starts generating interrupts even if nobody
actually touched the touchscreen. The interrupts seem valid because TSC's
FIFO is filled with values for each channel of the TSC. This condition stops
after a few ADC reads but will occur again. Not good.

On top of this (even without the changes I just mentioned) there is a ADC
& TSC lockup condition which was reported to me by Jeff Lance including the
following test case:
A busy loop of "cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0/in_voltage4_raw"
and a mug on touch screen. With this setup, the hardware will lockup after
something between 20 minutes and it could take up to a couple of hours.
During that lockup, the ADCSTAT register says 0x30 (or 0x70) which means
STEP_ID = IDLE and FSM_BUSY = yes. That means the hardware says that it is
idle and busy at the same time which is an invalid condition.

For all this reasons I decided to rework this TSC/ADC part and add a
handshake / synchronization here:
First the ADC signals that it needs the HW and writes a 0 mask into the
SE register. The HW (if active) will complete the current conversation
and become idle. The TSC driver will gather the values from the FIFO
(woken up by an interrupt) and won't "enable" another conversation.
Instead it will wake up the ADC driver which is already waiting. The ADC
driver will start "its" conversation and once it is done, it will
enable the TSC steps so the TSC will work again.

After this rework I haven't observed the lockup so far. Plus the busy
loop has been reduced from 500us to 125us.

The continues-read mode remains unchanged.

      mfd: ti_am335x: Drop am335x_tsc_se_update() from resume path · 3954b7bf
      Sebastian Andrzej Siewior authored 
      The update of the SE register in MFD doesn't look right as it has
nothing to do with it. The better place to do it is in TSC driver (which
is already doing it) and in the ADC driver which needs this only in the
continues mode.

      mfd: ti_am335x_tscadc: Don't read back REG_SE · 7e170c6e
      Sebastian Andrzej Siewior authored 
      The purpose of reg_se_cache has been defeated. It should avoid the
read-back of the register to avoid the latency and the fact that the
bits are reset to 0 after the individual conversation took place.

The reason why this is required like this to work, is that read-back of
the register removes the bits of the ADC so they do not start another
conversation after the register is re-written from the TSC side for the
update.
To avoid the not required read-back I introduce a "set once" variant which
does not update the cache mask. After the conversation completes, the
bit is removed from the SE register anyway and we don't plan a new
conversation "any time soon". The current set function is renamed to
set_cache to distinguish the two operations.
This is a small preparation for a larger sync-rework.

      Sebastian Andrzej Siewior authored 
      Since the "recent" changes, am335x_tsc_se_update() has no longer any
users outside of this file so make it local.

      iio: ti_am335x_adc: Adjust the closing bracket in tiadc_read_raw() · fb7f8ce3
      Sebastian Andrzej Siewior authored 
      It somehow looks like the ending bracket belongs to the if statement but
it does belong to the while loop. This patch moves the bracket where it
belongs.
