[PATCH 00/13] staging: greybus: cleanup, FIXME removals, and driver correctness fixes

by Ayaan Mirza Baig

Hi Greg and all, This series performs a set of cleanups, correctness fixes, and remaining TODO removals across the Greybus drivers in drivers/staging/greybus. Greybus has existed in staging for a long time, and many FIXMEs, outdated comments, and partial implementations had accumulated over the years. While reviewing and compile-testing the drivers I found a number of places where the comments were obsolete, logic was incomplete, or newer subsystem APIs had evolved. This series addresses those issues without changing any fundamental design or architecture. All changes are self-contained, straightforward, and focues on improving correctness and maintainability. The patches include: * Removal of obsolete FIXMEs that no longer reflect the current code or hardware behavior. * Correctness fixes in several protocol drivers (UART, RAW, USB, Loopback, Firmware core, Audio). * Small improvements to error handling and shutdown paths. * Cleanup of commented-out or dead code. * Removal of the now-completed GPIO and PWM TODO items. * Removal of the empty Greybus TODO file. All patches were compile-tested with COMPILE_TEST=y and all Greybus options enabled. Runtime smoke testing was performed where possible. This series does not attempt to graduate Greybus out of staging; these changes are preparatory cleanups only. Thanks for your time and review.

[PATCH] staging: greybus: replace strncpy() with strlcpy() in firmware test tool

by Dharanitharan R

The sample userspace firmware-management tool uses strncpy() to copy firmware tags. strncpy() does not guarantee null-termination and can leave buffers unterminated. For userspace code, strlcpy() is the recommended safe alternative. Replace all strncpy() calls with strlcpy().

[PATCH] staging: greybus: uart: check return values during probe

by Nirbhay Sharma

Check the return values of send_control() and send_line_coding() during device initialization in gb_uart_probe(). If these operations fail, the device will be left in an inconsistent state, so propagate the error to properly fail the probe. Both functions call gb_operation_sync() which can fail with errors such as -ENOMEM, -ENODEV, or -ETIMEDOUT. Ignoring these errors means the TTY device would be registered despite incomplete initialization.

[RFC PATCH v2 00/12] greybus: introduce CPC as transport layer

by Damien Riégel

Hi, This patchset brings support for Silicon Labs' CPC (Co-Processor Communication) protocol as transport layer for Greybus. This is introduced as a module that sits between Greybus and CPC Host Device Driver implementations, like SDIO or SPI, which are not part of this RFC. If there's no push back with this RFC, the final patchset ready for upstream will include the SDIO driver. The goal of this module is to implement some of the features of Unipro that Greybus relies upon, like reliable transmission. CPC takes care of detecting transmission errors and retransmit frames if necessary. That feature is not part of the RFC to keep it concise, but it's planned for a future patchset. There's also a flow-control feature, to prevent from sending messages to cports that don't have anymore room. In order to implement these features, a 4-byte header is prepended to Greybus messages, making the whole header 12 bytes (Greybus header itself being 8 bytes). This RFC starts by implementing a shim layer that sits between physical bus drivers (like SDIO and SPI) and Greybus, and progressively add more elements to it to make it useful in its own right. +----------------------------------------------------+ | Greybus | +----------------------------------------------------+ /|\ | \|/ +----------------------------------------------------+ | CPC | +----------------------------------------------------+ /|\ /|\ /|\ | | | \|/ \|/ \|/ +----------+ +---------+ +-----------+ | SDIO | | SPI | | Others | +----------+ +---------+ +-----------+ Changes in v2: - v1 included a new protocol for Bluetooth HCI, this has been dropped to focus on CPC itself - likewise, there was an SPI driver, it has been dropped of this RFC for the same reason - v1 introduced CPC in a big commit, this time it's been split in smaller commits to make review manageable Damien Riégel (12): greybus: cpc: add minimal CPC Host Device infrastructure greybus: cpc: introduce CPC cport structure greybus: cpc: use socket buffers instead of gb_message in TX path greybus: cpc: pack cport ID in Greybus header greybus: cpc: switch RX path to socket buffers greybus: cpc: introduce CPC header structure greybus: cpc: account for CPC header size in RX and TX path greybus: cpc: add and validate sequence numbers greybus: cpc: acknowledge all incoming messages greybus: cpc: use holding queue instead of sending out immediately greybus: cpc: honour remote's RX window greybus: cpc: let host device drivers dequeue TX frames MAINTAINERS | 6 + drivers/greybus/Kconfig | 2 + drivers/greybus/Makefile | 2 + drivers/greybus/cpc/Kconfig | 10 ++ drivers/greybus/cpc/Makefile | 6 + drivers/greybus/cpc/cpc.h | 76 +++++++++ drivers/greybus/cpc/cport.c | 107 ++++++++++++ drivers/greybus/cpc/header.c | 146 +++++++++++++++++ drivers/greybus/cpc/header.h | 54 +++++++ drivers/greybus/cpc/host.c | 287 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/greybus/cpc/host.h | 58 +++++++ drivers/greybus/cpc/protocol.c | 169 +++++++++++++++++++ 12 files changed, 923 insertions(+) create mode 100644 drivers/greybus/cpc/Kconfig create mode 100644 drivers/greybus/cpc/Makefile create mode 100644 drivers/greybus/cpc/cpc.h create mode 100644 drivers/greybus/cpc/cport.c create mode 100644 drivers/greybus/cpc/header.c create mode 100644 drivers/greybus/cpc/header.h create mode 100644 drivers/greybus/cpc/host.c create mode 100644 drivers/greybus/cpc/host.h create mode 100644 drivers/greybus/cpc/protocol.c -- 2.49.0
