On Cherry Trail devices there are 2 possible ACPI OpRegions for accessing GPIOs. The standard GeneralPurposeIo OpRegion and the Cherry Trail specific UserDefined 0x9X OpRegions.

Having 2 different types of OpRegions leads to potential issues with checks for OpRegion availability, or in other words checks if _REG has been called for the OpRegion which the ACPI code wants to use.

The ACPICA core does not call _REG on an ACPI node which does not define an OpRegion matching the type being registered; and the reference design DSDT, from which most Cherry Trail DSDTs are derived, does not define GeneralPurposeIo, nor UserDefined(0x93) OpRegions for the GPO2 (UID 3) device, because no pins were assigned ACPI controlled functions in the reference design.

Together this leads to the perfect storm, at least on the Cherry Trail based Medion Akayo E1239T. This design does use a GPO2 pin from its ACPI code and has added the Cherry Trail specific UserDefined(0x93) opregion to its GPO2 ACPI node to access this pin.

But it uses a has _REG been called availability check for the standard GeneralPurposeIo OpRegion. This clearly is a bug in the DSDT, but this does work under Windows. This issue leads to the intel_vbtn driver reporting the device always being in tablet-mode at boot, even if it is in laptop mode. Which in turn causes userspace to ignore touchpad events. So iow this issues causes the touchpad to not work at boot.

Since the bug in the DSDT stems from the confusion of having 2 different OpRegion types for accessing GPIOs on Cherry Trail devices, I believe that this is best fixed inside the Cherryview pinctrl driver.

This commit adds a workaround to the Cherryview pinctrl driver so that the DSDT's expectations of _REG always getting called for the GeneralPurposeIo OpRegion are met.

Windows has its own ACPI implementation, so it could also be that their equivalent of the:

status = acpi_install_address_space_handler(handle, ACPI_ADR_SPACE_GPIO, acpi_gpio_adr_space_handler, NULL, achip);

Call from drivers/gpio/gpiolib-acpi.c indeed always calls _REG on the handle without checking that there is an actual OpRegion with a space-id of ACPI_ADR_SPACE_GPIO defined, as the ACPICA code does. Note that the current ACPICA code would require significant rework to allow this, or it would need to add a _REG call at the end of acpi_install_address_space_handler(), potentially calling _REG twice in many cases.

We could move the manual _REG call I'm adding to pinctrl-cherry-view.c but that has the same issue of calling _REG twice in many cases.

Most (all?) _REG implementations are fine with that, as they just set a variable to 1 (to the Arg1 value). Still calling _REG twice is something which we might want to avoid.

As a compromise I've chosen to add the extra unconditional _REG call to pinctrl-cherryview.c because:

1. The problem in the DSDT in question stems from there being 2 different OpRegions for accessing GPIOs which AFAIK is unique to cherryview

2. I've seen many many cherryview DSDT-s and as such I'm confident that calling _REG twice is not an issue on cherryview.

Here you go: https://fedorapeople.org/~jwrdegoede/medion-e1239t-dsdt.dsl

The problem is that on line 12624 there is a GPO2.AVBL == One check, before GPO2.DCDT is used. If you then look at line 17688 you see that _REG for the GPO2 device checkes for a space-id of 8 (ACPI_ADR_SPACE_GPIO) to set AVBL

But the only OpRegion defined for the GPO2 device, and the OpRegion to which GPO2.DCDT is mapped is the cherryview UserDefined 0x93 GPIO access OpRegion, see line 17760. Since there is no OpRegion for the ACPI_ADR_SPACE_GPIO space-id, ACPICA never calls _REG with Arg0 == 8.

So as already mentioned the problem stems from the confusion of there being 2 different OpRegions for accessing GPIOs on cherryview.

I actually think this is the correct solution. Reading ACPI spec it say this:

Once _REG has been executed for a particular operation region, indicating that the operation region handler is ready, a control method can access fields in the operation region

You can interpret it so that _REG gets called when operation region handler is ready. It does not say that there needs to be an actual operation region even though the examples following all have operation region.

I wonder what our ACPICA gurus think about this? Rafael, Bob, Erik?

We could move the manual _REG call I'm adding to pinctrl-cherry-view.c but that has the same issue of calling _REG twice in many cases.

Most (all?) _REG implementations are fine with that, as they just set a variable to 1 (to the Arg1 value). Still calling _REG twice is something which we might want to avoid.

As a compromise I've chosen to add the extra unconditional _REG call to pinctrl-cherryview.c because:

The problem in the DSDT in question stems from there being 2

different OpRegions for accessing GPIOs which AFAIK is unique to cherryview

I've seen many many cherryview DSDT-s and as such I'm confident

that calling _REG twice is not an issue on cherryview.

Are the ACPI tables from this system available somewhere?

Here you go: https://fedorapeople.org/~jwrdegoede/medion-e1239t-dsdt.dsl

Thanks for sharing!

...
The problem is that on line 12624 there is a GPO2.AVBL == One check, before GPO2.DCDT is used. If you then look at line 17688 you see that _REG for the GPO2 device checkes for a space-id of 8 (ACPI_ADR_SPACE_GPIO) to set AVBL

But the only OpRegion defined for the GPO2 device, and the OpRegion to which GPO2.DCDT is mapped is the cherryview UserDefined 0x93 GPIO access OpRegion, see line 17760. Since there is no OpRegion for the ACPI_ADR_SPACE_GPIO space-id, ACPICA never calls _REG with Arg0 == 8.

Indeed, I see the issue now. I guess calling _REG always when there is handler installed would solve this as well?

Yes that should solve the issue, that is actualy more or less what my patch does, but my patch only does it for the pinctrl-cherryview.c case.

And ACPICA guys, in case of thinking about generic solution there, can also have a look into ACPI hotplug code. Something tells me that there may be the very same root cause.

I realize that this thread has gone a bit stale (sorry about that) but I have been working on an ACPICA solution on that, and this works nicely. It turns out that ACPICA already had code to run the _REG method unconditionally in some cases, so I've simply extended that to also apply to GpioOpRegions.

One thing which is open for discussion is if we want to extend this to more then just GpioOpRegions. For now I've chosen to just extend the current special handling for EC OpRegions to also apply to GpioOpRegions which fixes the issue at hand.

I've attached a patch directly against the Linux kernel acpica copy which fixes this.

Mika (or anyone else reading along who wants to help), I know that ACPICA patches go upstream through the ACPICA repo, but I'm not really familiar with there workflow and I'm a bit swamped with work atm. So I was wondering if you could perhaps convert this patch to an upstream ACPICA patch and submit it there for me ?

From: Hans de Goede hdegoede@redhat.com Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2020 22:22:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: Also handle "orphan" _REG methods for GPIO OpRegions

Before this commit acpi_ev_execute_reg_methods() had special handling to handle "orphan" (no matching OpRegion declared) _REG methods for EC nodes.

On Intel Cherry Trail devices there are 2 possible ACPI OpRegions for accessing GPIOs. The standard GeneralPurposeIo OpRegion and the Cherry Trail specific UserDefined 0x9X OpRegions.

Having 2 different types of OpRegions leads to potential issues with checks for OpRegion availability, or in other words checks if _REG has been called for the OpRegion which the ACPI code wants to use.

Except for the "orphan" EC handling, ACPICA core does not call _REG on an ACPI node which does not define an OpRegion matching the type being registered; and the reference design DSDT, from which most Cherry Trail DSDTs are derived, does not define GeneralPurposeIo, nor UserDefined(0x93) OpRegions for the GPO2 (UID 3) device, because no pins were assigned ACPI controlled functions in the reference design.

Together this leads to the perfect storm, at least on the Cherry Trail based Medion Akayo E1239T. This design does use a GPO2 pin from its ACPI code and has added the Cherry Trail specific UserDefined(0x93) opregion to its GPO2 ACPI node to access this pin.

But it uses a has _REG been called availability check for the standard GeneralPurposeIo OpRegion. This clearly is a bug in the DSDT, but this does work under Windows. This issue leads to the intel_vbtn driver reporting the device always being in tablet-mode at boot, even if it is in laptop mode. Which in turn causes userspace to ignore touchpad events. So iow this issues causes the touchpad to not work at boot.

This commit fixes this by extending the "orphan" _REG method handling to also apply to GPIO address-space handlers.

Note it seems that Windows always calls "orphan" _REG methods so me may want to consider dropping the space-id check and always do "orphan" _REG method handling.

         detected by providing a _REG method object underneath the

         To quickly access the EC device, we use the ec_device_node used

Mika, do you have input wrt always calling _REG for just the GpioIoOpRegion type (on top of the existing EC exception) vs just simply always calling it for all all/more OpRegion types ?

DESCRIPTION: Execute an "orphan" _REG method that appears under the EC
DESCRIPTION: Execute an "orphan" _REG method that appears under an ACPI
         device. This is a _REG method that has no corresponding region
         within the EC device scope. The orphan _REG method appears to
         have been enabled by the description of the ECDT in the ACPI
         specification: "The availability of the region space can be
         detected by providing a _REG method object underneath the
         Embedded Controller device."
         To quickly access the EC device, we use the ec_device_node used
         during EC handler installation. Otherwise, we would need to
         perform a time consuming namespace walk, executing _HID
         methods to find the EC device.
         within the device's scope. ACPI tables depending on these
         "orphan" _REG methods have been seen for both EC and GPIO
         Operation Regions. Presumably the Windows ACPI implementation
         always calls the _REG method independent of the presence of
         an actual Operation Region with the correct address space ID.

Mika, do you have input wrt always calling _REG for just the GpioIoOpRegion type (on top of the existing EC exception) vs just simply always calling it for all all/more OpRegion types ?

IMO it is safer to call it only for GPIO (GpioIoOpRegion) now.

That was my thought too, and is what my current patch does. Thank you for your input on this.
