Slimbus devices use value-element, and information elements to
control device parameters (e.g. value element is used to represent
gain for codec, information element is used to represent interrupt
status for codec when codec interrupt fires).
Messaging APIs are used to set/get these value and information
elements. Slimbus specification uses 8-bit "transaction IDs" for
messages where a read-value is anticipated. Framework uses a table
of pointers to store those TIDs and responds back to the caller in
O(1).
Caller can opt to do synchronous, or asynchronous reads/writes. For
asynchronous operations, the callback will be called from atomic
context.
TX and RX circular rings are used to allow queuing of multiple
transfers per controller. Controller can choose size of these rings
based of controller HW implementation. The buffers are coerently
mapped so that controller can utilize DMA operations for the
transactions without remapping every transaction buffer.
Statically allocated rings help to improve performance by avoiding
overhead of dynamically allocating transactions on need basis.

Shouldn't this be (cur | (1 << 3)?

cur seems to be redundant TBH, the only difference between cur and sl is 
that the slim_slicesize() can give slice size to program for any lengths 
between 1-16 bytes. However the slim_slicecodefromsize() can only 
handle 1,2,3,4, 6,8,12,16 byte sizes.

So we can delete slim_slicecodefromsize() call and function together.
looks like it was a leftover from downstream.

> (Also, what does cur mean? Cursor? Current?)

No Idea!! :-) it is supposed to return slice size as per number of bytes.

What is the intent of this if statement here? We set async
locally so this code only runs if we executed the else on the if
statement at the top. If its just clearing anything the user
might have put in these fields why not do it up there.

You could put this check into slim_xfer_msg and save duplicating
it. Would also then cover cases that call that function directly,
also would let you make these functions either inlines or macros.

I find the combination of get/return a bit odd, would get/put
maybe more idiomatic? Also the return could use some kernel doc.

The rx calls seem ok that is basically the controller's job to
call those, but with these two calls it seems sometimes the
framework calls them sometimes the controller driver has to. Is
there anyway we can simplify that a bit? Or at least include some
documentation as to when the controller should call them.

If the LA isn't used in broadcast messages wouldn't it be simpler
to set it to a fixed value in this macro?

Also one final overall comment this commit contains a lot of two
and three letter abreviations that are not always clear. I would
probably suggest expanding a few of the less standard ones out to
make the code a little easier to follow.

locks galore :) My assumption is that you want to optimize these? But given
that audio user is going to be serialized do we practically need two locks?

that is interesting, I was expecting this to be internal API. So users are
expected to use this which is not very convenient IMO. Can we hide the gory
details and give users simple tx/rx or read/write APIs. FWIW most of the
usage would be thru regmap where people would call regmap_read/write()

so that is a read modify write, correct? Is that implemented in HW, if so we
need to provide only write value

Even if tid and len comes from the spec I recommend you making them int

When is it valid to add a transaction to tid_tbl with msg->rbuf = NULL?

From patch 1 I believe it's invalid for sb->ctrl to be NULL, so there

Is this ringbuffer mechanism defined in the slimbus specification? Looks
like something specific to the Qualcomm controller, rather than
something that should be enforced in the framework.

This is out list of pending write requests, yet it's implemented as an

I suggest that you replace these two with an idr, rather than having a
fixed size array and then last_tid as an optimization to limit how far
you linear search for an empty space.

Please don't use semaphores. If you keep pending_wr as a list you can
