The Rockchip RK3399 DWC3 node has 'power-domain' property which isn't
allowed by the schema:

usb@fe900000: Unevaluated properties are not allowed ('power-domains' was unexpected)

Allow DWC3 nodes to have a single power-domains entry. We could instead
move the power-domains property to the parent wrapper node, but the
could be an ABI break (Linux shouldn't care). Also, we don't want to
encourage the pattern of wrapper nodes just to define resources such as
clocks, resets, power-domains, etc. when not necessary.

Why discouraged? Splitting those two separate devices (yes, they are
separate physical modules) has greatly simplified e.g. power management
and encapsulation of the core module.

When we have a user with more and know what each one is, then we can
extend it. All the other users (upstream), put 'power-domains' in the
wrapper node. But this is what we need now for RK3399.

I used get_maintainers.pl. If that's the wrong output, fix it please.

Won't that be an ABI break at that point? You'll change the maximum
number of power-domains.

@Thinh, perhaps you should add dwc3 binding file to the list of
maintained files for you?

Right, then the argument is that all other blocks are not modelling the
HW as they should :)

There's always wrapper-specific registers. Some wrappers even add custom
functionality. IIRC Qcom added a HW-based URB "scheduler" or some sort.

No, it's not. But it could just be the first example of the driver
actually modelling the underlying HW.

In any case, I was just curious with your opinion that this model is
discouraged, as it's not stated anywhere in the kernel's documentation.

Happy holidays

Usually extending properties (in flexible way) is not an ABI break. What
would be broken here if it becomes three at some point? Does Linux or
other SW depends now on this being equal to 1?

Felipe is correct. We have 2 power-domains: Core domain and PMU.

Sure, if makes sense to do so. If there's no objection, I can also
maintain/review it.

I can create a patch after coming back from my break in 2 weeks.
Since I'm on a break at the moment, my response may be delayed.

Thanks,

Power management unit? Performance management unit?

That doesn't change that the rk3399 is 1 and we're stuck with it. So I
can say 1 or 2 domains, or we add the 2nd domain when someone needs
it.

Again, none of this matters. I'm documenting what is already in use
and an ABI, not what is correct. The time for correctness was when
this binding was added.

To move forward, how about something like this:

power-domains:
  description: Really there are 2 PDs, but some implementations
defined a single PD.
  minItems: 1
  items:
    - description: core
    - description: PMU

We unfortunately can't constrain this to Rockchip in the schema
because that specific information is in the parent node.

(kind of crappy descriptions too, but that's the amount of information I have.)

By testing the schema against the in tree .dts files. To date, no one
other than Rockchip has power-domains in the DWC3 node.

Just for some additional context/use case, the power to the PMU (power
management unit) must always be on. If the device supports hibernation,
in hibernation, the power supply to the core can be turned off.

That's unfortunate. That makes this very difficult to maintain if we
can't rectify a mistake.

Can we omit mentioning min or maxItems? While it may not be desired,
it's not a hard requirement right? This can help avoid some confusion
with devicetree documentation and dwc3 databook.

Things in an always-on PD may or may not be described in
'power-domains', so from a DT perspective I would say 1 domain is
perfectly valid here.

I suppose the PMU could be in a PD which can be gated off, but any
hibernation features would be lost.

Shrug. What's unfortunate is only a limited number of people can
review bindings to be correct in this aspect. And I'm not one of them.

We deal with this all the time already. It's just amplified when it is
shared IP. Would I like less variation? Yes, but it's not a
showstopper.

Why? Don't you want to catch someone defining 3 domains?
