Running kernel with ACPI on Lenovo Flex 5G laptop, touchpad is just
not working.  That's because the GpioInt number of TSC2 node in ACPI
table is simply wrong, and the number even exceeds the maximum GPIO
lines.  As the touchpad works fine with Windows on the same machine,
presumably this is something Windows-ism.  Although it's obviously
a specification violation, believe of that Microsoft will fix this in
the near future is not really realistic.

It adds the support of overriding broken GPIO number in ACPI table
on particular machines, which are matched using DMI info.  Such
mechanism for fixing up broken firmware and ACPI table is not uncommon
in kernel.  And hopefully it can be useful for other machines that get
broken GPIO number coded in ACPI table.

Thanks for the report and patch.

First of all, have you reported the issue to Lenovo? At least they
will know that they did wrong.
Second, is it possible to have somewhere output of `acpidump -o
flex5g.dat` (the flex5g.dat file)?

And as Mika said once to one of mine patches "since you know the
number ahead there is no need to pollute GPIO ACPI library core with
this quirk". But in any case I would like to see the ACPI tables
first.

Similar, but might be not the same:

Looking into DSDT I think the problem is much worse. First of all there are
many cases where pins like 0x140, 0x1c0, etc are being used. On top of that
there is no GPIO driver in the upstream (as far as I can see by HID, perhaps
there is a driver but for different HID. And I see that GPIO device consumes a
lot of Interrupts from GIC as well (it's ARM platfrom as far as I understand).

Looking at the Microsoft brain damaged way of understanding GPIOs and hardware
[1], I am afraid you really want to have a specific GPIO driver for this. So,
for now until we have better picture of what's going on, NAK to this patch.

[1]: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/bringup/general-purpose-i-o--gpio-

  "...All banks have the same number of pins, except for the last bank, which
   might have fewer."

They added completely unnecessary mapping layer and brought a lot of confusion
to everybody (developers, users, etc).

Yes, it's a laptop built on Qualcomm Snapdragon SC8180X SoC.  The GPIO
driver is generic for all Snapdragon SoCs, and has been available in
upstream for many years (for DT though). It can be found as the gpio_chip
implementation in MSM pinctrl driver [1].  The SC8180X specific part can
be found as pinctrl-sc8180x.c [2], and it's already working for DT boot.
The only missing piece is to add "QCOM040D" as the acpi_device_id to
support ACPI boot, and it will be submitted after 5.12-rc1 comes out.

Thanks for the pointer to Microsoft document.  On Snapdragon, we have
only one GPIO instance that accommodates all GPIO pins, so I'm not sure
that Microsoft GPIOs mapping layer is relevant here at all.

Please take a look at the GPIO driver, and feel free to let me know if
you need any further information to understand what's going on.

Thanks for all the pointers.  It looks to me that it's the same problem
- the GPIO number in ACPI table is broken and needs an override from
kernel.  So I think what we need is a generic solution to a problem
not uncommon.  Rather than asking all different drivers to resolve the
same problem all over the kernel, I believe GPIO ACPI library is just
the right place.

Looking at your platform and problem, I realise that to be a generic
solution, my patch needs an additional device identification matching,
as one GPIO number that is broken for one device could be correct for
another.  I will improve it, so that your problem can be resolved by
simply adding a new entry to acpi_gpio_pin_override_table[].

Yes, I looked into the driver and see that it has 3 blocks of GPIOs (we call
them communities, but in the driver the term 'tiles' is used) AFAIU (correct me
if I'm wrong). And who knows how many banks in each of them.

I'm afraid that MS does on his way and not yours.

Can we have TRM for GPIO IP used there and any evidence / document from
firmware team about the implementation of the GPIO numbering in the ACPI
(at Intel we have so called BIOS Writers Guide that is given to the customers
where such info can be found)?

Not exactly. On Galileo Gen 2 platform it's broken in understandable way.
In your case it's different and I'm not sure at all that's considered "broken"
in the MS' eyes.

Before any steps further I really want to see more information about that IP
and how firmware applied the numbering scheme.

If it's confidential, you may sent any insights privately.

I'm not sure that the 3 'tiles' means 3 blocks of GPIOs.  Maybe, @Bjorn
can help clarify.  But the ACPI table shows that there is only 'GIO0'
with 'QCOM040D' HID.

Unfortunately, I do not have the access to any sort of these documents.
But I looped in Jeffrey who is part of Qualcomm kernel/firmware team,
and should be able to help clarify GPIO numbering in the ACPI table.

Deduced by those working GPIO numbers in ACPI table and how Linux kernel
is working, I think the GPIO is numbered without any bank thing.  All
available pins are just numbered linearly, and every pin can be
configured in GPIO mode.

Unfortunately, all those documents are confidential to me as well.

Yes, but as far as I understand we have already this firmware in the

Can you be absolutely sure? If you have banks (MS core code since the
laptop runs Windows uses what is described on their site for GPIOs)
linear and then you test pins at the beginning of the region, you
won't have issues, you need to find a pin in each tile wishfully at
the end of it and test.

Better and easier way of course to ask MS to provide an insight on this.

Okay, since we have no solid proof of what's going on there, I prefer
for now not to touch GPIO ACPI core and do this quirk in the driver
(using standard methods: DMI strings / ACPI IDs / etc).

Otherwise I'm not convinced that we need a global quirk for that and
it might be needed in the future.

Sorry, just joining the thread now.  Hopefully I'm addressing everything 
targeted at me.

I used to do kernel work on MSMs, then kernel work on server CPUs, but 
now I do kernel work on AI accelerators.  Never was on the firmware 
team, but I have a lot of contacts in those areas.  On my own time, I 
support Linux on the Qualcomm laptops.

Its not MS that needs to fix things (although there is plenty of things 
I could point to that MS could fix), its the Qualcomm Windows FW folks. 
  They have told me a while ago they were planning on fixing this issue 
on some future chipset, but apparently that hasn't happened yet.  Sadly, 
once these laptops ship, they are in a frozen maintenance mode.

In my opinion, MS has allowed Qualcomm to get away with doing bad things 
in ACPI on the Qualcomm laptops.  The ACPI is not a true hardware 
description that is OS agnostic as it should be, and probably violates 
the spec in many ways.  Instead, the ACPI is written against the Windows 
drivers, and has a lot of OS driver crap pushed into it.

The GPIO description is one such thing.

As I understand it, any particular SoC will have a number of GPIOs 
supported by the TLMM.  0 - N.  Linux understands this.  However, in the 
ACPI of the Qualcomm Windows laptops, you will likely find atleast one 
GPIO number which exceeds this N.  These are "virtual" GPIOs, and are a 
construct of the Windows Qualcomm TLMM driver and how it interfaces with 
the frameworks within Windows.

Some GPIO lines can be configured as wakeup sources by routing them to a 
specific hardware block in the SoC (which block it is varies from SoC to 
SoC).  Windows has a specific weird way of handling this which requires 
a unique "GPIO chip" to handle.  GPIO chips in Windows contain 32 GPIOs, 
so for each wakeup GPIO, the TLMM driver creates a GPIO chip 
(essentially creating 32 GPIOs), and assigns the added GPIOs numbers 
which exceed N.  The TLMM driver has an internal mapping of which 
virtual GPIO number corresponds to which real GPIO.

So, ACPI says that some peripheral has GPIO N+X, which is not a real 
GPIO.  That peripheral goes and requests that GPIO, which gets routed to 
the TLMM driver, and the TLMM driver translates that number to the real 
GPIO, and provides the reference back to the peripheral, while also 
setting up the special wakeup hardware.

So, N+1 is the first supported wakup GPIO, N+1+32 is the next one, then 
N+1+32+32, and so on.

I see how this creates a nice mess for running Linux on these laptops, 
but I don't have a good idea how to work around it.  Per SoC, you'd need 
to know the mapping and translate it for ACPI when running the Windows 
version of the FW (yes most Qualcomm MSMs have OS specific firmware), 
but reject such gpio numbers when running other firmware, or I guess on

You meant "ACPI" -> "DSDT on the certain platform" I hope.

Thank, this makes a lot of sense to me and (unfortunately) I'm familiar with
this concept on some of x86 cheap tablets.

Since the mapping of those wake IRQs is totally platform specific, it needs a
platform driver. On above mentioned x86 platforms we have a one you may take as
an example (good or bad it's another story):
drivers/platform/x86/intel_int0002_vgpio.c.

I think you will need something like this somewhere in ARM platform
infrastructure in the Linux kernel.

That said, I don't see that those numbers are "broken", they have their own
meaning and specific mapping to the real GPIOs and it's so platform specific,
that we can't treat it as a quirk.

Thanks, Jeffrey, it is helpful!

Well, you have the Virtual GPIO controller defined in ACPI as device
"INT0002", but we do not have such a thing.  I'm not sure it makes much
sense to create a baseless driver.

Those numbers have their own meaning only for Windows.  It's OS specific
rather than platform specific.  Snapdragon platform manual has explicit
numbering of every single GPIO pin.  Those broken numbers in ACPI table
violate the hardware specification and are *broken* to Linux which
implements GPIO driver properly.

It has similarities and differences. In your case you need to have somewhere
some piece of the code that will do proper things, but it shouldn't be GPIO
ACPI layer.

Platform is a combination of hardware, PCB and uC firmwares. AFAIU that
platform was never designed for use in Linux, correct? So, it is not the same
as any other platform on the same SoC.

No, they are not broken. They have a specific (Windows way) meaning. There is
no quirk implied.

Jeffrey,

Thanks so much for these great information!

May I ask a bit more about how the virtual number N+1+32*n maps back to
the real number (R)?  For example of touchpad GPIO on Flex 5G, I think
we have:

  N+1+32*n = 0x0280
  N = 191
  R = 24

If my math not bad, n = 14.  How does 14 map to 24?

Hans, would appreciate your opinion on this thread. Maybe I'm mistaken in my

Sorry for the ambiguity.  Yes, I was referring to the ACPI tables 
written for the specific platform, of which the DSDT is relevant to this 
discussion.  I did not mean to imply that ACPI as a Spec or concept 
itself was Windows specific.  I used to be on the ASWG (ACPI Spec 
Working Group) and have personal knowledge that no OS or architecture is 
a "second class citizen" as far as the ACPI spec is concerned.

In pinctrl-sc8180x driver you wrote, it has sc8180x_pinctrl.ngpios = 191.
Which one of you should I listen to :)

BTW, if you read this number from DTS, I already sent you a series to
fix them.

As it's clear that the real GPIO number is 24, and the only possible map
in sc8180x_pdc_map[] is:

	{ .gpio = 24, wakeirq = 37 }

So we need to understand how 14 turns to 37.

Oh, if I should look at the index in sc8180x_pdc_map[], { .gpio = 24, .wakeirq = 37 }
sits on 6 or 7 depending on indexing starts from 0 or 1.  Then question
becomes how 14 turns to 6 or 7.

Thanks for your opinion on this, Hans.  Yeah, with the information from
Jeffrey, I now agree with Andy that these high GPIO numbers are not
broken but have some meaning, and we should map them back to real GPIO
number in Qualcomm GPIO driver.

So we reach a consensus that this is not the right solution for Lenovo
Flex 5G. But what about for Andy's Galileo Gen 2 case, where the GPIO
number in ACPI is truly broken?

Well if the ACPI table truely simply has a wrong number in it, like in
this case, then we clearly need a workaround.

>   ba8c90c61847 ("gpio: pca953x: Override IRQ for one of the expanders on Galileo Gen 2")

And we have one in place, so I'm not sure what the question is?

I guess the question is of your generic GPIO renumber patch would not
be a better answer to that ?

IMHO no, we want to keep quirks out of the core as much as possible,
for example the code which Andy added a quirk to is build as a module
in the generic Fedora distro kernel, so for most users the code will
not be loaded into memory. Where as if we add it to the core it would
use up extra memory for everyone.

Also if, in the future, we were to ever add a generic GPIO renumber quirk
mechanism to the core, then your code would need more work. Because to be
truely generic it would need to remap one gpiochip-name:pin-number on
another gpiochip-name:pin-number pair. There might very well be a case
with multiple gpiochips with pin number 32 being referenced in the DSDT
and where we need to remap one of those 32-s to a different number
(or possibly even to a different chip + number).

I guess Shawn is referring to my rework of that quirk [1] due to found a flaw
in the upstreamed variant. I agree, that this is not ideal, but TL;DR: it less
invasive even to the upstreamed approach and it has no use of any hard coded
numbering schemes. The Galileo Gen 2 is "broken" in an *understandable* way,
i.e. ACPI designers put an absolute GPIO numbers (there are two SoC based GPIO
controllers: SCH and DesignWare which numbers starts at 0) instead of be
relative. For the time being only one device has a driver that needs such GPIO
number, but as I explained in the cover letter, to support it as a quirk I have
to copy ~10% of the existing (in gpiolib-acpi.c) code.

I'm all ears for better approach!

Fair point. I did not really think of it, because there is already
gpiolib_acpi_quirks[] in core code.  And on the other side, if there are
more drivers need such workaround, having each of these drivers copy the
same code is not ideal either.

Yeah, I had already have v2 of my patch, just did not post it as the
overall direction is not agreed on.  I attach it here for discussion.
I think with the GPIO consumer specified, it should be good enough to
locate the broken GPIO number that needs override.  If gpiochip is
wrong, that means "\\_SB.GIO0" of GpioInt needs an override.  That's
a different issue.

GpioInt (Level, ActiveLow, ExclusiveAndWake, PullUp, 0x0000,
    "\\_SB.GIO0", 0x00, ResourceConsumer, ,
    )
    {   // Pin list
	0x0280
    }

[PATCH v2] gpiolib: acpi: support override broken GPIO number in ACPI

Running kernel with ACPI on Lenovo Flex 5G laptop, touchpad is just
not working.  That's because the GpioInt number of TCPD node in ACPI
table is simply wrong, and the number even exceeds the maximum GPIO
lines.  As the touchpad works fine with Windows on the same machine,
presumably this is something Windows-ism.  Although it's obviously
a specification violation, believe of that Microsoft will fix this in
the near future is not really realistic.

It adds the support of overriding broken GPIO number in ACPI table
on particular machines, which are matched using DMI info.  Such
mechanism for fixing up broken firmware and ACPI table is not uncommon
in kernel.  And hopefully it can be useful for other machines that get
broken GPIO number coded in ACPI table.

The signature of acpi_get_gpiod() gets updated to pass over acpi_device
pointer of consumer device, so that the broken pin can be matched
precisely with consumer fwnode name.

Changes for v2:
- Match broken pin with additional consumer fwnode name comparison.

Not really it is still pointing to a wrong pin, the full identifier
for a pin in linux (see the userspace iocontrol interface also) is
<gpio-chip-name> + <index> so if we add support for remapping we should
add support for specifying the full pair. But your new approach with
the consumer is also interesting.

Maybe a generic override mechanism should use the following
inputs (indexing into the override map) and outputs:

In: consumer-dev-name + consumer-gpio-pin-name (e.g. "power", etc.)
Out: gpio-chip-name> + index + flags

That would also work in cases where GPIOs are just completely missing
from the DSDTs.

And to circle back to Andy's point about the current fix for his
case requiring duplicating lots of gpiolib-acpi code.

Maybe we need a gpiod_get_with_lookup_table() or some such
where the driver doing the gpiod_get call can specify a lookup
table to do the overriding of the broken DSDT.

I think we should even be able to make this non ACPI specific
this way.

This will allow drivers to avoid having to code all
the lookup code themselves, while still pushing the
responsibility of actually maintaining the lookup-overrides
inside the individual drivers.

Regards,

Hans
